Which big3 idols do you think would still be popular if they didn't debuted in big3?

BIGBANG

Jisoo

BB!

Maybe SNSD? They had to fight for their popularity.

Quote from catzi

Yes they're the first that crossed my mind, GD especially. Also EXO's Kai

I think EXO as a whole to

BIGBANG of course they have made YG

STRAY KIDS

Quote from selfmate

Jisoo

I doubt it.

her vocals are meh, her dancing is meh, I don't think her face would be enough to make her very popular if she was not in bp. Even in blackpink jennie is the it girl in korea and not jisoo even though people say jisoo suits korean beauty standards more.

BB

Shinee

Got7 & iKon i actually think they might have been more popular.

Yoona

Taemin

Taeyeon

She was scouted for SM not that she actually got in my bad

oh well its all good

Irene

She is also talentless like jisoo but i think her face is enough to make her very popular even in non big3 group. Because she became a it girl in her group even though there are so much more talented members than her in her group just because of face.

black pink

Bigbang

She did good.

Sm sucks

Quote from SandyBee3

Also BP, they naturally seem to attract people even if they do nothing.

they attract people because they have an expensive image which a non top company can't really provide

wow good for jisoo for debuting in one of, if not the most, competitive kpop companies is south korea with zero talent and not even being that pretty

EXO

This is hypothetical cause no one would ever ever know so its 100 percent opinion based, so I would say a few but the bait ones are:

itzy

Miss A

Her talent is very low compared to rest of bp you can't deny that, of course she is pretty and as i said jisoo suits korean beauty standards which is a big reason why she was able to get in YG but i don't think her face alone would be able to make her very popular if she debuted in some nugu company.

Twice and bigbang.

Jennie

There's NCT members who's wasted theirs talented in NCT.

Jennie and Suzy

I think Seungyoon since he did get popular before joining YG.

Every sm group apart from NCT 127

Twice and blackpink only

Irene

She is also talentless like jisoo but i think her face is enough to make her very popular even in non big3 group. Because she became a it girl in her group even though there are so much more talented members than her in her group just because of face.

It was related to my previous post. Both are know for their visual position in their group so they are related.

you were talking about irene tho in that comment not jisoo.

shes currently making hella cash in the biggest kpop gg so keep up your ways .

also anticipate snowdrop and js1.

Probably Red Velvet and Twice.

I don't think BP would do that great since a lot of their initial popularity came from YG media playing and pulling strings. I'm not saying they're not talented as fuck, but talent alone is unfortunately not enough to survive in the K-Pop industry.

Irene ( you chose irene for this comment)

She is also talentless like jisoo ( shaded jisoo) but i think her face is enough to make her very popular even in non big3 group. Because she became a it girl in her group even though there are so much more talented members than her in her group just because of face.

anyways this argument is pointless as you know your intentions, have a nice day

GDragon is the most obvious answer but to spice the question a little i will only talk about idols who didn't debut solo.

I think Bang Chan of Stray Kids can totally work his way inside this industry. I also think Irene would succeed just because she has easily one of the best visual ever. Wendy should be able to succeed solo, though i don't know if she would succeed inside a group. Unfortunatly outside Jennie and Rose i don't see Jisoo nor Lisa succeeding as solo artists (though not consistently). Lisa's language barrier would be much worse on a smaller company and with less exposure from the beginning, it would be hard to create a following as a foreigner. Jisoo has a particular voice but slowly build up a fanbase when bp was growing in popularity. I think she is really dependent on the popularity of the group she is in. As a solo artist i don't think she has that touch to become popular, as the scene is very small in Korea. Twice idk, Jihyo definetly could, Nayeon too but for the others would be very hard. The japanese lineup + tzuyu is super effective as a group but separated it would be way harder.
