Multinational Kpop group concept is a failed idea.

Quote from Uni909

What do all these groups have in common?
-from nugu agencies

-not invited to music or variety shows in

-few to none korean members

-majority of the lineup are foreigners

-rushed training(3-6 months)

-bad planning

-bad management

-little support from Kpop community

I was naive in the past and thought some of these groups might work internationally. Now after seen several attempts with the latest Beauty Box that falls in line with the points I made, I hope we won't see more of these type of the groups. Despite me being a bit happy for the debut of the first vietnamese Kpop idol from Beauty Box. But these nugu agencies are wasting money and time from young kids across the world, giving them false hope of utopian world of multicultural Kpop.

The main problem is that nugu labels are the ones doing these. If Hybe came out with a multicultural group, it would be a guaranteed success. If JYP stuck in a white, black, or brown trainee in their new GG, the GG would still be a success.

My prediction is that the 5th generation of Kpop will see the first non Asian superstar idol as well as the first openly gay idol.

those groups would flop even if all of them were korean

first openly gay idol.

booooo why must it always be gay? Give me a bi male idol

yeah

just wait for SM's NCT Hollywood and HYBEs USA group aswell

The issue is it comes from nugu groups, not so much the concept. Z-Project is the only one who had a decent budget too, and even then they didn’t promote like usual Kpop groups

If a bigger company did it, they’d pull it off well

Well NCT have people from us,Canada,JP ,China, Thailand, Taiwan etc thats pretty multicultural and theyre extremely successful

Quote from neonanton1

They need a company like JYP or Cube to debut them/train them and good producers. Also one good thing about Cube most of them foreign artist speak korean well

Didnt jyp said they plan to make a survival show in america to make a kpop group with local members?

Quote from neonanton1

He did if I remember correctly its probably going to be around late 2022 or 2023

Oh too bad I thought it would be sooner

But I'm really curious to see how it will turn out

Why does this reminds me of a Japanese company that literally took girls who apaeared on "The Voice" in their European homecountries and to make it look Japanese they trew in the only woman of a disbanded girlgroup that didn't left the company

That's why I am excited for Iland s2. They're opening audition in SEA too. I hope there is someone from there will pass the audition. Beside, those groups you mention are all from small company so even they're debuting with all korean members, it still difficult to succeed.

i don't think it has to do with the countries of the idols but rather the nugu companies themselves

Yeah but all of them are "foreigners" are east Asian so technically by the Korean standards they're okay

The day a non Asian or and east Asian becomes popular is the day a big company debuts them just like how Japanese idols only became a really thing when big companies like SM,JYP and YG added them to their groups prior to this Japanese idols used to debut only in nugu groups

YG Thailand is recruiting for trainees. The application closed on Oct 31.

I disagree. "Foreigner" should not be a concept. Similar to the case of (G)I-Dle, foreign trainees should be chosen for being best trainees at hand, not just for being foreigner.

The show "My Teenage Girls" (aka After School Excitement) also did global recruitment. You can check out the result. They are few foreigners of Korean ethnic and that's it.

I am sorry but I don't really enjoy any mbc survival show. Other than that, the hype behind that show is underwhelming, it is hard for them to succeed. They are overshadowed by Gp999 and Iland s2. They will be another group that fit under this thread category.

It won't because the debut group will include no foreigner.
