Why no one is creating co-ed groups with 10-12 members?

cos every fan would be thinking about them partying all day long

That sound very messy to manage

oppa and unnie can't be close

It already happened, and it was a mess. But it's MBK so not surprising. Listen to these bops!

There’s no demand for co-ed groups. Kard got a bit of hype internationally at the beginning but even them ended up flopping after the initial hype wore off.

Young hot boys and girls in the same group, what can go wrong?
Probably a lot more problems than benefits.

Was it really a "mess"? don't remebmer much news about them at the time only the music.

Co-ed groups usually flop and are more likely to cause scandals

Coed School deserved better tbh

Around 3 to 4 members have past issues brought up.

When they separated into 2 groups, 5dolls served bops too (don't know much about boygroups). It's really sad that Coed School or Five Dolls never hit big

I think with the lack of demand of co-ed groups already, no one wants to invest all the time and money to make a big one.

I mean in general, there's just not any co-ed groups that have been debuting recently. The only one that comes to mind is like Checkmate. Shows how little companies want to dabble in that field...

Yeah, 5Dolls really had something going with their songs.

No one wants oppar and unnir to interact with opposite sex

Coed groups are harder to sell, unable to plant the fantasy that your oppa only woman is you.

SPEED was a gem too.

But I think it's safe to say both groups had moderate success, and ahead of their time.

It's already been done, and it didn't go well for them. (See the Co-Ed School links above.)

The fact that KARD has as much attention as they do -- arguably being the most successful co-ed idol group ever -- is unexpected. There have been many attempts to do the same, even by big powerhouses like SM's subsidiary trying out Play the Siren and SM having Luna feature on their debut song to try to help it succeed.

The kpop fandom just has next to no interest in co-ed groups.

For everyone's reference:

Not really detailed, but you'll get the gist.
