How do I answer this
-
Because they still make money nonetheless.
They target different consumers. It's the same reason why phone companies sell budget, mid-range and flagship phones, even if one makes more money.

Genuine question.
I love my favorite GG's, but I always wonder why companies make girl groups if boy groups could make them more money/sell more?
and Twice are exceptions IMO
( but they are anomalies)
Extra revenue.
Same reason why car companies sell different type of cars. SUV's may be the cars that sell the most, but you can make some extra sales with Minivans or Sedans.
-
Because why stop at one venture for money when you can have 2 ventures for money.
All girl groups tend to get more public recognition = CFs = more $$$$
-
Speaking of GG's, I'm gonna celebrate 71 minutes of S.E.S stages that was uploaded today

Why only get money from Boy groups when you can get money from Boy and Girls
-
because there's more possibilities of gp success
that means more money from digitals, tv shows, cfs, magazines, dramas, and concerts/events that the company gets a cut out of
-
-
because there's demand
-
McDonald's may make more from burgers but they still gonna pump out chickie nuggies
-
1) Selling less is still selling. In some cases, this still means selling a lot.
2) Selling music isn't the only way for companies to make money.
-
cause they can make money from both lol
-
Well let's be honest, ggs are more loved and is more likely to have a hit.
-
One reason. More money
-
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Why only get money from Boy groups when you can get money from Boy and Girls
I always feel like GGs are harder to manage just because netizens can be crueler to them.
But the GP really likes GGs.

This is why I fail in life.

Because GGs have some demand.
However, it is true that GGs don't make as much as BGs except in rare cases.
At the beginning of the Kpop boom, WG and SNSD did better than boy groups. In addition, the GGs mostly aimed for Japan, where the saturation of the AKB and "Zaka" groups created an opportunity.
Also girl groups were often sent to events.
The covid thing basically ended all the event, and access to Japan was restricted. Which is why making GGs has been discouraged. -
They target different demographics. But the demographics that boy groups target are more likely to buy merch, albums and concert tickets.
Certainly the Korean general public prefer girl groups these days, which is why pretty much every boy group struggles to chart in Korea.
The Korean GP are pretty much over boy groups for the most part. But I don't think labels care about that anymore. They care about making money.
The general public doesn't buy merch or all of the things that make labels a lot of money. But if you hit it with a moderately popular girl group you can rake in endorsements CFs.
But understandably fangirls pay the bills for a lot of labels. Hence more boy groups. Labels, particularly small ones, can make a quick dollar with boy groups without even being all that popular. You just need a highly concentrated, highly motivated fanbase...it doesn't matter if it's big.
That's why you see labels making more boy groups and targeting Japan, China and the US. Korea has become somewhat of an afterthought. Labels are creating global groups.

BB's sell a lot/ fandom power.
I think I've only seen groups like BTS, or BigBang(pre-scandal) get a lot of general public support.
Hopefull, events will start soon so that I can become even broker

Well, the obvious answer have alreaday mean give by others.
But I wondering, do boy groups really sell much better if your look behind the top 3-4 groups?
I've heard GG's do well in streaming, CF's, endorsements etc. And some Girl groups really sell well( BP, Twice) at the top.
But mid-tier boy groups can still sell a lot, which is why I feel like they are really profitable.
because it is hard to have a top GG, who can do all of that other stuff to make $$$.
While mid-tier BB is hard to get to but not as hard at top GG.

actually, as seen in Izone or Gidle, it has become a fandom only genre as well.
-
seems like a company with a good balance of bgs and ggs will have a better balance of both fandom and public recognition??? which would be better for the company to not only earn money but be well known to the public
-
How about Brave Grils, or OMG? They are mainly GP-focused IMO.
-
-
hey, girl want to make group too not just boy..
[insert angry pout face]
-
They chart alot better and sell a good amount of albums if they're successful.
-

They are among the last of their breed. Both debuted before 2017.

Because some fans only care about GGs

Generally speaking, the boring men make music for the girl groups. And I remember when boring cute girl groups kept debuting and ruining kpop; now it's the boring girl/teen crush groups debuting and ruining kpop. I'd like to see some grown-ass soloists, who were never group members, getting more publicity than the average group of either gender.
