why is jhope not as popular as jimin?

  • this is not to drag any of them, just curious.

    both are known for their dancing skills, both are known to be fun and like to joke around others, and at the start, both were considered not very “good looking”. however, when it comes to solo fandom and GP recognition, why is jimin so much more popular?

  • Jimin is promoted more and jimin may not be in the visual line of bts but he's not exactly considered not good looking and is far from being a visual hole.Also he exudes sex appeal when he's performing but is a cutie outside.

  • fans prefer how one looks more than the other

  • Jimin is party of the visual line.


    But I know Jhope is more popular among American fans.

    At least that's my impression

  • but jin is a visual and he’s not that popular so maybe looks don’t matter?

    V is the most popular idol in kpop and he got popular for his visuals.Jin isn't as popular as jungkook and V because he barely got promoted.It's simple Jimin is more popular than jhope because people like his visuals more.

  • I don't think jhope is unpopular one as compared to back then when he was super underrated. But after hope world he gained a big fanbase obviously jimin is more popular in gp because he was given more exposure during rookie era(dancing collabs at year end shows ) and koreans tend to love voices like jimin.

    Not everything is about visuals when i found bts i immediately found taejin the most good looking ones but suga became my bias. If that's the case why isnt jisoo is the most popular one in BP?

  • Jimin's looks fit the Korean beauty standards better.

    I never said everyone would have the visuals as their biases??Ofcos that's not the case for everyone but kpop main selling point is their visuals.And jisoo isn't as promoted as the other members lol.Why do u think V is the most popular idol and Jimin is more popular than jhope then??

  • Maknae line biased armys are the loudest and the hyungline biased armys are more lowkey. Also BTS rap songs do not get as much attention compared to the vocal line. Just check spotify. I think it is a matter of preference at the end of the day. Most of us were not into the rap genre until bts happened.


    Also it depends on which member an army relates to more.

    Hobi's excited and bubbly personality was a turn off before. I actually thought he was faking it and found it cringe. But later when i discovered more sides of him i fell so hard and now he is officially my bias wrecker and my 2nd most liked member. J Hope has such a complex personality.


    So i kinda get why Jimin is more popular than J Hope but i don't think it is something to get upset about. Each member's popularity ends up contributing to the group as a whole

    I shared my views in previous post u can take a look at it. In my opinion obviously visuals do play a role because kpop focuses too much on visuals but since debut era maknae line had more stans because they had that "goofy relatable idol like " personalities and did more interactions with fans than others (vlives and better fan service etc). Jhope also had that super extra personality but don't get me wrong it sometimes looked really fake. And Tbh individual popularity difference isnt even much now.

  • To add to this anyone who thinks Jimin is not a visual is blind af

    Interesting because I think what makes BTS “authentic” to people is that they have self producing underground rappers, and I’ve seen on Reddit most fans said they prefer BTS hip hop songs, yet the rap songs don’t do as well as the pop songs in streaming?

  • Combination of promotion and visuals/charm (I'd say Jimin is more charming than handsome)
