Mass appeal song that’s a hit Vs music suiting your taste that ‘flops’ - which do you prefer for your group?

Songs that flop but are MY taste because MY taste >>>>> gp taste

Quote from Sweet-Spice

My favorite SKZ song is Side Effects so...

Same.

I'm cool with them being nugu for the rest of time if I can get CHERRY BOMB 2.0 plz and ty

usually kpop song doesnt target to general public at all, it mostly target a specific audience ie kpop fanbase..
the song that a hit with gp usually also the song that kpop fan dont like it

its ironic but most of kpop fan like to see their fav get popular but dont like it when the song doesnt match their taste

I have selfish reasons to stan or I am not enough invested in my faves career to prefer a hit to a song that I love. If they find success with a song that I dislike then I am still happy for them.

if i hate a song by my faves but it becomes a hit that has mass apeal i would just not listen to that song and be really happy for them and anticipate the new songs that will come given that new resources became available to my faves and they could hopefully explore new things and continue to be themselves and make other songs that i would eventually like.

i am sort of selfish with this lol, so i will always prefer songs that i love regardless of the public's reception and success.

But, i also want my faves to be successful and happy, so as long as i don't absolutely hate the song and as long as the b-sides are to my liking i'd be happy for them to find success with a song that i don't particularly love.

Mass appealing music for a title track to lure new fans in and B-side bangers to keep the fans, old and new, happy, bopping and asking for more.

Music that makes them happy in creating. I think the first people they need to please are themselves. Because in the end of the day, I'm just one in a million, each people in the mass are also one in a million, we can come and go. But their music is immortalized in their history, so It has to make them satisfied.

Luckily, me and my faves have been walking together in taste.

mass appealing title tracks cant be that bad, i'll rather that than face the stress of a comeback flopping

The flop one for sure.

Even outside Kpopverse I care more about the unusual stuff than radio friendly songs.

Well, I barely listen to radio friendly songs in general lol
