What does a female idol need to do to get a fanbase like Lisa/BP?

  • Seriously, her sales and individual popularity are nuts. I feel like she's an anomaly even in her group.


    what does a female idol need to do to foster a very dedicated fanbase like Lisa's? let's say you are the CEO of a kpop company and you want to replicate BlackPink's results with a new idol.


    does she need a specific look? personality? nationality? discuss

  • someone who is down to earth, charismatic, talented, foreigner , have a girl crush image


    this formula would make all female fans would fall for you.

  • Some companies have been trying for it.


    But you can never fully replicate another person - see Jaejoong and Taeyong. They could find a Thai girl who looks like Lisa and is a good dancer, and give her Lisa's style, but she still won't be Lisa. It's a lightning in a bottle situation.

    Why does being a foreigner matter? Will female fans not stan a Korean girl?


    Fangirls have no problem stanning Koreans like BTS.

    Nah I truly believe Lisa "looking the least Asian" contributed a lot to her popularity .

  • Make your female idol/group easy to insert yourself in. Pretty, popular and rich girls who sing about being a badass & whom many male idols look up to? Perfect for female fans to insert themselves in.

    Cute concepts aren't that interesting for girls to insert themselves in.


    Lisa actually having something she's objectively good at (dancing) helps her jump out even in bp.

  • Lisa's really charming and she's doesn't look like your typical kpop idol too ( v shaped face and all that).

    She's from BP and their outfits are tdf!! Screams fashionable and luxurious at the same time

  • Come from a country not known for producing major stars, adopt another countries culture and play victim and voila.


    She’s extremely good at playing the poor helpless victim. It’s not about talent.

    Contrary to your belief, she's not a user on allkpop. She hasn't played victim once. Some of her stans might, but she doesn't. Otherwise, state a quote she said, link a video, or something.

    Hmm that describes Itzy perfectly but tbh they’re not all that popular lol. in fact their girl power schtick is lowkey annoying


    maybe BP is girl power but in a more classy and chic way?

  • It's hard to say, Lisa and the other members just have IT. Their popularity is a sum of things, stars aligning kind of thing. You might argue they come from a big 3 company, but there are no other groups reaching their level anytime soon so they are special even among them

  • X Factor is a huge plus which Lisa deffo has.

  • If I knew I would be rich

    i'm sorry the others have star power but but lisa is bigger than them. BP would not be as big without her, she will always do well even if she leave YG

    Only lisa and jennie

  • Jennie is popular, I won't deny that, but Lisa still is bigger with barely doing anything.

    Lisa is indeed bigger and with doing the bare minimum, but Jennie rules Korea with no doubt. Ofcourse internationally being bigger is the best, but dont underestimate having koreans favor as a korean idol. It's huge and important.


    Rosé and jisoo are just filler members. Any pretty, skinny idol could have replaced them.

    You are entitled to your dumb and wrong opinion! BP are big the way they are specifically because all members are massive and have star power, not only 1. That's what sets them apart from other girl groups

  • be extremely pretty, kind hearted, well talented, have a huge stage presence. Sounds simple but it really isn't.

  • Lisa is so talented and hard work as a dancer and rapper.


    She has been praised as a living doll because of her chubby face, big round eyes, and pretty lines.


    She can make almost everyone around her laugh because she is funny.


    She is so sweet and kind towards many people.


    She is fluent in four languages. She speaks Thai, Korean, English, and Japanese, which pretty much makes her a global artist.


    She is a really fashionable person. She loves wearing a beautiful clothes like Celine and Penshoppe.


    She is well-known for frequently making news and breaking records.

  • Be a very fashionable and a good performer

    Have a personality

    Fluent in English

    Be in a huge company will increase the chance by 100x fold

  • Hmm that describes Itzy perfectly but tbh they’re not all that popular lol. in fact their girl power schtick is lowkey annoying

    Itzy isn’t nearly as luxurious as Blackpink. They feel more like a “normal girl” while BP has an untouchable glamorous air to them.


    Aespa is more similar to BP in that way.

  • You are entitled to your dumb and wrong opinion! BP are big the way they are specifically because all members are massive and have star power, not only 1. That's what sets them apart from other girl groups

    Yes the other members have star power but Lisa is bigger than them because she have bigger star power, what's not clicking?


    You are so delusional if you think BP would be as big as they are now without her. Delusional.

    Girl! jennie has the whole Korea wrapped around her finger. And other members are really popular in Korea and globally . You're trying to make BP look like suzy and friends. 😂

    for the longest time rose was pitied because many didn't care about her or found her boring. Not even a drag to say she's one of the least popular ones. Jisoo wasn't as relevant as the others either, but at least she was known as one of THE visuals in the 3rd gen in korea, which helped her.


    Before this year, you could have replaced both of them with talented pretty girls & bp would have still succeeded. Lisa and Jennie are vital for bp getting as big as they are now tho. it's only since late 2020/2021 that rose & jisoo got more recognition, so i don't see why they should get credit for bp being as big as they are

  • naturally beautiful and talented. no plastic surgery. ehem

  • Be in a gg with the right concept

    Good bops

    Killer overbudget mvs

    High end endorsements

    Netflix movie

    Movie

    Be in the fashion world


    Have a solo and go over budget with that too.


    Unfortunately I don’t think she will last as a performer but I hope I’m wrong.

    Her music is just annoying and she is a super annoying singer or whatever she is.


    Kardashians have a higher ig count and is loaded in ways Lisa can never be.

    And they don’t even sing. So don’t think Lisa is all that.


    Lisa will be a fashion influencer but she ain’t really pretty. The other girls are.

  • Lisa is indeed bigger and with doing the bare minimum, but Jennie rules Korea with no doubt. Ofcourse internationally being bigger is the best, but dont underestimate having koreans favor as a korean idol. It's huge and important.


    Rosé and jisoo are just filler members. Any pretty, skinny idol could have replaced them.

    tbh the only filler member in BlackPink is Jisoo. You could replace her with any Korean visual and it wouldn't matter.


    Rosé at least has her indie girl voice and English skills, even if she doesn't have as much celebrity aura as JenLisa.

  • Girl! jennie has the whole Korea wrapped around her finger. And other members are really popular in Korea and globally . You're trying to make BP look like suzy and friends. 😂

    there's a notable gap in popularity between lisa and jennie compared to jisoo and rosé.

  • Girl! jennie has the whole Korea wrapped around her finger. And other members are really popular in Korea and globally . You're trying to make BP look like suzy and friends. 😂

    Korea =/= Worldwide.

    Every big3 girl group have that idol that is pushed the most in Korea, we've seen in SM with Irene (until her "scandal"), JYP until Suzy, and YG with Jennie. So just because she have the most deals and is the most popular in SK her power is bigger than Lisa? What kind of logic?

    Lisa is literally the only idol that can rival the youngest members of BTS in terms of popularity.

    You are lying to yourself if you think that if she was replaced by another trainee like Miyeon, Blackpink would be as massive as they are worldwide.

  • fake blaccent...foreigners seem to dig it

  • Where did I say jennie is more popular than Lisa? And I never said Lisa doesn't contribute to BP's popularity let alone calling her replaceble. You sounded like Lisa alone is carrying the group.

    The thing is being the least popular in BP is not even a drag when they have individually a bigger following than whole ass groups. If we use ig numbers around the time they created their accounts, the members didn't have a big gap between them so nope jisoo & rose were never ignored like some of you are implying here.


    In all groups there will always be members who are more popular, doesn't mean the others weren't essencial for the overall success, if that was the case, many of the groups with these so called "it girls/boys" would be able to carry their groups to BP's level

  • get themselves a Teddy

    have a lot of talent

    be charming and

    be a really nice human being so that they have God on their side :dancer::siptear::siptear:

    Jisoo is the second most popular in Korean, China and Japan not sure people want to use the Jisoo is the least popular member agenda and she is the most popular in France too. There isn't a big gag in popularity between the members except for Lisa internationally.
