Would you stan a western pop group that gave the same kind of sound, choreos, and content as a kpop group?

You are very good at creating interesting threads, OP. Kudos to you

yeah.

i was never into boybands in general (i may have even been anti-boyband since i was a kid). i really only got into kpop because of the songs that caught my attention, so if the sound is the same, then definitely. i also love good and intense choreo, plus the lack of toxic masculinity is refreshing. i could take or leave the content.

at the end of the day, race/nationality is not a factor at all.

For women yeah.

I wasn’t interested in boy bands before nor am I now I don’t really enjoy BGs. Exo was just a singular exception.

If I like the music, why not?

actually idk, if an american replica of itzy were to exist it would be interesting, yuna would be yolanda, ryujin is riley, yeji is yass queen, lia is juliet, and of course chaeryeong is charlotte

and they are all southern

or if txt was txt but all like, their english names? soobin would be steve? I cannot stan a steve guys

i hate that you're so funny i'm literally rn

If I like the music and they had variety content like behind the scenes, vlogs, shows and any way to connect to the fans and for us to get to know them better I don't see why not

If western groups have the content kpop groups did they’d be mocked and ridiculed tbh. I feel such behavior is hypocritically excused because people can give “different culture different behavior” excuse and if it was an American star that was held to the standard of kpop groups they’d only receive mockery.

Kpop is popular because they give content the west can’t and won’t give.

No

don't listen to Western pop so...no

so you wouldn't stan V if his name was Jerry?

jimin if he was Jim?

J-Hope if he was James?

RM if he was Michael?

Baltimore Televangelist Scouts? Hello?

what's a Baltimore evangelist scout?

yes, hybe is planning this

we would see western kpop style group in near future by hybe

for me it all depends on the music.

If it's good music, then yes

Never say never but I have a hard time imagine that.

I didnt fell for the usual kpop artists in the first place. They needed a special story like brave girls to catch me.

Also the morals, the work ethics and discipline were even Korean idols have a hard time live up to them. I have a hard time imagine western artists can pull that of.

Yup, I will

I might be interested if a few conditions are met:

1) I deem them to be great, or at least acceptable, role models.

2) They have a passion in music and actually want to be a part of the industry (they aren't forced into it in any way, that would make me uncomfortable supporting them in all honesty).

3) They keep on making efforts to improve and do better instead of stagnating, no matter how good they currently are.

4) They have little to no scandals to speak of.

5) Both on and off the cameras, they maintain a good relationship with each other, or at least one where they tolerate each other and there is no behind the scenes bullying to speak of.

I think that covers almost everything. Have a great day/night!

sure why not I would give it a try...

I wouldn't dismiss them just because they were western

No, I personally would not.

So, they were basically just like a kpop group but maybe formed by a US label?

I mean, it has to be one of my fav group's otherwise I wouldn't stan. But then again, one of the factors for stanning is voices. Do I like their voices? So probably no. There is something about those voices just fitting right in those songs.

no

why not

but hard to say since I stan like only 1 group

Quote from MissBehave

For giving the content itself and seeming like a product more than artists or for the behavior they would be expected to do in the content like cringe challenges? If it was just like video diaries and behind the scenes stuff, would that be okay?

Everything from the way they behave and act. Kpop stars are untouchable. They don’t share their actual opinions on anything. They don’t date. They act innocent and cute in their behind the scenes. These things SELL. People hypocritically WANT this stuff. But if it was a western artist they would be mocked, ridiculed and laughed at. Kpop acts and their personalities will never work with a wester audience if they were actually western.

Kpop sells only because it’s not the west. Look at the way Day6 Jae reacts to kpop. That would be an American’s stance. Even Americans who go to Korea deliberately change the way they behave to fit the kpop mould.

To think about it, I came across this video on Youtube

and, I can't imagine American (or even Japanese) actors doing the same, playing silly games and chit chatting, if it were American (or Japanese) high school zombie drama.

maybe? but i can't imagine a western girl group that's cute and makes bubblegum pop music. the only ones i can think of have been overly sexy or "i'm an independent woman" which is fine but that's why i never really liked western girl groups. if anything it always seemed kind of try hard and cringey to me???

i'm a cute woman that likes pink frilly cute things. i like a lot of different music, but sometimes i just want a playful love song where the people singing it make choreographed hand hearts, you know??
