The curse of having GGs with 4 members

Why do kpoppies keep pushing the narrative only BP has akgaes/solo stans as if they pretty much invented it, exo & bts also got a bunch of them so the number of members is not the issue. I think having fewer members can help all of them have exposure and stand out more but that's it. I see the same happening for itzy, aespa and a bunch of newer gg that were modeled after bp's success. You only see the blackpink ones because they are 10 times bigger than all other ggs

2018-2019 BP akgae problem was the worst.

But I don’t think it’s a 4 member issue since Mamamoo and 2ne1 didn’t have a problem.

lol what are you talking about? 2ne1 got that problem too lol CL fans vs dara fans it was bad too it's just blackpink's fandom is much bigger

Quote from nevermindmejin

How about Mamamoo? Do they have this problem too?

The solo stan exist like everywhere, but the fandom is so much feed in content they all have solo activity and youtube channel and they have all always been close to the fans. The fandom is also very protective of girls if solo stans are too vocal. There are solo stans but they remain affiliated with the group above all and try to support the other members as well. The fandom is pretty quiet anyway, they're not very vocal and focus on other things instead, there's so much content you never get bored and there's also a common enemy which is RBW that unites the fandom lol.

The problem is different, the Blinks mainly complain about the lack of content. The Moomoos we even have too much content (more than 70 songs in 2021 and new TV/radio show every week, youtube content every week and more). The problem with the company is that it has openly said that it will minimize the promotion of the group because they no longer want to be know as "Mamamoo company". So the war between the fandom and the company has been going on for almost 2 years now.

And the Blinks send trucks to YG for protest, the Kmoomoos protest by sending french macarons

Coz RBW’s CEO is diabetic? Lol

They fight, they bite

They bite and fight and bite,

Fight fight fight, bite bite bite,

The blinks and MYs akgae Show!

smaller group means more akgae it is known Fact.

Im just curious, who's fighting in aespa. As far as I know, there is HUGE gap between karina+winter and the other two. They are not like Blackpink where their individual popularity are closer to each others. So thereotically their akgae fans problem wouldnt be as much

Quote from RoseOutsings

BP's akgae problem started with sea fans of lisa. I can see ningning fans doing the same with aespa.

Ningning's?? She isnt the most popular in her home country nor any of the SEA countries. Karina and Winter are league above in term of popularity.

u must be kidding with 2ne1.

2ne1 literally had the worst akgae issue back then. Fans of Bom, Minzy and Dara were complaining about CL hogging all the lines and they are like backup dancer. Minzy and Dara's fans also made a lot of noise about no solo promotion while CL and Bom gotten theirs

Quote from Bpsosoro

Exactly, the only ones with ‘loud’ akgaes are winter and karina. Ningning and Giselle aren’t popular enough, the bigger problem will be the growing gap of popularity of winter karina and nnn Giselle. The later aren’t even most popular in their own country’s it’s gonna be tough

the last line is the sad truth.

Ningning is the 3rd most popular in China and giselle is the least popular in Japan..

I mean at least aespa still releases music

Come here! Imma just throw a punch at you

Complete BS, not to mention xenophobic. It started because of solo activities, and got even worse when Jennie had her solo debut. Then everything became a competition. But stick to your fake narrative if you wish.

Quote from nevermindmejin

How about Mamamoo? Do they have this problem too? What other groups have 4 members? Maybe we can see if there’s a pattern..

They do exist for Mamamoo but still a minority and not as vocal like with other groups. In their case though, solo stanning makes sense since the girls all have active solo careers now and their music is different from the group's.

I dont buy it

I don't have a problem with it, in fact, I like groups with fewer members. It's more intimate and far easier to remember everyone's faces and names. Aespa is perfect with 4 members.
