Reasons why kpop companies should target india😭

  • 1. Korean beauty standards and indian beauty standards are pretty much the same. I cannot tell u how many indian actresses who can barely act I've watched who are on the screen just because they're pale skinned and pretty. Some people say it's getting better and india is moving away from their pale skin obsession and appearance obsession but I dont see it irl and all kpop idols would thrive here.


    2. Kpop and kdramas are already pretty big in India so it wouldn't be like they would even have to really push their groups here. Just the bare promotions would bring in a lot of profit.


    3. All these other companies are stupidly fighting for western validation when bts still hasn't won a Grammy 😭 they're never going to realize the west is too racist so while all the companies are targeting the west, targeting india means less competition and india would be/is already way more accepting.


    4. Indian fandoms are super supportive. Literally whenever I go to the movie theaters, the hype is insane. People will literally scream and whistle and cheer for 10 minutes straight as soon as their favorite movie star comes on the screen. If a big movie star has released a movie, just expect very long lines from dedicated fans. This applies to music as well. The fandoms are pretty respectful to the actual celebrity but aggressive in their support for the celebrity.

  • We don't make enough money to be seen as a viable option as a new market.

  • boygroups? sure

    although its still not gonna be a huge profit cause Indians just dont want to spend money


    girlgroups? lol goodluck making pennies

  • Korean beauty standards and indian beauty standards are pretty much the same

    Maybe this thread is purely made in fun but this point is very wrong. Korean people will be mocked and called Chinese and people wouldn't be as accepting of them. People from our own country face this discrimination.

  • I think even without those points india is worth aiming to based off population alone, but what should companies even do? Tour? :melon_think: from what i know only bts and to lesser extent bp are doing decent streaming numbers over there

  • only bts will be able to tour there and maybe bp with an arena tour, India doesn't have a concert going culture

  • it would be hard to tour in india, concert/travel insurance and liability are too high. this is the same problem with brazil as well

  • How big is India's music market?


    It's all about the money, after all. I know that the US and Japan are the biggest music markets, but how big is India's music market in comparison?

    Is this true?

    Are Indians that intolerant to Chinese and other nationalities in Asia?

    It's not about other Asians but only about Chinese and "looking" Chinese. Indians from North eastern part of India get discriminated because they"look" Chinese too.

    India and China have a bad history of wars.

  • are you an indian? if you are, may i know what groups in 4th gen that are popular there?
