Why don’t JYP groups have any idols big in China like other companies?

  • Looking at this ranking of China bars (probably missing Baekhyun, Irene, Karina and some others) I don’t see any JYP idol names here. In 3rd gen, JYP groups with biggest Chinese bars like Nayeon/Tzuyu, their bars buy only 15K copies per album while other bars like Lisa bar or V bar buys more than 100K copies. Even in 4th gen, Hyunjin, who has the biggest Chinese fanbase in JYP, his fanbase only buys half the albums of Yeonjun/Sakura/Wonyoung fanbase. Why don’t JYP groups appeal to Chinese audience much?pasted-from-clipboard.png

    Nickhyun. Taecyeon. They did in the past.


    Miss A's flop made JYP completely pivot markets. JYP doesn't do foreign members anymore, and if he has any famous K members, he pushes them to Japan.

  • jyp secured the jp market with twice and after the tzuyu incident jyp probably doesn't want to try the China market anymore
