I don't think there are as many ex-members of girl group soloists who consistently release music compared to boy soloists. For example, a lot of ioi members joined girl groups or became actresses, except for Somi and chungha. While wanna one has kang Daniel, Kim jaehwan, Ha sung woo, yoo jisung (and those are the only ones I know for sure). As for the soloists you listed, while they are popular, it's still only a small number compared to the amount of male soloists.

I really liked dumb dumb, the only problem I had was its length. Given the fact solo and gone (on the ground was mediocre imo) were both really good, I have hopes for her solo.

True true, I can't believe I forgot about him oops. I think kai's solo also was really famous.

Question: Other than the soloists who are from active or famous groups, there aren't a lot of famous male soloists who are well known for their music internationally. Other than like Taemin and Jackson, I don't think people can easily name a song from a male soloist. I personally believe a lot of them are still super talented and make really good music so I was just wondering if anyone had any theories to why they aren't that famous.
Examples:
- A lot of post wanna one soloists are barely getting any hype internationally (or even in Korea). Here are some of my favs:

Other than Kang Daniel (literal wall in popularity), I don't think any of the post wanna one soloists are well known at all.
- Or even Eric Nam isn't that famous for his music at least, which is really shocking to me. Like if you asked a Kpop fan if they knew who he was, they would probably say yes but couldn't name one of his songs.

I think Gaho also deserves a lot more hype than he gets as well. I know he gained some fame for the ost he did, but he still isn't well known at all.

And the reason I made this post, woodz. I know his songs are kind of popular, but I don't think he has a dedicated fanbase just for his music, which is something I think majority of Kpop male soloists lack for some reason.

Idk man, I think it's going to Rocket Punch (jk, I wish tho). While I think it's too soon to judge, AESPA is definitely going to be huge and probably one of the biggest 4th gen groups.

I like it. Don't know who Tiger jk is, but his part fits really well with the song. Definitely going on my playlist.

Ahhh, I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to listen to all of it yet. But I just listened to pieces of love and it's amazing. I'll post an update once I listen to the whole album.

let's go home- Kim sejeong

I never go out my way to listen to it, but if it ever comes on shuffle while I'm listening to my playlist, it always makes me smile.

As much as I wanna say GWSN, i don't think it will happen. I can see stray kids becoming huge this year tho.

Wannabe is the best title track imo

I'll be honest, Not Shy is messy at first listen but it will grow on me
I think I feel that way about most itzy songs, with the exception of wannabe

I agree. Ghosting is one of my favorite songs of 2020.
