Post produce being too big is a factor but not the only.
Post IOI:
Pristin had 10 but they were the one that were doing good because 7 of them did well in produce with 4 reaching final and 2 debuting. Plus 1 of three not in produce did Girl Spirit. So people knew 8 of them plus they promoted pre debut with 8 members and even released "We" so fans already know the group. They failed because Pledis ditched them for still unknown reasons.
Weki meki has 8 with 4 on produce. The problem is that only Yoojung and Doyeon were known, many didn't remember Elly and Sei from produce and the other four were completely unknown. Nor they promoted much predebut with the full group. Once they debut all the attention was on the 2 from ioi and the main vocal. So here yes was a factor especially since this three are still the most promoted.
Dia is a mess, they were 7 then one was replaced, then 2 got added became 9, the other left. They were always doomed being in MBK. More than the number it the continuous line up change and the poor promotion.
WJSN were already debut and from a know company and already a big group with 12 then 13 and they are doing ok.
Gugudan were 9 and were too many. People didn't like the concept, the name, their debut being during ioi promotion. Most only wanted Semina as they had 2 amazing vocalist and a good dancer and rapper, but when the subunit was created people only cared about Sejeong as she already debuted solo. If they were maybe 5 with Hana and mimi as visual they would done better. But maybe Jellyfish would have still ditched them like Pledis with Pristin.
Chungha and Somi are doing well as solo like every member when promote alone is liked and known.
Post Wanna One:
Nuest the most successful of all but they were already debut and known.
CIX and AB6IX both from small companies and hype faded pretty fast because of long hiatus and Youngmin DUI scandal. Sad thing is that they sell less each comeback, so also the fandom in shrinking.
But i think Wanna one problem is too many solo too soon. Only Daniel is still popular both in show and with music. All are selling less with each album, with poor promotion and the attention completely faded. At least Ong and Jihoon are also actors. But no one seem to remember Jaehwan, Jisung and Sungwoon.
Post X1 is just sad. Only Victon and Cravity are doing well but aside the fandom they are not that known or talked. Drippin is already selling less each comeback. BAE173 is on hiatus and struggle to reach 20k album. Wooseok, Woodz hype have faded and Eunsang still don't have a group and as a solo is not doing well. WEI last album sold 80k but nobody seemed to talk about them after their debut. Same for Mirae but they sold only 50k.
Another point is, it’s just too much. Produce groups are saturating the Kpop market even more and it’s no help for anyone..

Needs more hype!! It’s a bop ❤️

I personally think NCT, SKZ, and ATEEZ are mostly using older EDM sounds and production as opposed to the new, hip-hop banger style techniques and layering they would need to sound current? I see the way it's mixed up as very different. I agree on pop being stale, but I think that's why hip-hop dominates in the west and especially America. Much more creativity and interesting sounds coming out of it. Like listening to the top 20 viral songs on AM and Spotify it's mostly HH and it sounds nothing like kpop. Where kpop sounds like old EDM to me.
But I avoid saying 'western producers' because I think great production can come from anywhere in the world, and often I think Kpop, because it pays less, isn't usually using A++ offerings and producers regardless of where they're from? Also, they need more creative rapping and flows to be respected if they're going with the rap-heavy music styles.
So - but I recognize this is just my opinion! - I don't think NCT/SKZ/ATZ will break big until they do have 2021 tiktok sounds if they want to be noisey and they freshen up their rap.
Are you from the States? EDM never became old in Europe, especially not in the UK.

We need a thread about this… why aren’t they including it already?? It’s strange..

Uh, let’s see!!

Catchy! Fromis always delivers ❤️

Another factor: these big fandoms don’t all listen to every new Kpop song coming out every week. It just can’t be that they all supposedly don’t like these weekly releases from the „others“, but always the one from the big companies… It’s more that they just don’t know or ever listen to certain groups and music.. (exceptions prove the rule).

Was thinking that already in 2019, that BP would have even higher numbers and fans with more comebacks. The hiatus advantage thing was bs all the time.
-
2nd Gen was good but not that good to flex about it - and 3rd plus 4th Gen isn’t that much better either to diss the older music.

Let’s go girls ❤️
I hope it’s not to experimental sounding (for a good start in Japan).
-
Could be a bop!

Hopefully they transition into a new phase as a maturing BG and do a few physically less demanding comebacks, maybe go for a mellower sound.
I think it’s time for that now.
