With Stray Kids's success it's strange that JYP isn't trying to launch another boy group. It's been 6 years since Stray kids launched.

 

SM is dragging their feet on a post-NCT boy group too and would rather debut another girl group to compete with aespa.

 

Trainee A got scrapped too.....

 

Are the companies scared?

it seems like boy groups have a longer shelf life than girl groups

Stray Kids are the Melanie Martinez of K-pop :clap3:

 

Good album sales + good touring stats but no hits and absolutely irrelevant to the GP eyes

the way Stray Kids have still yet to release an original song in English despite being able to sell stadiums in America

they should focus on releasing a listenable song in their native language before moving on to terrorize another population's ears

Bestie, I was saying ever since NMIXX debuted which means 2022 songs, and if we compare the 3 groups singles from last year:

 

1. O.O - 122M

2. DICE - 89M 

3. Illusion - 88M

4. Girls - 71M

5. Sneakers - 66M

6. Cheshire - 49M

Got It now :gaycat6:

 

Btw some of this succesful songs in korea are international flops like Teddy Bear, the 2 nmixx new songs and sneakers, only Korea stans those childish songs.

I lost trust in all men.

 

Not Haruto from Treasure being homophobic and being loud about it. 

 

Plus his Koreans fans turning on him and leaking his private SNS accounts, him being friend with problematic accounts and saessangs.

do they really need the GP when their amount of fans get their albums into the top 10 best selling Korean albums of all time, #6 best selling album worldwide in 2022, sold out concert tores, etc?

 

it seems the GP are Stray Kids stans by default

To be fair though, they've had years of headstart compared to other big groups of this gen, and that gave them more time to garner a fanbase. Not to take away from their growth though, Bang Chan and friends did see a meteoric rise over the years. It's just that i feel like whenever someone calls SKZ and GIDLE 4th gen and compares them with newer groups, it'll forever be kinda weird to me.

Also it's kinda messy that the Korean GP still says NO to their music even after all these years...like not even zombie streams :rip:

-----------------------------------

 

Not over an hour long video :deadbanana2:

but i absolutely love how he always talks about the production, the lighting, the cinematography etc....like i realize how much stuff i overlook in these music videos until I watch his reactions :ducky:

The way this person was ranking the Music Bank Paris performances and rated SKZ's performance bad because the cheers were too loud :toofunny2: Like girl it's a concert, what do you expect  especially when most people attended the event for SKZ

I think it's because JYP is mostly a gg company, and they aren't really used to have a successful boy group like that, and they didn't expect that SKZ would be this big when they launched them at first. Keep in mind that SKZ's predecessors were GOT7 for example, so they weren't really expected to fill in big shoes compared to other groups like TXT etc.

Btw, JYP will launch a new boy group this year actually known as "JYP Loud"

well at least they can snatch hits in Japan, if  Korea doesn't care about them + they also have a member with a big bullying scandal that even made it to the Korean news, so it would 5x time harder for them to snatch a gp hit in their home country sadly.

after a quick spreadsheet calculation:

 

aespa - 977,328,397 (also contains streams from remixes on their page)

Lesserafim - 699,119,271

 

 

also some soloists I mentioned earlier:

 

Chungha - 718,484,161 (i knew she had a lot of material but i didnt know she has SO many OSTs:deadbanana2:)

Sunmi - 652,070,043

Jessi - 461,869,111

Somi - 484,722,927

Hyuna - 396,366,630

Kang Daniel - 145,880,573 (y'all better stream my man he makes good music)

 

 

I didn't check the soloists who are still a part of active groups because there's too many of them :rip: I might check the big ones like the BP girls, Nayeonce, EXO boys, etc. though.
