sugarshine Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) I'm still gagging at Boys Planet/Mnet giving the BL storyline with Kim Ji Woong such a spotlight usually with something like this, they would censor it and just say that he's an "actor". the way all the other trainees gave a standing ovation made me kii so hard. it gives me hope that Drag Race Korea might really become a thing, it would probably be on Mnet too. That Kim Ji Woong preview with his abs is too spicy, my mind hurts they really said "next week". It's one thing to show his abs, but to then put the shirt in his mouth? His visuals are mindblowing. I kind of avoid the trainee(s) that get pushed to the center and are the most popular, but Hanbin's handsome student council president part-time barista boyfriend vibes who is slightly naughty like 1% of the time + the wacking and tutting has me weak ddd there's also something about his energy that just sparkles like no one else on the show (except for Ji Woong) I also think that Hui might have too much of an advantage with his established fanbase, it feels kinda lame that he will probably make the debut group especially with the 1-pick at the end just based on that. He is at least very talented. And would bring some attention/good reputation to the group from the beginning, and he might even write songs for them which would be great. But there are other very talented trainees on the show who don't benefit from that kind of advantage. When NU'EST competed it made sense to me, but Pentagon seems like a higher tier than that especially Hui. Although I understand his reasonings for being on the show and maybe the Pentagon situation is worse than we know. Edited February 17, 2023 by sugarshine

Especially since there aren't many Japanese groups like XG with the way they carry and present themselves. There just needs to be a bigger push. I'm excited for potential Japanese and Korean releases this year, maybe even a proper American debut?

I agree 100%, promoting at korean shows for the k-pop audience is cool and all, but they keep getting negative backlash from the targeted audience (koreans) due to the xenophobia (and a messy CEO) - so what's the point of that promo? To appeal to the international fans? That's cute but that's not enough, kpop is still pretty niche which will limit XG's fanbase no matter how many Inkigayos and MCountdowns they attend. For an international group, like XG, Korea is not enough, Japan is a huge market too, even bigger than k-pop so they better stop ignoring it. Hopefully all the success, sales and streams they're getting will help the company to secure some international perfomances for the next comeback, or AT LEAST Japan please!

First, covid prevented them from fully capitalizing on having a massive hit song, losing out on millions in appearances as well as that direct contact with potential Brave Girls hardos. Second, the girls are old. But then if a bunch of dudes who recently completed their enlistment obligations weren't stuck in their apartments looking at youtube videos, none of this happens, probably. 2 hours ago, Flomik said: they did, with Rollin but it was a fluke It's not a complete fluke because of the hundreds of performances they did for the Korean military, which eventually got paid off thanks to google. The only other group that came close to that kind of effort is Laboum, and they were also rewarded for it, but to a lesser extent. 31 minutes ago, Pluto2022 said: The way XG have been promoting on Music Shows nonstop ever since they released Shooting Star on January 25th Maybe other companies should take notes?

In this reaction below she starts crying and I think it's because of how proud she feels - it's so heartwarming. I see a lot of comments saying how XG are giving something that they don't get in Japan. It made me realise that they really do need to target Japan more. I'm pretty sure they will since they heavily reference Japanese culture in the SHOOTING STAR MV, which is interesting when they are only promoting in Korea. I feel like the girls might be more comfortable too, especially since they mainly communicate in Japanese too I think (except for Maya). It's very important for them to have a connection with their audience and I feel like the Japanese audience would provide them with a much stronger base, which can be their support system or safety net while making moves in the West. And also, they're already charting in Japan so that's another plus! I'm also impressed with how well they are doing on YouTube. They trended in Japan, South Korea, the US and the UK (I'm not sure about other countries) with the SHOOTING STAR MV and even a couple performance videos were trending somewhere too. I think another strength of XG is that they can genuinely do rap/hip hop/r&b well and have a genuine Western/global appeal. In particular, I can see Harvey being very popular amongst teenage girls in America. She has that trendy Ariana and Camila ( ) vibe Edited February 17, 2023 by sugarshine

I think bc Kpop contents are the most watched? Like they have music shows, 4K fancams,studio choom, M2 etcc. Their contents is worldly consumed so it’s easier to gain international fans. Without Kpop plateforms, XG would have been smaller and I doubt they would have get 800k streams per day on Spotify global. For exemple, Flo have never reached these numbers.

I think this case is more that there's been no XG push in Japan at all instead of japanese not wanting to support them. We've seen with NiziU what can be done when there's a proper push. And ofc releasing japanese songs, Japanese artists historically have a really hard time selling english music in Japan.
sugarshine Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) It still gives me chills at how obsessed I was with Brave Girls when they first released Deepened. I would play Rollin' on repeat back in like 2017 and thinking that the song is too catchy not to be a hit and that they deserve more with that chair choreo. I remember watching them perform on an awards show and being upset about them not being more popular. So surreal come on FEARLESS! Edited February 17, 2023 by sugarshine

True, but that doesn't mean they should keep doing only kpop content for all their comebacks. This is NOT enough. As an international group they need to aim even higher at least starting with Japan. I understand that XGALX is a new label and they don't have HYBE-level of influence and finances, but I hope that the current money they're making will be spent for the promotion outside of Korea. Of course there's Avex as well but we don't really know how much they help but if they DO help, they better organize the Japanese promos NOW
