Y'all are prolly tired of me posting Twice/Itzy stuff so...have some Hyuna!






---

Chaeyoung is 3 on my Twice list but I think she's phenomenal. The most adorable/precious of the girls but free spirited and can be badass despite being the smol. Super underrated too which kinda plays into why I like Feel Special so much because she actually got to sing AND open.

Here's Hyunas full Calvin Klein photoshoot collection

Nice. Maybe they can perform in the west sometime too.

They're basically a lock for the American KCONs but they almost certainly aren't gonna tour or promote here, they've only got a year left and their focus is pretty locked on Korea and Japan/Asia

where the FUCK is the yeonwoo pics

She not in Kpop anymore sadly. Not that that would stop me from posting the ass pics but no Kpop means less photo ops/fancams

What would you say are the most popular K-pop girl groups? Is Twice first and IzOne second?

BP and Twice are virtually tied for #1, an argument could be made either way, IZ*ONE has the strongest case for being next in line (and not all that far back as of late) followed by Red Velvet, Mamamoo, Gfriend.

Apparently YG;s going to debut a new girl group this year, despite the fact that Blackpink still only has 13 original songs >_>

I know YG confirmation doesn't mean it'll actually happen when they say it will but the fact that a new gg is even on their radar is crazy considering the circumstances.

But I guess they gotta get out their ITZY/SM new gg rival asap if they wanna compete.

On that topic, JYP is doing another competition show for another girl group. Except this time it's all Japanese and some of them resemble the twice girls a bit lol.

Makes me wonder just how much more money/impact there is in Kpop compared to Jpop if these girls would rather make an all j Kpop group than just make one in Japan lol

Nizi isnt going to be a kpop group though, they may have more kpop influences than other jpop groups due to being partly under JYP but they are a J-pop group technically, just like JYP made a C-pop boy group that only promotes in China

Also the Japanese market is several times bigger than the Korean market, its 2nd to the US in terms of biggest music markets in the world, thats why kpop companies push their groups to go promote in Japan (and basically anywhere else they feasibly can) while Japanese groups have never bothered with reaching out to other markets

Oh? I pretty much never hear about jpop in the us

Right, because Japan is such a big industry by itself that jpop groups have never made any effort to expand outward, and in fact jpop companies have gone out of their way to make consuming jpop outside of Japan nearly impossible though they are easing up on that. For the longest time Jpop MVs werent even uploaded to youtube and its incredibly hard to find any subbed content because the companies basically get everything taken down.

The Korean market is small and so the Korean government and kpop companies have gone out of their way to push kpop to any and everywhere it can, and make content accessible.

Kpop no doubt has a wider reach than Jpop but theres only more money in kpop if youre one of the very few groups that get extremely popular in both Korea itself AND some market outside Korea, which is literally only a handful of the top of the top kpop groups. Twice only got as big as they did because of Japan, BTS because of America, BP because of SEA, etc... They are exceptions rather than the norm, so many kpop groups barely (if ever) actually make money.

Ah okay. I misread/misunderstood what you said in the previous post. Its clearer now. Sorry about that.

No worries

looks like gidle is now cancelling both their tour and actual comeback. the tour makes sense, basically all groups are cancelling concerts rn but cancelling the entire comeback is odd
