MOMOLAND Nayun with Oh My Girl Yubin - RODEO (Dance Challenge) (250913)

Usually, Theqoo is mostly pro SM artists except when it comes to politics, etc, but today, 80% of the 900 comments are just negative, https://theqoo.net/hot/3911986428?page=4. It's either an overreaction or they really did mess it up. submitted by /u/Accomplished_Low2452 [link] [comments]

In this post I have explored what I think are the non conceptual/ musical trends that have defined this era of groups. As it seems we’ll soon have to 2 major boy groups (SMTR25 and Boys II Planet) debut with mature concepts made me wander what would make them 5th Gen as their vibes will be very different to most the boy groups we got so far. Furthermore I am only really familiar with 5th gen boy groups so my observations are centred on them. (If I picked up something that was already a trend do say) Commercial Success 1. Korean Domestic Charting with staying power ZEROBASEONE, RIIZE, NCT Wish, BOYNEXTDOOR TWS and CORTIS have all charted in Korea with BOYNEXTDOOR and TWS both having tracks that have continued to chart well months after release. 1. Strong sales across the board and from the beginning with solid growth for some have been around for longer (based of last comeback) 4 Million Sellers (ZEROBASEONE 1.5M, RIIZE 1.4M, NCT Wish 1.4M and BOYNEXTDOOR 1.4M) 5th Gen Major Total: 5.7M total (BOYNEXTDOOR and NCT Wish became million sellers for the first time this year) 11 groups with more than a 100k sales (TWS 600k, CORTIS 400k, AHOF 350k, Idntt (Unevermet) 350k, KickFlip 300k, CLOSE YOUR EYES 300k, Xikers 200k, NEXZ 200k, NouerA 200k and EVNNE 150k NOWZ 150k). 5th Get Mid Tier 3.3M total (All but 5 of the mid tier groups (TWS, EVNNE, Xikers, NEXZ, NOWZ) are from this year) 5th Gen Total 9M Their are 5 major 4th Gen Groups (million sales +): Stray Kidz 3M, Enhypen 2.1M, TXT 1.7M, Treasure 1M and Ateez 600k ? (This was only was one album version I couldn’t figure out if there was another) 4th Gen Major Total: 8.4M This bulk of mid tier groups compared to the 4 currently still active 4th Gen groups of The Boyz 450k, P1harmony 300k, Cravity 250k, and Oneus 30k (unclear how this happened but previous sales better with retained brand recognition) (most of which only achieved these sales late in their careers all debuting with less than around 50k sales) 4th Gen mid tier total: 1.1M 4th Gen Total 9.5M Types of groups and members 1. Quantity of International idols Overall number of idols total: 100 International member percentage: 32% Korean 68 Japanese 16 Chinese 7 Canadian 2 American 1 Australian 1 Taiwanese 1 Hong Konger 1 Chinese - Korean 1 Thai 1 Filipino 1 Total of top 4 groups: 23 Korean 14 Japanese 4 Chinese 3 Canadian 1 American 1 Total of mid tier Groups: 77 Korean 54 Japanese 12 Chinese 4 Canadian 1 Australian 1 Taiwanese 1 Hong Konger 1 Chinese - Korean 1 Thai 1 Filipino 1 Fourth Gen major and mid tier total: 56 21% international Korean 42 International 12 (If people are interested in a more detailed breakdown for both with number of groups with foreign members, average number of foreign members per group and breakdown by region I may make a follow up) First debuts for some countries (I think I could be wrong do say if there was earlier debuts) Such as the Philippines (JL in AHOF), Indonesia (Zayyan in XODIAC), North Korean (Hakseong in BE BOYS) Localised groups / Cross National groups (The most successful was so far are the Japanese groups) (NCT Wish and NEXZ), there have also been smaller less successful survival show groups with the same idea such as HORI7ON (Korean and Filipino), THE7 (Korean and Thai) and POLARIX (Korean and Chinese) Survival Shows 1. Survival Show Boom (with large international audiences) (Post Boys Planet) 2. Successful survival show groups 3 fan vote 1 mixed system 3 judge pick 1 spin-off group 3. International PO1s Zhang Hao (Boys Planet - Chinese), Bing Fan (Makemate1 - Chinese), Ma Jiangxiang (Project 7 - Chinese), JL (Univese League - Filipino) and Hyo (B:myboyz - Japanese) Disputable mention for Yura (Japanese) from Fan Pick - reason for dispute P02 member was rigged out so ranks in question 4. Multi show contestants 5. Those repeat characters debuting eventually 6. The legacy of Boys Planet Several former Boys planet members went on to debut in other survival show groups some of those being: Yuseop in NouerA, Ma Jiangxiang in CLOSE YOUR EYES, Cha Woongki and Shuaibo in AHOF (If I missed any please do say) Notable Pre debut groups 1. Trainee A 4 went on to debut 2 in HYBE 1 YG (Yorch is in a small group called POW) 1 is in the pre-debut group SMTR25 elsewhere 2 may debut in boys 2 planet 2. Chromosome entertainment to NouerA Entertainment 2 debuted in NouerA and 2 may debut from Boys II Planet (I think the jellyfish boy planet group should be on this list but I am not sure who are and where the others debuted (I know Gunwook and Yuseop) Abstract: The industry trend I think that defines 5th gen is its place as the first generation post the global explosion of K-pop and the subsequent market fragmentation evidenced by the number of groups with good sales. The other factors that ties SMTR25 and Boys II Planet within 5th Gen by their share of International members, ties to Trainee A and Chromosome Entertainment, the international audience of Boys II Planet and likely strong debut sales in terms of factors. The last thing is based on the key points theory of K-pop Gen’s which consider key switch point years to be the turn over years those being 1st Gen had the first boy group, (I’m unsure of what defined the start of second Gen), 3rd Gen had the viral hit of Gangnam Style, 4th Gen is post BTS explosion globally I believe 5th Gen’s key point was Boys Planet due to the boy group survival show boom it triggered. Please add anything I may have missed or comparison points to other generations. submitted by /u/ARG_obesessed [link] [comments]

They debuted a couple weeks ago now so I know that this is a bit late, sorry if someone has already asked or answered this. VCHA’s music videos seemed to be much higher quality than all versions of Commas so is there any reason why JYPE has seemed skimped out of their debut video? Even nugu groups with 10k sales first week have had seemingly more money poured into them. JYPE is a huge company that can afford to invest in a girl group that hasn’t turned a profit yet. It’s even weirder considering this was made to be a re-debut, you would kind of expect a company to invest more. submitted by /u/DowntownFee1 [link] [comments]
