Korean Netizens Share Thoughts Why Rookie K-Pop Boy Groups Aren’t Doing Well Recently
When it comes to K-Pop, there have been many groups formed over the years, coming from top to independent music labels alike. However, some K-pop fans have noticed that these so-called "rookie groups" haven't really hit the hearts of many, and they don't shine like the rest.
Netizens have shared their thoughts on this through an online community. They were really open to their opinions when it comes to these groups, and some of their comments were very much agreed upon by many.
One netizen shared that every time they watch music shows. Lately, they only give out a long sigh due to the obvious fact that these groups only reused concepts from other popular K-Pop boy groups, as well as only releasing the same type of songs every single time. When they shout at the top of their lungs, that part has also become too familiar with these groups.
The netizen also continued with their observation, saying that these groups have the knack of adding English words like "Baby tonight" in almost all of their songs which has become too repetitive regardless of which group that would be. It is understandable that people aim to be the next Jungkook, V, Kai, or G-Dragon. However, if they really want to stand out from the rest, these record labels should at least make more effort into their groups and not just pick any handsome boy the find and train.
Other users express that the secret to having a successful K-pop group is uniqueness. Their songs should have a different flavor, and it should be something that K-pop would immediately distinguish from the rest. The other main concern is that these groups look like they don't have teamwork or harmony when they perform on stage. It's like they are just flexing their own heartthrob image and only thinking of themselves and thinking of their entire group performance as a whole.
Regardless of whether people agree to these discussions, the similarities of these "rookie groups" are evident on the surface. Hopefully, this would change in the coming years.
