The survey, which had a sample size of 500 individuals, required participants to name the K-Pop girl groups they perceived as the least talented. BABYMONSTER garnered the most votes with a total of 166, leading to the controversial label given by the Japanese respondents.
Some of the comments from the participants in the poll were published in the magazine.
To her, they all appeared indistinguishable and failed to make a unique impression, blending in with the rest of the crowd.
According to a female civil servant in her 30s, their dance performances lack synchronization.
– In comparison to other groups, teenage girls who are students do not possess the same level of appeal.
Despite receiving 79 votes, aespa came in second and was criticized for lacking uniqueness. In third place was LE SSERAFIM with 60 votes, with the main criticism being “excessive lip-syncing.”
Despite the poll results, which left many K-Pop fans puzzled, these groups continue to maintain their popularity both in Korea and internationally.
There were speculations among fans that the poll could be influenced by the “strong”concepts frequently embraced by these groups, which may not necessarily align with the preferences of the Japanese audience.
Feedback from supporters included:
– In my opinion, the focus is more on the concepts rather than live singing. There are individuals who simply do not appreciate their styles.
Perhaps the reason why BABYMONSTER, aespa and LE SSERAFIM are not as popular in Japan is because their music styles differ and do not connect as strongly with the audience there.
– What? Both BABYMONSTER and aespa possess immense talent!
– This must be a joke.
The outcomes of the poll have incited significant conversation among enthusiasts, who persistently convey their astonishment and bewilderment. What are your thoughts on these rankings?
