Korean boy groups were once the main force of K-POP, but in recent years, the momentum of girl groups has obviously surpassed that of boy groups. Regardless of the popularity of songs or the popularity of members, there is a trend of catching up from behind. The reason is that some people think that being a boy group has become “CP option with a very low value”.
According to Korean media, the person in charge of newcomer development at a large K-POP planning agency said with emotion that the ratio of male to female trainees recently recruited reached 1:9, that is, only 1 boy signed up for 9 girls. With popular girl groups such as New Jeans and IVE gaining attention, many girls became trainees with longing information, while the number of male trainees decreased drastically. The person in charge believes: “There are more ways for YouTubers and Internet celebrities to show their personal talents, and it is difficult to persuade them to carry out long and hard training.”
Another Korean netizen analyzed the four reasons why young and handsome boys don’t want to be idols. One is that if they want to be famous on TV, it might be faster to appear in a love reality show. For example, after Xian Kui starred in “Transfer Love 2″became popular, commercial endorsements, award ceremonies, and magazine photo shoots followed one after another; DEX also became famous with “Single is Hell 2”, and was recognized by local passers-by when he went to India to record shows.
The second reason is that there is certain music that I want to make. From the standpoint of boys, I don’t give priority to the music genre of male idols. “Show Me The Money 11″opened for registration in August last year, and the number of participants exceeded 30,000 within 2 days, setting a new record.
The third reason is that if you want to earn a lot of money and be loved by girls, you don’t need to work hard to sing and dance or do cp business with your teammates. You can achieve the same effect as a YouTuber. One of the examples is “봇노잼”, whose live broadcast content is only K-books and became popular purely because of his appearance and temperament. Now his YouTube channel has 397,000 subscribers, and his IG has nearly 140,000 fans.
The fourth reason is that if you are talented and want to make money, and at the same time want to have a romantic relationship without being disturbed in your private life, posting some 30-second short videos on TikTok is enough.
To sum up: For a handsome guy, being an idol requires hard training in singing and dancing, but also endures group life and the risk of private life being violated. You can’t fall in love freely, you can’t smoke and drink, and you have to be careful even on SNS. It’s really CP Options with very low values.
For this analysis, many Korean netizens agreed: “I don’t want to be an idol if I change it.”La””There are few beautiful men, and there are even fewer beautiful men who work hard””So I’m really grateful that my Oppa became an idol””The choreography of boy groups is getting more and more difficult, and the popularity is declining, which is also one of the reasons.””Those who will become trainees should really love singing and dancing.””Being a trainee is like entering the third year of high school with no end in the early 10s. If you find other paths that are not so hard, of course you don’t want to take this one.””Actor Also, the younger the generation, the more…””Girls will look forward to girl groups and want to be them, but boys seem to seldom look forward to boy groups…””Girls in elementary schools dance in the classrooms of girl groups, while boys Running out to play football, I feel like I didn’t pay attention at all.” “Anyway, ordinary-looking people can dress up and make a debut. From the standpoint of 10th-generation boys, they are not dreaming objects, so no one wants to do it.”
