the problem here is that 1. they debuted right before kpop started becoming oversaturated with groups. This let them establish a big enough fandom but not so big as dbsk or suju or bb who debuted much before that. on top of that at the time when they debuted they were pm just awkward teenage boys who seemingly had no personality. 2. they have not had any big hits like b2st allowing them to garner a wider audience 3. They do a hell lot less fan service compared to a lot of other boybands and their group dynamic just isn't as loudly affectionate as others. this can add a lot to a fanbase. fangirls are interested when they can ship something. and 4. they don't promote endlessly infinite and bap even used to promote a lot a lot a lot this has allowed even bap who debuted last year to establish a viable fanbase


u make a lot of good points. if shinee had everything in this list they'd prolly be pretty popular rn. did b2sts hit do better than rdd?

i think fiction did better than rdd. but imo most of their popularity stemmed from korea's love for doojoon, kikwang, and yoseob.

i don't get what's so great about yoseob unless we're taking into account the fact that nearly anyone can carry a yoseob around on the ends of their pencils

he's good at variety and is pretty down to earth ig.i mean ngl his predebut stories made me want to root for him.

idt shinee has any problems with the fanbase tho, they sell a lot and have successful concerts

the problem is digitally but then dream girl stayed in top 10 for weeks so at least it got better lol ;;

unnirs probably know what's going on and are kicking it up lmao

IT'S OKAY ANONS. lets all kick ass with this chapter 2 shit and get it going

(Anonymous) 2013-04-22 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
idt it was just beast's songs that got them fans, iirc a lot ex-2pm stans switched to that fandom during the jay scandal
and a lot of shinee fans switched to infinite during their japan debut

so it's not always about talent, songs or popularity that gets them lots of fans, just good timing

lets hope chapter 2 is full of good timing then
