Considering this text: “Essentially this. NAME_1 has realized that NAME_2’s popularity in Korea has pretty much peaked and so there’s very little point in throwing more money and time to market them further in Korea because at this point, you are either a fan or you are not and there’s not much that is going to change that.

So instead, NAME_1 has decided to heavily push NAME_2 in Western markets like Europe and the US. These are areas where there’s still a massive untapped market and where NAME_1’s time and money can lead to exponential growth for NAME_2. While IVE, New Jeans, LSF, and Aespa dominate among girl groups in Korea, NAME_2 is more popular than they are in the West.

There’s also a lot more money to be made from touring outside of Korea for NAME_2. NAME_2 didn’t sell out KSPO dome for either day, with about 500 out of roughly 9000 seats still available for each day. That means they sold roughly 17-18,000 seats for 2 days in Korea.

Contrast that to 50,000+ stadiums in Japan and the US, with them being able to charger higher prices for US stops. One show in the US is the equivalent of 6-7 shows in Korea. Even the smallest stops in the US are still NAME_2 the size of KSPO and they are all sold out. Same goes for Europe.

NAME_2 isn’t losing popularity in Korea, NAME_1 has just realized there’s not much of an untapped market for NAME_2 fans in Korea at this point and so their time and money is better spent investing in tapping into the enormous western market. If $1 million invested can only get about $1.5 million return on investment in Korea versus $5 million in the West, NAME_1 is going to naturally follow the money.

It works.”
