Like, idk its not like each plays an instrument or several instruments they all sing right? So like... why? @ZombieAphrodite i think u can answer me maybe it's just 2 more than for example one direction... 7 members really isn't that big and IMO about the cut-off point. There's groups like seventeen with 13 members. so to me it's more like a "why not?" bands and groups are 2 different things. and yeah more "relatability rate" so to speak Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A member sometimes leaves the group. Or they get sick and can't perform so the rest of the group still does the performance. Like Shinee did a music video without jonghyun because he was in a car accident and had surgery. And now they're still making music as 4 now that he's passed. Like if twenty one pilots lost a member...they'd be done. They wouldn't make music anymore lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well any music is business if you're under a label. Unless you do all the work yourself (literally all not just write and produce the songs) music = business. And yeah Kpop is a big business. There are years of calculated training usually going on before any of the members of a group debut. that's how they get all synced up and learn how to sing and dance at the same time etc. Usually groups also have to first pay back any money that was put into their debut before they earn anything (not a problem with BTS obviously lol but smaller groups who never have their big break may even be stuck with debt after disbanding) There is a pretty interesting documentary about the not so pretty sides of the business if you're interested to see more of what goes into the debut of a group.

That's like saying stop trying to make Taylor swift happen. She already famous here. As is BTS. Kpop is becoming big here. Sorry if you don't like it. I don't like Taylor swift but I don't go in threads and say things like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
