Appreciation Im surprised how little Japanese & China+ idols there is [boys] (1 Viewer)

[JJbaker]

I have prob missed some...
{tell me who if they are still active}

but male idols who are still active within korea
and main focus is somehow a kpop group

[aka wayv is a cpop group not kpop]
[superm is still kpop even though promotes in America]


Chinese - Taiwanese - Thai

Japanese

and why should they prefer to be active in Korea instead of their own countries? sure, maybe cpop is not as popular for Westerners as kpop but within China it is?

some of them might've started training earlier
cpop isn't that big either tbh, tfboys are basically the only relevant ones that gp acknowledges, the rest are just seen as liuliangyiren, stars that bring traffic but not much else

... didnt say they should but
there is millions of kids who do apply from over seas...
and dont debut so it not like they dont want to be in kpop it more that korean companies arent debuting them
and than trying to promote without Japanese kids in japan etc

Name a few trainees:
Tony from FNC would of debutted with P1Harmony [Canadian- Chinese]
got dropped now is on youth with you season 2 ranking 1st place... but wanted to be in a kpop group

Enhypen was meant to be a mixed group but the show was so heavily edited for the koreans...
1 Japanese member out of 7 Koreans [yes some are korean american etc]
4 others didnt make it and 1 other korean U.S mixed didnt make it either

I just thought there would be more and just surprised there isnt..

Like when straykid's debuted i thought there line up would of been like Twice's due to how well it help them promote everywhere
plus out of the 22 i mentioned 7 are all from NCT a worldwide focused group and 4 from treasure what was meant to be a split group with half only promoting within japan

I mean, SM love debuting Chinese idols, they just mistreat them horribly and they end up leaving...
