Why I rarely answer your requests about rookie idol groups
 |
K-Pop takes up maybe 20-30% of netizen interest in the entire entertainment industry. The rest are other senior artists, established idol groups, scandals, actors/actresses, dramas, etc. I think it's hard to see that K-Pop doesn't make up the entirety of the industry because as K-Pop fans, K-Pop is all we really see.
Unless said idol is in a scandal or has made an unusual achievement, netizens don't care. It's actually rare to see idol-related news in the top 30, which is why I only update 3-4 times a day unless separate, specific requests are made.
This lack of interest is tripled when it comes to rookies. You will know that B.A.P. is constantly in the headlines with allkpop, at least once or twice a week at minimum, but no one cares about them outside of the Baby fanbase. It's the same case for all of the other rookie idols you guys request (AoA, 15&, etc...)
I think you can see why companies resort to paying out to get their articles up there since it won't otherwise get there on its own.
Anyway, these are just the top 30 ranks for a random selection of days to give you an idea of what I'm working with. You can click the dates to get a link to check the articles for yourself (I won't take requests from these because they're outdated).

And so on and so forth... I would like to make this a regular thing day by day but realistically I already can't keep up with the idols that do make it to the top 30 on top of regular requests so daily ranking posts will have to be postponed until vacation or some other time. You can always check the rankings yourself.
