1. [+174, -11] DSP really should've pushed them harder during 'A', that was their prime chance to get popular -.-...........

2. [+134, -18] I feel like Rainbow is good enough where they're at now, especially considering all the nobody groups that are out right now

3. [+116, -24] I think it's because they all have pretty faces but there's nothing unique about any of them... They all kind of blend in together in the back  ㅡㅡ

4. [+27, -2] They have a lot of decent songs, just that they don't have that one member that you need to really lead the group as the face. The industry is not a place where you get popular with talent alone.

SNSD first pushed Yoona to gain attention and then gave spotlight to each of the other members in turn. 4minute was raised by hyuna but Gayoon, Sohyun, and Jihyun somewhat gained their individual recognition thanks to her help as well. The Wonder Girls started off with Sohee and Sunye before the other members naturally gained recognition...

and Suzy really helped propel miss A as their face. KARA's different because Seungyeon worked her butt off to get the group to where they are now but it's a pity because Hara is the one getting all the popularity at the moment ㅋㅋ Either way, Gyuri has decent public recognition and the group itself is quite popular.

When you think of Rainbow, however... you don't really think of anyone in particular.

5. [+27, -5] I think they're quite popular with soldiers/the army though. I remember in 2009 or 2010, 'A' was wildly popular in the army.
