Why is Rainbow struggling to obtain popularity?

Article: The problem with Rainbow is their song!

1. [+1,672, -13] A was okay but everything after that was mediocre

2. [+1,515, -58] I think it's their talent that's the problem. They don't have a strong vocal line and it's not like their dancing is any better either. They're not this or that.

3. [+1,012, -14] I feel like DSP put Rainbow in a bad spot. A and Mach were songs that definitely could've shot them up but their coordi and visual concepts just didn't live up to the song quality. They have decent songs, just that the members don't have anything that helps them stand out since they all look the same, have the same clothes, same hair... And when they were on the rise with Sweetune songs, DSP shipped them over to Japan, which didn't end up going all that well either. Then they randomly pull out Daishi Dance for their Korean comeback... To Me and Sweet Dream were decent songs but not enough or what they needed ㅠ People wanted another A or Mach... and then again, another random cute concept ㅠ Not a Rainbow fan but I do like them and it's disappointing to see them up in the air like this.

4. [+945, -63] I like their songs... just not their concepts.

5. [+218, -29] I feel like Rainbow, Nine Muses, and Dal Shabet look like they could do well but they never do.

6. [+173, -11] I'd say A was a daebak track that could've all killed girl groups but they didn't do much with it... All things considered, I wouldn't expect anything more from them anymore.

7. [+163, -6] A's concept was so poorly planned. They put all seven members in the same black haired pony tails. Go Woori didn't even stand out until their next comeback and I realized what a pretty member she actually was.

8. [+163, -6] Loved A and Mach, but their concepts after that were awkward innocent types... Rainbow should've pushed the sexy concept and left the cute concepts to KARA.

9. [+135, -3] Specifically, they never had a concept that fit their song. Their songs have been alright since Mach but they never had a style that was distinctly theirs. I really want them to do well and find their own image.

10. [+124, -10] For an idol song, I thought Mach was pretty up there in terms of quality.

11. [+119, -8] I'd say it's too late for them... They lost the time to win #1 or hit their peak.

12. [+106, -9] Honestly speaking, they're visually prettier than KARA -_-;; It's weird to me how A Pink and Crayon Pop can get popular but not Rainbow;; It's not like their songs are bad either;;

13. [+100, -3] They need a song like SISTAR's and I think they could do well

14. [+96, -4] They're in an awkward spot... Not innocent, not sexy, not cute, no outstanding members... but they're not exactly nugu either since we've at least heard of their name.

15. [+91, -5] Jaekyung was considered the group's one top but didn't receive the support she needed because the company looked like they were deciding between Jaekyung and Woori to market as the group's one top.
