1. [+6,658, -410] In the end, it's all about having skills. Look at Mamamoo and EXID, they got famous but they already have a base skill level to back it up.

2. [+5,268, -195] It's just how the world is, you don't need effort or anything but just luck and a hit track. The end.

3. [+3,262, -238] The journalist seems detached from reality. You don't need 'identities'. You just need a strong company to use their power to get you on TV shows, bribe journalists to media play as if your group is a trend, and there's your formula to becoming the nation's trending girl group. And to take it a step further, you can be like a certain A group and media play a member as if she looks like another popular girl group member named S when she doesn't even look like her at all and get your name out there that way... there are tons of options, but media play is one thing that you can't get popular without unless your song is the biggest hit song of the decade. These 'identities' are meaningless ㅋㅋ

4. [+1,741, -1,060] April really does look so young ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Cute

5. [+300, -25] Back then, girl groups would try to make it work for about a year at the longest before calling it quits and doing other things but with some groups taking 2-3 years to finally hit the spotlight, more groups are starting to see hope and stretching out the torture too.

6. [+268, -23] SM probably has the biggest success. rate. You can get into senior events and SM just hits every corner of the media with their media play so you'd have to be really bad to not get popular under them ㅋㅋㅋ the problem is that it's just as hard to get into SM. Doesn't matter how good you are at singing, you don't stand a chance if you're not handsome or pretty.

7. [+190, -6] You just need to be under SM or YG to get popular. Just getting in is the hard part.

8. [+234, -49] myB's concept looks like Red Velvet's

9. [+197, -14] myB's concept is such a copy. All blonde hair and that skirt and sweater.

10. [+177, -5] It's all up to how powerful your company is in the end. Getting a hit track is up to luck... what's funny is that there are lots of groups with good songs and strong fandoms but they never see the spotlight because their agency doesn't support them... There are nugu groups like this who get articles out there but having your own bias group get an article in the media is as hard as picking a star out of the sky...

11. [+151, -12] I feel bad for girl groups. I saw Jo Young Nam and Lee Kyung Kyu visit girl group waiting rooms and you could see them forcing themselves to smile and react cutely to everything. They have to constantly look bright and outgoing and it's hard to watch.

12. [+136, -17] Mamamoo's a good example of a group that naturally got popular because all of the members are talented

13. [+136, -21] Honestly, none of these four groups look like they have a chance at being successful

14. [+96, -2] If you want to be popular as an idol, it doesn't matter what tactics you use... just focus on getting into a big agency.

15. [+149, -60] To all the girl groups, please survive. It's going to be hard of course but you might have a chance at stardom like Hyeri.
