Do you think people would like Super M?

Not everyone is going to pay attention to it. And we'll most likely bash it, people are not used to seeing guys dancing on stage wearing layers of makeup while having a 'soft' persona. Although their fans would most probably like it, since the group consists of various members from different groups.</div> </div> </div> </div></div>

i think people who already like kpop will like superm just fine. i've heard some exo-ls and some nctzens aren't especially happy (havent heard much from shawols) but no doubt they'll buy the albums and support their faves just the same.

as for the american public...definitely hard to say. you bring up good points. i think its likely that there will be media outlets that won't take them seriously since they're a boy band, particularly a boy band of asian foreigners. they will almost definitely garner comparisons with bts, and like bts i suspect the focus will be more on the fans than the group. its always seemed to me that boy bands (and girl groups) in general tend to be viewed with some amount of derision by the general public.

i think its definitely gonna depend on how sm decides to market them. american tastes are different from korean tastes. we'll have to wait and see. but as far as financially, i think superm will do just fine.

I agree with both opinions, I just want to add that people will probably make fun of the name Superm, like they already do and sperm haven't debuted yet

the self control and awareness i had to exert to not accidentally write sperm in my post was unreal... on twitter i see them called sperm EXCLUSIVELY along with a slew of related jokes, but i think that's pretty normal. i remember with itzy started releasing debut teasers and people on twitter were clowning their name too.

I think that ITZY's name is meant to be like that, while sperm's wasn't really thought of

 

[Yifan]

I don't know about other people, but I'm gonna like it

 

[Louise]

Maybe some won't like the idea at first but maybe they will have a change of heart and like them in the end And also I like them already

 

[XionMinho]

I hadn’t even thought about the name looking like sperm lol. And I don’t think they’ll do amazing in America and stuff bc most kpop groups aren’t taken seriously. The majority of people I know think it’s like gay or something

Haha! What I was actually going to say!

Kpop is legit inspired by Western/American music. So I can't really say they have different tastes.</div>

[Disregarded]

They are also overworking Taeyong, I forgot, is Mark is SuperM too?

True though, the only people that'll support them would be their fans or people looking for clout.

Mark and TY are gonna have their 5th debuts, like
But it's always like that - only supporters are fans and clout seekers.
I just hope that they won't get as much hate as Superm gets rn

 

[Yifan]

I'm not sure whether Mark can handle this... I mean he has the vibe of an Idol and talented and all but he has his limits. Can a human being be this busy? Idols hardly manage activities in one group, but how can Mark deal activities of all these groups??? Hope he will be alright...

 

[nobodycares]

i think when one of the members of super M is your bias you cant not like it. hehe

 

[nobodycares]

I like the idea of it HOWEVER SM is overworking my WAYV bois Ten and Lucas.

thats true. i think a lot of People say that they are kpop fan but i reallity the are BTS or BP fans. it's okey to be an bts fan but you cant say then that you are a kpop fan.

 

[Elina xi]

I hope people support them

 

[nobodycares]

I hope people support them

same uwu
