    I really wish co-Ed wasn’t a “scandal”. KARD has such a good discography and the fact that they have a wide verse of ranges makes it that much better.

      Honestly, I don't care what gender somebody is. The groups I stan are BTS, TWICE and Weeekly, one boy group and two girl groups. There are several groups I'm not a fan of, but like anyways, and they are either boys or girls too. I'm not opposed to mixed genders groups, but boy and girl groups are just much more common and there are more choices for me.

    I think KARD would have been more successful if their label promoted them more locally over the years. Based on the first audience of Good Girl, only the idols who promoted with KARD knew who they were but the average person didn't. I'm wondering if Checkmate will focus on attracting fans locally first or will they first aim at attracting international fans then Koreans.

    • @workyworky5925
      @workyworky5925 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      If the company focused on getting them known locally instead of grasping for the popularity they were getting internationally, they probably would have ended like the rest of Co-Ed groups. Now that they're popular they can focus on getting themselves settled in Korea as well. But otherwise they might have struggled a lot and disbanded since their songs aren't excatly korea-friendly. I hope Checkmate have a better chance at getting both the attention of the Korean public and the international fans. I'm really excited for them

A lot of Korean fans are still not as opened to idols dating so they don't want their faves anywhere near the opposite gender. You can never really predict what's going to blow up and what not. iKon is not the typical k-pop idol group but they went HUUUUGEEE with Love Scenario out of the blue. no one expected it. KARD members had korea-based projects. But they didn't do well enough to drop the international promotions to come back and promote in Korea. All the members want to promote more in Korea as well. I hope they get the chance. They deserve a lot more love TT But i get the company, they're promoting them where they're wanted. And again with ikon, they barely got any korean promotions, they were in Japan almost all the time. But somehow Love Scenario is still one of the most legendary songs in korea. I'm waiting for that blow-up from Kard as well TT

    Also, co-eds are perfect for people who prefer platonic relationships/ role models with different genders.
    From the girls group = role models and boys group = objects of desire fantasies, I feel like, through that train of thought, co-ed groups would be the perfect fit for people who prefer platonic relationships and would rather imagine themselves being friends with these people and appreciating their talents or would like a role model regardless of gender, among others that don’t fit into these target niches. Plus, they’re just plain amazing.

      @cicek5827 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@pinksus5528 That's not the problem. There is nothing wrong with the guys being "only" rappers. Coed groups have to find a suitable key for both genders in a song. The pitch has to flatter both genders voices and that's really hard to do. Females voices are generally higher and males lower, so that's why most producers don't want to make the extra effort and choose the easy way out by only producing for boy/girlgroups.
      Kard said that most producers don't want to work with them and that's why it takes them longer to do a cameback. That is the reason why Kards BM has begun to make music for his own group and he's damn good at it. Proven by his solos, kards last comeback gunshot and some of their previous songs.

      BM has already said that the group may disband soon due to the financial situation of their company, and their most recent comeback would be their last. There's a high chance that they may have to leave their company and there's an even lower chance that they will all be able to sign on to the same company. So no, they are not very much not together in that sense. BM is continuing with his podcast in America, Somin has her own TH-cam channel where she gets sponsorships and jiwoo just colaunched a makeup line/set. They recently had a sportswear & a traditional clothing sponsorship for social but that might not be enough to get their company out of their financial rut and keep them together.

    Honestly co-ed groups would thrive if people were mature especially knetz. Just because a group is made up of both male and female doesn’t mean they will end up dating🙄. In the end co-ed groups see each other as siblings or friends. I honestly hope that in this generation co-ed groups get given a chance. Also the media especially kmedia needs to stop making up these stories about “rumors” of members “dating” because when they do that shit they make the people believe that there is something going on when in reality there isn’t.

AKMU has some of the best songs in the entire industry, and has one of the chillest fanbases in all of Kpop, because you know people are there for the music and not the fantasy of having a boyfriend or girlfriend. 1, they're brother and sister, and 2, they don't meet the conventional Korean beauty standards, so they can just focus on creating good content without having to worry about "offending" overly-obsessed fans or getting accused of dating each other. I wish more companies would follow suit and focus on the content rather than selling some kind of unobtainable fantasy to fans; that way, the possibility of scandals would be mitigated, and there would also be less possibility of attracting sasaengs. Good music is good music, regardless of where it comes from, and I think co-ed groups are a gigantic untapped well of potential that more companies need to take advantage of. And honestly, who cares if some of the members start to date as long as they can keep it professional and create good content?

    Kpop seriously NEEDS way more co-ed groups and them to be successful in Korea. It would be great for that big portion of kpop fans that must grow up and stop being immature and embarassing by randomly shipping idols for every single sort of male-female interaction they see and spreading rumors🤦‍♀️

  • @9xprincess

    I think there is a big difference between a pop/indie/hip hop groups and a idol group. Idols are pop dance focused groups that prioritize forming parasocial relationships with a young fandom over traditional focuses on musicality, vocal performance, lyricism and targeting the public. Kpop idols also usually form these bonds in gendered and gendered stereotypical ways. SHARP I'm not sure was a idol group as the "idol" wasn't as a solid concept, but they were a pop act. There scandal was not them being mixed gender but the bullying by one female member to another. Roo'ra wasn't a pop group but a hip hop dance group. Their scandals had to do with plagiarism and not them being co-ed. AKMU is not a idol group, their a folk pop duo that emphasize on the qualities I listed above which idols do not. There are also quit a few popular non-idol coed groups in S. Korea that are mainly indie pop like Urban Zakapa & Clazziquai Project. I-fans may not know more about them bec they really just listen to idol music, a few hip/rnb acts, and the occasional indie pop acts like Blob4 or AKMU who make it to them. Frankly coed groups have found mainstream success in SK across genres since the 90's. I don't see a lack of them more then in other markets. The real issue are modern kpop coed idol groups.
    KARD is a good example of the issues a coed idol group might face. On the one hand they have to build new parasocial dynamics with kpop fans that have a big potential to fail. On the other Koreans who don't focus on parasocial relations in music are a potential audience but probably won't give them a chance because of the stigmas surrounding the musicianship of idol because of focuses on fandoms and stereotypes. Gaining the general public could be another way if a following is not easy to find. But the company either has to be big enough or inspired enough to reach the general audience. DSP is neither.

    @EmiIy7662 3 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Checkmate seems promising but I am slightly salty about the similarity with Kard, it is just too close to be a coincidence. I mean a game of cards and a game of chess, plus we have also seen Kard use chess in their mvs (I am well aware that it is not exclusive to Kard) but the concept, styling and vibe of the mv/song is just too close to go unnoticed. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, most debuting groups have a similar concept to another and usually they venture out in another style that suits their personality more.

    • @valesoma4611
      @valesoma4611 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You read my mind, I was thinking the exact same thing! Haha.
      Now, I may be a bit biased since I've been stanning KARD since You & Me era. Checkmate's song was good, but I was just a bit thrown off about the chess thing (Checkmate) / Card thing (KARD). Apart from the fact that, I personally felt their style was a bit alike to KARD's. Now, I'm also gonna give them the benefit of the doubt, since they just started and ofc they probably aren't the ones choosing what to do.
      Their debut song wasn't my favorite, but I really hope they can get by, being a co-ed is hard in SK.
      Anuway, hope coed groups can be a bit more accepted, and the stigma is forgotten :)

    • @lrose1310
      @lrose1310 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      They definitely have that exact same house sound, but I think you're reaching a bit with some of the other stuff like Cards vs. Chess. Even if the name was inspired by Kard's "game theme" name, it is still completely different. I do agree the styling is similar, but this styling has been popular in kpop for a while now, so it just seems like they're following mainstream styling. Same with music video concept being pretty mainstream in kpop.

I hope they get more experimental and use the voices more mixed up, (I want to hear some harmonies as well).

    Honestly, I can see Co-Ed groups making it. Absolutely. The only thing that’s really stopping them are the traditional definitions of masculinity and femininity, which make it hard for companies to market groups. As long as the/every group has chemistry, grip to their artistry, control over their music and passion, they can make music, or even hits. I think the more we bind idols/people to our concepts of gender, it’s going to restrict them from ever being human and expressing themselves the way they want to.
    And shippers who want to sexualise every man and woman who come in contact with each other. Especially them.

    It feels like such a childish reason to not have more coed groups like "oh no! if we leave boys and girls together in the same building they are going to kiss! that's horrible!" i mean first of all, gay people exist, karen, there must be a good portion of idols who are lgbt and date with people from other groups or even with people from their same group without us knowing, second of all not just because a girl and a boy have to work together it means they HAVE to like eachother romantically, i mean, most of us spend 12+ in school surrounded by other people and we don't go around kissing everyone just bc they're "there", and third... what about it ? i know every country has its own "rules" and habits but maybe it's time to stop seeing two people date as a huge scandal, it's not a scandal is basically how nature works

So far there's no such thing as 'disbanding' KARD. I think what got people saying that was because it was said that this recent comeback would be their last as a group, but what they meant was it'd be last as a group because J.seph was going to enlist. It was all a misunderstanding. I was scared too hehe. Until either member or their company says 'KARD will be no more', let's keep supporting them and hope they're more known in Korea.

I'm mixed on if that's the case. Kard I like. Checkmate, who disbanded but days ago, I enjoyed, but I thought had some things right and some things off. I think they failed to work with the two genders. The guys had no distinct look, but the girls did, while the dancing didn't utilize the two genders. Others who come to mind like 777, Triple H, and you could even include HyunA & Dawn, didn't do much for me musically. I think the issue is the "racy choreography" ... um, its boys and girls together, that is what we want!

    Checkmate already has a big potential fanbase outside South Korea, but I fear the pandemic can trouble them with world tours and stuff. I think their song is more fitting of the Korean audience than Kard (to quote PD from Form of Therapy "Kard produces songs that only fit Kard, Checkmate's "Drum" could be done by either a boy or a girl group") so I believe they can get a good enough popularity if the promotion is done right.
    Also, on a side note, since Mnet loves to spit out one survival show after another, it wouldn't be bad if they did one with a co-ed group. What more can they lose? It's acceptable to have bad press on altered voting but not on possible romance? /s

    Something that also needs to e taken into consideration is when you keep sexes separate, it's easier to let sexism flourish. The kpop industry thrives on sexism and relies heavily on gender roles, so when you blur the line between what concepts a male can do and what concepts a female can do, not only does it tear down some of those barriers keeping women and men unequal, but it allows gender roles and sex to come in question in general.
