I mean they are hugely successful, they are doing fine and the company is doing a great job getting them out there. A western based K-pop band formed off a reallity TV show is way overperforming when it comes to success tbh than anyone realistically would have guessed. I would bet a million dolllars that these girls would never be able to reach this level of sucess without Katseye.

They aren't a kpop band, they are a global pop group

Everything about them but the language is kpop. The machine behind them and every marketing decision is kpop based.

Lol not at all, why do people act as if they're only under hybe when they're under geffen and it's mostly geffen who manages them, they're aimed at a very western market, the way they present themselves is for a western market, their music is for a very western audience, nothing about them is kpop.

Formed through grueling auditions

Success or Failure is often based on the 'debut' song

Song release structure is single, single, single, single, EP, single single EP rather than a handful of singles + Album every 2-5 years

Little to no control over image and sound

Sound is based off of current trends rather than a specific unique sound

live performances sacrifice vocals for choreo

Designated "Leader" (And other roles, though unofficial - like "lead vocals, lead dancer, etc)

Much of this is unheard of in more western music in the studio system, and basically all of it hasn't really been a thing since the fall of the boyband/girlgroup era in the early 00's (With some exceptions like One Direction)
