Summary: A Pink will be debuting in Japan with their single “No No No”. While the big fandoms of acts like KARA and SNSD are already known, the problem with Japan is that they are struggling to bring on new fans. The issue is that the popularity of K-POP in Japan has decreased. If A-pink succeeds in Japan, you can view them as the new, second generation of K-POP in Japan.

1. [+2,083, -156] Even if they don’t succeed in Japan, A Pink will be A Pink. Today is Gwangbokjeol. Let’s all raise our flags. Today is meant to be a celebration of our nation gaining independence from Japan, we should be celebrating our self-government.

2. [+1,812, -233] I’m an A Pink fan, but I just hope they don’t become like KARA. I can’t tell if KARA is a Korean girl group or a Japanese girl group..

3. [+1,631, -296] They’re going to need a lot more time if they want to break Soshi’s records

4. [+1,511, -289] But still, comparing them to Soshi and KARA is a bit…. There’s a reason SNSD is SNSD

5. [+1,095, -574] I’m saying this as someone who’s lived in Japan for over 7 years.. Once Naeun comes over to Japan, it’s game over for everyone else.. Japan is going to be shocked by her visuals

6. [+235, -35] It’s going to be difficult beating Soshi and KARA. Soshi is really a wall you can’t climb over, they’re already so high up in Japan.. A Pink should just continue in Korea and not go to Japan

7. [+232, -42] Hmm.. will they..? The reason SNSD was able to rise in Japan was because of SM. But A Pink’s agency doesn’t have the same power as SM

8. [+220, -53] What kind of bull are you talking about ㅋㅋㅋ They might be popular in Korea, but in Japan? ㅋㅋ Do you think SNSD and KARA got their popularity in Japan with ease?

9. [+195, -46] ㅋㅋㅋ Honestly, there is the fact that because Soshi is Soshi, that they managed to do so well, but their songs are also really good in Japan. Is A Pink going to release songs in Japan with that quality? Soshi didn’t just get popular in Japan because of their faces ㅋㅋㅋ It was because they also had good songs

10. [+158, -12] I’m a Pink Panda, but they’re still lacking a lot to be compared to Soshi…
