    Should Vernalossom just stop debuting more foreign groups? This might anger some people, but all of them are failing, except maybe BNK48 and TEAM SH that are successful. All others are struggling and closer to disbandement.

    The sound of JPOP isn't popular in the SEA countries. There, Kpop still dominates.

    K-pop is shite, though, that's the fundamental difference. And it only dominates because of the preponderance of unsophisticated lowest common denominator imbeciles who like skinny, botoxed, hypersexual, anaemic-looking women with their plastic tits hanging out don't have the sense to realise it's fahking trash.

    ^ yikes at the above comment. What do you really think about kpop?

    To the OP I may be wrong but it seems that mnl48 and jkt48 both have a vibrant fanbase in their countries.

    I mean they definitely have dedicated fanbases. But like the Japanese groups nowadays, they have very very little popularity outside of their hardcore fanbase, and aren’t that relevant with the general public nowadays.

    MNL is still early in their career so they have time and JKT already had a brief stint of being super popular so they’re fine too. Plus they are in countries where Kpop is huge, so the idea of a “idol group” doesn’t match what the 48g is putting out. None of the international sister groups are actually “failures”

    The topic is badly formulated IMO.
    The real question is are they profitable enough ?
    Not if they can keep up with Kpop.

    It's up to their respective companies to decide.
    After all their existence is the result of an agreement between Vernalossom and their companies

    The way that you constructing your questions is a bit weird since they had stop debuting any group and it is not like they had announced any new international sister group for the time being.

    We may argue that Vernalossom should not added any new group since the number of international sister is enough but suddenly you talked about SEA insinuating that impossibility of international sister group in SEA since in SEA KPop is dominated. It is sound weird since the international group that you mentioned as successful is in SEA region (BNK48). JKT48 is 7 years of idol group. Even some KPop girl group will not survive that long or decline around that time.

    BNK48 and JKT48 located in major countries in SEA. The prospect of other international sister group in SEA is slim not because KPop, it is because the economic power of the people to sustain 48G type idol in particular countries. Just see where the base of all 48G. It is located in the major city. Just see below. In the top 10, 6 cities have 48G/48 based group there.

    You could correlate the emerging economy of a country to the presence of a 48 group, the elite idols of Asia.
