The crazy pursuit of pop idol boy band

Let’s first exclude Japan, which has long cultivated complete idol groups, and the Korean idol groups that have created a global trend in recent years. The idol groups of these two countries not only have complete training and are strong, but they have also branched out in different fields. Opportunities for career development in the entertainment industry can be said to be the two strongest in Asia.

This time, I just want to see with you how the idol boy groups in the pop music scene in other Asian countries are developing. After all, pop idols are the bulk of the pop market. They not only reveal the characteristics of a country's pop culture, but are also the biggest source of vitality for the "idol" economy.

Although there have been idol groups in Taiwan that are extremely powerful and can stir up chaos in Asia, Taiwan's pop market is already relatively small, and the funds are not abundant. It is not easy to create an idol group with the momentum of Japan and South Korea. Of course Taiwan has never given up on the market in this field. Even if some people say that the current idol groups in Taiwan are not strong enough, it is quite interesting to listen to the idol groups from Asia. Each place has its own distinct characteristics.

1 U:NUS-A Town

The Taiwanese boy group is a Korean-style group with heavy makeup. Sometimes I feel that these Taiwanese idol boy groups are not that "energetic" and they can't dance freely. Although they all have good looks, in order to gain a foothold in the music industry, their ability must be seen. I chose this group because the music sounds more like international pop elements, but the songs need to be more "powerful".

2 OVA-Supernova

Malaysian boy band. Their songs are a very popular element among Asian idol groups in recent years. There are good singers in the team, but there are also more powerful rappers, which allows them to appear with a more hip-hop and gang-style image, a bit bad boy. The setting is quite attractive. Moreover, the choreography is good, and there are many luxurious props in the MV. The idol boy band just needs more money to build momentum!

3 SB19 - GENTO

Idol boy band from the Philippines. From the strength and appearance of each member to the group style and music production, everything is excellent. It was because of discovering them that I wanted to write this article. Only with such a level can one truly catch up with Korean groups. In recent years, I have discovered The Philippines is not weak in either drama or music.

4 NEVEL - NUMBER ONE

This male puppet troupe from Indonesia may be a little inferior in appearance, but its members are quite average. Some are good at dancing, singing, and some are good at rapping. The key point is that the music is not bad, but the styling can be simple and chic. Some, and when that sword appeared, I was a little dumbfounded.

5 BGYO - Patintero

Another boy band from the Philippines, this group is more Japanese in style and music. Why another Filipino idol group? Because Weilan has known from a long time ago that Philippine music is not weak, and there have been many singers with super strong singing ability. Although this group focuses on youthful, natural and relaxed style, there are also very outstanding singers and rappers in it, and the songs are very brainwashing, the harmonies are nice and the arrangements are meticulous. This is good pop music.

6 4MIX - Hot & Cold

Idol boy band from Thailand. How can we forget Thailand, which everyone is more familiar with? In fact, Thailand also has many idol groups under the influence of Korean Wave. This group has been introduced before. Not only can they sing and dance and are not weak, the main thing is that their music style is quite good. Diverse, even the genders of the members are diverse. With three super cool and sassy male voices and one beautiful boy, this group is very eye-catching and topical as soon as they stand out. Coupled with the great music, Asian pop music is indeed very prosperous.
