[Rumor] Korean Johnny's ?

[ka♡ri.]

If Arashi is popular in Korea, I don't see why a Johnny's-type band can't work there. You all say that they like edgy boybands yet Arashi has a pretty strong fanbase in Korea and they're far from edgy. And yes, the Korean boyband scene is crowded but I think it's OK for some new ones since there's only like 5 good boybands anyways. The rest are terrible!

Seems like I kinda misunderstood the news before. xD Oh well...

If Johnny's wants to branch out, why not give it a try? If they take the risk, yet it won't work out, it's their business. If Arashi is popular in Korea then doesn't that mean they don't only have a need for edgy boybands? And why limit the music scene to edgy boybands anyway? There should be variety. Who knows? Maybe Johnny's will approach the Korean market in a different way.

Well.. Johnny entertainment is already so popular in countries like Japan, Asia and Korea.. So branching out in the korean market means that they see a potential market there.. So it's good i guess for the fans and it also will boost the music industry there...

What are you talking about? Arashi's not "popular" in Korea, they have a small, dedicated, amount of fans, just like a lot of Japanese artists there. They sell next to nothing in Korea. It wouldn't even make sense for a Japanese artist or group to make the move to a MUCH smaller market like Korea, where they wouldn't even make half the money they already do at home.
