IMO, why korean group that debuted in japan is not that popular amongst their (kpop) fans is because they are design to take over the jpop industry yang mainnya di lokal aja, a.k.a ngemis bosqu :) and not for global market. Buktinya bisa diliat dari appearance mereka yang semakin banyak di tv lokal jp, terutama acara musik, kayak msute, fns, ongaku no hi, dll. This is why I (and maybe some people) don`t like JO1/NiziU/TWICE. And also, as the money they`ve made will be paid back to the agency, whic is a korean agency, yang nantinya dipake buat ngedorong grup2 utamanya yang kpop ga ada j-pop2nya. Alias mereka itu cuman stepping stone buat grup utama agensi mrk yang menurut gue kasian juga ges :`)
