WONDERMODE - The popularity of male and female groups in Korea has swung both ways in recent years. In the 2013 Billboard ranking, female groups only made up 20 percent of the most viewed K-Pop videos with male groups making up 40 percent. However, in the 2014 ranking the popularity swung in the favor of the female pop groups when they gained an additional 16 percent and the male groups fell by 12 percent. Although it appears there are not many co-ed pop groups, male and female groups both take alternating turns in the spotlight as is clear from the results of the 2013 and 2014 rankings.
While K-Pop has many bands with huge popularity from both genders, there are significant differences in what is considered acceptable topics between males and females. One of the overarching themes is that is acceptable to be a “bad boy”, whereas it is considered offensive to be a “bad girl”. In South Korean culture, being a bad boy is considered mysterious, and excusable. Oftentimes these “bad boys” are seen as controlling in the relationships, but it is viewed as acceptable. There are dozens of K-Pop songs over the past few years that have titles such as “Bad Guy”, “I’m a Bad Guy”, and “The Bad Guy”. All of these songs focus on the same thing that it is acceptable and considered a positive thing to not always be an upstanding and morally correct male in South Korean society.
