2009 had F(x), 2NE1, T-ara and 4 minute, T-ara got lucky because they were unqiue as they were hyped as super rookies and had alot of predebut stuff(both Ham and Jiyeon), the other ones were big 3 or cube and they are currently popular groups, Rainbow was crushed under the competition back then. Secret didn't get their big break till '11, when all the big girl groups already left town(reason why they didnt get very far on the charts with Love is Move) by WG and SNSD alike.
+ Show Spoiler +

There are some exceptions, such as Sistar,T-ara,After School(up to some degree) and Kara and(who had a breakthrough with Mister cause of the choreo and catchyness of it and Rainbow is not one of those exceptions, Secret up to a degree I suppose is also one of those exceptions, however I think IY helped them alot with that and it took them 2 years with eveyone out of town.

Also I feel(but this is personal I suppose) that Rainbow does not have that one member that stands out and or has a pale skin and stuff such as Sohee, Sunhwa, Yoona, Jiyeon, Sulli and Hyunah(admiteddly also most of them big 3) but they don't have that single member that stands out to the koreans much.

Look at CCM and DSP, both have one huge group, T-ara and KARA respectivly, yet their other ''projects'' dont seem to do well with the exception of Davichi(and that is only marginal success).

And then there is the what, ~30 girlgroups who have debuted last year?The only one who is succesfull is Dal Shabet because appearently they had enough money to throw in 3 (or more) promotion cycles in a row with never a break, and they aren't even that succesfull, on the other hand we have A Pink, who with excellent marketing is already big and won their first Mnet award.

Yet the other girl groups, numerous as they are , are nowhere.

So yeah, being part of big 3 (or cube) is a pretty usefull skill toi have because as it turns out, in pop music, money and connections are pretty important

CCM is gigantic in the sense Loen is. It's a subsidiary of mnet, which is also a subsidiary of the CJ conglomerate (yes, the same one that sponsors Entus). I can assure you they are definitely not lacking in "connections" or funds. As for large groups, SeeYa was pretty big in 07-08 when they were still together; SG Wannabe and Lee Hyori in their respective heydays were under CCM as well. Technically CN Blue and FT Island are both large bands also under CCM in a subsidiary label.
As for side projects I have no idea what they're trying to do with Co-Ed, I'm surprised I remember them at all.

DSP used to be huuugggee with SS501, Sechs Kies and fin.k.l, they're honestly a shadow of what they used to be.

Sistar isn't that big of a group IMO, they've won a couple rookie awards and a digital bonsang, and won Mubank a whopping one time. I think nobody really started paying attention to them until plebs were wowed by Hyorin's vocals and their subgroup debuted.

debuted.

Do you mean line-up wise ? I'm pretty sure they are making more money with KARA in Japan right now that they ever did with both finkl and ss501 combined. Soon they will debut ss502 (dont know if actual name or just nickname given by fans) and Rainbow is bound to rise up higher. DSP lookin pretty strong imo.

Just because.

I'm a huge Jiyeon fan but her acting in Dream High 2 is really getting annoying.. she has 1 face. It's that stuck up bitchy face and I just wish she could convey something else.. anything T_T

It's not the best but the other actors are far worse. 2AM guy is ok but JB, Sora (who's the main lead, seriously?) and Soon Dong are much much worse.

JYP #1 actor!!!!!

Kahi is actually pretty good, JB's acting is disgusting, Jinwoon is pretty good, Sora is disgusting (not just her acting), PJY is okay but her appearance makes up for it imo.

Eh... you gotta consider the fact that it's Korean acting.. kinda different culture and stuff..
like comparing to American acting/Western I guess... it's not very good lol

EDIT: http://www.allkpop.com/2012/02/netizen-creates-a-list-and-ranking-the-girl-groups

I think I agree O_o

Only reason I started really. Plots not that bad but not really that good either; I wouldn't keep up just for it.

^Yeah I know, but I've watched other kdramas and movies before so it's not like I don't know what to expect. The acting is horrendous by any standards.

Wow... didn't think that Koreans saw T-ara as higher than KARA and WG. A very pleasant surprise.

Well it's Korean, singular. Don't really know why they reported it (other than the fact that it generates a lot of pangirl arguments) but it'd be equivalent to someone reporting one of our tier rankings. It's stupid.

Yeah this. And F(x) over BEG and Miss A was surprising as well.

Edit: Nevermind, it's just one guy's power rank. Why is this published on AKP... this hardly deserves to be reported.

Hot Summer did better than either of their other two comebacks.
