Netizens play Risk with female idols
2011-01-19 06:19 pmThe competition between girl groups and female solo singers is stronger than ever this year. A Korean online community has recently created a map of nations that represents the growing popularity of girl groups and female solo singers from 2008 until 2011.
The "Birth of the Girl Groups" began in 2008 where fans begin to see the fall of old girl groups and the rise of the next generation. According to the map, in 2008, Hyori, Ivy, and CSJH The Grace were the top three idols.
The Wonder Girls can be seen on the map with a small amount of land. However, the Wonder Girls popularity exploded the following year with the release of their single, "Tell Me". The girls dominated 2009 with their hook songs such as "Tell Me", "So Hot", and "Nobody". As illustrated in the map, the Wonder Girls kicked Hyori, Ivy, Black Pearl, and KARA out of the territory to take over the land.

However, Wonder Girls began to lose the majority of their land in 2010 as they made their way into the U.S. market. While being away, their army begins to weaken and lose land to newcomers and rising groups such as 4minute, HAM, 2NE1, After School, KARA, and Son Dam Bi. SNSD, who debuted the same year as the Wonder Girls, expanded their country double from the previous year by seizing Wonder Girls territory.
2NE1's popularity more than doubled by the second half of 2010 because of their prior releases in 2009, "Fire" and "I Don't Care". They also released a digital single for the Samsung Corby Folder called "Follow Me". In addition, they released their first full length album and promoted three songs.

KARA also doubled in popularity by the second half of 2010 after seeing success in 2009 with "Honey", "Mister", and in 2010, "Lupin". In addition, they made a successful debut in Japan with "Mister".
We also see the nation of 4minute and Brown Eyed Girls beginning to expand, or in other words, see a rise in popularity by the second half of 2010.
Entering the new year, we see that girl groups and female solo singers have completely taken over the country with no boy band nations to be seen in sight. Not that the boy bands were included in this map in the first place. We are only a month in the new year and according to the map, KARA, SNSD, and 2NE1 are already taking over the world.

The Wonder Girls are getting kicked out of the mainland to a nearby island, while SNSD, 2NE1, and KARA are making their move to see who will gain most of the mainland. KARA lose a bit of land against T-ara, Secret, and Rainbow, while IU begins to take over "Hyori Nation" and "Dambi Nation". f(x) has also tripled their ground from the second half of 2010 as they enter the year 2011 and takes land from "Soshi Nation".
Yeah, the timeline of the groups is messed up for some reason, IDEK.
But any nerds out there play Risk and appreciate this as much as I did? :'D It was a very cute idea(:
