Probably the strongest reason why IU/YG acts/ MC Mong/ AOA/SISTAR and ballads even to an extent EXO chart so high and long. They have males streaming because they aren't looked down for liking them and don't cater to just female demographics.

u got me until there....
i am sorry but no... liking EXO is like liking 1D.... actually its kinda the same thing.... and str8 Koreans wont admit and i doubt they like EXO... EXO chart and sell so high for the same reason as 1D extreme fan girls....
Also i dont know what AOA doing up there in your list...
They only ones i agree is IU/SISTAR/YG
IU isnt even considered an idol anymore... she is kinda considered a singer/artist....
YG acts have more hip hop sound and bad ass look....
As for girl groups... they have the male audience... they just need older audience...
sistar have more mature looks and sound.... so they might appeal in older people too...
and keep in mind that kpop isnt as popular as we thing in Korea..... the biggest reason why kpop exist is the faithful fans... so as long as kpop groups have a nice fanbase they are ok... 2pm might not be so mainstream in Korea anymore.... but they still make huge amount of money...
