QWER, a girl band, has risen to prominence in popular culture despite facing significant opposition from radical feminist. Their rapid success, stemming from their internet streamer origins and anti-feminist stance, has drawn criticism. Nevertheless, QWER continues to thrive, solidifying their position in the music industry.
The Rise of QWER in Popular Culture
QWER is a girl band that has recently gained significant success. Their journey began with the release of their first mini-album, MANITO. The album’s title track, “Harmony from Discord,” immediately became a sensation. This success continued with their latest release, solidifying QWER’s position in popular culture.
Unprecedented Success of QWER
The title track from their latest album, “Gomindongdok”, achieved remarkable success. It ranked third on Melon’s TOP100 and fourth on the daily chart. It also reached second place on YouTube Music’s Korea Weekly Top 100. Despite not promoting on TV, QWER emerged as a significant force in the music industry.
The Role of Radical feminist in the Popularity of QWER
QWER’s rise to success wasn’t without challenges. Radical feminist in Korea have been a vocal group against QWER. They oppose the band primarily because of the members’ history as internet streamers. In Korea, internet streamers often face criticism and are seen as symbols of low culture. The radical feminist community’s negative response to QWER’s mild exposure in streaming content also fueled their opposition.
Opposition from Radical feminist to QWER
Radical feminist are especially critical of QWER due to the members’ perceived anti-feminist stance. QWER’s leader, Chodan, has publicly criticized radical feminist, while member Siyeon expressed conservative views on marriage. These actions have led to consistent backlash from radical feminist, who frequently attack the band online.
Success of QWER Without Following the Indie Band Path
Another source of criticism for QWER is their swift rise to success without following the traditional indie band path. Many believe QWER lacks the skill and experience typical of successful indie bands, causing resentment among rock music fans. Despite this, some argue that QWER’s success could benefit the overall band culture in Korea, which has been declining in recent years.
Continued Success of QWER Despite Radical Feminist Opposition
Despite facing significant opposition, especially from radical feminist, QWER continues to succeed. The band’s position in the music industry is now comparable to mainstream girl groups. This demonstrates that even under pressure, QWER’s success is undeniable, and their influence continues to grow.

I was like, ‘Oh, it’s just a fun group,’ but they’re killing it! Their music is incredible and I’m so shocked at how popular they’ve become.
