why do k-pop bands tend to have lots of members?

popular Korean group

K-pop bands tend to have lots of members (currently averaging 9) in a group for not only better division of responsibilities between members, but to ensure a higher reach among the target audience.

Large K-pop groups can have subunit groups which would target specific audiences divided even by their geographic locations. The larger the group, more diverse it might be in terms of looks, styles, hobbies, characters, etc..

The more 'tastes' it might cover, the more members there are to love.
