I'm sorry but the narrative going on lately that SM will shelve aespa or make them the new f(x) is just crazy :deadbanana4: Why on earth would SM use just aespa for their mediaplay during the entire SM vs HYBE mess just to get rid of them?  aespa are literally what hybe and kakao are after bc of their profits and metaverse concept! Let's be real cause if anything the new gg will be overshadowed and become the f(x) to aespa's snsd :fan2:

We'll have to see how Aespa's new comeback does because I think that'll determine what happens to them with a ngg in the mix. If it underperforms then might be best to try a new group to win back the public. SM is the one saying they'll be the #1 entertainment company so don't see that happening if their groups lag behind NJ, IVE, etc. 

 

I don't think shelved and gotten rid of but maybe treated like RV where SM didn't push them hard to be the most popular gg. And if Aespa can sell tours then that works out because of the stupidly ambitious revenue targets the company set. 

why do y'all keep arguing about NETFLIXX? is it really worth wasting your energy on such a turd group

SM is clearly working hard for the new cb and they won't disregard it like they did with Girls (the song) so I don't think that'll happen

Cheshire, SMF and LMLT all about the baseline rather than the chorus. JYP needs to stop that trend :rip: 

 

And sadly I think LMLT is actually the best out of the three :rip:

 

I would say NMIXX is JYP’s most talented GG ever. Sorry Wonder Girls I still Stan :bird:

Cheshire= 45,093,315

+258,302

Girls= 68,679,064
68,817,170
+138,106

Illusion= 84,969,629
85,183,984
+214,355

and yes, I admit I was way off with Girls streams but Illusion and Cheshire daily streams are not far off and Cheshire is not doing 300k daily lol. mind you Illusion was released 8 months ago but it gained almost the same amount of streams as Cheshire that was released only 3 months ago :deadbanana2:Cheshire may outstream Girls next year or in 2025-2026 but no Cheshire will not outstream Illusion anytime soon, maybe in 2030.:coffee2:

I only see Illusion getting bigger and bigger in the future

I’m sorry, but what do you think is the point of a record label? Like this is a business to make profit. Why would they shelve/not push a group who just sold 1.8M copies with a mini in order to have just one truly active group? Like wouldn’t it make more sense to have RV, Aespa and SMNGG active each with separate teams and all pistons firing?

If we’re being honest with ourselves, NMIXX is probably the most well-rounded girl group since Girls’ Generation. Vocalists, dancers, visuals and energy.

NewJeans is not going to wear off anytime soon, mark my words. They're going to be the biggest GG for at least a few years and I'm predicting that they're going to have one of the biggest breakthroughs into the west we've seen for K-Pop ala BTS and Blackpink. We've already seen the beginnings of it with Ditto and OMG. The only way I could see them flopping hard anytime soon would be if MHJ stepped down from her position and/or the creative team took a diff approach isolating their audience. The music and concept right now markets itself too flawlessly to Gen Z teenage girls. The ONJH in here are going to have to suffer I fear.

BAEMON is coming sweetie... the "4th gen leader" title changes every year I mean literally everyone thought Itzy were the new queens of kpop and "the next BLACKPINK" and now look at them. Same goes for IVE, aespa, and stay c.... New Jeans will be forgotten once BAEMON debuts this year. mark my words.

Their overall success is kinda sus, their youtube views are so low, and their song didnt feel really big in comparison to previous huge hit by other gg.

No something feels different this time. NewJeans have solidified themselves, 5 Top 10 hits, the longest running Korean #1 on Melon and the first to K-Pop girl group to hit Top 10 WW Spotify after Blackpink? All six of their songs are still charting and they also helped bring back popularity for “Tell Me” too. No doubt Baemon will be big, but it will be tough for them to beat those goalposts.

now that OMG achieved triple crown in inkigayo, #HypeBoy1stWin next week :WAP: . And it's gonna be so iconic for hype boy to have its first win after 8 months of its first nomination on inkigayo :wanda:

longevity queen :clap3:

 

It’s still wild that Jisoo AND Jimin are going to be on the same Inkigayo, performing their solos next week :laugh:

bfr, no one ever considered stayc as one of the 4th gen leaders lol even before they gained their biggest hit with teddy bear, during asap they were not dominant enough to be considered as leaders, sure they are successful and still is but they aren't really close with other top 4th gen ggs and that's fine, for a non big 4 gg with no famous members before debut, they're doing pretty well and their next album is looking to sell 500k.

Can't wait for hype boy first win :giraffe:

Truly monsters :jonny5:

 

For me NJ will indeed be the #1 and I feel like SMNGG and Baemon will fight back and forth between each other but never reach the hugeness of NJ :bird:

 

Excited for what's about to come in the future of Kpop  :jonny5:

 

IVE and Jisoo comebacks are right around the corner.

aespa, lesserafim comebacks are also very soon and NewJeans mark my words will make their comeback in June same as the month of the debut of SMNGG and probably Baemon too :jonny5:
