Ok girlies i was away from kpop (the new one from quite sometime, i only followed my old faves) and the landscape has completly changed. So fill me up who's cool, who we hate, the new it girl, most popular groups, better performers etc

 

From what i've seen so far:

 

LE SERAFIM - while i prefered jurina over sakura i might stan them cause unforgiven is a BOP. Also seems like Sakura isnt even the most popular in her group, so thats a small win

IVE- I smell sajaegi (well produce scum duh) and they seem kinda forced into my throat. I guess we have a suzy - Miss A situation here. I AM is great the rest very mediocre and the latest straight up bad(ie)

NEW JEANS - havent heard them so far but they are pledis right? (acquired by BIGHIT but still...) i will check them out

G-idle - well they are not new but they are the most competent and consistently popular group rn no (from their gen)? well soyeon is amazing the rest are fillers

 

i guess there are the top dogs right now?

 

Other thoughts

 

ITZY flopiest JYP GG:skull:

BP are over i guess but their business model already ruined the industry :sad:

 

 

 

 

 

If you want a ranking of the most popular groups, this is how I would rank them right now: 

 

  1. BTS
  2. BLACKPINK
  3. NewJeans
  4. Stray Kids
  5. TWICE / SEVENTEEN
  6. TXT
  7. IVE / (G)I-DLE
  8. LE SSERAFIM / aespa / ENHYPEN

Maybe after the Produce 48 fiasco... then i started to lose interest gradually and visiting this thread (which was my primary news source) and especially when clc disbanded

 

i dont pay attention to BG but i had the idea that stray kids were an indie artsy flop group... my bad i guess

You're probably gonna end up liking LE SSAKURAFIM over these other groups anyway, they're great performers and if you like Unforgiven which is their worst title then you're gonna love their other sings, such as Antifragile, Blue Flame, Fearless, Eve, Psyche... 

 

IVE are kind like early TWICE - massive hits and pretty girls, really good pop songs tho - Love Dive, After Like, Blue Blood, Off The Record. but yeah, Wonyoung is the it girl of this gen, but it's not a Suzy situation bc ppl know/like Yujin as well.

 

ITZY are not the floppiest JYP GG bc now JYP has NMIXX, which are probably the most talented gg of this gen, but their music is... well, a choice. Check O.O out and you get what I mean. 

 

NJ are the main GG I guess, massive hits and stuff, easily digestible tik-tok'd music, their concept is being regular girls in a way, kind the opposite of girl crush. MHJ is a bit of a genius with their concepts and promotional tatics, but they are a very ~vibes and aesthetic~ group if you know what I mean, even if they do have some gIIreat songs here and there - Hype Boy, ETA, Ditto

 

aespa is the most acclaimed GG out of the main ones, I think? or is it NJ? I don't know, but they're pretty solid. their concept is kind of real life K/DA, and it's corny tbh, but they do have the bops and their vocals are good, so if you ignore that you have beautiful girls with songs like Savage, Yeppi Yeppi, Iconic, Illusion, Lucid Dream, Salty and Sweet, etc

 

 

BP are not over and their impact will never go away so :heart:

No you were right, cause SKZ were indeed a flop group for Big 3 standards and were labeled as the “biggest flop in Big 3 history” at some point. But all that changed when they went viral with their single “Gods Menu”.

 

  • They are now the 3rd best selling Kpop act of all time (behind BTS & SVT)
  • The 4th most streamed Kpop act of all time (behind BTS, BP & TWICE)
  • One of the best touring acts in Kpop (behind BTS, BP & TWICE)
  • Have one of the biggest fandoms in Kpop known as “STAY”

Stray Kids are not more popular than aespa and LSRF:rip:let alone IVE and IDLE

 

they are big for a BG for sure

The nerve of putting NMIXX in the flop tier next to the likes of Cherry Bullet and Rocket Punch, especially when NMIXX are in the same tier as STAYC and XG with them leading that tier as well:bibliahh:

jessi joining in the comeback madness 

I missed the annual Jessi bop

 

I feel like we don't talk about how this sing is actually really good :duck: unconventional sctruture, many great moments, catchy melodies, the instrumental setting the sad boi mood moment perfectly :clap3: if only they had members capable of singing that fake love chorus and not sounding like... that. we just need an AI Jin-less version of it, I'm pretty sure that would make it almost flawless.
