Since the year is ending soon, and we are about to enter 2024, I have a spicy question that can start a big debate:

 

How would y’all rank the 10 biggest 4th gen groups in order right now including both ggs and bgs in terms of career and popularity?
 

4th gen Kpop competition is so fierce and exciting! 
 

 

It’s too hard to rank them individually so I’m gonna put them in tiers. 

S+ Tier - New Jeans, Stray Kids
A Tier - Aespa, TXT, Enhypen, IVE, Gidle 

B Tier - Itzy, Le Sserafim, Riize, NCT Dream
 

 

C Tier - The Boys, StayC, Ateez, 

D Tier - Kepl1r, NMixx, 50/50, XG, Everglow, Treasure

Well Korean digitals are just 1 metric, that most bgs aren’t even benefitting from, since bgs tend to do worse on digitals than ggs in Korea in general. Whatever happens with bgs in Korea has nothing to do with their global numbers though. ENHYPEN (since you have used them as an example) are indeed more popular overseas, hence why their Spotify numbers are way bigger than their MelOn numbers. Like it’s shouldn’t be that hard to figure out 

 

I have question for you:

 

Who would you say has the bigger career between ENHYPEN and STAYC for example? 

You’re missing the point entirely. Boy groups thrive off of a small niche of super dedicated fans who bulk buy and use Stationhead to manipulate streaming numbers whereas girl groups thrive off of appealing to the general public. I’m not using Korea to state that it is the end-all, be-all for music markets - I’m just pointing out that they’re the only market in the entire world that weeds out fraudulent streams and mass fanbase streams. 4th Gen boy groups literally don’t exist outside of their dedicated fanbases.
 

Does ENHYPEN have a larger fanbase than STAYC? Yes. Is ENHYPEN known outside of that fanbase? No. Does ENHYPEN have a single song that is known by a member of the GP? No. Does ENHYPEN have a song known by K-pop fans outside of their fanbase? No. Girl groups don’t have the luxury to be so irrelevant to the GP because they have to sell music. It’s called privilege that ENHYPEN, with 0 hits and 0 GP appeal, can outsell STAYC, with four hits and plenty of GP appeal.

not them stealing the album name from KISS OF LIFE.....maybe if they serve SUGARCOAT all will be forgiven

on that tangent.....wouldnt it be funny if they accidentally served their best song (in a while at least) while lia is missing from the group? would definitely give weight to the theory that groups always do better after kicking a member.

Unpupular opinion but with good music and proper management, Babymonster can still hit it big without Aheyon (although I prefer her to come back).

- I would put LE SSERAFIM on A-Tier as well  though. 

 

- THE BOYZ are kinda nugu now and are below everyone in this list

 

- ATEEZ & TREASURE >>> RIIZE (but they just debuted)

Uhm, just because you have zero knowledge about ENHYPEN and other bgs, does not mean other people including non-fans have zero knowledge about bgs as well. I can promise you that Kpop fans in general know more about songs like Drunk-Dazed, Fever, Bite Me from ENHYPEN than songs like Teddy Bear, Bubble, ASAP etc. from STAYC 

But will ITZY top this?

That intro bangs in my head everytime I read the word  

Hitzzzy 

 

ASDGHJ not the curse radiating through a pepsi can

 

 

Okayyy but why isn't Lia getting a solo MV?  The sabotage is too obvious

The pre-chorus  Sihyeon's high note in the last chorus 

 

This was truly the best mini in Kpop when you think about it! LA DI DA following up with UNTOUCHABLE then Gxxd BOY and ending with NO GOOD REASON
