idk why so many anon threads are posted trying to paint gidle and ive as 4th gen leaders when its obv aespa
atleast gidle has a hit song (nowhere near next level) and has also achieved a real time all kill (only aespa and gidle have done this for 4th gen), but ive doesnt even have that. i literally dont understand how ive is even in the conversation for 4th gen leaders when they can't touch aespa in anything except spotify streams which their fandom holds onto for their dear life evne though savage has 100M streams and is their third song to do so. except for their own fandom, literally no one even cares about ive. the entire group is hard carried by wonyoung and yujin. the funniest thing about wonyoung is that she's just a potential it girl but aespa also has potential it girls (karina and winter) and they rank higher in brand rankings. other than wonyoung and yujin, most people cant even name the other members of ive versus everyone knowing all 5 members of gidle and all 4 members of aespa.
then gidle vs aespa. in their entire career, tomboy is gidle's only hit. whereas aespa put out next level and then savage. and even their station song that everyone was so sure would fail did better than most of gidles title tracks. im not even going to compare album sales because the difference is laughable. next level has over 800k ul versus tomboys 400k. aespa literally beat bts, gidle can't even beat psy.
literally if you just compare the difference of what the 3 groups are capable of:
aespa performed at COACHELLA and the biggest thing ive has done was some kpop concert that no one's heard of and Gidle's biggest performance was one of their award show performances that aespa has done as well.
aespa has the most followers on QQ music of all of 4th gen
the fact that aespa are the only ones still charting AND ive and gidle are no where to be seen
i could go on and on but the truth is aespa is way bigger than ive and gidle and you guys need to stop pretending the competition is close.
