Can Winter become a bigger it girl than Wonyoung?

  • We're talking about Korea It Girl, maybe other places in Asia, so unless we're Asian and living in Asia how can we figure that out? Even if we were, I'm guessing Wonyoung will be declared It Girl by her fans, Winter by hers. And Karina. Sullyoon by hers. Yuna by hers.


    And meanwhile Queen Jennie is seated too high up on her throne to hear any of it.

  • The difference between Wonyoung and Winter popularity is that Wonyoung's popularity supersedes her fandom - it's universal. Meanwhile, Winter's popularity is mostly based in her fandom.


    Among non fans and the general public people acknowledge Wonyoung. Whereas with Winter, most people outside of Mys don't even get her hype or might prefer Karina over her.


    I don't think this is something that will change even after Winter has had more time to establish herself. Because although some people are using the excuse that Wonyoung technically debuted earlier, the Wonyoung in Iz*One is not the same Wonyoung in IVE. Wonyoung in IVE completely dwarfs Wonyoung in Iz*One. While Iz*One did have a strong fandom, they had very little public relevance and was virtually unknown to international fans. Most people only discovered Wonyoung in full after she debuted with IVE.


    I'd argue she and Winter had about fair privilege. Wonyoung had some pre-existing fandom because of Iz*One, but Winter did too because she is from SM, a big 3 company, and had a fandom pre-built and waiting for her.


    But if Winter really had the it-girl potential she would have long broken the barrier between her fandom and general public like Wonyoung did, but she hasn't. Literally look at Irene. She became a hot topic the moment she debuted and the general public fell for her. As of right now I don't even think Winter has dethroned Irene when it comes to it girl status much less Wonyoung. Knetz still hype Irene visuals even after her scandal.

    Jennie isn't even the it girl in her group lmao.

    You are so dumb for this lol if you dont know shit just be quiet.

    Do you think Suzy left her it girl status for Jennie to occupy? There's only one main it girl per gen and that's Wonyoung for 4th, she is a wall that koreans love and hate her intensely and she always is requested for cfs and magazines in comparison to other idols. Obviously you dont even know stuff for your hot takes to be valid.

  • In korea yes. Internationally no. She could be the next taeyeon. Problem is sm is pushing Karina more. Wonyoung is not really set right now because ives popularity can affect her popularity. Aespa too. Group popularity comes first.

  • You know despite Wonyoung's arrogant image, she also has this cute (baby charm) on her while winter doesn't really have this cute vibe

    Maybe sm can fix that but her cold image doesn't really help

  • Jennie isn't even the it girl in her group lmao.

    Is this a joke? Are you referring to Lisa? When people think of BLACKPINK, they think of Jennie. She leads the image and popularity of the group.


    Lisa is more so popular in her own name... Like people know her from BP but when they think of Lisa they think of just her. It's more of an outlier thing. So no, she's not the it girl in BLACKPINK.

  • sm does not spend money on nice outfits or good MVS for aespa, but they do spend a lot of money of meddia play, they have their mininons doing "news on this kpop sites" while only bts has this kind of coverage organicly - not even Blackpink or Twice are so promoted. So eventually they get into your brain and you are another sheep that thinks that because all this people "fake" (spotify don´t lie, nobody listen to them) listen to them, they must be good....Maybe you should follow them too.
