i think this is itzy's last chance to cement their spot as top GG since aespa is

Quote from Theo35

explain Gfriend then, they literally released 2 national hit in short of time too and ruined it in one year. GP is aware of top group and top soloist thats why you need a good trust with GP. also why rolling needed 5 years to viral?

is Gfriend part of big 3? I'm talking within the topic

Quote from ThePhantomThief

You've mentioned JYP and Itzy budget "last time" a few times now. What are you referring to?

20/20 was kind of cheap looking, but it wasn't a major comeback release, just a side project, and LOCO looked expensive as all hell.

Well, the sneakers posters and the little clips with the members look rreally cheap. Also, what was the idea behind the change in quality from the first teaser and the sneakers promos? My guess is the people in charge don't have any idea of what are doing, and this is also for lack of money ( with money you hire more capable people)

Speaking too soon aespa are on the rise

I don't agree that it's their last chance

This.
Also this is why I kinda agree with the idea that jyp intentionally make the queen concept poster really differ than the actual title track things to make a buzz like now.
The Sneakers song from the preview alone seems like it was intended to be a tiktok challenge thing.

But, let's see how the actual comeback will be.

what top GG?

Aespa has better sales, Ive and Aespa have better Korean Stats but they seem to be doing good on Spotify

its not like they're directly went down hill. after all they manage to score another hit with TFTMN after flopping with Fingetrip. Love Whisper although didnt really have much impact but it did peaked #1 on Melon

Ahh sorry, when you said last time, I thought you were referring to previous comebacks/MV's like Loco or 20/20.

I dunno, I'm still on the bench with Checkmate/Sneakers. I know last weeks teaser stuff looked tacky, but the tacky almost seemed intentional. Like they KNEW what they were doing with it

You give too much credit to JYP. When that company had show this kind of risky moves? The more likely is that is like with NMixx, they tried to make a song with the same style of Aespa songs. But they hired some mediocre producers. They want to do something but the lack of creativity make them fail.

Can itzy and aespa not be both top ggs?

I think the problem with easy is that they keep on releaseing mediocre title tracks meaning its so-so so the audience are no longer tuning as much esp the GP. they are more fan -driven now and is it only me or are they blending in on the background more and more as time passes. Its their discography its not so good.

I love these girlies but to me...it's not looking this comeback is going to be it. I wonder how Wannabe performed in the charts, I've always had the impression it's their best song so far

Wannabe coincided with covid, I don't remember it charting that well. But the favorite song of overseas fans is definitely Wannabe. Itzy's chart-topping songs were Dalla Dalla and Icy. As far as I have observed, Koreans have repeatedly stated in the comments that they like Dalla Dalla and Icy style more. I think Jyp go back to that style again with the Sneaker.

what? i didnt mention big 3 in this thread. ive is literally the top group right now, and i also mentioned less firm that have a chance to take a spot too. we are talking about top group

I mean you emphasize itzy and aespa in the title so I'm assuming this is the main topic
