hard reference to newjeans about to debut, but this is NOT like kpop is saturated bc of newjeans type of post
just... deep pity for idols (gonna talk abt ggs only cos i legitimately dk boygroups aside from the popular ones)\
2014, 2015, 2016 only twice omg rv mamamoo bp survived (and they had to be the literal top!) wjsn too...
2017 who? only dreamcatcher still has enough fans
2018 4th gen rookies only pay-my-bills gg in my mind is G-idle (im worried for everglow and loona)
2019? only itzy is doing great
2020 aespa and stayc rocking it (weeekly, etc... danger zone)
2021 IVE is doing well, billlie has potential, purple kiss can still do it
2022 kep1er, lesserafim, new jeans are great
and it only gets harder for the groups as they grow older. like i legit feel as if groups i dont stan is so dated and old i feel bad about thinking like that
at this point, it's going to be just more cutthroat and we'll have top 5 groups die out in their 3rd year
so don't let idols only have idol life. let them go to college first or have something else. cause this shit is burning up way too fast to finance the rest of their lives after their peak.
they've all worked hard. just bc other kpop idols thrived debuting at 13 doesn't mean it has to be this way. feeling so sad (not only) for the young class:y members.
do u agree? if u dont... ill cry
