the true winner for august girl group battle is New Jeans

Twice haven't joined yettt

If you're only talking about melon, yep they are for now

no, it's Ive and BP.

Newjeans who? Nugu?

NewJeans indeed had very impressive debut. Nobody saw them coming and there wasn't much talk about them until Attention dropped, but in the end, It turned out to be one of the biggest debuts in K-pop. They already broke so many debut records and not only. All 3 titles are hits (and numbers prove that) and loved by many, including idols, actors and more. Honestly, all of this is beyond my expectations and I couldn't be happier for them.

Though, charting wise, August is not over and It's hard to say who comes out as the winner given the competition or who wins in the long run, but for me, they are the winners, especially, music wise.

my bad.. totally forgot about twice lmao

Reported for such blasphemy

Congrats

newjeans had the advantage of being unknown so no one suspected they'd do so well, its amazing what they can achieve with just good songs sure people know that its min heejin's group and a hybe sublabel group but they had the opportunity to catch ppl with their good music as well

Looking for attention:

In korea?

yes they won

1. as you've mentioned August is not over

2. the battle should be limited to K charting which is the only metric which NJ is winning? (I could be wrong)

IVE released their song a day ago, neither them or Blackpink hasn't started promoting yet and Twice didn't even released their comeback, is a bit too soon to get a winner, not that there is needed to have a winner, everybody can do well

A bit confused how you chose the winner, based on Melon only? Blackpink internationally is killing it right now

Ive didnt even start promotion yet but internationally its bp easily followed by ive. They are doing well on both sides as they're only behind 1 and 2 spots nj on melon and blocking each other's pak/rak

Is not a crazy argument.

I think Hybe has to be very, very happy with how well this debut went.

The only small missed opportunity was that they could not get a PAK.

But that is because having to wait a whole week for YouTube charts to update, that is going to be an issue for many groups in the future, it will be very hard to get the timing right.

Even BP may miss on the PAK, they will have the YouTube #1 ranking, but will be blocked by IVE and NJ in some of the charts.

domestically = nwjns

internationally = bp

For such young women, Everything about New Jeans has been impressive, very poised, very charismatic
