Is IVE proof that 4th gen groups aren’t flops?

3rd Gen stans always say that BP and BTS are bigger than kpop and will never be surpassed, IVE are touching their international stronghold. #23 on Spotify Global and #82 on US Spotify! No other group has entered the top 100 of US Spotify besides BTS and BP. THEY have the most longevity on Spotify Global of ALL groups this year and touched some of BP’s records on Apple Music. And they are just getting started. Will they hit BTS and BP status unlike any 4th Gen group?
