Could IVE or NewJeans sell out Tokyo Dome right now?

Uhm no. Not yet.
The groups i could see doing it faster are Ive or Le Sserafim tho.

Oh or maybe Aespa i guess, but i dont follow them to know exactly how popular they are there..

ive or aespa

0% chance

Maybe Lesserafim??
I don't know because Chaewon and Sakura is big during izone time.

I don't know how big IVE and Newjeans is in Japan tho.

Are they big?

no, not a chance if think about it realistically.

No. I think it would be one of the Hybe boy groups first, because they seem to be doing really well in Japan in album sales. I know everyone thinks record sales don't matter here on AKP, but they do provide an indicator to $$ people will actually spend on a group vs just streaming them. People can knock NCT 127's charting and streams all they want, but they're still selling out Tokyo Dome.

But someone please correct me if I'm wrong here!

don't think so, especially as it requires popularity specifically in Japan

Took Twice about three and half years before they felt that they could sell out Tokyo dome and they had three popular Japanese members. So the odds are not good especially anytime in the near future.

for 4th gen, probably enhypen, txt, skz, le sserafim.

not sure about ive or newjeans yet.

oh, I also def think aespa could get there very soon!

I get Le_sserafim maybe but is Rei really popular enough in Japan to help IVE in Japan?

It wouldnt be about her though, Wonyoung and Yujin would be the main breadwinners for their Japanese activities because of Izone. Both Ive and Lesserafim have been focusing on Japan and have already had good success there due to their Izone members. Personally i think both were actually targeted specifically for Japan, any Western success could be icing on the cake to their main goal of conquering Japan.

Ive yes. They are doing amazing in Japan.

Bts entered dome after getting 2x platinum, svt after 2x platinum, twice after platinum, and BP after 4 gold certificate.

The level of overconfidence in this thread is pretty astonishing.

I think no GGs can sell out Tokyo Dome yet. Streaming and touring is a little bit different thinh after all.

Closer to Tokyo Dome right now, from my perspective, are TXT and Enhypen

Well I could see NiziU from JYPE doing it. Yes I know they aren't exactly KPOP but since they are starting to do KCONs and I'd be surprised if they weren't invited to MAMA 2022 they might count. For BG with KPOP styles I ca see JO1 from CJE&M. The other Japanese groups with KPOP ish type of singing and dancing INI and BE:First I don't think have the discographies to really put on a full 2.5+ hour performance that this kind of venue would dictate. Both NiziU and JO1 have multiple Platinum sellers and they are CJE&M and JYPE groups.

Charting has little to do with selling out domes

NJ, not yet. They only debuted a few weeks ago, you know?
