IVE/Twice; All out comebacks are hits so we are number 1.
Vs.
BP/NJ Our debut broke all kinds or records, so we should be number 1.
Going for them.
Then the RV/Aespa...but, but, but we have the best vocals.
IVe is popular globally and they don't have a cute concept they are more like blackpink
Doesn’t matter, aespa still have more hardcore fans and a stable fanbase than those 2 groups. A stable fanbase is better than having the fickle GP. And how is aespa behind NJ on spotify? Looking at spotify aespa is still above NJ. Should wait for NJ to release more songs before claiming that aespa is far behind. NJ might underperform like Itzy with Sneakers on spotify or yes aespa with Girls.
If we're talking only Korea, i wouldn't count out any of these groups. Popularity is all about It Girls it seems like, and they all have at least one or two actual or potential ones.
Idle
Newbeans
Lesserafim and Stayc have outside shots but Stayc in particular is in danger of getting left behind, LSRFM is newer and still has a chance to go blow up even bigger over the next two years.

Both Hype Boy and Attention outpeaked and had better longevity than any Aespa song. NewJeans passing Aespa’s listeners with only 4 songs today is proof of that. But yeah, the comeback is paramount to see their longevity.
Aespa can still redeem themselves. Their sales are amazing, and the fact that they were able to get to top 8 on Melon even with a shitty song like Girls shows they still have interest - SM just needs to give them the right song. Promoting Winter and Karina individually won't hurt either.
IVE is the only 4th gen group that's proved themselves. They will be like Twice with massive sales and do really well in Korea and Japan + they will actually have it-girls. They may do well in terms of global streams, but they are too big of a group with too many filler members to be as big as BP globally in the long run.
NJ has had unprecedented success with their debut. But, HYBE is also not consistent with their group's title tracks (look at TXT, Enhyphen, recent BTS) so you cannot count on them to deliver quality tracks like Attention and Hybe Boy with every comeback. Every one was rushing to hand Aespa the crown to 4th gen in 2021, and now according to anon they are flop. I would wait and see how NJ does in the future, especially since I would say Next Level is still bigger than any other 4th gen song.
What if YG debuts a group next year (BP will be busy with their tour so fans can't complain - seems like the perfect opportunity) and they inherit a portion of the blink fandom and wash everyone globally? SK will likely tune in as well since this will be YG's first gg in 7 years

This make no sense either. IVE already have global success, they're only behind BTS and BP and broke D4 wall in just 8 months active. They are the 3rd biggest global group right now, if you're gonna have an opinion at least have it based on facts.
little insulting to compare rookie groups like ive and newjeans to bp and twice
aespa and itzy are the most fitting of that imo since its too early but either way 4th gen won't come close to 3rd gen overall peak
No. The doors are open. 4th gen will make 3rd gen look like rural acts in comparison.
As for NJ, they're winning the culture war. A whole generation of girls are going to grow up with waist length black hair and minimal makeup just because of attention alone. if they comeback even bigger than their debut we will absolutely see a culture shift.

It's not a compliment to be the next twice though? 
Nobody is talking about unpredictable k-charts
I snorted
BP won VMAs. Whatever YGNGG are, they will be winning Grammys.
