Is the 4th Gen of KPop now firmly established to make a 3rd Gen bid to return to power infeaible?

After the event of June 15, 2022, everything just changed for KPop.

The initiative, for the first time since SNSD's boom in 2009 , fell into the side of girl groups.

In addition, the 4th Gen acts simply exploded.

I personally think this is going to be the last hurrah of Twice and BlackPink at least in Korea, as they move the bases of their popularity to the overseas, and the 4th gen acts , almost like as if they were always there, quickly finished building up their support base.

Now, I expect next year to be the transition year of the 3rd and 4th Gen, who is now signifying the new wave post-covid. I am afraid with the end of the covid restrictions, the 3rd Gen, which reached its greatest heights among the lockdowns, are going to 'pass the torch' to the new generation.

(And there remains the question of the last remaining 2nd Generation singer, who significantly overstayed her welcome. I personally think she knows where the wind is blowing and will probably quietly ride to the sunset, since she named her concert after the sunset hours, but given her propensity to give a hard time to a new and upcoming generation, I think she will at least try to show her power to the newer crops personally at least one time before she does that.)

I am sure you would have written a similar post in 2016, about 2nd gen and 3rd gen.

Since you and your Senior Singer are linked by destiny for her to always disprove your doomsaying, she owned 2017.

So good that you are repeating that history in 2022 for 3rd to 4th gen, again prophesying the Strange Creatures' retirement, hopefully history will repeat itself.

In any case, the deal is till 2055(?) when at 63 or is it 1373 years old, she will beat Cho Young Pil and win the Daesang, that would be what 10th Generation?

The chief difference is in 2016 she was 23 while she is now 29 (1,343)

At that time she was young enough to disrupt KPop and form alliances to fight one side against each other

but now she has aged enough to be a bit distant from her victims.

She is walking a delicate strait - if she doesn't fight the 4th Gen she will be revered and continue to receive a filial duty, but if she decides to fight them they will unite to be rid of the last relic of the 2nd Gen.
