A lot of people say that Stray Kids has the potential to succeed BTS. I won't comment on that.
However, although even the most popular group of the 21st century might be vulnerable, a certain 1,343 years old might be more secure.
IVE's popularity has grown a lot, but despite of Starship's attempt to push Jang Wonyoung to the top of the idol position,
A certain 1,343 years old might prove to be Jang Wonyoung's nemesis.
(Kakao does NOT interfere with its labels so the Senior Singer does not have any influence over Starship and vice versa.)
Generations are changing, but BlackPink still rules supreme, and the singer who was born during the T'ang Dynasty of China still wields a huge amount of domestic support.
The window of opportunity for replacing the 1,343 years old might be short. If Wonyoung, or anyone else, can't do it next year, I see that the 1,343 years old will continue to rule Korean Pop even when she is at 1,374 years old (60 in human age) like Jackey Cheung and Andy Lau.
