Should we come up with a name for Le sserafim, Ive, NewJeans, Kep1er, Nmixx

Other than "MAMA Collaboration participants" or 2022 debuting girl groups (Ive is Dec 2021)

If Knetz made it it might be LeNewKepNIve or IveKepNLeNew (Order of debut)

Or Hy-Star-Plan-J (Hybe, starship, Planet, JYP)

how bout NLINK? (Nmixx/NJ, Lesserafim, Ive, NewJeans/Nmixx, Kep1er)

4th gen girl groups isn't right either, we should have a name to refer to just these 5 not Stayc, aespa, Itzy, Idle

How about 4.1 Gen and 4.2 Gen

Mrs Ex xD

Ex what

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

4.5 Generation of Kpop.

The first wave of 4th generation started in 2018 with Stray Kids. It included Idle, Izone, StayC, Aespa, Enhypen, Everglow, Weeekly, TXT, Ateez, Treasure. This wave ended when Izone disbanded.

From the ashes of Izone's destruction, rose Ive. This was the first daughter group of Izone and the beginning of the 4.5 generation. Later we got NMIXX, Kepler, LSRFM, and New Jeans.

4.5 Gen groups, it won't be confusing to people who know them

NLINK rhymes with Blink and N is also next to B on the keyboard XD

Presumably NILK could also work cause N can be both "NewJeans and Nmixx" but that sounds not quite as good

Quote from KpopJop

could also try KILNN because these groups are straight fire

Kilnn

Linnk

Only the 4.5 gen one will catch on

I just wanted to say Mnet has already decided this as LINNK

In the description of their 2022 MAMA collab performance it says "'LINNK the next generation'"

LINNK is on the thumbnail of all "Plus cam" videos of the collaboration

Quote from lialve

No cause babymonster will be bigger than half of them, bigger than Kepler and nmixx

Yeah maybe just stick with "The 2022 MAMA Collab girl groups" or "ive, lsf, Nmixx, NewJeans, and Kep1er"

or 4.5 generation or 2022 debuts like someone said

Quote from catzi

So BLINNK

which would be really really cool as bp influenced and impacted all of them

Babymonster and pre-Babymonster
