Rome wasn't built in a day, a fact that 4gen doesn't want to understand

But I do agree, and that's why I kinda understand for those who don't want to judge a group by only their debut or first cb.

Also I think it's not only about the next new thing, it's also about which one is on top.

They are not wanting things fast. If public is liking music, should they ask them to stop liking it, so they can go. Slow? Lol it is good for idols to start getting paid fast with fast success

I think they understand it especially the fans since the 2nd or 3rd gen fans

they like to grab the title for their favorite
that is a typical hype strategy for their bias

I had no problem about it

let tell me about the history

the difference is back on 2nd gen
everyone know it Wondergirls got the title first
Kara VS SNSD friendly rivalry in 2008
then 2009 SNSD finally claim it
even w 2NE1 popularity they can't do it without the visuals

while the other GG from smaller company w visuals
like T-ara make a strong contender they against the big 3 +scandals happen

3rd gen had TWICE domination for at least 2-3 years
until flop and change concept happen
the runner up BP steal the crown

until the 2022 IVE Love Dive dominate the whole KPOP world that finally shift to 4th Gen
of course AESPA got the 2021 like AESPA fans claim
but it should be ITZY 😑
then Newjeans fans want to claim it as of Jan of 2023

This only applies to 4th gen ggs. It took Stray Kids a long time to gain a big and dedicated fanbase, and look where they are now.

what about the opinion that first impressions count?

I generally think a group has three chances (debut + cb + cb) in order to show who they are and gain fans/ gp etc etc

after that well sure a group can blow up but that's rare right?
