Blackpink or NewJeans? Who's responsible for Fifty Fifty success?

Neither. I think Cupid succeeded because it's an English song (isnt it the English version that is charting on Hot 100?).

doja cat

PSY, Cupid is kind of similar to Gangnam Style, except it is not Youtube hit like Gangnam Style was

Just a doja cat copycat. (Pun not intended)

Something which won't be written in the official history of KPop

50-50

Quote from Drew_B

I don't get it.

because a lot of people say it sounds like a bootleg version of Doja Cat's mega hit Say So.

I think this direction of this question could be reversed. With the success of Cupid and fifty fifty as the group crawling themselves on international path to stardom, this could spur both Blackpink and Newjeans to try to leap at this point.

If noticed very well, Cupid should bring some sense that any KPop act should prioritize making good music and not just relying on aesthetic only.

they ain't even that popular yet, they only gots one song people be liking, they is flop still, they is. ain't nobody paving them, they just one hit wonder group, next comeback no name group, nugu land, nugu life group, dats where they heading, nobody like dem, nobody fans of them... they is just lucky group, lucky girls, lucky life, bless be them, but they ain't nothing big, nobody paving for them, nobody paving.

Tiktok - Doja Cat

BTS paved the way for Newjeans?

This group reminds me of Momoland and Boom Boom. People also token stanned them even though they were nowhere near BlsckPink or Twice. But look where they ended, and look where all big 4 groups ends up. There's your answer.

hm, and i thought it was crayon pop who paved the way.

The answer is tik tok. Thank you very much.

Any group starts doing well and suddenly the conversation always turns to "who paved the way for them" lol

nope
not BP / Newjeans
or even BTS or tiktok

Fifty Fifty success
because of Cupid is a a bop/good song

If fiftyfifty's next songs flop or can't surpass Cupid, they'll end up like Momoland, Brave Girl, Crayon pop ... since nobody cares about the members.
