i noticed that nowadays not only tittle track can chart high but also bside track, this isnt happening on 2nd and 3rd gen.. the only girl group that can do well with their bside track is BLACKPINK back then
for 4th gen, not only NewJeans and IVE getting #1 for a bside,
but now we have Lesserafim and Gidle having their bside track charting on top 10 melon
Thirsty by Aespa also charting on top 30 (correct me if im wrong)
and even NMIXX "Young Dumb Stupid" also chart really well for their standard !
girl group is really thriving these day
