Unless something more unimaginable than NewJeans' sudden debut and immediate takeover of K-Pop happens, nobody is catching them any time soon for the top spot. They're so dominant that the conversation has gotten boring, and nobody even tries to argue otherwise.
But the competition for second place is a lot more interesting with the potential for some plot twists. I've always thought IVE had Korea firmly locked down, distanced from the rest of the pack, with other groups having an edge globally, but I think the door is open for some shifts in the balance of power.
I personally think LE SSERAFIM's next full comeback will be their biggest hit digitally and they will rise up to claim the #2 spot. If they come back with something ANTIFRAGILE level, it's over.
What say you?
