5 years into 4th gen, which gg's have grown into women groups?
With a lot of girl groups, it takes them about 4 years to change into more mature concepts and become (what I've dubbed for convenience purposes) women groups. This has happened in 2nd and 3rd gen. It took most gg's from 2007 to about 2011 to start doing mature concepts (not necessarily sexy/sensual), it took Red Velvet from 2014 to 2018 to release Bad Boy (I know they did one-off sensual songs before, but this was their first era are a proper lead track), Twice from 2015 to 2019 to release Feel Special. So many examples I won't bore you to list them all.
Now that we've come to that point for 4th gen, I can't really think of any groups besides (G)I-DLE that went that route, and even they keep kinda bordering the line imo
