No one will lead 4th gen

Yes SKZ will lead 4th gen

K-pop will die out

Quote from ellenote

No one. Nada. Not Aespa, Treasure TXT, Ateez, etc.

There will be no leader at all, they will be popular but not as big as twice or blackpink or exo, and especially not BTS. Especially with the bad fandom names.

BTS literaly hit the lottery they are unbeatable. I don't think they will be a leader but definitely front runners like ITZY, Aespa and Treasure and TXT

If no one leads that mean the 4th gen has yet to start

Once a group overtake BTS and BP, that's the start of 4th Gen

Quote from SeniorKpopper

Lmao it will be too long if 4th gen started when a gp overtake bts bts will stay at the top for 5 years at least

That's how long 2nd Gen lasted?

People back then were quick to label AOA, EXID, Girls Day as 3rd gen but in reality they were considered 2.5 gen. Once twice started to takeover, that's when 3rd Gen officially recognised

Quote from kidsgonestray

Hehe. You didn’t mention Stray Kids so I guess they’ll be leading it!

That's what people said about 3rd gen

You're right, Oneus will utterly crush all of their competition so much so that it would be a disgrace to associate a group with the failed 4th gen, and we will streamline right to 5th gen where Oneus will lead all of kpop for years to come

They will just that I’m guessing it’s an unexpected group that takes over

I unfortunately agree. After BTS and Blackpink, the stacks and standards are hundreds of times higher than they ever were before they blew up. Some groups may get big but no one could live up to BTS or BP. I feel bad saying it but I do see kpop dropping it's presence a little bit once the 3rd gen groups are all gone.

I like 4th gen but I don't know what I'd do without Twice, Blackpink, and BTS

Soloists are the way to go

its too early to tell, there are many groups that havent debuted yet.

they may not get as big as bp or bts but skz and txt are getting lots of recognition, same with itzy

They literally said the exact same thing for 3rd gen. "Second gen peaked" "kpop will never be as big as SNSD/ Wonder girls/ 2NE1" "Third gen idols aren't better looking or talented than second gen groups"
