Nothing against the girlies, but it is amazing how Hybe has faked the interest in this group to levels never seen before with all the gigs and cookies.
Like you'd literally think that they are WW stars right now yet half of their so called "Spotify Monthly Listeners" won't even recognize them.
I think there is one very good metric to measure the group's popularity, that can't be faked or ad boosted and etc. It is the general content views on Youtube. Not the MV, song, dance practice and etc. but actual content, behind the scenes videos and so on.
If you go and check out, I mean it is not bad, but it is average.
It is better than Gidle, Aespa or Ive for example. But it is almost the same as Le Sserafim and far behind Babymonster (see where I am going? )
Babymonster is the future✔️
