[POLL] Will Riize be the biggest 5th gen group by the year 2026?

I voted for maybe because potential is there and requirement for top boy group noodles is kinda low that riize is already halfway there, but SM is managing them so.... for all you knkw they might ship them to Indonesia idk

Idk depends on seunghan situation as well

They’re doing well in Korea it seems

They have potential. But personally I predict they will be more successful in Korea than overseas which would be rare since it's usually the opposite for newer boy groups. And the lack of success overseas would therefore not make them the biggest new boy group (i dont think they're 5th gen despite what many companies like to claim but lets not get into that). I also believe a boy group under an unknown company or a mid tier company will be this generation's biggest boy group. Perhaps they have already debuted or will debut next year. But who knows whats gonna happen. I feel like next year is definitely going to be interesting hmmm

maybe

They have potential

internationally? No.

Korea? Possibly.

HYBE is always 2 steps ahead as usual, debuting newer groups to compete against the ones that are doing well from outside companies

I feel like people forget that BIGHIT is coming out with a new boy group.

And ADOR is coming out with a boy group.

Both are very anticipated and come from the same exact company as BTS and NEWJEANS.

Looking at how much NEWJEANS accomplished in a year and a half, I can imagine what Min Heejin has planned for the boy group.

And Bang PD gonna put his all into his new group, because it'll be 6 years since TXT debuted for them to have a new group.

He gonna make them a BTS 2.0 with the hiphop and r&b songs.

so Riize don't have much competition now, but they will in a year or two.

Rn there's no big 5th gen bg other than riize except zb1.

Not as long other acts like ZEROBASONE, xikers, 8TURN and most likly new debuts in the next years exist

I think you forgot they also do have a pre-debut group in Japan too, or at least I saw JPop-acts doing TikTok with some boys and when I googled them it said they were signed to Hybe

I don’t think they’re gonna be competition for riize

The biggest? Their team would have to CONSISTENTLY come with some amazing tracks! Based on their track record, SME just isn’t savvy enough to deliver for the group on their own. It frustrates me because they have a good group aura. The music is just lacking cool and (B-side) vibes so far.

ADOR is def. starting off strong though.

The only competition for Riize will be the Min Heejin boy group and the Bang PD boy group.

That'll be the "Big 3" for 5th gen boy groups.

Just like for 4th gen its :

1. Stray Kids (JYP)

2. TXT (HYBE)

3. Enhypen (HYBE)

For 5th generation it'll be :

1. ADOR bg (HYBE)

2. Riize (SM)

3. BigHit bg (HYBE)

Hybe will have two top groups for every generation each time surprisingly

The Pledis boy group will definitely be behind those 3 i just named.

I could see them still in the Top 5 for 5th gen bgs as well though.
