Right now ITZY, cause their comeback is closer. But as soon as they comeback, It will be NewJeans

my favs

itzy, gidle, aespa, ive, lsfm

Honestly, only NewJeans. They genuinely are the only group I look forward to the most creatively and musically. I never know what shenanigans they come up with next. They are really unpredictable when it comes to concepts, soundscape, fashion, collabs, etc.

NewJeans so far has never once disappointed me when it comes to their music releases. I always end up getting goosebumps when I listen to their songs for the first times and their MVs are so captivating, that I always end up sitting with myself for a while to think about possible theories and explanations

But yeah, besides music, I’m also really interested what Ador has planned for NewJeans to expand more to the US and Japan. In the second half of 2023, NJ had their first performance in the US and promoted more in Japan which was all very successful. So I’m excited how they will fare in the two biggest music markets in 2024. This next step is about to get interesting

I'm interested in all the top GG acts but the one GG has to be XG for me. I think NJ, LSF, IVE, they're on solid ground where I don't anticipate anything to sink their popularity, at least not immediately.

XG though, whooo let me tell you, had musically a great 2023. They didn't blow up to take them fully out of nugu status, but there are legit eyes on them. 2024 can possibly be the year they blow up. I mean it feels SO close. Its right there. They got the all around talent. On exception of TGIF, every song last year was an earworm, and Winter Without You was the perfect cap to finally buy my loyalty. I WANT them to have a revelation track in 2024, just like Shooting Star made everyone take notice. So let's go.

Ive, H1key, TripleS and Le Sserafim

NewJeans, mainly how they execute thematically if amor/love will be the next concept. They've been patient to keep within the theme of young love/youthful infatuation and only teased more complexity in a cupid/observer role.

Like SM and the Boston Consulting Group, I have my notebook ready.

I'm most curious about Le Sserafim. Are they going to start a trilogy again? Or will they come back with a softer song? I'm also curious about the direction IVE will go, I don't think they've released any underwhelming songs yet. Even Baddie was very good in my opinion. Gidle has made unique music and since their debut, I've been wondering what kind of song they will make this time. I didn't say Aespa, I know a little bit of Sm style music now. Since I follow most Sm groups fondly, they always perform different genres. So they are making a light funk pop or dark creepy intense concept.

Le Sserafim > IVE > Gidle
