This is the year I was waiting for, IVE is no longer a rookie Group, this will confirm my theory if "4 gen really reaches their peak during their rookie era"

If IVE succeeds this year and goes beyond what they've done in the past 2 years...then I would be wrong

Otherwise, this only confirms my theory they've reached their peak, just like Aespa did before them and just like Itzy did before Aespa.

The 7 year curse really happened, are we really going to get another curse " ? "

I think OP means fast growth.

Ive were in front of Aespa at the beginning of last year, but it seems that Aespa is in front globally now. Despite debuting earlier than NJ and Lsf and having a headstart, both NJ and Lsf have already outgrown Ive globally. And Gidle while older, is if you look at the global numbers, is in front of Ive.

imo it is because Ive is more Korea focused, whilst the other companies are more global focused, and in the case of Aespa and Lsf, had slower starts, but now are competing in the markets where they have the advantage. It doesn't help also when Ive only has 2 members that carry the group, but in all the other groups, all members can effectively promote the group.

I can see Lsf like G-idle in the near future

Idle and Fromis_9 beg to dffer.

Honestly Stayc too, for that matter (since I know exactly what your argument will be about Idle and Fromis_9).

That's another story
