QuoteDisplay MoreA couple Onces vzal and TheBotter, and my good friend, ISaidISaid , are adamant that Red Velvet were a mid tier group. The crux of their argument is that they didn't sell as many albums as Twice or have as big of a fandom, so that makes them mid tier.
I find that argument ridiculous. Third generation K-Pop is easily when I was most active as a fan, and literally never have I seen anyone trying to argue RV wasn't top tier during third generation.
2nd Generation had WonSoKa
3rd Generation had Twice/BP/RV/MMM/GF
That's not a controversial or new take.
But I have Onces trying to argue that RV is mid tier because they didn't make as much money as Twice and BlackPink.
Lol.
Imagine saying the third biggest girl group of a generation was MID TIER.
But I digress. Let's poll it.
No, they are above mid tier.

Yes they were below Twice and BP, Not S tier, but A-tier.
QuoteThey had their up and downs, so you can put their group tier anywhere you want. But at the end of the day very few groups can say they had so many great songs as RV
They had some great songs, and some weird ones.
QuoteAlthough they were never on top, they have been consistently mid in terms of chart performance, fandom size and music quality.
Mid meaning not great not bad a perfectly well established artist that stands the test of time. Mamamoo can't do shit in 2024 neither can gfriend or their counterpart vivz, they have always been comparable to groups not on top but those groups didn't last and they did.
And even after a big scandal they still are able to chart mid, like the mid group they are. Which is not an insult this is something sm groups can do look at SHINee, never on top but close to it and many years after still doing stuff, aespa will likely be similar. They're much more successful in a long run than groups like OMG who are big for a year or 2, momoland etc.
Above mid.
S-Tier; BP and Twice
A-tier
RV, Gfriend, Mamamoo, OMG for a bit.
Mid tier; EXID, WJSN, Loona, Brave Girls (2nd gen?)

Probably not.
BTW, RV is one of the few 3rd Gen GGs that are active.
And some of the active ones are in unofficial hiatus*.

What does "New lineup" mean?
My guess is that they like Red Velvet so much. Red Velvet is one of my favorite groups.
What type of reveluv craziness is going on in AKP today
Nothing happened, just Red Velvet doing top tier girl group things and showing everyone how relevant they still are.
The day to be remembered:
it's RV saving the forums day today
