Do you consider GIDLE to be in the same era as LSFM/NJ/Aespa/IVE?

Idle started only a few months before Izone debuted.

How dafug folks be calling Idle a 3rd gen group yet put Izone and all the post Izone groups like Ive and LSRFM in 4th gen? Makes no sense.

Soyeon, Miyeon, Yuqi, Shuhua, and Minnie started 5 months before Yujin, Chaewon, and Wonyoung, and like 3042 years after Sakura debuted as a JPOP idol. They all in the same generation.

izone is considered fourth generation and so is SKZ and thus Gidle is 4th generation

you could call them early fourth generation if one wants but still fourth regardless

also we as fans aren't the ones "officially" classifying what gen is what gen - that's usually up to the kmedia
