So, uhm 5th gen leaders? New phone who dis? 😅

Kiss of Life debuted #100 on MELON's TOP100 after less than a day!

ILLIT debuted #102 less than a day.

Babymonster didn't debut in TOP100, yet! Right now, they're #51 on MELON's HOT100.

If my math is correct, and we can believe these Charts, ILLIT reached #102 after 18 hour or so. Kiss of Life did it less than 10 hours.

So, funny question, who's the leader so far? Obviously, ILLIT is smashing the charts everywhere, but their album came out more than a week ago. Do you think KIOF has a chance to beat them? Right now, ILLIT is #2 on MELON's TOP100. So, KIOF has to beat ILLIT and G-Idle as well, because they're the #1.

Let's do a poll, but please try to be natural, just look at the numbers. I didn't make this thread to shade any of these groups!

You can change your vote based how KIOF will perform this week. Poll ends Sunday!

Doubt it but good for Kiof and Baemon

I don't think KIOF will reach TOP10 or even TOP20. If they can reach TOP50 that's HUGE, for me TOP100 is big, too.

I'm sure the fact that they won ROTY on KMA last year gave them a huge boost.

I don't think Babymonster will be massive in Korea, YG doesn't really care about that anymore. They were made for the western audience.

Kiof will have their StayC moment soon. I can see it happening this year

That's an interesting comparison, but I like it.

Baemon once they start promoting

Quote from Slayurfaves

I think baemon has the potential to be one of them because of their relatively bigger fandom out of the ones mentioned and we know how important it's a dedicated fandom. I feel it's gonna take a while with them they just need promotions and exposure.

They will be on Knowing Bros, but if after that and some Music Show performance they can't be on Melon's TOP100, it's safe to say that Koreans are not interested in YG anymore. This is why I wanted YG to do something different. They finally have a group (since 2NE1) who we can almost call a vocal group, but they're still wasting time on cringe rap lyrics and the same concept. SHEESH would be a great song without that ridiculous "sheesh" part and some nonsense rap lyrics.

They can be big internationally, but in Korea, I don't see them doing that If YG ignore that market. The world moved on from this "in your face acting cool rapping" style.
