Currently, who has the most potential to succeed in their solo in 4gen??

Only Soyeon fr
Good producer but average performer.
Her sassy girl attitude is a bit cringe-worthy.

i think karina is going to be a really successfull solo
she have a big fanbase, the gp loves her
she's a good performer and she's talented, she can rap, dance and sing
+ she gets ack'owledge a lot for her personality which is kind, caring, but funny and stupid
so i think she have every traits to get a lot of attention skills wise and she have the right personality to make this attention last in time

-
Wonyoung and Karina will chart top 20 easily on Melon Daily.
Yujin will chart top 50 on Melon Daily.
Chaewon, Winter and Soyeon will chart top 100 on Melon Daily.
I have a hard time assessing NJ individually in Korea. I know maybe more than one will chart top 100 and someone could even chart top 20, but i dunno who in particular.
-
Exactly this
-

Karina and Winter have the popularity in Korea to be at Taeyeon’s level. Ningning is already quite popular in China and has performed several times too. Even Giselle’s 2hot4u was a smash hit with Mys
she has so much potential
Also want to mention Hanni from NJ, she has amazing vocals, dance and also quite popular both domestically and internationally
-
I wonder if WY will even want to go solo, but she does sing a lot on IVE songs, she's basically a lead vocalist in terms of line distributions. Her cbar is even bigger than Yuqi/Karina/Ningning so I feel like she would have the biggest sales if she went for it.
I feel like Yujin/Karina have the best mix of being super popular and being all-rounders, so I think they definitely would do very well.

she actually made her debut before g-idle debut and it flopped
then she tried to make a comeback hoping to surf on the exposure she got for her producing skills for gidle and it flopped
even if she collaborate with bibi and youngji on one track
Soyeon is on paper solo material
but in the fact she's not, she's not even one of the most popular member in her group
and the GP doesn't really care about her they are more interested in miyeon
and personality wise she doesn't click with the gp that's why she's almost never trending when idle have a comeback

Depends on what people consider successful I guess.
As always, I think it depends on timing, luck, concept and song choice, and also having a big individual fandom.
Those with the most potential to hit big in Korea at least are IMO; Karina, Winter, Wonyoung, Yujin, Chaewon and maybe Haerin.
Dark horses for me are Liz, Hyein and Ningning (out of Korea).
-
Yuqi is already a proven solo success, if only because of her massive popularity in China.
-
-
Maybe Yuqi? She is good singer, rapper and have unique voice
-
-
None even Soyeon’s solo debut didn’t do numbers I see more like Jessie she’ll depend on virality.
Yujin I see her having a successful acting career.
Yunjin id say internationally despite the music being mid her streams are good, she charted on melon and has one of the most streamed k-pop songs this year.
People who are saying Karina and WY are really delulu there’s a difference between being popular in your group and as a soloist, winter has definitely the most potential.
-
Successful solo is depending on when the solo is gonnna drop during their peak popularity or not and also depends on how good the song actually
but usually how successful Solo debut is determined by Korean charting so I'm quite sure winter has the most potential because :
- I think SM will give her solo first since she is main vocal along with Ningning
-Among aespa, her solo is anticipated the most by Gp
- Koreans liking her vocal tone very much
-Her singing content always getting high views and most comments are written in Hangul
- She has big fanbase in Korea
-
Not having Hanni as an option is certainly a choice
-
Maybe karina winter wy or yunjn
Music wise:
Karina and winter are in sm tho, no female sm solo but Taeyeon has done well (joy a lil but did she ever get a cmb???). Sm take to long to debut their female solos or they simply don't care
Wy and yujin are extremely popular but who knows if that will translate to music
All could do well in other areas but I mentioned music bc it's the most difficult, many 2nd/3gen female idols still have cfs but they just don't chart
Nn will do well in china obv, but who knows if she will decide to have a music career there bc some leave to china to just act, go to variety and get cfs

Man, I love when Kpop stans don't want to do research and calling Idols flop, when they're in the TOP10 already. 🤣
Before I show you something. My list. Yuqi, Winter, Karina, and Hyein should be on this list. She's the best in Newjeans, and she has the potential to become a soloist like IU, not as massive but still.
I think many of you're confusing short-term success with long-term. Solo career are 1% about charting, because in Kpop, there's like 5 or 6 soloists who can be on the TOP100 on Melon or any other streaming platform. That's how Kpop works. If an Idol group soloist can be on the TOP100, it's already a massive achievement.
Anyway. This is just 2024.

Best-selling Albums on Hanteo - KOREAN SALES
How many soloists do you see? Not much. The average sales for a Kpop soloist is 300-600K. Charting is basically nonexistent.

GIDLE Yuqi and LSFM Yunjin is the only 2 idols i can see that can surpass/on par with their group as a soloist, with Yuqi on SK China and Yunjin on international side..
Aespa Karina - Music-wise not really, i can see here doing great in modeling/ variety.
Winter - Decent solo singing career, comparable to wendy i guess. Both her and Karina are in SM and they are sh*t in promoting solo careers.
Wonyoung - I can see her having a decent singing career since she's popular and modeling is her bread n butter, so ppl who will see her modeling works will probably look at her album releases + she's still young whenever IVE disband
Chaewon - She's gonna be 28 when lsfm disband so it will really depends on how the group's performance on their last year ends..
Hyein - Im not sure about her.. On one side, we see UI praising her voice but then on the other side, i cant really picture her doing solo on a big trot stage since she has this fresh/very inexperience vibe.. I guess its too early to predict
-
yuqi maybe?
-
Out of that list I think Karina has the best chance to succeed. Her being popular in China and being an it girl should help her a lot.
In terms of sales I think Yuqi and NingNing have a huge advantage due to being Chinese. Also, it helps they're both in very popular groups. Yuqi already proven she can get an insane amount of sales with her latest solo selling over 500k units.
I think many are sleeping on Miyeon because she's got a lot of talent as a vocalist and she seems to be very popular. I can picture her being similar to Tayeon in regard of being a soloist.
Overall, I think many acts from popular groups can move a lot of units, but unsure how long their solo careers will be, and sales decline once once group disband or moves on.

Def Karina and Winter. Give them a good song. Winter has more chances due to being called Taeyeon 2.0 and her voice allowing her more range than Karina. These two and Ningning in China 's futures are secuuuuureeed, baby
Soyeon is overrated in terms of public support. She IS talented, even more than everyone here but that doesn't mean she will succeed in charts and sales over others. She's the type where people will yap how she's more deserved and more talented but won't really stream her music. Also her voice is jarring and rap alone won't take her to the top. That's why she needs her members' vocals to get there.
Yuqi may succeed in China, idk idc
Yujin feels like the type to be popular but not in the way where public desperately needs her to be solo like it happened to Taeyeon. Like she will chart decently and maybe get to top 5 or even 1 if the song is liked by Koreans. But not instantly straight to the top 20. Her future is variety and acting and she's already huge in one of them
It's the opposite for Wonyoung. People will def tune in for her but she's not talented. She doesn't have a voice for solo. She needs people to sing for her so she can shine otherwise being alone highlights her weakness which is the lack of singing skills. Her voice is too nasal for singing and she already looks like the human form of panic attack during any ive encore so she will stick to acting while occasionally releasing cash grab from her fans.
Chaewon def has a chance to shine.
Maybe Hanni? I like newjeans girls but none of the popular Korean ones can be a solo material. I can already see Haerin trying acting and getting bashed. Hyein can be I guess but her face already gives Hyewon junior 2.0 in the making and she's already the unpopular one. Danielle and Hanni are the only ones who could shine but Danielle is unpopular among Koreans and Hanni is not Korean so idk if she will stick to releasing songs in Korean so only the future will tell
