Was randomly scrolling through twitter and saw this update and ngl I was kinda surprised
Congrats to NCT Wish they have some good bops but this led me to think, 5th gen boy groups in general seem to be charting much better than the 4th gen boy groups did before them, especially in their rookie years!
You have groups like RIIZE, TWS, Boy Next Door, ZB1, PLAAVE and now NCT Wish all charting within their first year of debut. NCT WISH is mostly a Japanese group too with 4/6 members being Japanese yet are charting better than some of the more established 4th gen boy groups.
It’s great to see a boy group revival in Korea but my question is, what shifted?
