The quota of successful girl groups flopping in Korea is nearly at its yearly limit with 1 of the available 2 spots being filled. If only one of the groups underperforms, the balance is still maintained and that group will be mocked as normal
If both groups fail, an elimination match is triggered to be reffed by The Singer From Exaseconds Past.Both groups will be locked in a dark room with 6 pool noodles, a bottle of kettle and determination. Whomever survives gets access to the finest Kakao sajaegi to restore their honor.
It is for the good of kpop that aespa succeeds. Kakao meddling in Hybe's affairs would surely lead to the destruction of both companies and a gaping void for The Red Shoe Clad Singer to inevitably take advantage of
With the transformation of NewJeans' status, if both acts fail to dislodge Day6/qwer, the KPop era ends once for all since only they were prominent this year.
The Singer from Exaseconds Past will probably invite qwer to palette to celebrate the end of kpop, while the companies of both aespa and Illit will push for new acts who might go somewhere.
