2015 saw the return of the old order, when Big Bang defeated EXO and reached the hegemony of KPop.
However, the 2025 bid of the 3rd Generation to recapture KPop's initiative will probably not succeed because unlike 2015, when only EXO was standing up in the 3rd Gen, Red Velvet and Lovelyz not that strong, and Twice just debuting (BlackPink had not debuted until 2016),
There are too many players in the 4th Gen, like Stray Kids, aespa, IVE or @@@3e6dde26-809c-4450-abcd-2e35e86428e9@@@, as well as acts like Baemon or Meovv.
They will all fight to death to prevent the return of the 3rd Gen.
I personally think Stray Kids will crush BTS this time. The initiative has firmly passed towards SKZ.
