what is your prediction for TOP 3 GGs a year from now, at the end of 2025?

1. BABYMONSTER

2. IVE

3. Aespa

Internationally: babymonster, gidle, aespa

Korea: aespa, gidle, ive

Quote from bartkun

remember that SM new girl group will debut

if they will have two releases then they might even get some daesang

sales will be there and digitals as well for debut because after all it's SM :)

all other will depend on the fact if NewJeans will release song in 2025 because with general public support just one song will probably grant them weeks of charting at #1

another question is if Blackpink will release song as a group in 2025

I think it would make sense to drop one before going on world tour

Yes, Blackpink will comeback 2025, but op limit this to 4th and 5th gen groups

1. aespa

2. Ive

3. KIOF

1. Aespa

2. Ive

3. KiOf/SMNGG

1. aespa

2. newjeans

3. ive

It depends entirely on how the legal battle between HYBE and NewJeans ends. Or rather how soon.

If they return in 2025, nobody is touching them.

IVE and aespa will take the next 2 spots

Any other ranking is just wishful thinking

narrowing down to 4th and 5th gen only

3. Meovv or KIOF or Gidle (depends on the song)

for the 3rd place, it's gonna be a battle between idle, kiof and meovv. the one with better songs will dominate, but i think meovv fandom will grow more and ultimatly, with proper production challenge the top 3 position and maybe even challenge aespa's place.

aespa will need to expand to the west more with a chill and cool english single as the next step in their carrier and possibly (hopefully) a coachella revenge. they would also need another top 10 korean hit song to scement their position further more.

newjeans will slay, and be indisputable number 1 and possibly even racing for the grammies.

smgg is probably gonna flop or semi flop.

ive are gonna flop hard. they haven't had a comback since the melon reform. (since melon stoped payola) so their next comback they gonna have to face reality. and in my opinion, they will hardly breach the top 50/30. maybe with a mega classic ive banger they might actually rise and do well. but that's more unlikely to happend than the opposite.

meovv can risk flopage as well without great music. (as rookie in an oversaturated market, good is not enough). and they need a more polished impactful concept as well.

and obviously, ssera is over in korea. and illit never actually took off so double double flopage for these two groups .

Op was talking about 4th and 5th gen groups. Newjeans will be 6th gen group once they debut one day

Oh.

For 5th gen I definitely think Babymonster will be at the top. And Idk but I have a gut feeling IZNA will blow up next year so I’ll put them at 2 with smngg at 3. This is wishful thinking but who knows I could be a fortune teller

1. Babymonster

2. Izna

3. Smngg

1. smngg

2. gıdle

3. newjeans

I have a feeling Smngg won’t blowup until end of 2025 I think aespa, ive, gidle, Smngg and…… NJ! With the right moved NJ can ride on their legacy like how BP does every group comeback they just need to make smart choices

I think BM can go either way as usually YG gg tend to blowup from debut so it’s hard to predict BM path. KIOF I see become Stayc level , maybe a better but not far off

ILLIT, LSFM, Meovv and Itzy can go either way depending on the songs and when they comeback

1. NewJeans

2. LE SSERAFIM

3. AESPA
