Will a new nation’s girl group come from 5th gen?

I know, I know…nobody cares about the Nation’s Girl Group title anymore; Twice & Snsd are the past; titles like that don’t matter we only care about global impact yada yada

But…I have a sinking feeling that a gg from 5th gen could revive that.

My personal bets is that it’ll be between a new Hybe Girl Group (since they’re planning on debuting 2 one of them has to be bigger right?), Hearts2Hearts, JYP’s new girl group (Since I think they’ll go bigger this time around too), and the possible Girls Planet Season 2 gg.

Between them, who do you think will take the title?

I hope so but with the oversaturation of girl groups..... I don't know, honestly.

Most won’t last or make it out of nugudom to be fair…there’s a handful of gg debuts this year that I think don’t have what it takes to survive long term

hate all this globalist nonsense in kpop. it's lame

anyway, no real candidate. personal choice would be illit but they're too freakin' weird to be appreciated by the korean public

I too hate that every kpop company wants to debut the next blackpink. They need to go back to their roots and release the twice and snsd clones!

But seriously I could see Illit claiming that title if they put out another magnetic level hit. And imo their songs aren’t weird at all and seem like they would suit the gp’s tastes.

SNSD OT9 re-debut in 2027.

Into the Old World

yeah. another magnetic type of song would be cool but i think they missed their chance. didn't korea name twice ngg because of back to back to back mega hits

The back to back hits + Twice were literally everywhere in Korea. They had Cf deal after Cf deal and I remember Pocari Sweat being a big deal back then, Twice became the ambassadors of it iirc.

They were also on a lot of variety shows and basically Twice was just everywhere. Illit COULD have reached those heights if not for MHJ imo.

5th gen is not girl crush dominated tho ,it's main inspiration is newjeans.

None of them embody the large gg girl next door prototype that was snsd and twice so my point still stands.

Quote from BIGnorBANG

If Modhaus manages to focus on charts, whilst retaining sales, then TripleS has potential.

Other than them, possibly SouMus' NGG, as Pledis' will simply be a revenue-group.

TripleS is too experimental to ever be a nation’s gg. Part of the charm of Snsd and Twice is that even though they were large, the gp still knew all the members and Jline of Twice was simply iconic,

Sokor is not going to have a group of 24 rotational unit girls be their ngg unfortunately.
