If there was any other SM girl group that clearly followed in the footsteps of GG, it would be AESPA. Both groups became pillars of SM Entertainment and at their peaks were the most successful acts from the company (while being a girl group)
While they might not have the same concept, the immense success both groups have brought to the company is a testament on its own.
They’ve both stood at the top of their generations and have broken records upon records. If SNSD created the steps to the palace, FX and Redvelvet only walked the path while AESPA walked up the steps!
