I think STAYC utilized lack of major group comebacks

Damn they are rising high. BEP r doing a good job with managing the group in SK. The girls r so pretty and charming too. ASAP is a cute bop.

I agree the timing is good.. and honestly I always knew they’ll chart better just didn’t know when, the reaction from pann and theqoo are really good for them and there is a lot of interest.. hopefully ASAP keeps rising and the next cb is a hit

Arguably the most important thing for "making it" is timing. Sadly, lots of labels haven't figured that out and make comebacks at the worst time possible (I'm looking at you Weki Meki).

I think BEP was very smart to give them a comeback now. It's not too long since their debut, there are like ZERO girl groups promoting right now, and I think Korea is really in the mood for a catchy girl group comeback. It was also smart to not give them a girl crush concept because there has been too much of that. I hope they continue to rise because StayC and Weeekly gave me hope for this gen.

Timing is a factor but overall I think the "gp" actually like them. Weeekly released a song that's really good and is well received within same time frame but they aren't doing as well on the melon chart.

I just see it more as stayC being destined to be a top group, they have everything to succeed it's just to see how far they go. What high up has done so far is excellent, they are marketed very well, the girls seems to have really bright personalities, they are decent vocalists and they have BEP.

Also I don't think Everglow would have had an effect on them considering Everglow are the one of the 3(Aespa will probably be the 4th) 4th gen GG competing with Itzy internationally but can't break into the Korean market(they deserve better).
