ITZY, STAYC, and AESPA are all currently in Top 30 for Melon

Quote from nana18

You should know that Stayc agency is owned by BEP the producers behind Twice hit songs and many other popular acts so it's normal that they're doing well

yes but it's new agency, even Korean didn't expect STAYC to be this good in terms of vocals/skills/visuals and when ASAP blow up, and STAYDOM sales are already great it all made Kakao M to make an offer, and they bought 40% of shares in HighUp Entertainment...

and you know... if people in Korea would expect, then Kakao would buy those shares much earlier, few months back, and the price per share for sure would be much smaller than it was after group blow up.
