So 3rd gen is finally coming to end

how is 3rd coming to end when almost no one from 4 gen is relevant

Apart from BTS, I don’t really care for anyone else. Disbandments are a sad reality of K pop.

Quote from NuclearDaddy

itzy, aespa and gidle made it to top 10 on melon 24hits charts which makes them relevent enough. Ofc not on bts and blackpink level but better than most of 3rd gen. after mamamoo, redvelvet and twice will be soon gone there won't be much left anyways.

omg and brave girls have biggest gg songs this year and thy are from 3rd gen

So?

3rd gen ends and 4th gen starts when groups that define the 3rd gen (ex. BTS, EXO, Twice, Red Velvet etc) are no longer the biggest groups people are talking about

Blackpink falls on that weird 3.5 gen along with NCT, SVT etc

3rd Gen lives on

Quote from NuclearDaddy

could be goodbye song

Sounds more like you are desperate for 3rd gen to be over

Quote from NuclearDaddy

First gfriend left and then now mamamoo wheein didn't resign. soon we will hear same about redvelvet, irene bully scandal confirmed it. Then we will hear about twice members not resigning... .only blackpink might survive.

few months ago everyone was arguing 4th has not even started but now 3rd gen is coming crashing down. it is similar to how it happened with 2nd gen, 3rd gen started in 2012 and by 2016 2nd gen groups were all gone. Now history is repeating, 4th gen started in 2018 and by 2022 most of the 3rd will be gone excluding bts and blackpink.

Don't forget BTS military enlistment and Blackpink contract renewal time is coming around 2022/2023 as well. No one is safe really.

Is it already confirmed Whee In didn't resign?

My biggest worry is EXO as their military enlistment means not all of them will have contract negotiations in 2022. And given their past statements, I'm a little nervous of what they may do.

Why is svt 3.5 when it debuted the same year as twice?

my bad, thought they debuted on 2016 too

Wheein didn't resign? Is that true?! She was growing to be my fave member of mmm.

It's kinda confusing but RBW released a statement shortly after that nothing has been decided yet.

I actually do think we're seeing the generation shift happen for girl groups right now. It's a bittersweet feeling because none of the 4th gen girl groups have caught my eye. and tbh I don't want to stan teenagers.

twice's contracts are up in 2022

but they'll almost certainly re-sign

3g will live on until at least 2025
