Did Brave Girls Make the Korean General Public Interested in Idol Songs Again?

So you saing its not because Hot Issue debuted on 28th of April?

How many Idol having a comeback in 'Dec 2020 - Apr 2021' vs 'Apr 2021 - Aug 2021' tho?

There might be a slight correlation but idol songs nearly always do better in the summer and it's when releases are concentrated as a result. It makes sense as kpop dominates the summer/bright sound pretty well in SK.

In 2019, post July basically every idol song flopped until Mamamoo came out with Hip in October despite a strong start to the year for idols.

maybe. but, there more comebacks in q2 though? q1 was pretty dry.

I’ve only just heard them and I like what I’m hearing so far. Maybe a new group to stan.

Possible, but i think it's more due to the lack of idol group releases. Only 1 big idol group release, Gidle, from January to April. Which allowed Celebrity and Rolling to flourish.

Once bigger groups and better songs started to come out, idol groups showed their power. Itzy, Twice, OMG, BTS, TXT, Aespa, StayC, and now RV.

This makes the most sense tbh as much as I want it to be about BGirls

if you look at the chart there are like 6 songs per average in Q1 and 11 in Q2. Brave Girls meanwhile charted with 2-3 songs who didnt leave the chart for the whole time. So they are responsible for a raise by around 50% simply by their own songs. but there is no reaon to claim they help other artists to chart. we should assume other artists did that all on their own. even if they made rollin performance or something to gain attentation its still their own work. Or interactions with like snsd taeyeon would not only have probably benefited brave girls as much as it did taeyeon but they would also be actions in which taeyeon participated as much as brave girls so both deserve the credit.

We can assume that brave girls raised the image of kpop since recently befor rollin, kpop created most headlines with bullying scandals but again there is no evidence that it reflected to the charts.
