aespa is the female GG that korean soldiers want to see the most!!!!

Korean soldiers voted for "Celebrities that you want to see the most in Chuseok (Thanksgiving Day)" and aespa came in #2 after IU, making them the top girl group in the list!

Soldiers have left comment such as:

"They are the most popular girl group in the military these days"

"I even see them in my dreams"

K- Soldiers you're not special

I also want to see them

We do!!!! Hope this pandemic ends soon so that they'll finally be able to perform in front of fans

Quote from jaguars3

fromis9??? I didn't know they were that popular

I heard they're quite popular in the military as one of the members is from a military family and I believe they have already performed there. Some soldiers even did a cover of one of their songs:

Don't u feel it's kinda creepy

Now that you mentioned it, I guess so.

But I want to focus more on the fact that popular ggs in the military usually end up to be among the top groups in kpop.

Thanks for the list and the descriptions. I'm surprised that stayc is not there. ASAP was quite popular among the soldiers. Do you think the Hannam controversy affected them?

Quote from Elbereth

There should be no special treatment, Korean or not.

Quote from SooYoung

and also kinda surprise to see Aespa and Blackpink here, i know they are huge currently , but GG who usually are really popular among Military are usually GG with a very feminine or cute concept

so to see Aespa and BP being so high with their strong image is a good surprise :)

The cute concept, yes! I was actually expecting to see Weeekly and Stayc on the list.

Quote from bartkun

If I saw it right the survey was collected from 509 soldiers

so... it's some data but I still think they would need to ask at least 10 000 people to have proper results

Quote from bartkun

also survey was completed from 30th August to 5th September

this might suggest why fromis_9 is so high, because they had comeback on 1st September so soldiers were probably watching MV :D

Oh got it! Thanks for the insight.
