It's not good for future of kpop if new ggs have such poor charting.

StayC are doing fine, they’re steadily rising

Quote from SAINTROSE

I thought stayc charting wasn't impressive but Itzy is doing even worse. I hope aespa does well. We really need the new jyp and yg ngg to make kpop more interesting with the korean charts

It's too early to tell with Itzy (Somi's DD started at around 80 then made top 10), Aespa just had a huge hit with NL, and StayC just had a hit with ASAP. What more do you want? Not every song will be a hit.

We still have chances with Aespa and Stayc, but I thought Stereotype would do better, so maybe the hype for ASAP was more for the song itself and not the group, so I wonder how Savage will do.

But if the new Jyp and YG ggs debut dont do that well on the chart as their previous ggs (I mean itzy's Dalla Dalla and Bp's boombayah), it'll probably mean the public isnt that interested anymore.

Quote from foreveraespaaa

Stayc is slowly rising it actually mirrors ASAP's chart growth but just better

What charts are you following? Stereotype opened up around the mid 20s on Melon and it's now only at 31. It's stable but not rising at all.

I thought 4th gen ggs were doing well

As long as 4th gen GGs continue to grow their fanbases and eventually sell 300k, 400k, etc per comeback, they will be fine.

Demographics in Korea dont favor Kpop either, with less and less young people due to Koreans not having kids. This is probably why so many boomer favorites are doing so well in charts.

some are being dramatic.. Stayc last song didn`t do as well as Asap and Itzy isn`t doing that well on charts with the new song and apparently all new ggs have bad charting

I don't see an issue

support hot issue comeback on the 29th to save kpop then.

Quote from SAINTROSE

Somi?i'm not talking about 3rd gen gg members becoming 4th gen soloists. This is about new ggs

Somi was an example of how a song can rise in the charts over time, so it's too early too judge Itzy's performance.

Quote from Lubby00

Y’all be having an odd obsession with charts. They’re doing just fine as they are, not every idol group needs to be top 10 to do good

Especially when GGs nowadays sell way more than they used to

Right?? Thank you mg people obsessed with numbers and charts need jobs pls

tbh it makes sense looking at the demography, 4th gen groups mostly appeal to teenagers and early 20s adults at most, i heard SK has one of the lowest birth rates in the world currently so the average age of koreans is going up fast and these young groups have less and less potential consumers there.
