First we have Sistar who's first win was How Dare You, a song not many has ever even heard of
Boyfriend is next, a group many of didn't know even got a music show win
Monsta X, their first win was Dramarama. They had bigger hits before and bigger hits after, so the fact that this was the one that snagged the win was odd.
WJSN again, had bigger more impactful songs before, but this was the one that did it. I feel like this song is forgotten a lot too.
Cravity, who I literally say nobody celebrating this win
Then there's IVE. This is definitely the most impactful song that actually got a first win. However, I bet IVE is gonna be HUGE and is gonna make Eleven's achievements seem like nothing.
IMost of the time when groups get a first win, it's a new peak within their career or a turning point moment. I never feel like Starship artists had a turning point when they got these first wins and they just kinda happened.
