Kpop stans suck at predicting popularity of undebuted group members

Aespa - pre debut everyone thought it’d be Karina and friends in Korea, Giselle and friends in the West

turns out Winter is the most popular in Korea and Karina in the West and it’s not ___ and friends at all

IVE - ppl said Leeseo would be left behind and unpopular due to her age and she’s behind Annyeongz ( there’s a gap obviously but among the new members she’s the most popular one )

Itzy - y’all said Yeji and friends

Ryujin Yeji and Yuna are all popular , Ryujin is the most popular one

JYPn most popular won’t be who you expect it to be I’m expecting a dark horse

my bet is on pigtail girl

Quote from okeechobee

Isn't Ningning the most popular member in the west?

But yes to your point, it's impossible to predict how fans and the gp are going to react to new idols, period.

I assumed Karina, her fancams get much more views and it feels like she’s just more well known (?) but I could be wrong, even if you’re right, thats not something people expected

Ningning seems to be a non fans favorite though. Like people who say they don’t stan Aespa usually like her
