Yes (14) 47%

No (16) 53%






i guess so? although survival show members groups usually start well, then fade.
although I think Weeekly having After School being so popular internationally was more surprising. Or Lisa Money getting as big as it did considering the cringe fest lyrics

I take it all back, Its Brave Girls going viral from a fanmade video
Yes. Lbr ive debut success is very close to big3 level. And no post produce group was ever this successful. Everyone thought they'll flop not do this good.
Edit : okay i forgot about brave girls. Yeah that too was a big surprise. Both of these.
I think Brave Girls is
No Brave Girls hands down
Now I want to watch Cinderella. Thanks krell.
I barely know who IVE are, so can't say anything about them....
Biggest suprise? For me that T-ara (or 4/6 T-ara) acctually came out with news songs.
Well, the strange Brave Girls thing is also suprising and a bit odd.
Maybe a bit surpising BP felt a bit low-key this year, but I guess with the solos, not a suprise. Also not a suprise, Twice is like a machine with their songs, also two really good songs this this year.
Brave Girls is the cinderella story.
I think Brave Girls is
Wasn't that much of a surprise to me tbh. Wonyoung was already well into her way of becoming 4th Gen It girl before IVE even had a name. The group was going to get attention in Korea no matter what. The group only needed a good song and other pretty members to cement the deal and that's exactly what happened.
I agree with everybody else that the Brave Girls thing was more surprising. Sakura joining HYBE also blew my mind
Not really honestly. Of all the post produce groups I knew IVE would be the most successful even before they debuted. Having Wonyoung and Yujin helped IVE garner some success right away but Starship did a really good job introducing/teasing the members. Their debut single was solid and showcased all the members equally unlike other post produce groups.
