Is Aespa the 4th gen GG with the best potential in Japan ?

I think Sakura and chaewon’s group will do best in Japan

I think ive has a shot

winter from what I've seen is doing well there, especially after her transformation "into savage", her hair was even a trend. but I'm worried that as soon as her hair changes color, someone else might take the lead and sakura also exists.

Eleven is already eligible for a silver certification in japan. And Sakura group will do numbers too.

And lets not act as if itzy doesn’t have like 4 certification In japan alone.

itzy, ive are doing very well too and let's not forget about the Sakura gg

Quote from SooYoung

maybe in the past, they were good contestant to be the best 4th gen in japan during their debut years with dalla dalla, icy and wannabe

but their latest release prove that it's no longer the case and their hype in japan decrease, Loco was released 1 months before aespa and it's already out of Japan Billboard hot 100 japan, spotify japan and Youtube japan

meanwhile NL, savage and DCT are still in spotify and youtube japan

yeah Sakura have a lot of potential because of her AKB days and Izone days

but i was talking about GG who already debut, because i think it's dumb to already make an opinion on groups we don't have any indicator yet

and yes Ive have a lot of potential too, but because they only release 1 song i don't consider them yet because we have no clue if their next cb will be as successfull or not than eleven Not shy is certified too also. And loco is still charting on YouTube japan. Literally wannabe re entered after their Japanese debut. Aespa has proved nothing to even compete with Itzy. So far I’ve is doing better so I doubt they will decline.

Not shy is certified too, and it was after wannabe, also wannabe re entered on charts after their JPN debut.

(Loco is still charting on YouTube Japan. )

If eleven is doing great i doubt their success here will decline.

Just because Kep1er is a temporary group doesn’t take their off their amazing achievements here so yes they should be counted too.

Right now they are below Itzy, Kep1er and IVE so I don’t think so.

You cant say they have the best potential if the biggest contenders haven’t debuted yet you just made assumptions right

you act like aespa isn't just one year old by saying itzy used to do well but not anymore.

And how convenient to ignore aespa's actual competition. even if they're gonna be nr 1 in japan for 4th gen it will happen when sakura's group debuts so it's not wrong to take that into account. And ive also has a chance.

Rn you can't say aespa has the most potential, maybe later on it will become more clear

Promo time

SM hasn't had that strong hold in Japan for a long time and now they actually have a chance

all of these are achieved without japan promo:

aespa have potential to do so, however to dominate japan market aespa need to promote on that market but currently SM prefer western market.

if it is what SM prioritise than yeah they will, Winter blew up there and SM did a good job with SNSD even though they have 0 Japanese member so
