Will Bts be the leader of the 4th gen if debuted this generation?

Quote from Bananapple

The 4th generation is in their 4 or 5 years now, so I just wonder if we take Bts achievements in their fourth year (2016) to now where they released wings, will they become the biggest 4th gen leader and the biggest 4th gen group compare to all the existing groups now?

Blood sweat and tears is going viral in tiktok now so i don't see why they would not blow up if they released wings in 2022 and become the #1 group again too.

Hard to say. The thing with lightning in the bottle-type phenomenon, it's all about timing. If their records all came years later what does the global landscape look like and is there a demand for their music given the conditions at the time? I don't know. I think they'd be successful and maybe the leader of the 4th gen but I'm not certain they'd be the phenomenon they are right now and certainly K-pop would not be as big today if they came years later.

If they would be, the trends they imposed were never beneficial to kpop, if not to themselves and their growth with a good discography. Stan kpop should stop associating kpop with BTS.

yes

Kind of a weird question

I think they'd still end up being the biggest group and possibly even more liked by people
