Can Aespa reach Blackpink’s level in the West?

Aespa’s advantage is they have 4 members like Blackpink, small enough for Westerners to like. But so far, Ive, Itzy or Kep1er are still outdoing them when it comes to Spotify, Apple Music. With how Aespa is going, do you think they can reach Blackpink’s level in the West in terms of song recognition, individual member recognition, fashion influence?

Blackpink is an anomaly.

It's unlikely that any group will reach their level of success in the west.

Stop setting Aespa up for the drag.

Unlikely but crazier things happened before. SM also put in a lot of money to promote their groups unlike YG so the payola got to work at some point

Stop setting up aespa.

the concept of Aespa is very cringe to the West so nope

NO

If they don't change their music and concept, then no.

No unless LSM had been hit in the head and finally making music with international friendly sound like BP.

LSM still stubbornly putting SMP type of song as aespa title track with hope that it will trend in the west. He still delusional as ever.

can anon let go of aespa for at least a week?

NO

The closest group to do it is IVE but to reach BP standards it will be mostly impossible

aespa has to reach IVE and ITZY standards before thinking anything to beat BP

they can't even reach Ive or itzy level in the west let alone blackpink

To a certain extent Blackpink were right place-right time, like BTS were. Arguably Blackpink got a bit of a tow-along from BTS. Western media loves a female counterpart.

Even aside from that, no. Aespa look too "artificial Korean beauty standards". Sites like the Daily Mail would have a field day.

with that kwangya concept I don't think so

Can't wait for less to debut so people can leave aespa alone

I don’t think so too. BP is an anomaly with the YG brand and connection to fashion
