Disclaimer: as long as blackpink is active noone can touch them. Love my girls
Ive is receiving so much love overseas and in korea. Now that they signed with capitol records there is basically no problems with hitting it big in the US/West. Their songs are suitable for the west and the members are so appealing.
Their album sales keep increasing and that is such a wow-moment for me lol.
They are topping the charts in korea, eleven is still on #11 on melon (or so) and love dive #2. If Big bang didn't come back at the same time they would have gotten that PAK easily.
Wonyoung is the 4th Gen it girl and her presence is amazing.
Their biggest rival is aespa but i feel like they surpassed aespa. I know aespa got next level and a pak but i feel after that ive debuted and the increasing success they are either on the same level as aespa or above (slightly).
Ive spotify streams are really impressive and they topped the japanese charts
