Aespa is both the twice and bp of this gen.
There isn't even any close competition
IVE is currently doing massively better on Spotify, Apple and in SEA and Japan. They have almost as good Youtube and Hanteo too.
IVE 's last two songs are also proving to be as strong as Savage in Korea too. So let's not act like IVE aren't a threat. The way I see it is internationally they are way way ahead of Aespa right now.
