As for IVE being the next blackpink. I really don’t see it. Their individual members have far too little brand rankings (minus wonyoung), plus part of Blackpink’s appeal is their solo brand reputation, which aespa does have. So far, there’s only two popular members on IVE. I don’t think aespa would have the same trajectory as twice.
However, i see IVE as a group that will consistently make international hits as well. I just don’t see their individual brand rep being as big as BP.
