Display MoreOP clearly states it is not career or chart comparison.
But rather tracking a historical pattern in whether it is repeating.
SNSD > Twice > Ive
It is more perception than data comparison.
Others can disagree.
It is also the aesthetic vibe.
Other successful acts like NWJN or LSF feel less similar to Twice, than IVE.
Lol how is IVE charting well with just 3 song means that they are going to go on the path like twice, anything can happen the next comeback ya. Also don’t BS with your logic, IVE is has similar vibe with twice ?
Main point is if you compare 2016 twice with TT and CU that hits both Japan and Korea with a storm vs 2022 IVE, it is still incomparable.
