Amazing music but average performers any day
I think what you mean amazing performer is
like ITZY w super hard choreo but sometimes so-so music or bad song
while the amazing music is like TWICE era 2016-2018
only cute choreo? but amazing music
Wondergirls dance basic move? Tell Me , So Hot , Nobody but awesome song
or T-ara great song + great vocal
but basic dance choreo?
Amazing music FTW -

But isn’t that what BP, GIDLE and aespa are? The GP/Korean public are into a song and sometimes that’s girl crush and sometimes not. It’s more important that it be catchy and the hook in Cheshire isn’t that catchy. In contrast, no matter how much you dislike Sneakers, you can’t deny that hook is catchy.
(Maybe GIDLE is not girl crush - but Tomboy is a much stronger and bolder song than anything Itzy is putting out if the implication is you must be softer or cuter or poppier to succeed in Korea.)
Everyone keeps coming on about the Itzy apocalypse but Ryujin and Yeji remain in the top 50 most searched idols on Naver and Google Korea, Chaeryeong’s vid in #3 in most watched vids on YT Korea for the year, not to mention CFs with Nintendo and McDonald’s. Someone or several someone still care about Itzy. (I went to look this up because I could have sworn I saw them in the most searched..)
If it’s solely based on charts, then I don’t understand the Somi point. She is highly successful and an IT girl but her Melon charting isn’t always that great either (IIRC Dumb Dumb did well, but the next one was middle of the chart) which kind of gets to the point that success is more than where you charted on Korea’s now second largest music platform.
IVE concept is not girl crush
there is a reason Love Dive beat Tomboy
it gen public taste
while why I try put
Somi inclusion to ITZY
is base on how popular she is back on Produce era or even Sixteen era
Somi combo of visual, talent and charisma in group
could top any KPOP idol in GG history
her only drawback is Korean dislike /bias against mix raced
if Somi is debut as a member of ITZY
I don't think Wonyoung will get all the attention
as the a current 4th Gen IT Girl
it will divided or more favor to Big3/Big4 company like JYP
ITZY w Somi and Lia english skills will get more advantage promoting in the West -
Their music is the problem
that is another problem of them
50/50 success rate for their song -
They lost their hype or momentum
since or after Wannabe era
I think the gen public /korean public not into girl crush
if you want to be the top girl group in Korea needed a GP support
aside from your own fandom
and confusing or lack of face of the group promotion
Lia had bullying scandal?
Ryujin girl crush image appeal to fan girls but lack of fanboys and gen public support
Yuna lack of individual appeal to be IT Girl aside from her visual?
then why not push Yeji as a face of the group
one thing this ITZY lack of individual or IT Girl material that is where they miss Jeon Somi badly.. -

yes...and hopefully I like some old school or traditional way
I believe back then and wonder how could he enter on our own house
he is some magical being from north pole , male version of a fairy but only come to visit during Xmas Eve
until one day me and my siblings caught my parent put gifts on under christmas Tree and socks
end up in laughter still a happy moment
still as long as possible
I want to keep the old tradition and make Santa a mystery to all kids
a little bit of innocence and mystery make a Christmas more exciting -
