    I was not talking about concept impact, I was talking on initial hype and popularity. And whole nmixx does take parts from aespas concept, you can’t consider nmixx a cyber group. You literally rephrased what I said, which is that groups take elements from Aespa, but it doesn’t mean they use the full concept. I don’t know what you keep trying to fight my opinions, I was not even referring to aespas concept in the first part- 😅

    1. Hard to love (the beat, the melody, Rosies vocals it represent Rosie perfectly!)

    2. Gone (I loved the beat, and Rosie having a bit more of a deeper voice, it went with the songs mood!)

    3. Solo (I loved the beat, dance break was cool, and I think the rap was also nicely composed!)

    4. Flower (Amazing beat, I thought Jisoo really fit the song, a bit underwhelming as a song-!)

    5. You and me (I loved the dance, beat of the song, and the change in melodies really made it into a song!)

    6. On the ground (I didn’t rank it longer because it reminded me of a Taylor swift song, that only focused around love, and had a bit of a generic beat. HOWEVER ROSIES VOCALS SAVED IT!)

    7. Money (Not a big fan of this song, am I the only one who felt like she was using a blaccent, she was trying to fit that aesthetic, but nonetheless I thought the dance was really good!)

    8. Lalisa (The msuic video was not bad, but the chorus, dance, and beat lacked. I found it to be super repetitive, but the overall melody was not horrible!)

    Actually a lot of people now point out Aespa has influenced Kpop in y2k, not NewJeans. Even XG follow Aespa's y2k style of futurism. So not sure if Newjeans impact anything.

    Yes, but if you read it better I said I don’t see as many groups following the Aespa trend that much, or taking elements that much. Second, when did I say Aespa had no influence regarding y2k, I don’t remember saying that. Third, NEWJEANS has also had a ton of influence, a example would be https://variety.com/2023/music…-group-charts-1235521569/, I love Aespa, but I personally don’t think you should discredit other groups success aswell! -HAVE A NICE DAY-

Third, NEWJEANS has also had a ton of influence, this article describes it https://variety.com/2023/music…-group-charts-1235521569/, and again I also see your point but I feel like you shouldn’t discredit one groups success, to uplift another, because yes Aespa has achieved amazing things, I’m not denying that. -HAVE A NICE DAY-

    I did not say new jeans whole concept relied on y2k, what I was trying to say was that they have themes or small things which root from the y2k concept IMO. I did not label it as a whole as y2k, since in reality new jeans has more of a teen concept or nostalgic concept, so I see your point of view. The nostalgia part was simply for gen z, no people back in the 2000s did not see at nostalgia, but older people nowadays (such as my sister or friends), view it as nostalgic to them. Thanks for going into it more, and I understand the concept better.

    I would say IVE is absolutely breaking records left and right, despite being from a not so well known company. I would say NEWJEANS, they are not from a big 3 company, and gained a pretty strong and loyal fan base, mainly due to they’re refreshing nostalgic concept that brings old memories, and makes you vibe. Third will go to lesserafim, even though they don’t have as much of a popular or clear place in 4th gen, they are easily one of the most successful 4th gen groups.

    I noticed that girl groups from 4th gen gain a lot more popularity faster, even under a smaller company. I feel like people have stopped relying on the big 4 (HYBE, YG, JYP, SM) as much as they used to. This however brings a lot more competition, and need for success. Therefore I would say most gg’s in 4th gen are only short-time trends, because eventually the public will get tired and just not care about that respective group.

    We’ll depends what type of teen concept. Teen crush?, teen nostalgia?, etc. But as a whole I think it’s due to Kpop fans being able to relate to the songs these groups put out, since we’ll most Kpop fans are teens, or pre-teens. Teen concepts also take from different aesthetics, and ongoing trends, which is probably the root cause of why they are so popular. When I visited Korea this summer, I noticed many people calling groups like itzy and Aespa old, and I think it’s due to more fresh and interesting concepts making an appearance in the Kpop industry nowadays.

    The problem with nmixx is that they don't have an identity, this last cmb is just a reaction of nj popularity with rnb like how their debut was a copy of aespa with next level


    What will they do all their career? Just take from any concept that is popular at the moment ? Bc that's not what other jyp gg become popular for

    You said it perfectly, groups like itzy and twice are known for having they’re own individual identities, nmixx sadly relies on what is popular in Kpop. Nmixx are by far the best vocal based gg in JYP, maybe even 4th gen, it’s sad to see they lack identity with all this talent.

    I don’t know if I can even consider them the same level, that itself is a stretch. Nmixx has a disadvantage considering the music they release, is kinda experimental, almost as if JYP is testing the waters with comeback. This ofcourse means people might not like the beat changes, or the concept. Meanwhile itzy has a pretty normal discography, with your general vibe to music. I think it’s safe to say if you compared them when they were both rookies, itzy would take the cake, and that’s simply because they have a fixed discography and concept unlike nmixx.

    Wow, congratulations to IVE I think they really did show they’re potential in this comeback, and although it was not by cup of tea personally it was still a pretty good song with a good beat. I noticed a lot of people bringing NEW JEANS into this, I find it kinda weird considering we are talking about the success of IVE, let’s simply focus on IVE and how amazing they are with out dragging others down. But yes I can see them having that happen with no promotions, and I think this will hold more in store for IVE in the near future.

    I can tell the difference and i know exactly why ive had lost every poll

    I would only trust the result in a non-kpop forum where ppl have no idea who these girls are

    I can see where you are coming from, I love both IVE and LESSERAFIM, I noticed that there are tons of people supporting IVE visuals and charisma, as they should. From my point of view I see it as preferences, and sure in some cases it could be directed hate, but I would not want to drag a group like IVE, which is my ult bias groups.

    Often the member in these types of groups are brand ambassadors for really expensive, and high-end brands. Being a ambassador comes with having to visit shows, go to showcases, and if you are brand ambassador for multiple then you’re schedule is immediately full. Take Jennie for example, she is brand ambassador of CHANEL, and CALVIN KLEIN, both very popular brands. This means she often has to model and what not, however the main occupation is to be a idol, so I see your point of view. Even Aespa is brand ambassadors, so sadly often their actual jobs are not prioritized, and they find themselves doing other stuff for other companies. It’s the sad reality of some groups gaining that success.

    Only a few in IVE standout while LSFM are all standouts. Wonyoung isn’t aging well IMO. She reminds me of those really cute and attractive kids that for some reason don’t age well and get less attractive as they get older. It’s the way they grow into their features. I’ve seen the opposite also.

    I agree, I think you phrased it very correctly. I can definitely see how only some in IVE are standouts, great post!
