I mean yeah, they're a strong group and they're great at what they do. You can easily argue they're one of the top groups in 4th gen. It's definitely close with other groups though. Outside of the lore, all of your reasons can be said for any big kpop group. They're obviously not the only kpop group with attractive members. A ton of idols in big groups are regularly being named brand ambassadors, modeling, going viral, etc. It should also go without saying that other groups have talented members who work hard, that isn't unique to Aespa by any means. Plus almost all kpop fans are dedicated, it's fucking kpop. It's what the fans are known for worldwide. None of you're reasons you think they're "the strongest group and it's not even close" could possibly mean that.
