So you finally admit in some capacity to being a success stan
He even success stans songs with great charting and despises the ones that didn’t chart that well 
Example: Girls and Armageddon by Aespa, opposed to Supernova and Next Level

Cherish performed below Magnetic by such a severe degree that it negates their initial degree of separation from their peers.
It would be like aespa dropping Next Level and then all their follow up songs charting like Girls.
I already acknowledged the accomplishment of Magnetic in the OP. Let's see if they can do it again
Relax, Wateris
Your ways of shading Aespa doesn’t make their songs flop.
Girls peaked at number 8 on melon, and Illusion had better longevity compared to girls.
Cherish actually flopped.

New jeans or NJZ will not be a top gg anymore. Even if they return they will not reach their peak again.
Now let’s go back to the topic.
Ive has better sales per album, so this metric goes to them.
Touring- Aespa had bigger tour, but Ive doesn’t have 2nd world tour, so I will say it is a tie.
YT/YT music- Aespa is best performing 4th gen gg on YT right now.
In last 365 days- I’ve got 1.25bn streams on YT music, while Aespa got 2.01bn.
Spotify streams: Aespa is also far ahead of Ive on Spotify.
Apple Music: Ive couldn’t chart a single song since 2024 on Apple Music Global. While Aespa: Armageddon - 30 days, Supernova - 89 days, Whiplash 133 days(and still counting). So you can see Aespa’s performance on Apple Music is just getting better and better.
In Japan: Aespa got 2 platinum songs(Supernova and Whiplash), and Ive didn’t even get a Gold RIAJ.
In China: Aespa has the highest revenue and digital sales among all kpop artists in 2024, so Aespa takes it.
Circle Digital points: Aespa had more Digital Points than I’ve in 2024, and Aespa has the most digital points this year so far among all kpop groups.
YT music Korea Aespa was the 2nd most streamed kpop act in 2024, while Ive was 4th.
Melon: Aespa has better performance too on Melon in 2024.
So 1.5 points for Ive
And 6.5 points for Aespa

Fits could have been much better, but they look stunning anyways

They are on their way, but not yet. Their reputation is forever tarnished in Korea unfortunately

Honestly expected this. Industry just can’t afford it to happen. Let’s see what will happen with the main lawsuit.
But I wish the best for Njs and hopefully they get out of Hybe successfully.

Their releases are extremely inconsistent in terms of quality, direction and genre.
Twice. They matured their sound and I like it more than their cutesy sound, but lately their releases have been really underwhelming such as One Spark, and Strategy. Tho MiSaMo gets very good tracks, so does their solos. So idk why can’t JYP give Twice good tts anymore.
Itzy. Their direction is a mess. In one cb they try to appeal to Korean market, in another one to international market. Like “Cake” charted decently in Korea, and they completely changed the sound for next cb and they couldn’t chart at all.
Or how they can’t even choose the main tt correctly. No sane person in their mind would choose Gold over Imaginary friend, but here we are. Sneakers killed Itzy’s international hype, but it charted in top 10(?) in Korea. At that point JYP, should’ve put clear direction, and choose what market does Itzy going to appeal.
If Itzy is going international - then Release tts like Cheshire, Loco, Mafia, Wannabe
If Itzy is going for domestic appeal - Go for Sneakers and Cake.
But unfortunately, JYP wanted to sit on 2 chairs and it backfired massively. One cb - international appeal(Cheshire), next cb domestic appeal(Cake).
This inconsistency made their momentum extremely sporadic and killed all the hype in between cbs.
Now Nmixx- hot take, I like O.O and Dice more than any Nmixx tts. I’m not liking any of their title tracks since then. But I think JYP, figured out their direction more or less, so my opinion about their current tts doesn’t really matter. Their tts are now charting more or less decently compared to other current JYP ggs. And Nmixx’s music wouldn’t appeal international market ever, so I think JYP made the right decision to focus in Korea. Their visuals also helped them a lot. Nmixx won’t breakthrough internationally, so it is right a choice for the members to fully focus in Korea.
