Times have changed a lot since the days of Gangnam Style, which came at the explosive early days of youtube, so could sustain longer with the wave reaching different countries with some delay.
Gangnam Style had 5 weeks on Gaon chart, which your Senior Singer already had with Good Day and since, others as well. Even this year both Day 6 and Aespa have done so. And then there is Ditto/Dynamite which have done 10+ weeks.. Gangnam Style is hardly the standard in SK.
Yes, for some reason the river flows different ways in SK and the rest of the world where there used to be no long term hits in SK, even the songs of Senior Singer , but now hits lasting for a long time is quite common
It is said that whiplash will remove apt from the #1 position in melon in a couple of days.
Roseanne Park, MBE, had defeated GDragon, but it seems aespa would have the last laugh.
Which is kind of amazing, since if aespa finally beats Roseanne Park, MBE, it shows the great strength of aespa and confirms it as the top act of KPop now.
I myself was swept in the APT craze, but with Roseanne Park, MBE, pulling a fifty fifty on herself, the craze slowly died down and aespa is about to have the last laugh.
Moral : When you have a worldwide viral hit, you should not hide away just because you had some previous assignment.
There was already a long standing rumor between Rose and Kang Dongwon, an actor somewhat older than her.
Since Rose is not a Korean, her past relationships will be kinda forgiven, like Koreans not caring a lot about the relationships of various Hollywood types.

There is a long history between them, not all of them positive, but I won't recount that today.
Among other things, the former owner of Edam Entertainment asked Younha what junior she was paying attention to, and Younha mentioned aespa, specifically Karina.
IU then praised the vocal abilities of Karina and aespa.
IU had defeated aespa's Savage with "Strawberry Moon", which prevented the return of SM to supremacy for 3 years.
If IU did not defeat aespa back then, aespa would have seriously challenged BTS, and SM might still be kicking today.
However IU had inflicted a very serious defeat to aespa, from which it did look like it would not recover, and it did extend Hybe's domination of Kpop for 3 more years.
3 years later, BTS is not going to return until 2026, NewJeans has imploded, and IU herself was seriously defeated by the hands of her ex Jang Kiha and Bibi.
For the first time in her career, there is fear on the eyes of the Singer who had Undermined Kpop for 15 long years.
Lee Jieun knows aespa has something to pay her back , and appears to know that her days of terrorizing KPop at will seem to be ending.
It seems aespa, and SM, have finally recovered the supremacy it lost to BTS back in 2017.
