- What’s with this old-fashioned post?
- What are you doing alone?
- Everyone knows this is just nonsense.
- aespa is going to Jamsil and Tokyo Dome, NewJeans is only topping the charts.
- NewJeans is not 4th gen. They seem like 5th gen on their own. They don’t fit the image of 4th gen girl groups and feel like they have pioneered a new genre called NewJeans
- Shouldn’t aespa in the same tier as NewJeans?
- NewJeans should be put in Rank 0. They are different from other 4th gen groups. The competition for Rank 1 is just for the rest. Even experts consider NewJeans as the top of the 4th generation.
- These days, when ranking something like this, the power of concerts is highly valued. That’s why ITZY is having fun touring at domes, and Kep1er also earns a lot of money by touring in Japan, so it seems fitting for them to be in Rank B… As for aespa, they could be one rank higher. Of course, I acknowledge that NewJeans is currently the top in terms of popularity. But, the sense of public recognition is different.
- NewJeans is receiving a lot of pressure
