As the 4th generation Kpop girl groups are getting more popular than ever, it’s easy to notice that each have their own colors and signature feature
Up until now, Kpop has gone through 4 generations, with each group boasting different characteristics and gaining attention for their own charm. 4th gen Kpop idols are no exception to this, and after each concept, MV, and album, they keep their signature features intact.
ITZY
ITZY, who debuted in 2019 under JYP Entertainment, quickly gained public attention with their outstanding visuals and talents. As the group have made a fair number of comebacks so far, it’s easy to notice a common detail throughout all of them.
In particular, at the end of every MV, the 5 ITZY members would make their signature choreography point – the hand crown. Over time, this choreography has grown so familiar to the public, that they immediately affiliate it with ITZY.
aespa
Since their first appearance, aespa has attracted attention via their AI concept. In their comeback, the girl group’s AI version would make short appearances next to the members, adding an unique feature to their stages and MVs. To many, aespa’s worldview and concept is one-of-a-kind in Kpop, and help them stand out.
STAYC
STAYC is a girl group under High Up Entertainment, whose songs mostly include the phrase, “STAYC girls, it’s going down”. In their return with “Stereotype”, the group’s leader, Sumin, has explained the phrase meaning to be “We are going to bring something wonderful”, making it their own icon slogan.
(G)-IDLE
Since their debut, (G)-IDLE’s albums have always been named with the letter “I”. Their albums have titles like I Am, I Made, I Trust, I burn and I NEVER DIE. Audiences assumed that the “I” was one of (G)-IDLE’s ways of telling people that the album represented the group’s feelings and thoughts.
NewJeans
NewJeans is considered by the audience as a “dinosaur rookie”, operating under the management of ADOR. The girl group attracted attention because they debuted at a relatively young age. However, NewJeans has always kept an age-appropriate appearance, suitable for Korean tastes.
The girls have sported a long, black hairstyle that makes fans flutter ever since their debut. Additionally, despite wearing minimal makeup each time they perform, the five females are able to draw the audience’s attention.
