Here’s How Many Wins Each 4th Generation Girl Group Has Scored Since Debut

From IVE to NMIXX, here’s how it’s going.

The 4th generation of girl groups in K-Pop is proving to be a strong bunch. Following in the footsteps of their sunbaes, these girls have all been labeled as “monster rookies” from the get-go. It is not an exaggeration to say that each of these groups has driven heavy buzz right from their debut. With most of these groups in their first or second-year debut, here’s how many wins they’ve scored so far.

1. IVE

IVE’s definitely in the lead in terms of wins. They’re not even a full year into their career but they already have 26 wins under their belt. In the short 9 months, they’ve had a total of 3 comebacks and each one is more successful than the last.

2. STAYC

As one of the few K-Pop groups made purely out of Korean members, they rose to the top based on their own talent and skills. Fans are especially proud of them as they come from a small agency. They’ve had 5 promotions and 11 wins in these 2 years.

3. aespa

aespa made a splash with “Black Mamba”. Their shocking AI concept was fresh and new in the world of K-Pop, winning over fans who are familiar with the metaverse. They’ve had 5 promotions and 11 wins. But fans find it a pity that they’ve only had 5 title tracks so far in their career and demand for more of the girls.

4. Newjeans

Hot rookies to watch out for, the young team barely debuted for a week before they clinched their first win. They’re the name on everyone’s lips as they sweep up fans. Despite only having one song so far, they already have 5 wins under their belt.

5. LE SSERAFIM

LE SSERAFIM also only has released one song so far, “Fearless”. Despite this, they’ve had 4 wins in the short three weeks they promoted their song. The catchy tune and dance were everywhere!

6. Kep1er

Kep1er had a strong start with their debut through Girls Planet 999. Since then, they’ve released two title songs in Korean, leading them to 4 wins in total. Not bad for a rookie group!

7. NMIXX

NMIXX’s debut song “O.O” was met with divided opinions. While there was absolutely zero question about the girls’ skills, visuals, and potential, the song was less than public-friendly and failed to climb the charts. Despite 0 wins, the girls are always highly mentioned on social media for their infinite talent.

With comeback season around the corner for many of these groups, here’s wishing them even greater success!
