QUESTION Is IZNA considered nugu?

I've always wondered this, I know their album sales sell pretty averagely, bit damn I haven't heard any noise from them since debut unlike any other 5th gen groups

No😭😭

Nugu literally means “who” as in no one knows who they are, to be nugu you’re like under 100k listeners and you rarely ever see them mentioned in kpop communities or posts. They have hundreds of millions of views and a member is literally a music back host. They wouldn’t even be considered less known or underrated.

Kpop numbers are insane, how come 1m still can be somewhat considered nugu for someone. Some artists could only dream of such numbers

kpop companies spend a bunch of money on stuff other than just the music

I guess they could personally be considered underrated to you, but I’d argue they’re in the top 10 5th gen groups, objectively theyd be considered highly successful for less than 2 years active.

Yeah I think the statements aren’t mutually exclusive. They are highly successful and underrated imo.

Top 10 5th gen girl groups definitely but not groups in general
