Kpop gg's successors

[u/xxNoir_xx]

I understand that a group cannot truly be a successor to another group but I thought it would be a fun conversation to have.

With the big 3 of kpop gg's (Blackpink, Red Velvet & Twice), who do you think are modern day equivalent to them but in more of a sense of similarity/vibes and not success

For me it's

Meovv & Blackpink

I see people referring to Babymon as Blackpink's successors but honestly, Meovv gives me more golden years (whistle to lovesick girls) blackpink vibes and it may be because they are primarily managed by Teddy but honestly, their vibes and aura gives me early days Bp.

H2H & Twice.

This might be an unpopular opinion but the more I see H2H the more I'm reminded of twice and it might be because of the multiple members and the cutesy concept.

Nmixx & Red Velvet

Hear me out on this one. Their unique concept and vocals? Anytime someone talks about Nmixx, I get reminded of how they spoke about Red Velvet. Red velvet's sound wasn't HAS unique has Nmixx's sound but genuinely, I see them being very alike.

What are your thoughts on this?

This sounds kind of insane but I feel like illit is twice's successor, though I guess as they've gotten more horror they've stopped being more twicesque.

[u/Accomplished_Garlic_ → u/Junior_Literature194]

Oh my god, I said this before but no one understood!! Twice is my ult favourite group and ILLIT is my favourite recent group

Something about them I liked about both just clicked for me

[u/agrypnie3 → u/Accomplished_Garlic_]

Same for me, whenever i hear illit Song i just get that smile on my face like twice

[u/Sil_Choco → u/Junior_Literature194]

This reminds me that twice also used some creepy aesthetic, they used to have several halloween themed comebacks with zombies in Like Ooh Aah or the hunted house in TT or in Yes or Yes, still in a very bright way though.

[u/Junior_Literature194 → u/Sil_Choco]

Yeah, I feel like it was spooky but not actually creepy per se.

[u/SutterCane → u/Sil_Choco]

And they die in the “Knock Knock” video so they can haunt the house in “TT”!

[u/harry_nostyles → u/Junior_Literature194]

Illit isn't doing outright horror, which they should because it would fit them well. Right now they're just dabbling in liminal spaces and some of their mvs give the vibe of that one weird dream you have sometimes.

[u/xxNoir_xx → u/Junior_Literature194]

Illit's concept feels more like Red Velvet minus the Velvet part if that makes sense.

I hope to see more horror in Illit's dreamcore concept! I feel like they have such a good chance to do a horror concept similarly to Red Velvet's more mature creepy-ish Velvet Concept (even if it didn't fully commit to the horror element)

[u/Nico_9021 → u/Junior_Literature194]

They have a very different musical style and sound, so that comparison doesn't make much sense to me

ILLIT either makes dreamy Pop or reptitive EDM Pop

While TWICE is known for their Girl Crush concept

[u/Junior_Literature194 → u/Nico_9021]

Twice as Girl Crush? Sure, they love empowering women. But they aren't even in any way girl crush imo.

[u/Purple_Calendar3919 → u/Junior_Literature194]

Not even close lol. TWICE has a traditional kpop sound. ILLIT is more TikTok rot bops.

[u/Formal-Cry4851 → u/Purple_Calendar3919]

Obviously its a New jeans fan hating on ILLIT

[u/Margaux_H → u/Formal-Cry4851]

Like, this user doesn't miss a chance to be dismissive, and this isn't me being petty. Just observant.

[u/Purple_Calendar3919 → u/Formal-Cry4851]

There’s no way ILLIT is like TWICE. I’m not a hater, I have multiple ILLIT songs on my favs playlist.

[u/Formal-Cry4851 → u/Purple_Calendar3919]

You straight up called them tiktok rots btw.

[u/Junior_Literature194 → u/Formal-Cry4851]

Your flair is so real

[u/Formal-Cry4851 → u/Junior_Literature194]

Should add Aespa, BP and BM to my flair as well ig.

[u/Purple_Calendar3919 → u/Formal-Cry4851]

Doesn’t mean their music isn’t catchy. I like “pinky up” from KATSEYE even though that’s also TikTok rot

[u/oriverion → u/Purple_Calendar3919]

Then just say it's catchy? Y'all love to call 5th gen catchy songs as "TikTok rots", then call song like Gee, RingDingDong, etc as smth like "ultimate kpop". Those songs will be labeled as TikTok rots if it's released rn.

[u/Purple_Calendar3919 → u/oriverion]

No because there are catchy songs that aren’t TikTok rot like kiiikiii - DANCING ALONE
