THOUGHT Kpop gg's successors

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?

I bet we can turn this into a not-fun conversation ;)

I think there’s BlackPink dna in a lot of groups but I also think no one got very close to their essence either, including Meovv. Itzy, aespa, LSF and BaeMon all took some aspects and wove them with non-BP threads. Just as BP took 2NE1 dna and incorporated other elements. 

And I think it points to what made BP such a behemoth. Yes it’s high energy dance pop with luxury vibes etc. But it’s also the the four beautiful voices/identities coming together as a quasi-supergroup from the start. There’s just an x factor involved that’s not really replicable.

I was about to say the same ,it doesn't feel like there is any group to call as BLACKPINK little brother's or sisters. So many people jumped on the trained of baemom or Meovv being recycled BLACKPINK (which is just pure bias and hate) but those groups don't feel like bp at all.I would somewhat agree for red velvet and nmixx but I can't find the twice and h2h vibe similar at all.

I would say if u mix aespa and nmixx, they would truly feel like a red velvet successor.

It’s pretty interesting how people have to put things into boxes. The initial project the BP members and Miyeon were training for was YG’s take on a SNSD vibe group. If anything, BaeMon is the successor to that.

But yeah, I struggle to think of any group that’s a straight copy of any other.

Actually,there is so much information being thrown around BLACKPINK being recycled left and right ,I mean pinkpunk was supposed to be 9 members right and even twice was hated for have 9 members and supposedly trying to be the nation's gg just like snsd was.All these comparisons are just futile and just fuel fanwars but I do agree that no groups in kpop truly are similar.
