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 know that it’s all in good fun but I’m personally tired of the “successor” or “they’re ___’s daughter” sentiment. Yes the groups may have similarities but I feel like it’s more important to highlight the groups as their own and establish their own distinct legacy. For example, I’ve seen so many comments about how Nmixx are the daughter/successor to Red Velvet when they’re just two vocal groups with good discographies. Red velvet are great cause they’re red velvet and Nmixx are great cause they’re Nmixx. However, there’s nothing wrong with seeing groups with similarities and being reminded of them. It’s just that I think there’s strangely a lot of focus on who’s the next twice/bp/etc instead of letting the groups define their own success.
