I have to say no to that :) i want IZ one to be super successful(not that it will happen but a guy can dream)

IZ*ONE will do really well imo, plus I read Blackpink won't promote much and will fly off to the US soon. And YG is on bad terms with most networks so Blackpink won't attend or perform on too many music shows. I think IZ will pick up some wins for sure.

Blackpink will definitely destroy the charts but I'm really curious to see how the physicals of IZ*ONE and BP match up this time.

Okay

But there are no bighit girlgroups so not on my list

 

[Teudoongie]

I disagree, While CJ E&M is definitely a huge company that doesn't mean that their subsidiary companies have the same influence or notoriety as say YG. This all seems a bit premature to me, YG has not collapsed. One artist fucked himself and while the company name is in the toilet watch as BP next comeback does amazing as we all know it will. What I am interested in is seeing how Big Bangs next comeback does with 4 if they do. I would agree though with Big Hit being in there though, so a Big 4 still.

I don't think that's going to work out

exactly
I am not counting Big Hit because they have 1 successful group that is now the biggest thing kpop (arguably). Sure, they have TXT but two boy groups is not enough in my list either

As a someone with YG badge, I cannot agree with this

Truly though, while I understand that companies and times change, there was sort period everyone was talking about JYP dropping out of big 3 and then Twice happened. YG is in trouble now, but if they are able to pull away from Seungri's scandal and tax evasion stuff they still have Blackpink, Ikon, Winner and soon AKMU all that are pretty high rated artist and they have their legacy too, what they have done for kpop, I think people still respect YG no matter the shadiness.

CJ ENM is hard to place since they have many companies below them and Stone music alone isn't that known I think, and to me Bighit is still too small, I think BTS is still bigger than Bighit is. So I still consider big 3 intact.
