They were discussing a question raised on MBC’s Where Is My Home yesterday
Kim Sook asked “What is the generation of idols now?”
And Wendy said “It’s the 5th generation now. IVE and RIIZE might be 4.7th generation?”
“What are the criteria about splitting idols’ generations?”
Joo Woojae said “It’s when out of nowhere, a team completely shifts the entire industry”
Park Narae said “If we’re in the 5th generation now, it means that ALLDAY PROJECT are the ones who opened it”
“ADP Craze Declares a New Era… The Beginning of 5th-Gen Idols”
“ADP Rapidly Rising as a Trend Leader… The Starting Point of 5th-Gen K-pop”
“ADP, a Sensation in Itself… Shifting the Landscape of K-pop”
“The co-ed group, a genre we haven’t seen in a while, setting a new trend”
1. I feel like every 5 years, there’s a new generation
2. It’s true that from a novelty + public recognition standpoint, ADP fits it?
3. ADP really changed the whole atmosphere. And their buzz factor is high
4. I watched the program, and that 4.7th generation was a joke
5. I thought it was ZB1
6. Are they that huge? I didn’t know they were such a sensation
7. Personally, I don’t think the 5th generation has started yet
8. Honestly, there’s only been NewJeans who really brought in something fresh since the 3rd generationㅋㅋㅋ
9. ADP? I don’t even know a single song
10. Fact: The group who made controversies about the 5th generation was ZB1. But the reality is nobody is in the 5th generation
