BABYMONSTER
So far they’ve got two legit hits: Sheesh (#8) and Drip (#11). Both did really well domestically. Their album sales are high, Spotify numbers strong, and their tour is successfull.
Overall they’re showing solid growth + consistency.
Hot Sauce was underwhelming, but honestly I’d wait for their first full album before judging too much. -
ILLIT
Magnetic was HUGE (#1) — one of the biggest 5th gen moments.
But the problem is consistency… Cheerish fell off hard(#36), but their recent cb Do The Dance (#18) was a solid cb and did better both domestically + globally.
Album sales are solid, they can go way higher.
- Kiss of Life
Discography-wise, they’re solid. Midas Touch (peak ~30s), Igloo (peak #37), and Sticky (peak #3) is a major hits, and they already have three songs that crossed 100M on Spotify.
Their latest comeback underperformed but they still deserving Top 3 spot for me.

Hearts2Hearts
Really consistent growth. Not mega-hits, but both songs did well, The Chase (#26) and Style (#21) actually improved despite minimal promo.
Their domestic charting is decent, Spotify streams healthy, and album sales are really strong.
If their next cb pops off, they could sneak into my Top 3. -
Meovv
Their debut and early comebacks were underwhelming digitally: Meovv (peak #50), Toxic and Body didn’t even enter Top 100. But honestly, I blame bad promo strategy.
But Hands Up turned things around much better performance and promo.
Still, their weak debut run keeps them below H2H for now. The real deal will be their next comeback.
Honorable Mention – 6. KiiiKiii
Debuted strong with I Do Me (#10) + solid album sales, but Dancing Alone not entering Top 100. Not that strong globally (Spotify), but the potential’s there.
