Note: I am not including Brave Girls in this list, as even though the current lineup are all 3rd gen idols, the title "Brave Girls" has been around since 2nd gen. I'm also not including AOA or CLC as despite there being no official disbandment notice made about either group, it's clear the company has no plans to give either group another comeback. I'm also not including active girl groups from 2nd gen, such as Apink.
Following the news that DIA is about to have their final comeback ever before disbandment, the remaining number of active/current 3rd gen girl groups will fall to 11. Here is my ranking of the 12 girl groups that debuted between 2012 and 2017 (as of today).
12th. HI CUTIE - I've ranked HI CUTIE last as I've genuinely never heard of them. But the fact they can be that nugu yet still promoting is incredible! They're icons for that
11th. LABOUM - I just don't like their music. They have one song I like (Turn It On) and that's it
10th. DIA - Same as LABOUM, I only have one song of theirs I like (WOOWA) however that song is so iconic to me so that's landed them as 10th. I hope their last comeback is good too
9th. MOMOLAND - Okay so 9th and 8th sort of just switch about a lot. I don't like many of MOMOLAND's songs, but the ones I do are so good. I also like parts of their other songs but other parts ruin it so it's like a mixed feeling
8th. BLACKPINK - I put them above MOMOLAND because even though I don't love much of their discography, I like more of their discography compared to MOMOLAND
7th. Red Velvet - I feel like my list is verrrry unpopular at the moment. But the gap between 8th and 7ths is BIG. I like several RV songs. In fact, the majority of the RV songs I like, I love. But their songs are either a complete hit or a complete miss for me, which is what stops me from loving their group
6th. Oh My Girl - Similar to Red Velvet, I like many of their songs and have generally good feelings towards them. Mostly its their recent music though. Though they do have some great title tracks in the past
5th. Weki Meki - Okay another pretty big jump. We're in groups I consider myself an actual fan of now. I've listened to practically all of WeMe's songs, and many of them are great. The main issue for me is none of them have much longevity. Practically none of their music is bad, I just get tired of it very quickly.
4th. Dreamcatcher - Same as Weki Meki, I just like their music a little more ig? They're one of the most unique groups in Kpop and I love their sound. Just again, I get tired of their songs easily. But there are several that also age SO GOOD (I'm looking at you Red Sun and In The Frozen)
3rd. Mamamoo - LE SHOCK! My Ex-Ult group in 3rd?!?! That's because if I'm being honest, MAMAMOO hit their peak between 2016 and 2018 and they've been going downhill since. Sorry I'm not that big of a fan of their songs from gogobebe onwards with WAWN as the exception. It makes me sad thinking we'll never get another Decalcomanie or Starry Night but it's okay
2nd. TWICE - A group that I used to not care for but then suddenly LOVED. Almost all their title hit except Alcohol Free I'm sorry that's the only one I dislike okay, and the two Japanese original songs I love? You guessed it, they're by TWICE. As for their bsides, I don't really know or like any of their bsides pre-2019, but oh my god Eyes Wide Open has some of the best bsides I can imagine, and you know what those girls did?? Yep they released FOL AND SHATTERED MY EXPECETATIONS. But there other bsides here and there I also like (cough Love Foolish). There's probably many hidden gems I don't know in their discography I just don't have the patience to go through them all LMAO
1st. WJSN - Okay originally they were in 2nd but I've changed my mind. I've actually listened to all of WJSN's discography, and while their older bsides let me down, practically all their releases 2019 onwards have been GOLD, with like a skip on their album being an anomalie. Their title tracks are amazing, with the exceptions of MoMoMo and Butterfly, but like I can't even be mad about Butterfly because NEVERLAND IS ONE OF KPOP'S BEST ALBUMS EVER. And oh my god the SUB-UNITS??? AHHHH. I love WJSN so much, and I hope there's plenty more albums to come from them because I'M NOT SATISFIED I NEED MORE. (Also shout out to BabyFace and Miracle for being 2 bsides from pre-2019 that I adore so much)
What's your ranking?
