The top three female stars of "Ladies of the World": TWICE, Taeyeon, and GFRIEND rank 1st to 3rd on the music chart

The K-Pop world is truly in the era of "Ladies of the World".

Girl group TWICE ranked first on the weekly chart for the second week of March on music site genie (www.genie.co.kr).

According to genie on the 10th, TWICE maintained their number one spot on the weekly chart for three consecutive weeks with their new song "KNOCK KNOCK", and maintained their number one spot on genie's cumulative chart for 243 hours after the album's release.

In second place was Girls' Generation member Taeyeon's new song "Fine", who is good at music.

Taeyeon's new song "Fine" is a song that features Taeyeon's attractive high notes, and maintained its number one spot on genie's real-time cumulative chart for 66 hours.

In third place was the new song "FINGER TIP" by girl group GFRIEND.

GFRIEND's new song "FINGER TIP," which transformed the group from a pure and powerful image to a girl crush (a woman who charms other women), became a hot topic as it topped the daily charts on the day of its release.

In fourth place was BTOB's new song "MOVIE," and in fifth place was Ailee's "I'll Come to You Like the First Snow."

It feels a little strange when you first listen to their new song after their comeback... hmm, maybe their last one was better...?

That's usually how it goes with newly released music.

At first, the strange feeling of not being used to it comes before your expectations.

The rising idols have the power to encourage people to "listen to it again" with just a smile (even mummies sleeping underground came out to see TWICE's singing and dancing (lol).

The girl line of TWICE, Taeyeon and GFRIEND is a perfect example of this. They are singers of the moment who can turn ordinary songs into hits and, if they're good, make them huge hits.

They say "women rule."

The deciding factor for March will be

"If it wasn't TWICE, this performance..."

"Because Taeyeon is singing..."

"GFRIEND is all about the dancing..."

So it seems that the old and new girl lines are fighting a dogged battle for the top spot.

The situation is such that none of the three can back down. It's here.

Given their respective popularity and status, none of the three can just snap and retreat.

Girls' Generation, the pinnacle of K-pop, have been dragging on with their solo activities, making it difficult to plan for a comeback as a team.

Taeyeon is working energetically and making achievements, which is a relief.

Now, she has boldly entered the battle between the two groups, who are eyeing the next generation after Girls' Generation, looking as dignified as ever.

At present, TWICE, which everyone objectively recognizes as the top, continues to work without caring at all whether they are at the top or not.

They seem to be calmly and steadily working through their packed schedule, but in fact, wherever they go, a vortex of fans forms.

Last summer, BLACK With the sudden appearance of Pink, there is a trend of seeing them as a rival to TWICE.

BLACK PINK, meanwhile, had another hit with their comeback song and have established themselves as the young girl group following TWICE.

GFRIEND has had success with every comeback, but they had a challenge they had to overcome.

How do they shed their school song image?

In Korea, where idols change so quickly, there is a concern that if they don't successfully change their concept, their popularity will end up being just a passing fad.

In that sense, this comeback attracted attention.

I believe that with their new song "FINGER TIP," GFRIEND has succeeded in changing their concept.

However, the intense popularity they gained from the school song has made it difficult for them to pursue their next activities.

However, their support base is overwhelmingly made up of people of their own generation.

It is unclear whether they will continue to receive the same support as their sons and daughters, who are taking more diverse paths in life.

It is time for GFRIEND to shed their school uniform songs.

Now that they are free to wear their clothes, it will be a difficult task for GFRIEND to decide what aspects of the social climate they will express in their music.

Even in movies and dramas, it is difficult for child actors to switch from being child actors to adult actors.

Their new song "FINGER TIP" is a hit, but it is weaker than their previous school songs.

Depending on how you look at it, it may feel like a decline has begun.

It will not be easy for GFRIEND to maintain their position as one of the top three alongside TWICE and BLACK PINK.

I hope that Taeyeon will lead her members and show us a girls' stage that will compete with the top three young groups as soon as possible.
