A recent post on the online community Pann claims aespa is not on the same level as LE SSERAFIM, IVE, and NewJeans
The post, garnering nearly 90,000 views with 131 votes up and 232 votes down, reads:
“aespa’s episode recorded the lowest viewership rating on Knowing Bros among girl groups this year (1.634%). This year’s highest Knowing Bros rating for a girl group is LE SSERAFIM (2.8%)


Indeed, aespa can’t compete with NewJeans, IVE, and LE SSERAFIM.
In today’s global Spotify rankings, LE SSERAFIM has maintained its position for a month. aespa’s Christmas carol came out but immediately dropped out of top 200.

Melon daily rankings: LE SSERAFIM’s game collaboration song “Perfect Night” is in 1st place, aespa’s official comeback title track “Drama” is in 3rd place.
In short NewJeans IVE LE SSERAFIM >>> aespa”
