aespa x STAYC「2022年GDA」の新人賞受賞から
★ The music awards ceremony “36th Golden Disc Awards” was held in a non-face-to-face format at Gocheok Sky Dome on January 8th. aespa and STAYC won the “Newcomer Award”
♦ STAYC ➡"First of all, thank you to our fans for always being by our side." "We debuted during a somewhat difficult time, and we haven't had many opportunities to perform in front of an audience yet, but it's gradually increasing. This year, we hope to perform with many audience members and become STAYC, working hard."
♦ aespa ➡"First of all, thank you to all the fans who made it possible for us to receive the Newcomer Award. This was our first time performing at the Golden Disc Awards, and we're happy to receive such a big award. We'll become aespa, so please look forward to it as we continue to grow."
aespa was the most active K-pop girls last year. The Newcomer Award was a natural choice.
It would be great if they could win other awards as well.
With this momentum, aespa will continue to be active this year.
What concerns me is that while Winter and Karina are showing off their entertaining charm, Ningning and Gisele's performance seems to be overshadowed by Winter and Karina's.
Gisele made a strong impression by demonstrating her excellent language skills during her trip to America.
If the group can become more active worldwide, it seems they could approach Winter and Karina in terms of popularity.
Ningning has great singing voice, and her double parts with Winter and her solo are strong, but she needs some other appeal besides the support of Chinese fans (even a lot of cuteness would be fine).
There is nothing to complain about with the performance as a whole.
Watching their New Year's collaboration with older girls such as Taeyeon (Girls' Generation), I felt that although their skills were high, without Karina and Winter, the impact was a little lacking.
Without them, the performance would have remained a skilled performance by veteran idols.
That was how great their "brilliance of the season" was.
STAYC made a strong impact despite debuting from a small agency.
They left the impression of "They tried hard" and "They fought well."
It seems fair to say that this is the culmination of their dedicated efforts.
However, this year they have been faced with a challenge right from the start.
This is because big new girl groups such as "IVE" appeared at the end of last year, and "Kep1er" appeared at the beginning of this year from the audition program "Girls Planet 999: Girls Festival".
"IVE" debuted in December last year, and in less than a month, they secured their position as the nation's new girl group.
"Kep1er" is also showing signs of surpassing "IVE"'s record in the early stages of their debut.
Both groups are starting off with engine power that cannot be compared to STAYC.
For STAYC to continue to be active alongside aespa and the other two groups, they will need to improve their singing and dancing skills, and probably work hard to fill small spots in roller skating in addition to public activities such as TV appearances.
Unless they take such an approach, it seems that they have no choice but to compete with the three groups mentioned above and expand their fandom.
We hope that everyone, including Yoon and Se-woong, will put in their best efforts.
