Fourth-generation girl groups in the k-pop scene have absolutely been dominating the charts in 2022. It truly has become the era of girl groups as the presence of fourth-generation girls groups is more impactful than ever. These groups have all debuted in the past three years, yet they're making history and records in many different aspects, foreshadowing a bright future.
Today, we'll look at the music show wins by these girl groups. Music show wins have been becoming drastically more challenging to achieve with the increasing competition and the broad scope of music just in general. But despite these challenges, these girl groups are finding ways to achieve #1's easily, and it's something to note for them.
So today -- let's take a look at each fourth-generation girl group and see their impact on the K-POP scene today, and see how many #1's they were able to achieve!

NewJeans - 1 Song Promotion

It's important to note that in Korean music culture, the KBS/MBC/SBS wins are argued to be more valuable as they are the three big mainstream music shows in the country. Though M! Countdown has made a significant presence, for some reason -- it still doesn't live up to be as valuable as a Music Bank, Show! Music Core, or SBS Popular Song win.
Without a doubt, these groups are going to be able to offer a lot more down the road. With groups like IVE already achieving 26 wins in less than a year is a huge accomplishment, and it shows that girl groups are definitely not to be looked down upon.

"SBS Popular Song"? Oh, you mean "Inkigayo". I think this is the first time I've seen the program called by "Popular Song" since I started following Kpop (2010).
