The Idol Star Athletics Championships (ISAC) have become a highly anticipated event in the K-pop calendar, where idols showcase their athletic prowess in a fun, competitive environment. After a hiatus, the event is coming back this year. As we gear up for ISAC 2024, the excitement is palpable, especially with the rise of fourth-generation K-pop groups that have been making waves in the industry.

While many fourth-generation groups have already participated in past ISAC events, there are a few who have yet to do so. Here are some fourth-generation K-pop groups we're eager to see their debuts at ISAC 2024.

TREASURE

TREASURE has showcased its athletic abilities in its own variety show, “TREASURE MAP,” and it would be fun to watch at ISAC. The group boasts impressive sports backgrounds: Asahi is a former soccer player, Junghwan and Yoshi have experience in TaekwoTaekwondoHyunsuk is also good at soccer. They would likely excel in e-sports.

ENHYPEN

Members of Enhypen, particularly Heeseung, Jake, and Ni-Ki, have displayed their athletic abilities in their variety show, “EN-O’CLOCK.” With Sunghoon, a former national-level professional ice skater, and Jungwon, who boasts years of taekwondo training and athletic experience, the group is well-equipped for events like ISAC.

aespa

SM Entertainment's fourth-generation girl group aespa would undoubtedly bring excitement to ISAC, with leader Karina standing out for her prowess in sports—holding a black belt in taekwondo and demonsTaekwondoer pitching skills with a flawless celebratory throw at the '2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League.'

NewJeans

We've seen NewJeans showcase their athletic prowess on Variety shows, but seeing them participate in ISAC would be truly amazing. The members are passionate about sports, with Danielle excelling in swimming since childhood and Hyein playing soccer during elementary school.

LE SSERAFIM

With Chaewon and Sakura's prior ISAC experience with IZ*ONE, Eunchae's experience with sports, Kazuha's background as a professional ballerina, and Yunjin's leadership as captain of her field hockey team, LE SSERAFIM is well-prepared for ISAC, especially in the 'Dance Sports' category.

TXT

TXT’s participation at ISAC would undoubtedly add a fun and engaging element to the championships. TXT already has “To Do,” a variety web series that features the members competing in teams or individually in various challenges and games, demonstrating their athletic abilities.

ISAC 2024 promises to be an exciting event, and if we get these fourth-generation groups competing at the event, it’ll be the icing on the cake. Let's look forward to an exhilarating ISAC 2024 filled with energy, excitement, and unforgettable performances.
