About this world cup
Fourth-generation boy groups grew up in a K-pop world that BTS had already made global, and they responded by getting louder, stranger and more self-produced. This 64-song cup covers Stray Kids, ATEEZ, TXT, ENHYPEN, TREASURE, P1Harmony, THE BOYZ, ZEROBASEONE, RIIZE, BOYNEXTDOOR and TWS.
Stray Kids bring the noisy, genre-bending run from MIROH and God's Menu through MANIAC, S-Class, LALALALA and Chk Chk Boom. ATEEZ counter with the theatrical Wonderland, Guerrilla, BOUNCY and Crazy Form. TXT supply the emotional core with Crown, Blue Hour, 0X1=LOVESONG and Sugar Rush Ride, while ENHYPEN's Given-Taken, Drunk-Dazed, Bite Me and Sweet Venom keep things dark and cinematic. RIIZE's Get A Guitar, ZEROBASEONE's In Bloom and BOYNEXTDOOR's Earth, Wind & Fire represent the newest wave.
Fans of this generation are used to defending their group's sound against everyone else's, and this bracket is designed for exactly that. The ranking page shows how each group's catalog performs once the wider world weighs in.
