There are a number of acts who have debuted in the past few decades and have dozens of song ratings on this blog. I thought it would be fun to lay these ratings out in chronological order, line-graph style, and take a macro view of their careers so far. Then, similar to my “Underrated K-pop” features, I can average their ratings into one mega-score and place them in a pantheon alongside other acts.
As always, this feature has some rules of its own. I’m including any “Song Review” ratings as part of this graph, including Japanese releases and collaborations with one other artist. I’m not including Buried Treasures or solo/sub-unit releases. For the ratings themselves, I’m using the most current number on this blog, so if a song was part of a “Risers and Fallers” or “Legendary Songs Inauguration” post, that’s the rating you’ll see displayed here. That means there will still be a few ratings here and there I find slightly inaccurate, but it’ll mostly reflect my up-to-date feelings.
Finally, these scores are completely subjective. Feel free to agree, disagree and argue (that’s part of the fun!), but know that this chart reflects the opinion of only one person (me).

I’ve always thought of them as the quintessential “meh” group. Their songs are just so unforgettable. The only thing I can remember about them is Yohan’s Taekwondo background.

These guys don’t have a single good song to their name.
Really shows the flaws of just doing 7-8 for like every song, no matter how lackluster it is.
Wei has as good a score as Aespa, Blackpink and SKZ.

I do agree that the scoring method is a little flawed here, but personally I enjoy a couple of WEi songs quite a lot – Bye Bye Bye, Too Bad and Overdrive – and I’m not really a big fan of quite a few SKZ or Aespa’s title tracks, either. Taste really is subjective! Objectively all three of the groups you mentioned are far more successful, and good for them, but I’d pick Too Bad over, say, Rich Man or Lalalala, personally.

They don’t have as good a score, though. They’re in the same tier, but barely. They’ve had a consistently “fine” run of singles, which makes sense as a 7.5 (C) to me.
