NiziU have won their first music show award on Show Champion yesterday, and from what I can tell, it's a historic achievement because while many groups getting first place, NiziU are the first fully non-Korean group to do it. In light of this occasion, I thought I'd make a bit of a fun article, covering show wins for the idols that Twicehub has schedules for.
| Idol | Song that won | Debut song? | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ---------- | ------------- | ------------- | ||
| aespa | Black Mamba | Yes | ||
| ITZY | DALLA DALLA | Yes | ||
| IVE | ELEVEN | Yes | ||
| IZ*ONE | La Vie en Rose | Yes | ||
| Kep1er | WA DA DA | Yes | ||
| LE SSERAFIM | FEARLESS | Yes | ||
| NewJeans | Attention | Yes | ||
| NiziU | HEARTRIS | Yes | ||
| ---------- | ------------- | ------------- | ||
| NMIXX | Love Me Like This | No | ||
| Stray Kids | MIROH | No | ||
| TWICE | CHEER UP | No | ||
| ---------- | ------------- | ------------- | ||
| VCHA | n/a | n/a |
As you can see in Table 1, every group that Twicehub tracks schedules for has wins except VCHA who haven't debuted yet. VCHA do have a pre-debut album "SeVit" which is comprised of songs from their survival series A2K. They also performed the title track "Y.O.Universe" on music shows, but they've yet to get any awards for it.
Likewise, NiziU has had many releases over a period of three years since their own survival series Nizi Project ended back in 2020. As with VCHA, none of their releases earned them any wins on music shows despite their prior presence in the Korean market.
Interestingly, the idols in the second category from the above lists fall under some extremes in terms of show wins. NMIXX took the longest to get an award, earning it a little over a year after their debut for "Love Me Like This", the title song from their third release "expérgo". Stray Kids also came in first place a little over a year after debut, however it only took them 375 days compared to NMIXX's 400 days. Despite also missing out on wins for their debut, TWICE eventually became the girl group with the most at 121, while NMIXX unfortunately endures with just one.
Will NiziU also remain at one win for now like their Korean sister group NMIXX? It seems likely, as analysis of the other shows this week all indicate that the odds are against them:
| Music show | Projected rank |
|---|---|
| ---------- | ------------- |
| M Countdown | 6th place |
| Music Bank | unranked |
| Show! Music Core | 8th place |
| Inkigayo | unranked |
