Generation placement in K-pop is a tricky thing to discuss. With the genre's evolution over the years, K-pop's timeframe has been narrowed down into eras, from the first gen that mainly focused on local audiences, to the fourth gen where more global fans are involved.
Determining a K-pop group's generation is complicated, simply because it's difficult to distinguish the clear line between an artist's debut year and the time when they finally made relevance in the industry.
Nowadays, while fourth-gen groups are making their mark, many Korean media outlets have voiced out that the fifth-generation wave is already here.
