While most netizens agree that BTS is the top third generation boy group, there is debate between the top girl groups. Is it BLACKPINK or TWICE?
Competition between K-Pop groups always triggers debate among netizens. As recently, netizens are debating which of BLACKPINK (Black Pink) or TWICE deserves the status of the top third generation girl group.
When it comes to the top three generation boy group, most agree that it is BTS (Bangtan Boys). Apart from being successful in their own country, RM (Rap Monster) and his friends also managed to conquer the world with their proud records and achievements.
The two boy groups that are said to be the top after BTS are EXO and SEVENTEEN (II). However, the distance between the two groups' success with BTS is considered very far.
However, when it comes to the top three generation girl groups, there is a debate whether it is TWICE or BLACKPINK. These two groups are considered to be in tight competition in terms of album sales and achievements on digital charts.
Even so, many feel that BLACKPINK is much more globally famous when compared to TWICE. Their achievements in the international arena are also not canned. So what are netizens saying?
"I think people will immediately agree with male idols, but people will be divided into female idols. Is it BLACKPINK or TWICE who are the top," commented netizens. "No matter how you look at girl groups now, it's definitely BLACKPINK. Their power in the world is truly unparalleled," added another netizen.
The female idols representing their generation all received the Daesang. For the 1st generation it was Fin.KL, for the 2nd generation it was SNSD (Girls' Generation), for the 3rd generation, the only girl group to receive the Daesang was TWICE. There are many other types of Daesangs, but the fact that they received Daesangs at MAMA for 3 years in a row is legendary," said another.
"I'm not a fan of BLACKPINK, but I think they are the top girl group right now. They have always been consistent on the charts since their debut era and wasn't BLACKPINK the first girl group to sell 1 million for an album? I don't hate TWICE, but I just saw statistics and TWICE have lost their peak since 2019," concluded another. (wk/chus)
