- The most popular girl groups each year in Korea from 2007-2023. This is popularity in Korea and not international popularity. Everything is my opinion but I tried to be as accurate as possible. I also stopped ranking SNSD after 2015 because they are past the point of being ranked. I understand this may be a controversial video. If you disagree with certain positions, please do not post hateful or rude comments. If you have questions or disagreements, please ask kindly and I will try and provide an explanation. Thank you!

So proud of STAYC 💛
Amazing video i love how you put a solo song of each year before starting the ranking and you choose the best part of the songs
Thank you!
Ive and newjeans are such a powerful duo ❤❤❤❤
I just watched the 2022 version of this video and I was wondering if you already posted the updated video 😅 here it is, 7 hours ago. Good job!
newjeans' songs are too good, it's unsurprising to see them reach where they did in 2023.
Huge respect to al these girl groups.But my fav was 2nd gens, esp Wonder Girls,KARA,After school T-ara.
I’m so proud of NewJeans and how they were able to be such a well known groups in the span of one Year❤
BLACKPINKKK FOREVER 🖤💗🖤💗🖤💗🖤💗
i think twice should be higher in 2023 they had the most successful world tour
This is a video ranking Korean popularity so I did not consider the success of their world tour. Their popularity in Korea has extremely declined in recent years unfortunately.
@@soneparadise2007 soory didn't notice it's only korea
2:28 😮
I think blackpinks world tour was alot more successful than twice
@@paruatahmar7089yeah it grossed 3 times more idk what they on
snsd💕💕
snsd, t ara and 2ne1 is my childhood😭🩷
Girls generation hold their position since 2007 to 2015
As someone who loved Kpop from the 1st Gen (yes I'm a proud old lady who still loves Baby V.O.X. and Shinhwa) the thing I learned from this video is really where all the songs that keep appearing on Instagram and TikTok come from. Like I don't know any of these groups but I've heard some of these songs a million times
Red velvet your patron saints,💋
SNSD Slaying 🫶💓
Awesome video
Blackpink is the revolution ❤❤❤❤
en resumen girl generation, twice, blackpink y New jeans fueron las mas protagonistas de este trancurso de años en el kpop .Es emocionante y nostálgico q el kpop sea tan diverso y solo se fija uno en lo mas popular ❤🎉
Mi grupos favoritos de segunda y tercera generación: GG y BP, pero debo reconocer que también me gusta Ive y Baby Monster 🥰
where did you get the rankings for each year from? i'm currently researching for a scientific paper and would love to have some more statistics to base my findigns on :)
So proud of TWICE for still being active now!
I think one of the best thing I ever did is being ONCE.
No matter what those haters say, TWICE is always a QUEEN in KPOP.
delulu, even NJ n Ive whose gen 4 r easily ate Twice
@@user-zml27325d they are twice fangirls too lol
lmao don’t lie yourself, clearly Blackpink eats them easily in popularity
@@Maffmanob nobody's talking about bp here
@@user-zml27325dare you okay bro ? Don't be delulu TWICE is one of the best girlgroup
ive and new jeans are the besttt❤
2016 - 2020 ❤
i’m probably too late to ask but in 2015 shoudn’t aoa be higher that girls day and even apink, they rank very high on gallup, had bigger album sales than sistar and girls day, and heart attack had the best digital sales for a gg song that year, plus seolhyun reputation at the time, idk just an observation
You make very good points for AOA. All of that is true. AOA did better than Girl’s Day in 2015 in every category. Although they did have Hyeri with Reply 1988. I think I put GsD higher because they were more popular during the first half of 2015 and entered that year as one of the trendiest girl groups. Ring My Bell slightly underperformed and then there was that attitude scandal.
As for Apink, I do think they are definitely higher than AOA. 2015 is considered Apink’s peak in popularity and they were considered an SNSD rival at that time. SISTAR’s weak physical sales can be excused as they are the only girl group to be a top group with a weak fandom. They are super strong in every other category (digitals, public recognition, individual member popularity).
TWICE & SNSD
I didn’t read “in Korea” 😅 I was surprised because from this side of the world (America) we don’t know many of those groups like Ive and New Jeans. BP and Twice are very very popular. Mostly Blackpink 😬
It's crazy how 2ne1 & Snsd kept occupied the top 2 spots for pretty much the entirety of their active years.
I expected the same thing would happen to Twice, but it didn't.
Please do this for boy groups! Going back to first gen if possible...
Hi, I am not as familiar with boy groups to make an opinionated video like this. But I can list the top groups of each period. H.O.T. and Sechskies ruled the late 1990s. god ruled the early-mid 2000s. TVXQ was also popular during the mid-late 2000s. BIGBANG ruled the late 2000s-mid 2010s with EXO also being popular in the mid 2010s. BTS has been the most popular since the late 2010s.
Oh My Girl mentioned
2018 - Secret Garden
2019 - SSWFL
2020 - Nonstop
2021 - Dun dun dance
2022 - Real Love
2NE1 stand out soooo much from everyone else. I respect that a lot. Good for them
The absence of 9muses hurts me a lot 😭
NEWJEANS AND TWICE 💙
STAYC 😍
Newjeanss❤❤🎉
make bg ver also pls
I am not super familiar with boy groups enough to make an opinionated video like this sorry!
But according to Korean popularity, BIGBANG was insanely popular. They were undoubtedly #1 in 2007-2012 and 2015. EXO was extremely popular and I would consider them #1 in 2013-2014, and 2016. BTS took the throne in 2017 and still has it.
6:24 😅
SO PROUD OF IVE!!!😭😭
Can you make an international one 😭🤌🏻
Sorry but it’s easier to do a Korean one based on one country rather than an international ranking. Because there’s so many variables and some groups are more popular in Asia than the West. But both are considered international. Sorry!
3:55 😂
Blackpink dropping in korea gives me some optimism for good songwriting in the future. Two questions, why was IZ*ONE absent from this 2021 list but they were in the last one? Because they technically weren't active for most of the year? Also why did you change some of the songs that you showed from that artist before? I guess More & More released before ICSP so it had more build.
I decided not to include IZ*ONE in 2021 for this video because they disbanded that year, same reason why GFRIEND was not included. I reduced the spots from 12 to 10 so the two disbanded groups got removed.
SISTAR also disbanded in 2017 but I still included them because it was a mid-year disbandment and Lonely was a decent hit. As for the song, there’s no specific reason. I just pick songs that I think represent the group the best during that year. Either song works although M&M was more popular in Korea than ICSM.
I think aespa will be #1 in korea for 2024. Supernova and Armageddon are smaashing.
Please make video of boy group also

Please do female soloists next
That is a good idea but really difficult to do! Unlike girl groups who are more easily ranked, soloists are harder. The biggest problem is that not all soloists are kpop, and comparing them can be difficult.
In my opinion, the most popular female soloists in the late 1990s were Uhm Junghwa and Kim Hyunjung. In the early 2000s, Lee Junghyun, Park Jiyoon, and Jang Nara were also popular. In the early-mid 2000s, Lee Hyori and BoA were very popular. Lee Hyori continued into the early 2010s. IU has become the most popular female soloist since the early 2010s. Ailee and Lee Hi were popular throughout the 2010s. Taeyeon is also very popular.
These are all kpop soloists. Other singers like Baek Jiyoung, Lee Sooyoung, Jang Yoonjung, and Younha are all very popular but they are not really kpop (although Baek Jiyoung’s most famous song is kpop). This is why a soloist video is very difficult to do so I won’t be making one. I’m sorry!

@@soneparadise2007 I understand. You don't have to apologise 👍
Was Everglow not as popular as they seemed? For a year or two, it seemed like they were one of the it groups.
They are known internationally, but not that popular domestically.
2:39 😢
Good video! But how is TWICE above Red Velvet, STAYC and ITZY for 2023?
STAYC had Teddy Bear and Bubble, RV had Chill Kill, ITZY had Cake
Moonlight Sunrise didn't enter MelOn Daily neither Circle digital, Set Me Free debuted top 90 and charted for 1 day only and Jihyo straight up didn't chart
Also i think LE SSERAFIM should be above aespa, yeah Spicy charted better than Unforgiven but even EPTBW outcharted Unforgiven and Perfect Night is clearly smashing Drama
Digitals is just one metric, and there are other metrics to consider such as physical sales, public recognition, and clout. Twice has the clout and public recognition of being a number one girl group for four years (2016-2019). That alone is much greater than anything ITZY or STAYC have. Yes they were doing really poorly digitally in 2023. But the group Twice is still more popular than those groups.
LSF and aespa have similar digital performance. Yes Perfect Night did better than Drama. But Drama was #2 for several weeks so the difference wasn’t massive. aespa has more physical sales, and more importantly, more public recognition. LSF is very popular, but they have the lowest public recognition of the main 5 girl groups which is why they are the least popular (by a small margin). Of course, they are still super popular! The top 5 girl groups of the 4th gen are all doing amazing and the gap is super small. There is a much bigger gap between LE SSERAFIM (#6) and TWICE (#7) than LSF and aespa (#5).
Thank you for your comment!
@@soneparadise2007Oh i understand that for Twice, but remember that they couldn't sell out KSPO Dome for RTB tour and that says a lot about their actual public recognition and fandom, thanks!
But for aespa, i honestly still think LSF is more popular considering that their physical sales mainly comes from China. And that is another reason why i don't think physical sales are a good metric since global sales are also counted in circle/hanteo, but the whole top is really good, you consider a lot of things, respect for finding information about old groups that must be hard
@@joohwangieorangefishie To be fair, KSPO is pretty hard to sell out as a girl group, especially one that is no longer trendy in Korea like Twice. Only eight girl groups (Fin.K.L, S.E.S, KARA, SNSD, 2NE1, RV, TWICE, BP) have performed a solo concert there.
Yeah you make good points with aespa. I think aespa has a small leg up from their 2021 popularity, fandom size, and Karina/Winter. I think another factor is that aespa did much better digitally in 2023 than 2022 so it shows they’re still popular. If aespa continued digitally from their 2022 performance, I would have put them below LSFM. Thank you! Yeah but I’m a huge girl group fan so it was pretty fun to make the video. We’ve been in a golden age of girl groups since 2022. It hasn’t been this good since 2009-2012. The fact that a group as popular as LE SSERAFIM can be only ranked #5 or #6 shows how good the current girl group industry is.
well.. red velvet concert in kspo dome wasn’t sold out too even their performances outside asia were not sold out 🤷🏼♀️
Please make a female and male version as well.
This is the female version. I am not as familiar with boy groups to make an opinionated video like this sorry!
@@soneparadise2007 okay!
4:05 ❤
Are you kidding me？ Why no from APink?
This is the most popular groups not songs. Mr. Chu is the song represented for Apink in 2014.
4:57 😅
I really think in 2022 RV deserved at least top 5 cause FMR was such a big hit in korea it was crazy
It was a big hit but 2022 was dominated by the 4th gen girl groups. Red Velvet’s peak in Korea was 2017-2020 when they were considered a top 3 girl group. It’s a similar situation with Wonder Girls in 2016. Why So Lonely was a big hit, especially as a senior girl group. But 2016 was dominated by 3rd gen girl groups.
@@soneparadise2007 yeah i know 2022 was a huge year for 4rth gen yes… i still think rv in 2022 was at least bogger than twice
These girls are great soldiers of S.Korea's soft power army.
Viviz is killing it ..i dont understand this list
Gfriend is included six times (2015-2020). As for Viviz, Maniac is their first real hit song in Korea and that came out this year. Viviz isn’t as popular as Gfriend but it looks like Maniac is making them more popular.
Maniac ???
Fact
ORANGE CARAMEL ???? 왜 없지???
Shut down is 2022, BP didnt have a single in 2023😮
The lack of GFRIEND in 2015 when Me Gustas Tu was everywhere in Korea and charted better that a lot of songs in 2015 list 😒😒
It's a group ranking, not song ranking. And let be real, as a group, GFriend couldn't even compete to Red Velvet.
Yeah the 2nd gen groups (and AOA/EXID) were still on top during 2015. The 3rd gen groups were all rising and most of them had hits (Mamamoo, Red Velvet, Gfriend, Twice, even Lovelyz with Ah-Choo) but their popularity was still below the senior groups. It wasn’t until 2016 that the 3rd gen groups dominated led by Twice and Gfriend.

its crazy how jyp can flop giant girl groups so easily
Like always, no one cares red velvet these days despite their amazing music. Anyone from korea, please elaborate the real popularity of red velvet in korea.
They are still care, Chill Kill was literally 3rd Gen best commercial performance song in 2023.
Among the top 3, it's Twice that seems like South Korean do not care about them anymore.
and loona?
They are not popular in Korea unfortunately.
@@soneparadise2007 ohh :( i blame the BBC
Proud of newjeans
No one can beat blackpink, they're world's biggest girl group and still on top in Korea too
As a asian, I still don't understand why BP is so popular in the world, I even can't remember their songs😅
When u keep listening to it it getting boring but it's not so bad
2:00 😅
it's bc all of their member have the great aura and charismatic, n their songs r so good it just not of ur cup of tea.
It's very simple they sell sex not literally but near of it
Whistle is the only debut song ever to get a pak in kcharts bro
You dont like SISTAR? Because their ranks makes no sense in those years.
SISTAR is very highly ranked though? They were a rising group in 2011 and their main rival was Secret. They became super popular and trendy in 2012 and was only behind the top 5 of 2nd gen. By 2013, they became a top group at #3. It wasn’t until 2016 that their popularity declined because of the rise of 3rd gen. Even then, they had a good rank in the middle.
I am confused by your question. SISTAR is ranked very high in this video and they were super popular. It doesn’t make any sense to rank them even higher.
@soneparadise2007 SISTAR in 2011 already had one of the biggest hit that year + a extremely successful sub unit aka SISTAR19.
In 2012 they were already Top 3, if not #1 for that year since SNSD didn't even made a cb + the decline of Tara. No idea why you put KARA above them. SISTAR literally started a entire new trend in that year, ended with 2 songs on the top 3 yearly chart.
@@idc8063 SISTAR was still a group rising in popularity in 2011-2012. Yes they had four hit songs during that time which contributed to their massive rise in popularity.
SNSD and 2NE1 are self-explanatory. Even without a comeback in Korea, SNSD was always the most popular in that country. T-ARA had a big fall but they were legitimately the 2nd most girl group for the first half of the year. KARA and WG’s popularity was declining by this point. You make a good argument, SISTAR could also be #4 for 2012. I put KARA and WG higher because they were coasting as top girl groups for years and were seen as these big, senior girl groups with clout.
I like SISTAR a lot and have many of their albums. I did not purposefully put them lower than what they deserve. I strongly believe in my opinion that they were a rising group until 2013 which is why they weren’t top 3 until then. A strong digital seller yes. But not top 3 in popularity overall.
@@soneparadise2007 They were a rising gg in 2010-2011 only. You giving them a rising gg tittle up to 2012-2013 is insane.
They were definitely top 2/3 in 2012 already, just check the Gallup Poll for these years, even in 2011 they were appearing already.
@@idc8063 I am giving them a rising title in 2012. By 2013, they were definitely a top group and that is reflected in this video (they are #3). SISTAR is definitely really popular, but the highest I would rank them in 2012 is #4. They were definitely below SNSD, T-ARA, and 2NE1. Yes I know they were ranked high on Gallup in 2012. They appeared in 2011’s Gallup Poll with their song So Cool, not the group.
New Jeans Still Not the most popular One thanks 😂😂😂all other's I'm agree ❤
In 2023, they are now the most popular girl group in Korea. They dominated last year with so many hit songs and the group is super popular! Internationally BP is still #1, but NJ (and IVE) were more popular in 2023 in Korea.
