    Approved the thread.

    what is a global hit in kpop?

    isn’t gee the global hit they have???????

    Didn't EXO and SNSD already have some global hits?


    Or do only songs on BTS hit level count?

    Well for me Psycho was a pretty good hit internationally

    Love shot from exo and psycho from red velvet! These two songs made so much noise outside of kpop community especially love shot and it's choreo was viral everywhere. These two are the legit two global hits from SM.

    To kpop fans it means America only and screw anywhere else especially Asia aka kpop biggest market.

    global means - the whole world? As in every region of the world?

    Asia is just one area of the world?🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    There are no global kpop hits other than gangnam style and maybe some bts or bp song. Kpop is a flop genre compared to others, it's just the truth.

    How are you defining global hit? Spotify charting is a more recent metric. No SM song has hit the Billboard Hot 100. The Global 200 is a newer chart - by this, it’s Step Back, which was on the chart for 7 weeks. Psycho hit #54 on Spotify global, which is the highest of SM groups.

    Psycho and love shot. Psycho especially. The streams and YouTube views support this.

    Only Psycho. That’s why it’s SM most streamed song on Spotify

    To be fair and honest, none if you are talking or trying to compare to bp, bts or gangnam style leagues.


    However, they have massive hits in asia like gee and sorry sorry.
