Who had the most successful year for 2022 in korea, period?

What group, not girl group, not 4th gen girl group, had the most successful year DOMESTICALLY speaking strictly?

My vote honestly does go to NewJeans. They started the year with 6 months to make their mark and a field of competition that was unreal, especially with Aespa starting the year so strong, BlackPink having a comeback this year and IVE making such a large stamp on the previous and current year. they had not one, but TWO hits from their first release and then followed that up with a second hit release that has turned out to be the 3rd strongest single on all korean charts in the hardest chart configuration to get it, on top of that they have very large brand endorsements already and theyre literally all famous. Like theyre a superstar group at this point.

I dont really follow other groups as closely though so im interested to see what everyone else says!

Like this year? Definitely Newjeans

Doesnt this feel like TWICE when they released TT like…. They were so famous it was crazy and undeniable but i feel like this time around the 3rd gen groups are still so popular but the 4th gen groups are also pretty fierce on their own and yeah

Technically speaking:

Ive isnt the only other group to get a Daesang, NewJeans did at the Asia Artist Awards AND theres still 2 more awards that matter.

And only two of those songs were released in 2022.

But IVE did have a pretty strong year ig

For Idol Group, imo

-SNSD (2009/2010)

Gee broke the record for most music show win on Music Bank iirc. Ranked no #1 on Gallup survey for 'Singer of the Year'

-Bigbang (2015)

They won 'Song of The Year' Daesang with 3 different song in that year. Ranked no #1 on Gallup survey for 'Singer of the Year'

-BTS (2020)

Dynamite stayed at no #1 Melon daily chart for 75 days, Daesang sweep. Ranked no #1 on Gallup survey for 'Singer of the Year'

Throughout history only 3 group managed to get no #1 rank on Gallup survey for 'Singer of The Year' and thats SNSD (2009-2011), Bigbang (2015), and BTS (2018-2022)

What does the Gallup poll measure?

Quote from Whi

i think op meant the most successful 2022 only, not the most successful idol year of all time lol

Oh i just understood this as them voting for BTS i guess lol

Quote from killthisfenty

The way didn’t even include twice. A crime.

Why would i they had one release as a group which is a major slowdown and a single from Nayeon? BlackPink had a release at all and BTS was still busy and is continuously successful regardless of activity

Quote from tetetete

I think u should write 2022 and domestically in the thread title because no one is reading your long post...

Thanks… i changed it.

And sorry I was hoping people could read 4, arguably 5 sentences

Quote from killthisfenty

Wait you wrote 2022 I thought overall let me sleep.

Omg the way that would have been a scalping

Quote from tetetete

It happened to me a few times

I'm always careful about my thread titles nowadays because no one reads the OP

am i getting old or are the point of forums changing from discussion to pushing your own idea out? Like is it that people dont read? That they dont care?
