  • Did I miss any group?


    Not Coed (KARD) and more than 2 members.

  • There are a number of smaller groups that aren't listed. Try starting here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…:South_Korean_girl_groups


    Another three obscure groups that come to mind for me are: Hot Place, I-Ren, Six Bomb


    And why are more than two members required? After all, two people can form a group. Don't Davichi or 15& deserve to be counted?


    To reduce the number, coed and duos seem to be a good line.


    I probably should have also said groups with at least 2 comebacks, but it is too late for that.


    I started the Tread more about the companies, so perhaps the limit should be that the company still needs to be active as of the time of the tread creation.


    Lots of very small companies with very little information about them.

  • I updated some of the new 4th gen groups.



    So many companies, like every one and their mother starts a company and a new group.



    I also updated some consolidations, like RWB buying up WM and DSP. Crazy how the company that was part of the Big 2 back in the days, the company they gave us Fin.K.L and Kara is not just a subsidiary of RBW.



    Kakao, CJ&E and now Hybe (Big Hit Entertainment) should be part of the big 6. They have a bunch of subsidiaries and many popular groups are under these subsidiaries, Also the company of the biggest boy group on the planet should be top of any company ranking.

  • Big six doesn't really work cause the idea of Big 3 was never about "size of the company" it was about impact of the industry. Kakao M and Loen were massive well before any of the big 3 were even around in a significant capacity, but they're not big because of their impact of Pop music, Pop is a side attribute.


    You can't sit there and tell me Sunny Hill or Gugudan are what's supposedly driving the industry. You could make an argument for Loen off of all the PRODUCE groups. But Kakao M is like saying Google is suddenly a big TV company cause they decided to get into TV this year and their Google. The pedigree doesn't bear out in the slightest especially when half the groups that would give it that were made well before Kakao M swallowed them.

  • ANS Entertaiment?

    I thought I had them on the list already, I just added Majors and ANS.

The pedigree doesn't bear out in the slightest especially when half the groups that would give it that were made well before Kakao M swallowed them.

    Kind of, with boy groups it is obviously the big 4, since BTS is under Hybe.



    Sistar was not enough on their own to lift star ship and Kakao to big 3 levels, but now, Kakao music has Ive and StayC in their subsidiaries. They also have IU, their problem is that they do not have big name boy groups.



    If we go by Boy groups, it is probably the big 4.


    By girl groups, it may still be the big 3, with Kakao trying to make it big 4.




    CJ E&M, they are for sure struggling, so yeah, they are the one that I probably have in the wrong spot.



    Maybe just the big 5.

  • Added a bunch of smaller companies, I still need to format it.
