Is 4th the generation with the biggest amount of popular korean groups on Japan?

I know 2nd and 3rd gen groups had bigger peaks, Cat. I don't even think It's fair to compare.
It's about the quantity. I counted more groups doing well in 4th gen, but maybe I'm forgeting/underestimating some groups. So I wanted to read people's thoughts.

I think that is still 2nd generation.
With amount of groups they had divided by % of successful groups I would say 2nd generation is still leading.

TVXQ did crazy numbers in Japan
From 3rd gen, Twice is building up very nicely, as is Seventeen.
There are newer 4th gen groups with a lot of potential.

In 2nd I thought about
JYJ
SNSD
3rd gen, the names coming to my mind were
TWICE
4th gen
TREASURE
But as I said, maybe I'm forgeting a group or I'm just not aware they did well.

That's the thing, it's hard to measure popularity when other gens had more groups with bigger peaks

Cause I think that there was a lot of other popular groups in Japan during 2nd gen as well, we just don't remember them because top4 are titans in comparison. For example t-ara and shinee, imo they were on the same level as popular 4th gen groups, and I just remembered the first 2 that came to mind. That's why I feel 2nd gen was bigger, it was the definition of Hallyu

Wait, I didn't know T-ARA was popular in Japan. I was only aware about their popularity in China. Interesting

2ne1, BEG (moderate success) and T-ara. Although there are also other groups who had japanese albums and could hold concerts there.
Same for some other groups who debuted between 2nd and 3rd generation, there are groups who perform exclusively in Japan like Supernova.
So I feel like 3rd generation had less successful groups in Japan compared to 2nd generation.

Also why every people need to remember that none of these 4th gen group had the impact of 3rd gen or 2nd gen
When it's not even OP question
OP is clearly talking in term of amount of kpop act doing well in japan not in term of success overall or impact 😔😔
Well that's what you'd call success, no?
I mean OP's argument seems to be based on the digipack era album sales, nothing else. How many groups are actually recognized among public like BigBang, TVXQ, SNSD, KARA?

It did, but half of the 3rd gen only EXO was reaching heights internationally and Japan wasn't their priority. When other 3rd gen started gaining momentum there, the hallyu wave in Japan was kinda dead and It was almost "4th gen" lol.
