    No one questions the fact that Jungkook has overcome G Dragon to become Kpop's greatest male soloist


    But, at least in Korea and some other places, some people are still questioning that Jennie and Roseanne Park, MBE, have not overcome KPop's Greatest Freeloader as the greatest soloist of Korean Pop.


    Do you think Jennie and Roseanne Park have overcome KPop's Greatest Freeloader, or not? What do they ahve to do overcome the Freeloader, who was declared #2 in the Gallup Actor Polls (#4 was Lim Yoona of SNSD) ?

  • GD is about to win three Daesangs at the MMA Awards. But sure, Jungkook totally overcame him. Hahahahaha.

    Well, the Freeloader has won quite a few incl this

    Buddy I don't have a clue wtf you're talking about. I just found it funny how you think JK overcame GD. And I don't even like either of them lol

  • JK does have a #1 from billboard Hot 100


    Some people say JK is bigger than GD in the world so JK overcame GD


    However although Jennie and Rose are bigger in the world some people say they still have not overcome IU, which is why I wrote this

    The same reason why some say IU is still the biggest is the same reason some think GD is still the biggest.

    I think IU and GD are legends and have enough success to be considered the top acts, but ww they lose to IU, any BP member, and GD to JK.

    In SK I wouldn't say so, GD cb was enough to show his impact and how since debut he is still the top 1 there.

    But anyways, ww BTS and BP soloists are more successful.

    I don't think any of the BP member is bigger (I'm not talking about popularity and mainstream media) in the West than IU, because she's not only an Idol, she's also an actress, the only Idol who were nominated at the Cannes.


    BP members have better album sales, but that's all. Streaming wise, IU was the most streamed soloists till BP trio released an album, but she always takes over when she releases a new album so it's basically a tie.


    Concert wise, it's not even comparable because BP members doesn't have a solo concert yet, but IU with 100K sales and biggest solo tour in the US next to Suga is enough proof till BP members do bigger numbers.


    As for GD, his concert also breaking records, his album has more than 1M sales, but JK's sales are better probably, so he has the streaming and album sales over GD.


    But it's not really a fair competition. Rookie soloists with two Giants who do this for like 20 years almost.

  • Streaming wise, IU was the most streamed soloists till BP trio released an album, but she always takes over when she releases a new album so it's basically a tie.

    Jennie did more than 3 billion streams from spotify alone this year ....IU lifetime spotify streams is 3b...unless IU released 3 apt level hit...it will be impossible for IU to surpass bp member on streaming.

    Blackpink member daily streams is 8x more than IU.

    If you are talking about korean charts then no kpop idol will ever reached IU level of fame ( unless you are GD ).

  • Is GD really top 1 in Korea?

    What's about Lim Young Wong and Cho Yong Pil?


    Both have better sales, ranked higher in Gallup Poll, appeal to wider demographics than GD.

  • JK isn’t touching GD anywhere in Korea, China or even SEA. GD has longevity, let’s see where JK is in 10 years. I doubt he’ll be as untouchable as GD in these regions. His fans will have moved on by then and he’s nothing special, so casual fans won’t be tuned in anymore...
