Do you think any currently active SM groups have the capability of being as popular as SNSD/EXO?

Rooting for Aespa

If Sm pushes nct dream they can beat Exo in term to likability within gp, also what makes Exo is that every member holds a league on his own so that aspect is hard to beat

Quote from harambelives

SNSD, nah. They were on in a league of their own

Exo. Likely no but aren't NCT putting up similar album numbers as them? Digitally they are further behind so if they get some public friendly songs here and there they may have a chance?

EXO had more top 10 songs from the Miracles in December special album then all NCT units combined . . . they were/are way more popular with the GP than NCT

They are capable

The question is does SM bother to give them public friendly songs?
