Did 3rd gen rewrite history on 2nd gen?

Can't speak for others, but in my country SNSD-Gee and SJ-Sorry Sorry was the one who open the Kpop gate. Them along with drama like 'Full House' and 'Boys Over Flowers' was the one who truly started Hallyu Wave in my country. I don't even think TVXQ was popular among Kpop fans here tbh.

oh ok. guess my research is wrong

Yes. Not the groups themselves, but the fans downplay.

Correction, fans of newer groups

Lee min ho is more popular than any second gen idol throughout world, when second hallyu wave truely started with boys over flowers. His fanbase is idol like. Huge. That drama was watched in every asian country for years. His endorsements are spread throughout asia.
He has huge sm following and his drama topped netflix worldwide and made profit , even though it didn't work in korea.
His global fame is that he is headlining apple+ 112 billion won drama and earning a record salary of billion won per episode
AND regarding your question BTS has already done all that and surpassed everyone
Even topped Gallup ( gp poll ) with record votes in korea. There goes your public recognition . BTS has already achieved everything.

2nd hallyu wave was started by him when boys over flowers became mega smash all over asia and many other regions.
Look at his insta followers and before china ban, he was signing 2 million usd contracts in china and had double digits cf there. And more he runs his own agency with his sister, so profit he keep! His endorsements in korea pay him top dollar, because they target other asian countries too.

This is 2010 income when he just hit big with boys over flowers. And has yet to become bigger. He took over bae yong joon's position ( winter sonata, ) and maintained it. From may 2009 to may 2010 , he earned 20 billion won! And it was start of his career at top

And even after 11 years he is at top. Now he is getting paid record billion won per episode. No korean actor is even close to his income. But he never mediaplays it like kim soo hyun about being highest paid. He is hallyu king for 12 years now!
[Naver Korea] The production cost of "Pachinko" is 14-15 billion won per ep with 8 eps & a total production cost of more than 100 billion won per season. it's estimated that the main actor will be paid around 1 billion won per episode. And show will have multiple seasons. He is in for big paychecks. He doesn't need even to work for local korean tv. Even there he gets paid the most ( never mediaplays it unlike kim soo hyun ) because of high overseas profit sharing.
