Groups that are called digital monsters but aren’t

I didn't know these groups were called digimons, I agree that they aren't

I actually think WINNER had the potential to be digital monsters If all their songs fit in Korean's taste.

Because I remember all their songs used to start very promising at the top of the charts, even If sometimes they didn't have too much longevity. Whenever they comeback, they used to get attention.

BTOB and iKON to get attention depended on the songs and their digital performance was pretty unstable.

itzy (?)

I agree with the ones you posted. But I will raise these groups:

ITZY

(G)I-DLE

sorry but ikon and winner were digital monsters

twice

don't hurt me Once

iKon had 3 songs that performed well, no.

WINNER were consistent until AH YEAH, then they fell off.

Itzy....... (Sorry midzy....)

Red velvet prolly

at least reveluv never call their idol a digital monster, especially on their flop era lol

unlike that...

SNSD?

Quote from Spsnowflakes

SNSD?

I think they were, Mr. Mr. was a stumbling block but Party and Lion Heart did well. Holiday did meh.

I think the question should be broken down into groups which WERE called digimons and now not

compared to groups currently called digimons but aren't

Quote from Cold_Wave

twice

twice got multiple hits though the only mid tier their recent release.

OMG FACTS!

Topped the charts!

Your faves could NEVER

Bro all these groups were digital monsters, all you all mentioned. Most of these groups aren't topping charts anymore but that doesn't mean they weren't digital monsters. They are all past theie prime.

Iirc Party and Lion Heart ranked at #44 and #59 on Gaon Year End Digital Chart, personally I won't call it "well" enough for an act who were supposed to have a digimon status.

IGAB and The Boys didnt do that well either despite being among their biggest hits , right ?

The Boys did well (it got certified for 2.5M downloads). IGAB did ok too, 1M+ downloads especially for a 2013 song.

But they rank lower on melon yearly chart (or maybe gaon) compared to other gg song like sistar,2ne1,apink and gsd ?

Also, might be off topic but, group who I think were a digimon but never get enough credit:

Miss A

Quote from girlgroupstan21

Girls Day - No

Apink - Maybe

To be fair, it depends on what you call a digital monster. The term was originally not just for groups that constantly put out smash title tracks. Acts like Sistar, 2ne1, IU, Big Bang were called that because even their b-sides would storm the charts.

Later, people started to use it for acts that consistently did well with title tracks. So among the ones discussed in here, only TWICE was ever really considered digital monsters in the latter sense.

GSD was a flash in the pan for like 4 songs.

Red velvet prolly

No one calls red velvet a digimon .

This i agree with. The way people used to praise them for getting 200M points. I think it has stopped now.

iKON weren't digital monsters but they had 3 songs that did well on the charts

love scenario, my type and rhythm ta winner did much better than iKON digitally though

Winner was once upon a time a Digimon ig

Same with twice

You’re not on SM stan Twitter prolly

This overrated attention seeking hag ofc

Those groups were at a point, digital monsters

But obviously they arent anymore

With regards to people who brought up SNSD, SNSD at their later stage wasnt as much a digital monster as their songs despite popular, were not really doing THAT well on chart as compared to their earlier stage (same with Twice now).

Quote from MassiveKpopFan

They were once a top 5 GG but the stupid dumpling incident totally killed their momentum

Same with AOA. Their historical figure controversy also killed their momentum.

Otherwise, they would still be churning out hits after hits and likely be called digital monsters
