Who’s the top 10 boy groups?

Right now? Overall? 3rd gen only?

Here we go again

1. BTS, EXO, Stray Kids, ATEEZ

2. The rest

Welcome to another fight!

But since we are already here I am just gonna state a fact.

BTS-billions of light years-(place whoever you think the next boygroup is)

I think to have this discussion end in peace we are gonna have to summon MassiveKpopFan

BTS, EXO, NCT

Quote from dummi

leave that man alone you summon him here of all places

he has to play peacemaker

There are so many groups now it is hard

I really dont understand why every single time this comes up a BTS fan just HAS to let us all know that they are 2 billion centuries away from everyone else. WE KNOW. Please contribute something useful

Seventeen, The Boyz, and SF9 are in the Top 10.

it isn't centuries...............

anyway it is a joke. But it seems you don't know what a joke is, but I am more than happy to give you the definition.

"A thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punch line"

since nobody is doing it, this is top 10 right now (if you want reasonings you only need to ask) :

1. BTS

2. EXO

3. NCT

4. SEVENTEEN

5. TXT

6. STRAY KIDS

7. THE BOYZ

8. ATEEZ

9. MONSTA X

10. BTOB/ NU'EST

If Big Bang ever comebacks they are surely in, but until then I dont count them as they are inactive.

If you find it annoying you can simply scroll past it.

I’m ok with any ranking as long as my fave is at their rightful place.

Anyway, I just thought of Kingdom (seeing so many Kingdom groups in top 10) from bollino post. Has the show ended and who won?

1. Stray Kids

Yeah, the show is over (since June actually lmao) and @@@30c77a9c-1221-4bde-bada-e6ac888c644a@@@ won the show.

NEO I understood your reaction, I was really wrong

1. Somi

My initial selections for the all-time top boy groups, repeated from this thread:

• Seo Taiji and Boys (1992)

• H.O.T. (1996)

• Shinhwa (1998)

• g.o.d (1999)

• TVXQ (2003)

• Super Junior (2005)

• Big Bang (2006)

• Shinee (2008)

• EXO (2012)

• BTS (2013)

1. BTS

2. EXO

3. NCT/Seventeen

4.Seventeen/NCT

5. Stray Kids

6. TXT

7. Enhypen

8. The Boyz

9. ATEEZ

10. Not sure, Treasure?

I don't know, I think the Oompa-Loompas deserve to be first. No one has achieved that level of synchronization at debut.

1. SKZ (most consistent, best male rapline)

2. TXT (coming on real strong with their quality pop rock sound, SKZ is quaking)

3. Day6 (the best male vocalist in Kpop and of course, quality guitar driven sound)

4. Ateez (best BG single since Bang Bang Bang with Answer)

yes, I agree with everyone here, it's as u say

1. BTS
2. EXO
3. SVT/NCT
4. SVT/NCT
5. TXT
6. SKZ
7. THE BOYZ

THE REST

1. BTS

2. EXO

3. NCT

4.Seventeen

5. Stray Kids/TXT

6. Stray Kids/TXT

7. Enhypen/The Boyz

8. Enhypen/The Boyz

9. ATEEZ

10. Astro (their recent album sold 360k copies)

*i'd say 5-9 are all pretty close to each other imo. With Maybe SKZ and TXT a bit more ahead of the others.

Damn this is really hard but if we’re talking about groups most active and relevant among fans of the new generation doing well, then I would say:

1. BTS

2. EXO

3. NCT

4. Seventeen

5. Stray Kids

6. TXT

7. The Boyz

8. Ateez

9. Enhypen

10. Monsta X

Honorable Mentions: Astro, Shinee?

MX's new album sold 360k, but Astro's Korean digitals are much better. So I agree

Hmm… if we include active 3rd/4th Gen then (other than Exo — they barely promote😭):

1. BTS
2. EXO
3. Seventeen
4. NCT
5. NCT Dream
6. NCT 127
7. Stray Kids
8. TXT
9. The Boyz
10. Enhypen

Quote from xoxoshawol

Yeah, the show is over (since June actually lmao) and Stray Kids won the show.

I had covid in June so maybe that’s why I didn’t really keep up? (Well that’s my excuse lol). Anyway, thanks!!

Congratulations to ya boys

the disrespect to shinee, they peaked at #16 on the 24hits chhrt this year, sold 300k+, have members everywhere on korean tv, numerous cfs, the Lee Taemin and their influence is still bigger than 90% of bgs listed

even on social media metrics they are doing as well as newer groups

SHINee beats most of the boygroups mentioned here in every possible way lol

If you consider Korea, SHINee members on individual basis do better than these groups too

10. All

9. BGs

8. Are

7. Completely

6. Irrelevant

5. Digitally

4. In

3. South

2. Korea

1. BTS

Lol using number its

1. BTS

>>>>>>>>>> - huge divide of physicals, digitals, brand rep, socials, etc

2. Exo

>>> - placed due to their digitals in previous years, despite not being on BTS or female acts levels they had hits unlike every other bg beneath them on this list and have some gp relevance

3. SVT

4. NCT Dream

5. NCT 127

> big sales with medicore digitals and song streams, svt is bigger in japan then 127 is in US so easy choice and with same touring capacity pre covid19 in the US as well

6. TXT

7. Stray kids

8. Enhypen

> not very big leads on others below but are overtaking 3-5 already in streaming despite smaller fandoms and good us/japan charting and sales - mainly txt (and en-) which is why they are above skz

9. The boyz

10. Ateez

Shinee are hard to place since they arent very active but could argue top 10 for them, 6/7 are debatable and so is 4/5

Quote from bollino

since nobody is doing it, this is top 10 right now (if you want reasonings you only need to ask) :

1. BTS

2. EXO

3. NCT

9. MONSTA X

10. BTOB/ NU'EST

Close to what I thought although I'd place Shinee and enhypen somewhere in that.

TXT and SKZ honestly is a tossup, SKZ' comebacks with their preorders look super fine but next week will tell us more!

Also The Boyz gained a lot physicals wise, they need some international platforms/Billboard recognition to climb up!
