Underrated years in Kpop's 3rd generation

2016 was the year of girl groups, when GFriend, Twice , Red Velvet and IOI vied for power.

2015 was the weakest year for girl groups, with SNSD's and f(x)'s final hurrah and GFreind's rise.

2017 was the year Girl Groups began to decline because the Senior Singer became more popular than any gg.

2014 was underrated. People only talk about the tragedies, but there were lots of good comebacks and debuts

2014 was the year of SM's greatest crisis, and for GG it was not a great year. Again it seems the fates of girl groups and Iu are inversely related.
