Quote from akpboss

iu does better on spotify than nct

nct isn't doing that well internationally as you'd think. SM artists in general do better in korea. If you compare iu with bts in korea it's close. internationally she's very popular too but more in korea.

Pretty ironic how Nu'est started their fame internationally but they ended up becoming a domestic group

Definitely Wanna One

Quote from Weitangent

We always talk about groups that are famous internationally but not in Korea like itzy dreamcatcher nct. But which groups are more famous domestically than international.

I would say perhaps oh my girls and rain

Mostly cute groups.

Like Apink, gfriend.

I am not saying they are not known internationally, but they are more famous in Korea than internationally.

Quote from Weitangent

IU is the most well known Korean soloist in the world I think. At least in my country she is still super popular, she doesn’t have a fandom per se but everyone listens to her music

Lee Jieun is the singer who was least known until around 2019. Which is why I used to call her KPop's least useful (most useless, but KMUS does not rhyme as Klus) singer.
