Does peak really matter in Kpop?

yes

as an audience, I want to see the highest of peaks

but as a fan I'd choose longevity for safety

I do think, yes. Peak put the artists in a certain status. They will be remember for it.

Good point.

But both suju and tvxq have their own peak to have that longevity. That's how those groups have it as they have fans that still following them from their peak era. Just see brave girls for example, if their song didn't get viral which become the peak of their careers, they won't be here anymore and have no longevity at all.

I think both matter for different reasons. And the groups you named in the OP have both as well.

Using TVXQ and SJ as example was really not a good choie considering they really have a huge peak.

I really cannot think of any group that 8 yrs and above who don't have a peak but still currently promoting actively right now.

For bragging rights.

But any fans would obviously prefer longetivity and consistently high quality music every year.

But what groups that have longevity without having their peak of popularity? Isn't it just another nugu groups that remain unknown to most people?

If by that definition you mean "groups that are consistently mediocre imo every year"

Then those are the groups from your point of view, would try to avoid

I don't understand??

I mean group like brave girls revived after they have their peak of popularity suddenly when they almost disbanded? Suju in their peak of popularity are the most popular one in kpop but it did not mean they're not popular now. So, that's why I ask which groups have that longevity without having their peak?
