Groups that are successful but get ignored in general kpop discourse

seventeen for sure

Quote from godkingteshub

Either

got7, infinite, mamamoo, gfriend, sistar, wonder girls, block b, btob, super junior (to some extent as well), shinhwa, cnblue, b1a4... there are lots and lots of groups that were successful but are not given their due appreciation 'cause they are not a part of the top 10 or something

Quote from icyruios

2nd Gen GGs like Wonder Girls/Sistar/Kara/T-ara/Apink, even groups like AOA/EXID/Girl's Day.

People don't talk about them much because they don't make much noise currently.

Makes me mad how newer GG fans downplay the successes of AOA, EXID, and Girl's Day.

Especially Seolhyun, Hani, and Hyeri. Also people forget how popular ChoA and Jimin were too. Apparently Yumi from Yumi's Cells was based on ChoA.

Forgotten by i-fans specifically. BtoB was pretty popular in Korea, and no one ever really talked about them here.

Oh and Nuest too. After Produce, they got some good hype, but it kinda died after.

Seventeen are probably THE biggest anomaly in kpop.They outsell almost every single group yet nobody really talks about them

It's as if they're one enormous niche.

Most non big 3 second gen ggs, like Kara who had the second highest physical sales of the time and still hold some Japanese records iirc

Every single non big4 successful group

I dunno about this. I've seen enough Eve threads on here to last me for a thousand years. I'm .

Secret and Mblaq never get mentioned, a lot of popular 2nd gen ggs in general like Girls Day, T-ara, After Achool, etc also dont. B1a4 were always more popular in korea and are basically never mentioned

Yeah they dont get mentioned enough but still get talked about occasionally in stat things unlike others

Seventeen. They have massive sales, charting in melon, big fandom, some individual members also quite popular, etc. But carats just aren't loud ig? And idk....I rarely see their antis either, at least in AKP. Even in anon.

Honestly for their achievements, people aren't talking about them as much as they should.
