Not sure which gen the year 2003 falls under becuz it was after the 1st gen group hype died down and before 2nd gen truly took over. I downloaded Lee Hyori - 10 minutes off Kazaa

Not really, skz, txt, en-, nct units, and svt all fit this description of million sellers who cant place top 100 with a song but sell a ton of albums

I guess the days are gone when a group can sell a million and chart as well

Was it only Seo Taiji (in his words) to BTS?

1st gen = album sales

2nd gen = Japanese tours

3rd gen/4th gen= western validation

First option doesn't even make sense but I guess it's the reality. I'll go with second option because it's nice to have hit songs

#2. The most nugu member in H.O.T. helped his grandfather escape from North Korea by paying a broker or something like that.

A sweet song written and composed by Kangta

Shinhwa - T.O.P given to H.O.T.

It was in fact for H.O.T.

what about the company's revenue then?
because having a big revenue means you get big resource to spend or nurture talents

I heard SM became a public company in April of 2000

Cheers. I always thought they were invincible because of their huge fandom at every show.

And Jinusean really did pave the way for YG. Wow.

Did H.O.T. ever lose a stage from 1997-2000?

Yes.

People think S.E.S' music aged liked milk. But I say old is gold. Different strokes indeed.

Fin.K.L had 4 because S.E.S had 3.

Is that his wife in the background at 3:35? cool.

I think most overall sales mean more because Seo Taiji sold like 500k more than Kim Gunmo and H.O.T. sold over a million more than G.O.D.

BTS has both, though.

So this whole time these album sales weren't based on 1 version? I guess I've been living under a rock.

Quote from Golden_Wishes

I don't think that's very fair imo

SM debuted a ton of artists from 2000 to 2005 that just did not do well at all.

The lifespan of an idol was really short as well

Tru tru

An extremely successful artist albeit her legacy has been romanticized since she was 15 year old girl that succeeded even though SM was already a very big company.
