Yes.

Quote from Flowercrew

Throughout the years? Also, BTS 😁.

Not one group had ever peaked like them, and still peaking, btw.

what if another group comes along and breaks everyone's records? BTS is that group right now but the next big kpop group might come along in the year 2050 .

Quote from pearl-i

Biggest? Isn't it BTS' currently?

Right now it's BTS. I'm just talking about throughout the years

I have to go with HOT. Even Shinhwa said they never quite matched HOT's peak

yes. people say the current era is so much better than the previous era and the players were much stronger and athletic than the previous one. no one cares about those who paved the way.

It's under 가요 프로그램 1위

H.O.T won 56 times. Anyway, I don't think it makes them any less popular in Korea compared to those who have more wins.

Well I like to give the credit to SM's pioneers tbh

H.O.T was the first SM group to have a successful concert in China (it was in Beijing I believe, correct me if I'm wrong), I think this was SM's first time getting their foot into China's market

BoA is the reason why SM was able to have success in the Japanese market after she broke down the wall (prior to BoA's Japanese album SK and JPN didn't engage in each other's entertainment industries since WW II)

And DBSK had success in Japan too but also helped SM expand into the SEA market

Half of the kpop community has never heard of H.O.T but yeah, I guess it's true.

Quote from Tic_tac_toe

EXO. Exo have the most successful albums physically and digitally both with in Korea and outside out of any SM group. Also not only their group but their subunits solos and non musical activities. You’d have to be pretty biased to take any name other than EXO when you talk about the MOST successful SM group.

I feel like EXO being the youngest top tier group factors into this. If they debuted in 2005 or something then they would rank higher.

Who has the biggest legacy, impact, popularity, and success all rolled into one?

Quote from selfmate

I don't much about album resale value but would any of these albums be considered collector's items as such?

I've seen some of these albums being sold for a lot as collector's items. not sure how many takers there would be, though.

Quote from minafangirl

Wow that’s awesome! Are these albums hard to find these days?

yeah. very few stores in Korea sold older albums from past gen and I found them in second hand shops instead.

250 kpop albums from the 90's and early 2000's. couldn't show everything

Quote from Icaro_Ribeiro

By international you meant EVERYWHERE except Korea?

Then of course international, Japan alone is better than Korea, let alone China, SEA and West included

yes, anywhere/everywhere except korea.

People say the money is overseas but I also see people congratulating groups for getting korean validation. I'm a little confused and need to know what matters more.

Quote from tornpet

Are you sure they aren’t popular?

I don't see ifans being loud enough about them in the past, but it looks like they were/are based on the responses here.

even if an idol becomes irrelevant in Korea, they can still fall back on China (ie. Jang Woohyuk and Kangta from H.O.T.)
