TT is the longest charting Kpop song in the second biggest music market of the world. Was at one point the most viewed Kpop group MV. Has 110+ streams on Spotify despite being added years later. Imo, it is the biggest hit of 2016 internationally.
Also, I think D4 is the biggest song of 2018 internationally.
TT never hold the 'most viewed Kpop group MV' title. Before they manage to overtook Bigbang-Bang3x, BTS-DNA surpassed it first.

But how many gg's have sold a million copies on a single album release?
I never said anything abt album sales in that post of mine that you quoted. I simply said I don't agree abt the "getting PAK seems easier now" part. Viral song alone is not enough, otherwise Aespa-Next Level would be drowning in PAKs by now.

The girl groups selling another 1m aside of BP is gonna be the hardest to break. China's ban + World tours and fanmeetings coming back + merch at concert coming back + incoming economic crisis due covid = probably a huge hit in physical sales in the next years, doubt another girl group will sell 1m at least until the next decade, plus a pak seems easier now if you have a gp friendly song and a good promotion like a tiktok challenge that could lead the song to a good virality moment
Looking at the number of songs with a PAK throughout the years I don't think it's easier to get a PAK now tbh.
2016 : 18 songs got a PAK
2017 : 16 songs
2018 : 13 songs
2019 : 6 songs
2020 : 8 songs
2021 : 5/6 songs so far
The numbers of song with PAK are on a downward trend kinda, so I personally don't see it as "easier" now.

Meanwhile pretty much any time of the year a bg could release a good song and potentially get number 1s.
Thats what I thought as well initially, but after finding out only 3 BG manage to get a PAK and only 2 BG can get that with more than one song, eventho there's plenty BG hits from 2010-onwards, I'm starting to think "luck" and timing factor play a big part in this.

Yes you are correct, I think another 150k is a repackage. Can you allow me to revote?
Haha Iirc RIAJ certification are based on shipment while Oricon just count sales from Japan area. So Ig ppl who call SNSD Japan Album a million seller aren't technically wrong either. I just prefer to use Oricon number Ig.

Good question. Getting a hit song is lot more easier than garnering big enough fandom for huge album sales.
In kpop sphere, I have seen that people are sexist towards boy groups. They avoid boy groups and their music willingly. Especially koreans. That makes me think there is a bigger possibility of a girl group selling 1m than a boy group getting a hit song. IZ*ONE could sell 600k, right? So next survival show girl group will most probably sell more than them and with enough cheap versions of the album & online fansigns, I think they can sell 1m. I mean it just looks more likely.
There's a big gap from 500/600k to 1M tho. But recently with a lot of 3rd/4th gen BG almost doubling up their sales, I'm starting to think 'maybe it's not impossible for GG to do the same?'.

SNSD sell more than 1 million albums
They got RIAJ Million certification, but afaik the exact number on Oricon is 850k+ or something like that.

Throughout history only 3 Boy Groups manage to get a Perfect-All-Kill on Korean chart (basically, simultaneously getting no.1 on all Korean streaming services/chart)
Blue [2012], Loser [2015], Let’s Not Fall In Love [2015], Fxxk It [2016], Flower Road [2018]
-Ikon, 1 song
Love Scenario [2018]
Fake Love [2018], Boy With Luv [2019], Dynamite [2020], Butter [2021]
And only 1 Girl Group manage to sell 1 Million album, Blackpink-The Album.
So both are a very exclusive achievements, tho rn physical sales has been rising all across the board and who knows, maybe another BG can get a lucky local smash hit. But, which one will be harder to break in the future in your opinion?

I don't think thats what "fresh" actually means here. Mamamoo has been putting out hits since 2015, they've been constantly in the public eye for more than 5 years. So, they're not exactly the group ppl will call "fresh". Public got bored fast. And this apllied to BoyGroup as well. How many BG can constantly chart well for 5/6 years in a row, probably only one or two.

That man with Rosé. Ysl creative director

Sales and popularity - Bigbang, big in Korea, Japan, and maybe China. Have some followers outside of Asia.
Impact - TVXQ, along with BoA they opened one of the most important international market for Kpop, which is Japan. Second, I believe TVXQ was the reason why almost every Kpop group after them have a 7-years length contract. So, TVXQ split kinda affected almost every single Kpop act after them.
