And the battle was really strong indeed. There were 2 years, 2012 and 2014 for example where Sistar even won best GG, even against SNSD/2NE1. They were the only ones (besides Brown Eyed Girls I think) that won MAMA that didn't not come from a Big 3 group.

Those 2 years were absolutely huge for Sistar. Both of Sistar releases in 2012 (Loving U) were the 2 biggest idol hits on Gaon in 2012. 2014 they had Touch My Body/I Swear, and Soyou's massive hit Some.

I think if Starship play their cards right and continue to also give them good songs, they are bound to be remembered as the top GGs of their generation just like their seniors

Kara won against SNSD, 2NE1, F(X) and Wonder girls. So Sistar, Kara and Brown eyed girls where like the anti big 3 groups that could go toe to toe with all the groups from the big 3 at the time. (Let's ignore the fact that once upon a time in the early stages of kpop it was SM Vs DSP Vs SidusHq in the start of kpop lol)

They where basically everywhere. When i went to japan in 2012 they where EVERYWHERE and i mean everywhere, there songs where playing in malls, out on the streets in the local clubs. My Japanese friend said he thought that they where from japan, cause of how well they spoke japanese. Hara and jiyoung where the most popular in japan espically hara, she looked like namie amuro who at the time was making her return to the jpop industry in a big way as well. In the general public Kara was very well known and liked, snsd was known among the teenage groups, where as kara was known by virtually any age group among japan. The only group closest to matching them in terms of popularity in japan from the kpop industry is SNSD and twice. SNSD and Kara made it huge in japan so other ggs from korea could do the same thing.
