[HOT] Just how popular was SNSD?
Translation of the above post:
Q. I heard SNSD were extremely popular during Gee and Genie? Were they on the same level as Twice now? (note: the post is from 2018.)
-Our countries idol industry was always taken over by male idols. But SNSD beat all the male idols back then with Gee, Genie and other songs and chewed up the female idols. There was no other group that could beat SNSD. Twice and Red Velvet are the top girl groups now but they can't beat Exo and BTS. But SNSD beat all the male idols during their peak era.
-They were a several hundred times more popular than Twice. Naver's server was down just with the teaser releaseㅋㅋㅋ
OP's comment: So the era of not knowing Soshi popularity has come

-They're not a legendary girl group for nothing.
-All the people around me were wearing colorful skinny jeansㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-They were a fcking wall.
-Goobne Chicken exists now because of SNSD..

- Soshi is the national girl group... Even the elderly who are not interested in idols must have known all the Soshi members hahaha It's true that the idols were more popular back then...
- They seems to be the girl group version of Young-woong Lim', but they were the one-top and there won't be a girl group like Soshi until SM closes
