I mean this was never a fair comparison since SNSD does not belong in the era where kpop is more known in every other country, even in Asia kpop was nowhere close as well known in the past as it was now.
Objectively if popular means how many ppl knows or follow them/ their music then just based on sheer number Blackpink is going to win this one

As others mentioned, any song being #1 in the year in the year end charts for melon or circle or how easy it is to win daesang is highly dependent on release dates. It is also why Korean award shows is not being taken as seriously as people want to ( that and also the attendance = higher chance to win part) because it has nothing to do with a fair competition/evaluation.
And Blackpink would have had quite a high chance of having a #1 in the year end charts if one of their biggest songs HYLT/LSG, D4, AIIYL was released earlier in the year say Jan-Mar but here we are so.
I like to think that this is not as big of a blip as the lack of #1 songs they have in Korea, because they basically have 8+ hit songs in Korea but only 3 made it to #1. But this is an issue faced not only by Blackpink but by multiple other groups including NewJeans, BTS etc so its not made as big of a deal of

All three are quite equal or on the same level.
Always though Red Velvet's success is more inflated than people think and G-idle has around the same number of hits than Red Velvet already at this stage of their careers, and I mean we dont even need to look at album sales and other metrics because that has never been Red Velvet's strong suit
Only argument for RV is that they felt bigger during their era because ppl think of them as the 3rd biggest gg/part of the big 3 etc because they belong in an era where ggs are not as dominating as nowadays.
They will be behind many 4th/5th gen ggs in a few years imo and they are already behind Newjeans, IVE, Aespa now in most metrics

Blackpink peak in 2020 covers all areas (charts, sales, tour) so for me biggest peak for ggs:
1. Highest UL Peak in Korea for Idol groups in the year, Most weeks at #1 in Gaon/Circle charts for ggs, Most Digital points for ggs in the year
2. Have songs that chart at #1 for more weeks in other countries than in korea
3. Entire album debut in top 25 Chart of Spotify Global
4. Biggest Album sales for GGs for a single album, first gg album to hit 1m sales ever at the time
5. Biggest Tour for ggs
6. Highest & Most Songs charting in BB Hot 100 for GGs
7. Released one of the biggest foreign songs in China ever (HYLT)

We have provided more information on this in our privacy policy.TWICE 2016 however is still one the biggest peaks for a ggs ever as well so idk why people are underestimating them. Yes Blackpink might be catching up to them in career digital stats in korea overall (with exception of number of #1 songs as not all Blackpink massive hit songs hits #1) but in they undoubtly has one of the highest peaks for ggs.
Basically it comes down to
TWICE (2016) Being insanely huge in Korea and huge in Japan vs Blackpink (2020)- Being huge in Korea, insanely huge in SEA and China, bigger in all the other countries but not that big to be GP level.

It's a big hit, but not the biggest, not even close to the biggest, "Love Wins All" and "Supernova".
APT actually did outperform both songs in the charts even in Korea so objectively it is the biggest song this year.

It is easily the biggest kpop song after Gangnam Style but its not bigger.
Have to say though, the song have blown up for a longer period than I initially thought it would be

2. SNSD
3. Twice
6. Wonder Girls
7. Sistar
8. Aespa
9. Ive
10. MAMAMOO
I think half based on popularity/success and and half based on the impact of the groups i felt, this is probably the top 10 i would go for.
Sorry for 1st gen ggs i just dont know any of them and tbh i watch alot of recent k variety and what not and i cant really feel their presence or impact nowadays.

I'm hoping that what everyone and newjeans says is right and also they will win the contract termination against ADOR eventually because they have enough evidence that ADOR and HYBE are the ones who breached it.
But i kind of want to know if there is any way to avoid the potential dragging out of this case that HYBE and ADOR will do? Because I think it is fairly certain that ADOR and HYBE will not just let them terminate without fighting in court for a while

If APT gets the same kind of boost when the album drops then it could be a long time until it is dethroned.
Wasnt 100% that it will be bigger than Supernova in Korea but seems like now after 5 weeks its longevity is looking good and its peak is quite a bit higher than Supernova so yeah seems like its the biggest song of 2024 in korea as well.
Of course it couldve been even bigger - etc its ULs couldve still been at Supernova's peak right now if she promoted more. But I think the promotions are left late nearer to the album's release date? Like the Yoo Quiz on the block appearance is also only around the album release time

YG's management of Blackpink is quite diabolical tbh.
First I think they didnt expect Blackpink to do as well as they did.
Then once Blackpink started doing well they have no idea how to handle their comebacks. It makes 0 sense for a group to go on a 1.5 years hiatus at the peak of their powers in 2019-2020 and then 2020-2022.
Even releasing just one more album in between these 2 hiatuses will do only good for both the company and Blackpink
Im sure debuting in YG has helped Blackpink in many ways, but we also have to look from the other perspective that because of YG they are not as big as they could've gotten
-
Based on current performance both groups are doing worse than I thought they would
Babymonster being from YG who's gg has never not done well in korea and the hype for MEOVV being the first Teddy's first own gg
For now Babymonster definitely seemed to have more potential tho its hard to bet on MEOVV without knowing how capable their label actually is at promoting a kpop group since they have never done it before

Would Babymonster have been more successful than they are now?
He was basically putting himself out there as the main producer/director for the last evaluation and now even after debut in behind the scenes he is everywhere.
Babymonster is kind of associated with Yang Hyun Suk himself now... is that even a good thing with how tarnished his image is in Korea
