SNSD never released any new music and only got back together for the occasional reunion paycheck.
Bruh. They had a full album.

Not revolutionised since it's been done before (I think shinwa did it) and it's not a common thing across the industry (yet) but SNSD certainly showed it can be possible and idols leaving doesn't need to mean the end of the group.
I think the key aspect is that SM still sees them as a legitimate group because we all know SM doesn't have a great track record with older groups or idols who leave, that includes SNSD themselves as when SM deliberately sabotaged their 10th anniversary. Look at SNSD standing in SM and it's noticeablely different compared to other older acts; SNSD were allowed to perform as a full group with plenty of songs at SM town during Forever 1 era and currently are promoted as a full group with their own merch and new song whereas other groups have multiple members missing from promo/merch like Shinee, Exo, Suju or are completely absent like Fx. Half the group aren't in SM so there's no reason why SM would promote the non SM members as what happened during the Oh GG days yet here we are.
I wouldn't be surprised if SNSD status becomes a common sight across the industry with idols in different labels but still performing as part their group under their original label.

AKP started out asa general translation site but quickly became a hate site against SNSD and Big Bang, regularly picking articles and making editorials to generate clicks because they were the biggest names to leech off.
The worst they did was get ahold of Ailee nude pics (I think one of her ex was either on akp staff or he leaked them to AKP) and they posted them for no fucking reason. I don’t remember any other news source even covering the story. There was a LOT of backlash against AKP form knetz and multiple kpop fan sites trying to ban them as a source.

You know what? I agree. The only contention for me is NJ
I don't know anything about current gen so I don't know if NJ as impactful as the others but seeing how popular and successful they are (their popularity reminds of SNSD tier) then probably deserve at least a strong mention but remains too be seen what impact they leave on the industry. Otherwise she's not a idol group but Boa? She was the biggest selling Kpop artist for a time and carried SM for a while - all while being a teen.

I don't see how it's a power play when 2 idols from 2 different groups say they had issues with SM weeks ago which weren't resolved hence them not attending. Taeyeon mentioning lack of prep is so on trend for SM for years as seen with QC issues on her merch, small concert venues resulting in fans demanding more dates and zero promo for her latest album.
17 years later SM still can't do basic things like spell "Girls' Generation" correctly on official SM 30th merch
With the way SM handles things these shills might want to be careful their jobs aren't axed some day.

Your premise is immediately invalid as BP were soundly beaten by Twice in almost every criteria for for close to half their career until they finally blew up.
SNSD vs 2G is a bigger domination. From 09 onward SNSD were at the top or around the top every criteria from music like digital, physical and touring to cfs, TV ratings, hallyu. This was an era were the gg scene was highly competitive as multiple ggs could get number 1 or have popularity with fans and public yet through it all SNSD became THE defacto face of Kpop because of their dominance. Others 2G ggs might have matched or beaten them in 1 area but absolutely nobody could ever come close to them in everything else esp over such a long time (that and all their peers disbanded long before them).

Gasp SM remembers fx existed lol.

S2 really sucked for almost everything.
The fucking police brother side plot didn't amount to anything just like in S1 even though the first 2 eps were about him and his plan to raid the games. He should've stayed "dead" instead of wasting so much time.
Almost of the side characters were forgettable or led to nothing. Top as Thanos was cringe but at least entertaining to watch as the villain but then he just dies in the least interesting way. The pregnant girl has done nothing, the bitcoin guy is lame, the hot piercing girl dies before she had any character, the scardy cat who the pierced girl liked is detestable. The only worthwhile people are the mother and son duo (mainly because of the mother scolding him lol) and the trans person who is one of the few that has a personality and does things.
Then there's the main plot. The games finally start 3 eps but that's half the series gone. The games are eased passed with little to no named characters in danger. The final episode was meh action but dragged far too long until the final moments.
Honestly there shouldn't have been a S2. All the things that made S1 great aren't in here at all.

It's been awful for weeks now
I see. I got a notification, clicked the link to take me to your post and it's a reload loop. I Haven't used this site much over the last couple years but damn it's gone to shit, it struggles to do the basics lol.
...
Literally as pressed reply for the above it loads, hangs for a bit, reloads the page and my post isn't actually there. I had to press reply again to make it go through.

It's hard to compare eras one to one. BP is in a time when Kpop is more accessible worldwide thanks to digital so pure raw numbers is on their side. Even non top tier groups have more Spotify listeners, YouTube views, album sales etc more than SNSD ever did so does that mean groups like Le seraphim or Izone are bigger than SNSD?
SNSD for their time was unstoppable and mega influential. They were equivalent of Spice Girls in UK level of dominance. They ruled the charts, album sales, ruled TV (mutiple own TV shows and even the face of Olympics coverage), face of Korean tourism, all types of CF from fried chicken to luxury items. They were full on pop culture icons that influenced society.
Industry wise they pushed it further by leading the Kpop expansion worldwide (aka hallyu), were the biggest touring gg in the world, set records on Japan, made appearances worldwide media like USA TV and other countries news (in UK our newspapers even featured them a few times), biggest gg worldwide on YouTube and so on. They are also mega influential on idols as they directly led to influx of large member ggs becoming common sight, some many groups were made to emulate SNSD in some form including Twice and BP (originally meant to be a YGSNSD but trainees left/dropped and BP project came out of what was left) many new idols entered the industry because of them, conpanies training regimes use SNSD as the standard to aim for.
The phrase gets thrown around a lot but SNSD is one of the few that actually "paved the way".
Also what is with this site, it's so slow and buggy wtf. I keep getting stuck in endless reload loops.

SM taking the biggest Ls since the management change.
Only a few years ago SM had the strongest gg lineup in Kpop with SNSD members, Red Velvet and Aespa. Fast forward to now and SNSD is all but over and likely members of RV won't renew and all that's left is Aespa. Boa is rumoured to be retiring too this year. SM town from now will be a sausage fest.
Also nice to see everyone in SNSD is in their natural hair colour.

SNSD v 2NE1 purely because Sone v BJ was hilarious and fun. Tons of shit posting and memes
Twice v BP felt more mean spirited and definitely devolved quicker to death threats and racism.

I think it's mainly that 3G onwards have more hardcore fans. Iirc Wendy outsold Taeyeon in same time frames of their careers yet it's clear to anyone Taeyeon is a much bigger idol and has a significantly bigger appeal to public listeners.
Irene is even more popular than Wendy so it makes sense she's going to be best seller in SM. I wouldn't be surprised if an Aespa member solo album beats Irene and she becomes the best selling female in SM, Karina in particular might even go for 1m.
