  • [POLL] NMIXX vs BABYMONSTER

    As the comparison is Vocals as a group, the best example is how they sing and harmonize as a group while being stable when dancing.


    There are examples of NMIXX's a cappella album teasers as well as live radio a cappella and there are examples where they are singing while doing dance practice.


    As for Individuals, it's actually irrelevant for both groups as they can all Sing well and it's not about the members' being Soloist.

  • Has any kpop girl group matched SNSD’s peak in korea?

    TWICE had 9 consecutive number 1 songs in SK, SNSD has not come close to matching that because only 2Ne1 and Sistar have had 9 consecutive number 1 songs but neither did it with Title Tracks. In fact, to this date it is impossible for the 4th and likely the 5th gen to even achieve this since TWICE did it in their first 3 years.


    TWICE's Concerts are currently at their peak especially when you have a SubUnit having 6 Dome Concerts you can realise just how big the scope TWICE has in Japan which is South Korea's biggest Market for Music.


    But, SNSD were huge for Concerts for the 2nd gen where GGs barely had Solo Concerts, it's just SNSD are clearly not in TWICE's league.


    As for Physical Albums..... NEWJEANS holds that title for the first 3 years BUT only SNSD has ever outsold a BG and I can't see that changing.


    However......


    We are talking about a KPOP group, in particular a GG.


    SNSD is unmatched by any GG when it comes to being Idols and Idol Entertainment, they simply dominated Korean Television so overall....


    SNSD wins

  • Which girl groups are in (or about to enter) the 10 Year Club

    Jewelry

    2001 - 2015

    They had many member changes but continued to be active as a group unlike other groups that had a long hiatus only to make a comeback special where many are not from the same label.


    Wondergirls

    Feb 2007 - Feb 2017

    In January 2017 they announced they were disbanding after their last release and 10th Anniversary.


    Brown Eyed Girls

    2006 - 2016

    While their contracts did expire in 2015, B.E.G did Concerts in 2016 as well as held their 10th Anniversary where they were the first Kpop GG to have lasted 10 years with their original members.


    Hiatus Vs Disbandment

    Hiatus is when a group is still under contract but not active whereas Disbandment is when there is no ongoing contract for the group, examples follow.


    Groups on Hiatus

    BlackPINK, technically many SME groups can qualify as SME retains member/s thereby keeping the Group's IP so they can officially have a Comeback.


    Groups that were Disbanded

    Gfriend

  • Which generation is/was the most FUN?

    As I don't know a lot about the 1st gen, I'm picking the 2nd gen due to shows like Invincible Youth which had a member/s from different GGs participating in a Village/Farming Show.


    SNSD were involved, easily the biggest GG in SK at the time, along with B.E.G, T-ara, Kara etc

  • What 3rd generation idols/groups do you think will remain relevant in the upcoming years?

    In 2024 they had an estimated 580k attendance for the end of their RTB World Tour and hints from members is that they will have an even bigger 5th World Tour.


    They are currently at the level of Dome, Arena and Stadium crowds while their Subunit MiSaMo has done 6 Dome Venue Concerts.


    With their appearance at Lollapalooza aiding in the fast selling of the 4 Day tickets as well as the Saturday GA and VIP sell out, TWICE will be the first Kpop GG to headline the Event.


    I hear that their Contracts will expire in 2026, that's if they renewed them for 2 more years in 2024 but JYPE will be eager to renew them, it's just up to the members.


    JYPE are likely to continue their Korean and Japan annual comebacks so I can still see the group together in 2028 especially as the market in America continues to grow.


    Beyond TWICE, Jihyo, Nayeon, Tzuyu, MiSaMo and Chaeyoung (debut pending) will continue in music, Dahyun will be involved in Acting while Jeongyeon seems happy to do what she's doing having no current plans to be a Soloist.


    TWICE and it's members are very active, JYPE plans to keep it that way for as long as they manage the group and their members, so beyond 2030 is probable.


    TWICE will open for Coldplay's 6 Korean Concerts in the coming weeks, word has it that they will have an hour Setlist.

  • Mamamoo vs NMixx vs Babymonster - which group is the most talented? which group is the most well rounded?

    You've given evidence of Mamamoo's a capella but not of an Album Teaser which I stated, the difference is an Album Teaser shows the different Song structures and genre because it's easy to do a capella for a single song.


    Whether an Individual is better at dancing is irrelevant since we are comparing the Group Dancing and Mamamoo couldn't do Thunderous at NMIXX's level, whom were singing at the same time so it wasn't just a Dance Cover.


    NMIXX can cover any Mamamoo song and choreo but I don't think Mamamoo could do the same with NMIXX especially as Mamamoo had to lower the chord when they covered AoA on Queendom, NMIXX wouldn't have to.


    BUT..............

    NMIXX is dead last for Rapping
