Sorry,

I originally thought this particular tweet was already included in OP, then I realized tweet from other kpop forum were blocked in this site. Something like this:

"TWICE Becomes 1st Foreign Female Artist And Only 2nd Overall After AKB48 To Hold 3-Day Concert At Tokyo Dome"

Don't worry, I knew that AKB was the only one before Twice, I'm obviously their fan. I was just referring to the comment made about comparison of Twice and AKB

Quote from Armedryu

Dont worry, it will eventually be surpassed

I honestly doubt that, there have been many groups before AKB and will be many after, but no one has yet touched the 2008-2013 era of AKB in terms of success

I am not talking about soloist ofc only pop groups

Quote from ketchUp

last time akb48 held a tokyo dome concert was in 2014.

and their 3 days tokyo dome was in 2012.

call me when any K-Pop GG sells over 60 million official records

Quote from TheBotter

I'm sure AkB can look back to nearly a decade ago when they could play 3 days in a row...you know if any of the og line up are still even in the group lol, but Twice are doing it in the here and now.

The only thing AKB have is wota fans. They're considered a national embarassment for a reason.

I know that AKB is not as big as it used to be that's why I said at their peak, not now. Also being national embarassment does not preclude the fact that they are the best selling GG in Japan and have more records sold than any K-Pop GG

Quote from Armedryu

Bury is a strong word

AKB48 has over 30 singles that sold over 1 million copies on Oricon, I think bury is the correct word here

Quote from Armedryu

A female act on par with peak AKB48 lmao

I love Twice and they are doing amazing in Japan, but during their peak AKB48 would bury Twice

Jennie's visuals... is seriously falling behind...

I wish I could look that good while my visual was falling down

The amount of people who think it's okay to assault someone because their joke offends you is astonishing. He should've been kicked out by the security but what can you expect from an award show that awards well know pedophiles

It was pain listening to the song, I had to turn it off after a minute... I don't know who thought this was a good idea but they need to be fired

Quote from dummi

He does what?? lmao pls say it aint so

Quote from charli-rob

probably because when they debuted, 2nd gen groups was still dominating..

BTS is still dominating now, yet there are plenty of 4th gen groups. Growl is considered the milestone between 2nd and 3rd gen. Exo was not popular before Growl so...

I would add Oh. It was a massive hit in SK.

2NE1's last performance as 4

I want to be added to both please

Yoona and Suzy... Jennie is very close but Jennie was way more hated even at her peak, while Yoona and Suzy were just (mostly) loved.

Quote from babybat

okay so a follow up question. is their dominance considered an anomaly? did any groups from 1st gen maintain their popularity for that length of time?

the problem with 1st gen groups is that they usually disbanded after 3-4 years... they never even had a chance to get tho soshi level...

Quote from licoricebtch

and SM’s revenue isn’t even in the top 3 anymore so that says alot about them as a company as a whole…. what they did with Exo was great, but no one wants another group with 20+members, the general public ain’t interested.

the general public isn't interested in k-pop anymore, it doesn't matter how many members a group has, now it's all about international fans bacause we are the ones keeping k-pop alive

The performance was great, I just wish SM would let them sing live, otherwise what's the point of having a mic?

2NE1 always seemed very close and knew eachother well.

I would also say SNSD, but the Jessica scandal still remains a mystery so only God knows.

Also Wonder Girls are still friends after all these years, so they must have a bond too.

It's just a popular joke, nothing too deep

Also I'm pretty sure it's not "majority of white KPOP stans", it's just a small section, but then again twitter is the last place you should look at to find a good representation of what Kpop fans are like
