"I think if you just look at Korea, SNSD is the top group, but if it's worldwide, BLACKPINK is slightly better. They are completely 'invincible' in the international market, achieving many achievements that no other K-pop group has reached," one fan commented.

Since their debut in 2007, the group has become a phenomenon, redefining K-pop's standards for female idols. During their years, the girls under SM Entertainment have broken many records and left behind typical works.

SNSD is the witness and origin of the development of K-pop, especially the girl group later. SNSD's No. 1 girl group position is irreplaceable, because of the legacy that the girls have left behind with music and popular influence. Although the next generation of idols will have other groups with global popularity, the group that laid the first foundation for the development of K-pop is still SNSD.

This achievement helped BLACKPINK become the first Kpop group to own a debut MV to reach 1 billion views on the platform. Besides, BLACKPINK is also the 2nd group worldwide to achieve this desirable achievement.

Entering the 7th year of their career, BLACKPINK unlocked many revenue records but faced many fluctuations. Throughout 2023, BLACKPINK will not make a comeback, focusing full-time on completing their World Tour Born Pink, the final stage in their home country of South Korea in September.
