BLACKPINK is honored to rank "in the same tray" with SNSD, as one of the girl groups that bring Kpop to the world

Whether active or disbanded, Kpop fans agree that these are the girl groups that helped make the "Hallyu wave" more known in the global market.

Recently, the US magazine Nylon mentioned 6 girl groups that helped K-pop gain a foothold globally in their recent article. Let's find out which groups have been named by this magazine.

The Kim Sisters

This 3-member group, Kim Sook Ja - Kim Ai Ja and Kim Min Ja is considered the first Korean girl group to succeed in the US music market. Sook Ja and Ai Ja are siblings while Min Ja is their cousin. The Kim Sisters operated from the 1950s to the 1980s.

One of the group's most notable achievements was performing 22 times at The Ed Sullivan Show - one of the longest-running American television shows of the last century. The success of The Kim Sisters is something to be admired, especially in that 20th century period.

Wonder Girls

Wonder Girls debuted in 2007 with 5 members founded and managed by JYP Entertainment.

After releasing their debut single "Irony", Wonder Girls immediately became a name that attracted many people's attention. In July 2007, Hyuna suddenly announced her withdrawal due to health problems, soon after that, Yubin replaced her and the group released the song "Tell Me".

This is also considered the song that paved the way for the group's popularity. Tell Me also immediately became a "craze" around the world. After this song, the group also released the second hit in their career called Nobody.

Thanks to the heat of Nobody, JYP also released an English version of this song and brought the American Wonder Girls forward.

Soon after, the Wonder Girls became the first K-pop group to enter the Billboard 100, the members also had the opportunity to perform with the Jonas Brothers during the 45-day concert.

In 2017, the Wonder Girls disbanded. Although they are no longer active, the Wonder Girls are still a symbol of the Kpop girl group to the audience and deserve to be the "four pillars" of the girl group in Gen 2. Thanks to the Wonder Girls' toddler steps in the country. flag that the new Kpop is gradually getting more attention around the world.

SNSD

Not just a legend, SNSD is almost a part of Korean pop culture already. The success and influence that SNSD has in Korea, Asia or globally is something that every group of the same age and juniors wish to have. During the period from 2011 to 2015, no girl group could surpass SNSD in terms of hard disk sales.

The legend of SNSD is also reflected in the success of the members' solo careers. This August, the name SNSD will reappear in the Kpop music market with a comeback product to celebrate its 15th anniversary. Surely this will be a time worth looking forward to for global K-pop fans.

2NE1

In 2009, 2NE1 was introduced as YG Entertainment's first girl group and the first since BIGBANG's debut. The 4 girls were introduced as rookie groups appearing in LG's promotional music video about BIGBANG.

The group officially became popular thanks to the hit "Fire", within the first 24 hours, this song reached more than 1 million views on YouTube.

After Fire, 2NE1 released "I don't care" and won Song of the Year award at MAMA.

Not stopping there, the group released a series of hits "I am the Best, Lonely, Ugly", which quickly dominated the music charts.

It will not be an exaggeration to say that the 4 unique 2NE1 girls are the ones who opened the "dynasties" for the girlcrush concept in the Kpop music industry and have been used by countless girl groups later on. In 2012, 2NE1 was the first K-pop girl group to have a concert held at Arena in the United States.

Thanks to 2NE1's special music and style, the global audience has had a different view of the K-pop girl group in particular and the whole Kpop music industry in general. In the "four pillars" of the Gen 2 girl group, 2NE1 is probably the most impressive piece next to SNSD - Wonder Girls and KARA.

TWICE

It's been 7 years since their debut and TWICE proved why they deserve to be a K-pop icon through the unexpected success of their recent US tour. 9 JYP girls became the first Kpop girl group to hold a concert in this country's stadium and sold more than 100,000 online concert tickets.

People used to think that TWICE was only famous in Asia, but now they can change their minds. The group also entered the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart at number 83, thanks to their debut English single The Feels released late last year.

BLACKPINK

Last but not least is BLACKPINK with a series of global achievements that make many other boy groups jealous. BLACKPINK has a lot of achievements to be proud of but perhaps the following 3 are enough to prove their global expansion. The first is the title of the first K-pop group to have a music video reach 1 billion views on YouTube with Ddu-Du Ddu-Du.

Next is the first Kpop girl group to perform at the world's largest music festival Coachella in 2019. And the last thing is the achievement of the artist with the most followers on YouTube with more than 74 million followers. . Therefore, BLACKPINK can be completely proud of what they have done and now there is no one more deserving than them to be called the world's No. 1 girl group.
