BLACKPINK - the most popular g.irl group of the 3rd generation

BTS and BLACKPINK are the 2 most popular groups in Gen 3, which is undisputed.

If the 2nd generation groups such as SNSD, Big Bang, Super Junior, Wonder Girls, 2NE1... opened the door for Korean music to start reaching the world.

Then the 3rd generation like BTS, EXO, BLACKPINK, TWICE... helps Kpop expand its influence and affirm its solid position on the international music map, especially the European - American market.

Not only is the g.irl group dominating digital music achievements in the country, BLACKPINK is recognized as a "global group", setting a series of records on international platforms such as YouTube, Billboard, Spotify...

Jennie, Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo also assert their influence in many fields other than music. They act as ambassadors for leading fashion, jewelry, and beauty brands... always become the focus of cult fashion shows.

Just like BTS (under HYBE), BLACKPINK is YG's "golden egg". As soon as the news of BLACKPINK's return was announced, the value of YG shares increased by 10% and is expected to continue to make "huge" profits after BLACKPINK officially releases a new album.

SNSD - the "national group" is hard to replace

Korea is a market that favors the group form. Entertainment companies almost always focus on training trainees to release a series of new groups every year.

This is what makes Kpop gradually "saturated". According to Rolling Stones, since the 4th generation, K-pop has lacked names that are recognized as "legends". To have a second "national group" like SNSD is almost impossible.

SNSD is the only 2nd generation g.irl group that still retains a strong attraction during 15 years of operation. The 8 SM girls are a solid wall in the hearts of fans and are also considered the "model books" of many Kpop idols through the generations.

Since their first mini-album "Gee" (2009), SNSD has always released new music products that have become hits. "Genie", "Oh", "Hoot", "The Boys", "Mr. Mr", "I Got a Boy"... are national songs that almost everyone knows, to this day. .

SNSD's miracle is not only measured by awards and digital music achievements, but more importantly, the love of the public.

It is rare for a g.irl group to have a large number of members where all 8 girls are remembered by the audience. They are equal in talent, reputation, with a strong personal color. They have successful solo careers in many ways, music, movies, television, advertising...

Not far away, but right in Vietnam at that time, the image of SNSD appeared in the notebooks, school supplies of students, or on popular music channels of the 8X - 9X period, SNSD music as food. indispensable spirit of youth.

Despite forming and developing in two periods, both SNSD and BLACKPINK have affirmed their names with different "miracles", incomparable.

The common point that helps them to be called "K-pop legends" lies in the real talent of each member. They bring their own color and are not dissolved in the increasingly "industrialized" Kpop market.
