How would you rank these SM groups base on their overall impact?

[Marie Juana]

It is very obvious that SM produced and will continue to produce (NCT and White Fox) some of the finest groups in the world of K-pop. Love it or hate it, SM will retain its position as the biggest record label in the K-pop industry. I'm not seeing any company that will take over for at least next 5 years. So, how would rank its groups base on their overall impact (digital and physical sales, fandom power, endorsements, and legacy)?

 

Note: I just included the groups wherein K-pop reached international success. Also, I do not live in Korea so I'm just doing this rank base on my view as a kpop fan.

 

Here's mine;

 

(1st): TVXQ - Asia's Stars and Kings of Kpop!

(2nd): SNSD - Nation's Girl Group. Duh!

(3rd): Super Junior - Sorry Sorry effect everyone?

(4th): EXO - Multi-awarded Kpop boygroup

(5th): Shinee - The ever-fabulous Key ♥

(6th): f(x) - Victoria is the Queen of China

(7th): Red Velvet - ICC and Dumb Dumb is life! ♥

who said anything abt suzy lmao bitch bye

and your rank is far from truth

[ñyan]

Agree with your list

 

 

The first three groups brings the hallyu weave an international status

[Ecto Malt]

SNSD is number 1 for me. They dominated so much compared to other GG's and for so long have been no1.

[oppaarrr]

Agree with yours..

[Junhoes_hoe]

1) EXO

(Need i explain? More impact etc)

2) TVXQ

3) Super junior

(they're considered as jokes)

4) SNSD

(not everybody knows snsd, just cause their fandom is big doesn't mean everybody knows them, fans just like to over hype them sadly)

5) Red Velvet

(They're now above F(x)

6) F(x)

7) Shinee

(Shinee is under f(x) since they're still nugu, while f(x) is also still nugu they still have more public recognition than Shinee, thanks to kai)

[Bitchfit]

Agree with you

[Marie Juana]

SNSD is number 1 for me. They dominated so much compared to other GG's and for so long have been no1.

 

I agree but TVXQ's legacy is just insane! They're not just no. 1 in SoKor but all over Asia.

[Cat of The Canals]

Yours seems more or less legit. And yas for considering Super Junior, the Hallyu kings. Not many people remember that they were big 

[Fonci]

TVXQ

SNSD

[ToujoursSistar]

snsd tvxq then exo thats my top 3

[munaka]

1st: SNSD - They have been the number one GG group for 10 years. No other sm group has been able to accomplish such a feat. Their public relevance is insane.

2nd: TVXQ - As you said > Asia's Stars and Kings of Kpop!

3rd: EXO -  Multi-awarded Kpop boygroup, internationally known. That impact though? 

4th: Super Junior - Leaders of the hallyu waves

5th: Shinee 

6th: f(x) 

7th: Red Velvet 

[mikiangel]

SNSD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all. Go ask Koreans if you don`t believe me.

[Channie Tatum]

(1st): TVXQ - Asia's Stars and Kings of Kpop!

(2nd): SNSD - Nation's Girl Group. Duh!

(3rd): Super Junior - Sorry Sorry effect everyone?

(4th): EXO - Multi-awarded Kpop boygroup

(5th): Shinee - The ever-fabulous Key ♥

(6th): f(x) - Victoria is the Queen of China

(7th): Red Velvet - ICC and Dumb Dumb is life! ♥

[buffybubbles]

snsd.....tvxq, suju, etc may be technically bigger but for a girl group their success is unprecedented and just that much more impressive

in my totally unbiased opinion

[Vip ex-Elvis]

 

sorry had to see their reaction :P can't even take a joke, these ppl need to chiil

[silicon soul]

I'm terms of impact, imo:

 

1. SNSD: Ngg, one of if not the most popular kpop groups ever seen over all in Korea especially with public, one of the leaders for expansion of hallyu, extremely popular internationally, considered by many to be the definitive Kpop gg etc

 

2. TVXQ: one of the biggest bgs ever in Korea, own in Japan too which allowed kpop groups to better infiltrate Japan later on

 

3. Suju: Huge influence on hallyu, very popular in Korea at their height.

 

4. Exo: massive in Korea currently and having strong success across asia. Only reason I put them below suju is because they weren't around during the hallyu boom a few years ago which helped kpop become as known as it is.

 

5. Shinee: very popular in Korea, not so much so with public, quite popular across Asia. But they just don't match up to their the above groups in terms of success or impact IMO.

 

6. f(X): Very popular gg with fans but not that popular with public. Haven't really had many concerts or toured until very recently.

 

7. Red velvet: Just starting out

[Sone-H]

4th: Shinee -good amount of international fans

5th: Suju -lost a lot of popularity

6th: f(x)

7th: Red velvet - still new

[YooJeong]

1. SNSD - They and Suju started the Hallyu wave, but SNSD stayed strong and popular while Suju has kinda faded now

2. TVXQ - Kings of pop tbh

3. Super Junior - with SNSD started the Hallyu wave but ever since then have lost popularity a lot.

4. EXO

5. ShinEE & F(x)

6. Red Velvet

[marmar]
