TVXQ! are freaking wall!!! They are not only the Highest Grossing foreign artist on Oricon in term of CD sales but they are also the highest grossing Korean artist of all times with more than $2.3 BILLION USD in revenue

 

TVXQ! is objectively speaking the most successful Korean artist of all times ever and it's not even close. /Thread

All my favourites.

 

TVXQ built the wall and are staying on top, most probably. They are still active and have already came out from enlistment.

 

And BTS!!! Amazing how much growth they've had since last year. They should be cracking the top 3 by end of 2019 with how much they are selling right now
