Belkiss 22,803 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 A group that is #1 in everything and its mother?Think about it. Some groups have gp, others fandom power. Some have physicals others digitals. Some are locals others are global etcNow look at BTS Digimons About to break the record for the best selling korean album in history 1.4m album sales in 6 hours 950k unique listeners made award shows reschedule their dates according to BTS schedule Changed the way companies market their artist (Social media) YouTube views Stadium tour Social media Hit songs Opened the US market,the biggest market in the world The strongest korean boy group in Japan , second biggest market in the world Brand reputation Gallup Gp Critical acclaim Global fandom the like of which never seen since the Beatles Over 20 daesangs selling cds and merchandise like hot cake BT21 tremendous sales The most expensive in cfs Global ambassadors Impact on korean tourism and economy Analysts consider bts to be the hope to fix the damage caused by burning sun I am pretty sure I forgot many things. My point is who else has all these things together at the same time?Even if I were an anti, I wouldn't deny the fact that BTS is the biggest group Korea has ever witnessed. They are a phenomenon. This cb has cemented this fact. I'm done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to stan them but they barely chart on melon SuJu actually had some big hits earlier in their career like U, Sorry Sorry, Bonamana, etc. It's since 2012 that they started to decline digitally. Most SM groups are like that, they have that one big hit earlier in their career and a couple years of digital peak and then start to decline 5-7 years in their career. It's even happened with SNSD since they've never been able to replicate their 2009-2011 digital peak (Gee, Oh, Genie, The Boys, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eri-gom 3,736 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 snsd and bigbang were loved by GP and had big fandoms, also they had big success in japan. Nowdays the physical game improved so we can see groups being million sellers. Bigbang have big attendance in their concerts too. I can say twice, exo and blackpink are well rounded groups too in this generation This is my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudy 3,588 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Y’all read the first part of the OP before commenting about these groups? “A group that is #1 in everything and its mother? Think about it. Some groups have gp, others fandom power. Some have physicals others digitals. Some are locals others are global etc Now look at BTS†She said a group that’s #1 in EVERYTHING, not just general well rounded groups. No, exo, does not count.

kookcarl27 1,493 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 the ff in this list doesn't need to be number 1 in everything to be well rounded. 2nd gen had SNSD, TVXQ, Big Bang and SUJU. This gen has EXO, BP, TWICE, and even Wanna One. Of course, there are certain things that groups lack that others have. Fandom power is much more evident on bgs. So as stadium tours and physicals. Digitals belong merely to ggs. So as cfs and gp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
