[knetizen] Korean artists who attracted the most spectators in Japan in 2019

[brume]

Not to put down the others, iKON and SVT did very well too, but for comparison purpose to put things into perspective:

 

                   [  5. iKON (251K / 44 shows                            6. Taemin(226K / 17 shows) ]

Taemin, a soloist with (17 shows) - even  less than half amount of shows of iKON's (44 shows) managed to attract around the similar number of spectators (both around the 220k-250k range). With 1 or 2 more shows, he'd easily top them. That's no joke for Taemin alone to pull it off and if you still downplay the obvious testament of SHINee/SHINee member's selling power and popularity then idk what to tell you, probably intentional ignorance with irrational jealousy might be it. In SM, he's 2nd (behind TVXQ) this year, (which otherwise would usually be SHINee before hiatus), a solo idol, not a group. Not EXO, not NCT, not SJ and none of their sub-units. So, imagine that. Keep a lookout once he grasps those Domes.

 

[    3. Seventeen (445K / 29 shows)
        4. TWICE (399K / 16 shows)        ]

Twice, a girlgroup with (16 shows) around less than half shows of SVT (29 shows) is getting around 400k spectators which is only 45-46k less than SVT's. If Twice had 1 or 2 more Dome shows, they'd easily attract the same numbers or surpass SVT. A kpop gg with this selling power that only top bg's have and beating most other boygroups at that, is highly impressive. I believe this is the highest record for a Kpop gg. Who knows they'll prolly get a Nissan std for their 10th anniversary or even before that.
