queenyoona 884 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 So, I was telling my friend about kpop and how much I love snsd, and how they won award in youtube and stuff. But she said the only korean girl group she knows in korea is Wonder Girls and she never even hear of kpop or listen to anything she just knows the wonder girls, so, I was wondering what kind of girl group in Korea do you think is know in America or what girl group do you think non-kpop know about ? To me personally I think it's Girls Generation and 2ne1 because they're the most popular in Korea. But, I don't know, what are your thoughts?

le youth 3,400 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 No doubt GG and 2NE1. Wonder girls has been off the radar as a group for a while now, and their American debut was a flop. They're slaying with the solos though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeelian 519 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 2NE1 without a doubt lol. I don't know how people can still say GG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentmoon 1,178 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think its hard to tell who is the MOST popular but its pretty obvious SNSD, 2ne1 and also wonder girls are the most well known kpop GGs in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souloist 3,634 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 SNSD and 2NE1 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus 1,775 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 GG because they are the group always mentioned in news articles about k-pop. Also Psy and G-Dragon. A lot of people who know nothing about kpop can still name Girl's Generation and Gee. Crayon Pop now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Rose 219 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Before I got into Kpop, all I heard of was Wonder Girls. They were the first. I am pretty sure, they're the ones people probably heard of first or 2NE1. Girls Generation is a possible third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Shrek 8,980 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'm a SoneJack but even I rolled my eyes when I see tbe phrases "korean girl groups" and "popular in America" in the same sentence... K-pop is too much of a niche market for any popularity comparisons to be meaningful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playgirl 3,298 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I live in a area where there are a lot of Asians/Koreans in general. I'm a high school student. Girl groups are irrelevant to girls my age. I only hear them talk about boy groups so..... Overall, they are all irrelevant AF so it doesn't really matter ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeelian 519 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Despite their youtube views (and we are not sure they come from America or else where), GG have nothing over 2NE1 (digital sales, concerts and stuff). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHITNEY 30 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 If anyone, SNSD or 2NE1 - it's still doubtful that if you were to mention them to some average joes that even one of them would know them though. Outside of those who are friends with K-pop fans (or Koreaboos) and those who spend all their time on YouTube no one knows about K-pop. I forgot that Wonder Girls had that Nickelodeon movie and featured on the channel and stuff so people might remember them from that, but I wouldn't call that popularity. I'd actually also dare to say f(x). They got a lot of attention when ES was released so people might still remember / follow them. It's a shame SM didn't take advantage of their popularity at the time and promote them more. But again remembrance does not equate popularity.

I stanned for the JoBros and they were on tour with them and stuff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! I remember all of that too. They even had something going on with Nick. A friend of mine who doesn't really know about Kpop mentioned them to me once. That was a while ago tho.

Locke03 1,356 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Truthfully, kpop isn't that popular in America (not the general population, by the way) or it's not popular in the area that I live in. Anime is more popular than them. I have a tendency to hear more about boy groups than girl groups...and when I hear girl groups, it is generally because the girl group is in the same company as the boy group that they like. Generally...I hear SM and YG. Hardly hear people talking about any group outside of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I don't think it did as good, but it was entertaining. It's on youtube. (I'm surprised JYP didn't take it down.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
