BIGBANG and 2NE1 made YG a top label. PSY, EPIKHIGH, LEEHI and AKMU made YG the label of not only kpop but diversity. And consolidate the high level of artistry reputation that the label have. WINNER and iKON consolidate YG as a label where the boygroups are selfmade. Independent. BLACKPINK saved YG for falling off grace and remind everyone the talented artist they have, and the popularity they can achieve even in their worst moment. Always Quality. TREASURE will made YG even bigger. And all of these artists, are YG.

[@jennylyn453]

I don't really hate 2NE1, but as a VIP and YG stan for so long, I hate why people always put BIGBANG and 2NE1 in a sentence together. Truth is, BIGBANG MADE YG. BIGBANG even helped on making 2NE1, remember how they put 2NE1 on Lollipop in order to promote them? How they were in hiatus and not as active in Korean Entertainment by 2009, 2010 and 2011? All those years, 2NE1 has the limelight while BIGBANG stay low. Again, not to hate on 2NE1, but you're lowkey putting BIGBANGs name lower by putting BIGBANG and 2NE1 together.

[@ValeBarrientos]

@@jennylyn453 mmm its true all that you said but i put them together not because they have the same achievements, it was because they are the same generation. And actually i never thoyght of their "korean hiatus" as a bad thing. They use those years gor solo abd subunit promotions (Albums Solar, Heartbreaker and GD&TOP, even Seungri and Dae released solo songs those years), and they consolidated themselves in Japan because they debuted there and promoted a lot, that's why they are so big there. And they did a lot of concerts. So i dont complain because maybe they didn't promote as BIGBANG in SK but they were expanding their popularity too. And putting both groups together is not looking down on BB, they were sibling groups, like Winner and iKon.

[@jennylyn453]

@@ValeBarrientos YES, but most of the times, antis of BIGBANG only see the bad thing and I'm quite disturbed when they're always put together. Not to hate on 2NE1 again, but the moment they were put together, people will think that BIGBANGs all the same with 2NE1 when they're not.

WELPP..... 2NE1 PAVED A WAY FOR KPOP 🔥❤️ - 2009 : Fire and I don’t care is a major hit in Asia and making them the first Kpop group that win grand award from Mama in the same year they debut. First rookies to hit 1million views in 24hours with Fire. First KPOP group to have reality show ( 2ne1TV) - 2010 : 2ne1 first full length album ( To Anyone ) was released and debuted at #7 on the billboard world album chart and the same year 2ne1 was the only Kpop artist that win all three grand award from Mama - 2011 : 2ne1’s lonely made them the first Kpop artist that achieve PAK. 2ne1 received their first U.S award for BEST NEW BAND at global competition held by MTV Iggy. 2ne1’s 2nd mini album peaked at #4 on the billboard world album chart. - 2012 : In 2012 2ne1 is a well known Kpop group from all around the world and receive respect from the public in Asia and Western not only that they’re also the first KPOP group to label World tour & first girl group to have lightstick. They’ve got interviewed by Fuse and Billboard.... that’s known as world known media. - 2014 : ( GOLDEN YEAR FOR 2NE1 ) In 2014 they released their second full album “Crush” which peaked at the Billboard album chart at 61 making it the highest topping Kpop album of all time on an American music chart beating Bigbang, Snsd... but the record was recently broken by BTS in 2017. The tracks in “Crush” was downloaded over 5,2 million times in Korea, making 2NE1 the most downloaded girl group in 2014 . Crush also peaked #2 on bill world album chart. Billboard named “Crush” the number 1st Kpop album of 2014. Billboard named “Crush” the 11th best album of 2014. Billboard ranked “Crush” in 9th place on the World Artist list. FUSE TV placed “Crush” on their “40 best album of the world” list, making them the only Asian artist to be on that list. “I Am the Best” was used for Microsoft new software update in 2014/2015, the first ever kpop song used for such a high international brand. 2014 was the year of "2NE1" their song I Am The Best was RE:Relased in USA and top the Billboard World Songs Charts peaking #1 making them the first korean group to get first and second korean act after Psy. 2NE1 has sold over 65 million digital singles, making them not only one of the best selling girl groups in Korea but in the entire world. - 2015 : 2015 thanks to U.S. television syncs and radio play. 2NE1 became the first K-pop act other than PSY to top the chart and led the way for the likes of BIGBANG, BlackPink, EXO, BTS and more to also score chart-toppers. - 2017 : The outfit sees their farewell single "Goodbye" debut at No. 1 on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart. Tribute 2ne1 PAVING THE WAY FOR KPOP. As the evident you can see BTS is so famous today and they’re also the one group that more likely to break 2ne1 record just imagine how would 2ne1 do well if they’re not disbanded and continue there sensational scent of fame. Moreover I think the future of KPOP will need an artist like 2ne1, BTS, Bigbang and Psy. Plus also appreciate an artist like Seotaji and boys, HOT, Se7en.... ❤️🌹.

Honestly the 3rd gen girl groups saved the BIG3's images to the public, RV's debut was used to cover up everything that was happening in SM(especially after members of SNSD and EXO left), they were humiliated but now they're doing good. Twice was also JYP's savior, no offense to GOT7, but because of the promotions they always get, they eventually caught the eye of the public. BLACKPINK was I guess, to replace 2ne1(they're both my ult ggs, so don't come @ me) YG was trying to rise again after their debut but they fell again in 2019, now they're coming back again. With BP's massive popularity worldwide, they sure can rise up again along with Treasure too, a 2 month rookie already sold 400-500k~ albums. I'm pretty confident, they'll give a cb for all their artists before the year ends.

@@huhh6969 Most 3rd generation fandoms are trash. Especially blinks and army. And the trash thing about them is as you said ,they can't take the criticism. Their fandoms doesn't know the word called constructive criticism. I took the example of these two groups because they are the current trend. These two fandoms self proclaim their favourites as kings and queens and says they are the best in everything.About streaming. This also goes to these fandoms. Views in 24 hrs is a big deal for these groups. It's like an Olympics. My sister is big fan of bts. She have 5 accounts in her KZbin for streaming.its like a obsession. The same goes with blinks. It's all about numbers. Like bts dynamite reached 1st position in billboards while ice cream reached 13th. It's been 2-3 weeks. Now nobody is talking about those songs. What is the impact of these numbers then. But songs like psycho (rv) ,shine (Pentagon), growl (exo), ikon (love scenario) really really (winner) these songs may not have big numbers in billboards but these songs are still appreciated by people .Bts and Blackpink are most popular groups internaltionally. But I don't think these two groups are the most Talented groups in 3rd gen. If you ask me to pick best boy groups and girl groups in K-pop in terms of versatility, discography, vocals etc these two groups won't make top three positions in my list. The same goes with sales. When exo became the first million seller then other groups was like we should break that record. The same goes with girl groups. I won't say that these two groups are most deserving groups. All I want to say that yg status don't have that much impact in international audience. Promotions matter. SM entertainment sucks in promotions. While Bighit focused on a single group for more than 10years and done worldwide promotions and it worked.Yg also not that good in promotions but better than SM. In short today's popular groups were able to create a 'fanculture '.you put anything to the fans your fans will make it a hit. A perfect example of a fandom makes a group big. But that doesn't make them better artist. Overhype exists. But it is not only for blackpink.

They’ve got interviewed by Fuse and Billboard.... that’s known as world known media. - 2014 : ( GOLDEN YEAR FOR 2NE1 ) In 2014 they released their second full album “Crush” which peaked at the Billboard album chart at 61 making it the highest topping Kpop album of all time on an American music chart beating Bigbang, Snsd... but the record was recently broken by BTS in 2017. The tracks in “Crush” was downloaded over 5,2 million times in Korea, making 2NE1 the most downloaded girl group in 2014 . Crush also peaked #2 on bill world album chart.

YGE creates many talented and influential artist like IKON( they were at the peak of success but they faced some issue along the way and it didn't end pretty well) which contribute a lot to YGE from popularity and funds etc 3. Here, comes BLACKPINK the revolutionary group which embark their name on both East and west and succeed their goals. The group literally SAVE YGE. They mainly represent YGE to big crowds nowadays despite the big competition going on among popular group and big egency. Blackpink continue the lineage of YG to maintain it's reputation. Okay, imagine If there's no blackpink in YG then YG will only exist just for its name amidst all the scandal they got into. BP brings a lot to YG like benefits, growths, financial resources, popularity and recognition internationally.

Got into KPOP thanks to iKON in the weirdest way imaginable. It was 2018, BOBBY did a remix for RISE (League of Legends Worlds 2018 Song) and boy did he smash it. Then KZbin would autoplay it to Love Scenario iKON. Around that time, I judged KPOP like a book by its cover but thanks to series of autoplay I discovered lots of iKON's songs. Then went ahead watched WIN and MIX & MATCH, Long Time No See will always be my favourite song since it has so much meaning and feelings. Then I ventured to the world of KPOP. Honestly, MMA 2018 was also a beautiful moment for iKON and iKONics and I'll never forget it.
