Glad to see SHINee in the Top 3 as they deserve to be! So much more to be said about them, but I’ll take the placement! They are absolutely INCREDIBLE

[@mbrow]

You didn't give SHINee's influence and accomplishments enough time. For those who don't know, SHINee created the Rookie Grand Slam, by winning every top award in their rookie year. They were the first to bring complex choreography to their songs, which is now the expected standard in the genre. They popularized dance practice videos and dressing up for Halloween. Their youngest member, Taemin, is one of the top dancers in all of K-Pop and is the first person to debut across THREE generations: 2nd gen with SHINee, 3rd gen as a soloist, and 4th gen with SuperM. He also is known as your idol's idol, being the inspiration and positive influence to many 3rd and 4th gen idols. There's plenty more, but you get the idea.

[@jamesrawlins735]

@@vixxexo6855g.o.d. was a huge force from the first gen. They were big in the time before the digital age - and they had more than one album that sold over a million (which was a huge accomplishment). They never promoted overseas, so international fans don't really know them but they are 1st gen legends in Korea and several of their songs are iconic to this day. In addition, their lead singer - Kim Tae Woo - was considered like Chen of Exo - the best singer in Kpop.

SHINee, the first group who won all major rookie awards in a single year, 'Rookie grand slam' was coined because of their achievement. It took 7 years before another rookie group achieved a rookie grand slam.

[@crystalsnow1138]

@@juahl I get it. I think all kpop groups should be respected for their hard work and talent, but a person also can't control their preferences. I love BTS and while I casually listen to other kpop groups here and there I wouldn't say I'm a fan of them. I know plenty of people who have tried to get into other kpop groups but are really only a fan of one or two groups and that's okay too if they are still respectful to the other groups and their fans.

I love them very much and I will always support them no matter what happens. They helped me through the tough times during Covid back in 2020 after I broke up with my second ex-boyfriend and since then they’ve helped me during the Covid times.

As someone who got into kpop during the 1st Gen, I'm so happy to see groups like shinhwa, G.O.D, DBSK/TVXQ represented since they were the 3 groups that got me into the boy bands of kpop and the first albums I owned. I loved seeing B.A.P represented because they had a huge international fanbase especially in the States and filmed MVs in the cities they did tours. A lot of younger kpop fans don't know how these 4 groups influenced the modern kpop scene, I was sad to not see beast/highlight because they also had a crazy amount of impact during 3rd Gen, but also how these groups affected the laws that impacted kpop. A little shocked to see Exo at 6, because they were one of the groups to help make kpop popular overseas. They were chosen for the Olympics because of their popularity overseas. They are also one of the most successful kpop groups of all time both as a group and solo. Personally I would've put big bang and shinee ahead of bts (thro I love all 3) just due to their long lasting impact in kpop and the hallyu wave. Kpop would not be global if it wasn't for neither group, and they set a lot of trends into place that we still see today. Individual members of both groups are also extremely important to kpop. Both were writing their own music and producing before a lot of groups were allowed to.

[@ruthfischer7615]

Exo was at the Olympics because of SM (&LSM) and the pretense that BTS said they were too good to be there (or better that they kept their schedule open for "more important" stuff - which would have been what exactly?) - which was untrue. Not that Exo don't deserve to be there. It's just not the reason why they were. And frankly BTS is on another level that all the other artists on this list. That is the objective truth. You can have any other artist as what you like best and be their fan - you don't have to like them at all - but it does not change the fact that BTS is another level. I liked that H.O.T. made the list & Shinwha. I was surprised how low Stray Kids were.

​@@ruthfischer7615I'm sorry but shinee by far had huge impact in kpop

[@ruthfischer7615]

@@zyair2713 They pushed for higher choreo performances - but I can't see much else. Taemin is a brilliant dancer and I know they did some writting of their music at least. But "BTS paved the way" is said for a reason by many many artists, entertainers, media analysists and politcians. Seo Taiji told them "This is your generation now" and brought them on stage with him. If you can stomach boracity magazine she has some stuff about it. She also has 2 vids for the stuff BTS introduced. bby gang mag's video essays are older but more level headed. "How BTS paved the way" "BTS: More than K-pop" The channel "Asian Entertainment and Culture" also has some good video essays. And the argument is not: I felt they are. Globally SHINee is niche. Unfortunately.

[@ruthfischer7615]

@@zyair2713 Not sure that is true. What "paving the way" means is that there is now a chance to prove "yourself" - which is what artists like Twice or Stray Kids are trying/doing. You state that SHINee has done a lot - but you won't tell me what you think they did that was so special. Because the performance thing is pretty much all that is talked about - even by Shawol.

When I read the title of this video, my first thought was "BTS better be #1!" So happy that I wasn't disappointed! APOBANGPO!

[@mwaxie07]

Haha same!!😂💜

[@downtherabbithole9143]

Ikr? We’re so used to BTS being dissed over the their growth years that our trust levels are super low🤣🤣 Luckily our Bangtan men have grown into an untouchable force that can’t be ignored. Well done BTS x ARMY 💜

[@lalaking7974]

@@downtherabbithole9143 Fortunately this channel never disappoints with BTS. Their BTS content is great. They actually DO know Kpop, contrary to some of the comments. And some one over there is definitely Army. lol

[@prasathgj]

Even though Ateez is my ult and I love TXT, SKZ, NCT etc...this video sweetly reminded all the phenomenal groups that lay down the path for today's global sensation❤

Very very happy ATINY over here ☺️amazing to finally see ATEEZ on one of these lists 😍

[@caleec]

Bangtan bangtan, Bangbangtan!💜🫶

[@anidii5719]

pleasantly surprised to see Monsta X here! they're frequently overlooked by k-pop fans, so seeing them make the top 10 warmed my monbebe heart 🥲💓

[@BTSVT_9794]

As expected Shinee, Big bang, BTS, Seventeen, TXT, Enhypen, Stray kids, Ateez, Got 7 and 2pm They are all top divas and tiers in the History of KPop Mad respect to them all💚💚🖤❤️💙🩵🧡💛💜🤎❤️‍🩹🩶🩷💥💥

[@connielim1871]

Fairest list I've seen. BTS, of course, is untouchable, but my personal top 3 is Seventeen, Shinee, and Bigbang.

[@ZhongliWife-ou7ju]

Fairest list? Yeah no😊

[@sbyamibakura]

In no way is it fair lmao. If it was then people like Shinhwa and Super Junior would be much higher. BTS, Seventeen, Shinee, Big Bang, can all thank Shinhwa and Super Junior for paving the way for them in everything.

[@liibanboojo1673]

⁠@@sbyamibakurawhat did they do for paving waye😂😂🤔

[@Idgaf_24]

​@@sbyamibakura what did they do to pave the way for BTS? Maybe that's why they had to give free tickets to Americans!😭

[@yamigirl2356]

I always get nervous when I see these lists but I agree wholeheartedly! I may have changed up the order a bit but I completely agree. I have been into kpop since 2011 and to see how much kpop has grown is amazing. So many incredible groups are debuting and still going strong. My favorites on the list are: Ateez, BTS, Shinee, Super Junior, TVXQ, Seventeen, stray Kids, Monsta X, TXT, EXOand more. I was really impressed BAP was on the list. Im so glad this list was a combo of older and newer generations. Kpop is such a new genre in the scope of the world and to understand its history and how big it got so quickly is essential to respecting it. Kpop brings me to much joy and idk what my life would be like without it. I love many groups but I can say that I am now a dedicated Atiny. So happy Ateez was on the list! I can’t wait to keep watching kpop and how it will grow and take over the world.

[@mlizzy9798]

My top 3: Astro, Shinee, and BTS. All the other groups are super amazing and talented, too. Awesome list!!!

[@laural7180]

I think we all knew who was number one! 💜💜💜 Also glad to see Ateez ❤️

[@Abcdefg_2025]

I think EXO deserves to be on top #02 🙌

[@MrsDeeDee313]

For sure! No doubt!

[@danaxol]

Absolutely !!!

[@its_me_flee8188]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

[@loeysgalaxy6283]

definitely, music is top tier

[@MyClinton123]

I love EXO but there's no way EXO they can top both BigBang and BTS. BigBang is a legend already. Only BTS was able to surpass that. Maybe within the Top 3 it can be accepted.

[@prasathgj]

Miss Mojo lady acknowledging Ateez as the Dark Horse of K-pop and their rise to fame without big company background😍; don't matter where they placed, we won today🎉

[@Living_in_360]

This had my Atiny heart all aflutter! They are indeed dark horses - they hit different than any other Kpop band hands down. They are master performers, have the best main singer in the industry, are amazing dancers, and do not have one bad song. I'm so proud they're finally taking off and are neck and neck with some of the big boy companies. 1) Ateez 2) BTS 3) Stray Kids 4) Shinee 5) TXT 6) Got7 7) Enhyphen 8) IKON 9) EXO 10) Monsta X

[@christinab1288]

Posters, albums, lightsticks for most of the groups listed plus the honerable mentions (no albums for 1st gen groups-got into Kpop to late for that) but 2nd gen on. ATEEZ, SVT are favs. Favorite items are my Aroha merch

[@thedreadpirateroberts]

This is literally my list! Great taste! I would add xikers personally cause I like their songs. Especially Homeboy.

[@Alice_Novelland]

Ateez ❤❤❤ Love this list btw!!

my thoughts exactly. they completely disregarded the way exo saved the physical album industry and basically swifted the game from 2nd gn to 3rd gen
