On January 2, the Korean forum Pann Nate posted an article called “Do you think BLACKPINK surpassed Girls’ Generation?” It got a lot of attention.
The author of the same topic asked, “If you had to choose K-pop’s greatest girl group of all time, would you pick BLACKPINK or Girls’ Generation?” and got a lot of responses with different points of view.
Some comments from Korean Internet users are shown below:
BLACKPINK wins in other countries, but Girls’ Generation wins in Korea.
It doesn’t make sense to compare them because they are from different generations.
BLACKPINK can’t be beat because they were so popular abroad.
Before 3rd Gen, Girls’ Generation was without a doubt the best girl group. But since then, BLACKPINK has been on top.
If you’re not in Korea, Girls’ Generation is for you.
Girl group Girls’ Generation, which formed in 2007, is known for doing amazing things that made other K-pop girl groups look bad.
Girls’ Generation did well in their time on both the digital charts and in terms of record sales, right up there with boy groups.
On the other hand, BLACKPINK is a global star with several number one songs, a big fan base from all over the world, and a level of fame that has never been seen before.
