Most popular kpop girl groups in South Korea over the past 25 years. This is not international popularity but domestic (Korean) popularity. Everything is my opinion, but I tried to be as accurate as possible.

I stopped ranking SNSD after 2015 because they are past the point of being ranked.

The ranking is not made to be competitive, I just wanted to make this video to compile a massive ranking of girl group history. The female side of the Korean pop industry is brutally tough and popularity can change easily. All of these women deserve recognition for their accomplishments to spread the Hallyu Wave.

    You can’t deny Girls’ Generation’s power. They reigned from 2009-2015 just wow. Nation’s Girl Group 💖
  • @williambuskey294
    Seeing SISTAR rise, 2NE1, Wonder Girls, & Girls Generation remain at the top for so long <3
  • @jon-el
    The drastical change on T-ARA 2012 being on 2nd place, to 10th on 2013 still hurt so much, and shows they were reaching the top when the fake scandal started and ruined everything 😢
  • @lalremahmar873
    SNSD , 2NE1 , WONDER GIRLS , BROWN EYED GIRLS , SISTAR , 4 MINUTE , T-Ara are the queen of 2nd gen
  • @weightycarlos
    There's just something truly unique to 2009-2014. 💝
  • @josherlee
    SNSD made the list 9 years straight and was number one for 7 years straight. Queen things!
  • @locnguyengroup
    I love Gen 2: Snsd, Wonder Girls, 2Ne1, Kara, T-ara, Brown Eyed Girls, Fx, 4minutes, Miss A, Sistar..
  • @Moonlightxslayer
    Girls’ Generation forever grateful to be a fan of them since 2007 ❤

    I don't mean to get sentimental but this video made me tear up a bit. I got into kpop around the beginning of 2nd gen but there are so many prior groups that I never even realized I was already listening to as a tiny kid. I'm in awe of seeing how much kpop has evolved over the years and though I get a little apprehensive with the market saturation and erratic fan culture,I do love seeing the growth in popularity. Its like watching an old friend mature into something even greater. The nostalgia is beating the crap out of my heart right now!! tysm!😭
  • @UnePommeDePain
    Shout out to Secret, who worked so freaking hard to stay on the top while coming from a really small and bullying agency…
  • @maroimaroi6802
    Girls' Generation is truly something else because of them I entered K-Pop and stayed with them until the end ♥♥♥♥♥
  • @ImHyucks107cmLeg
    This video made me miss the old kpop😫💚 2007- 2015 is the best kpop era for me
  • DSP is actually pretty good at making their girlgroup. Look at FinKL and our Japan Queen, KARA. They almost hit the jackpot with April but Naeun scandal ruin everything
  • @ambernyx3433
    Apink still charting even till this day and was still on one of the tops from 2013 - 2020 is truly iconic behavior. Missing the 2nd gen legends such as SNSD, 2ne1, Sistar, BEG, etc. a little too much
  • @leonardreignn
    SNSD reigned the most for 7 years(2009-15) Secondly,TWICE ruled for 4 years(2016-2019) Notably,BLACKPINK took the crown in a new decade from 2020 til 2022.

    Girl's Generation truly has the most fitting name ever. Legends only
