 You're acting like SKZ's 2nd-gen labelmates, Wonder Girls, didn't try to break into the US - and even managed to chart on the Hot 100 - long before SNSD attempted with their David Letterman performance.

You guys keep clinging to that 'mAdiSOn sQUarE gArdEn' performance for your dear lives, when in reality it was just a joint SMTown concert, not a standalone SNSD show. And even if it had been, there are at least four K-pop acts today who can sell out actual stadiums in the US - completely dwarfing Madison Square Garden, which you all hold onto so much.

 

If you're going to credit 2nd gen for the global popularity that 4th gen is benefiting from, then you'd have to credit 1st gen too - since they laid the foundation for 2nd gen in the first place. But when it comes to true global impact, 3rd gen completely overshadowed 2nd gen, bringing in a wave of K-pop fans on a scale never seen before, which 4th gen now benefits from. I'm sorry, but we can't erase the achievements of BTS and BLACKPINK and hand that credit to SNSD, as if SNSD reached even 10% of their success globally. That's just not realistic - it's pure nostalgia talking.

 

Imagine saying "nobody's singing" when SKZ has more people worldwide singing along to their songs than SNSD ever did. SNSD could only dream of having this kind of global audience, be serious :rip: 

Bestie, there's a whole world outside your little bubble. But sure, keep clutching onto that joint SMTOWN concert at Madison Square Garden or that one David Letterman performance I guess :rip:

 

 

WG charted on the Hot 100 because we all got together and bought the full digital single. It was a union of fans trying to push K-pop here. You don't find it odd that they sold 17k copies in one week in the U.S. only when their highest first month sales globally was 31k before that? WG were definitely successful and helped with the wave, but acting like they were bigger than SNSD or 2NE1 here is wild.

 

I credit first gen all of the time. They're the individuals who made K-pop a force. But nobody in the West was listening to SES or MILK or HOT or GOD. The first generation was about spreading influence to Japan, South Korea and China, which they did. The second generation brought them West. How are you, someone who got into one boy group in the 4th gen, a qualified candidate to give us history lessons? 
 

Here's the most famous example of fans singing along to a K-pop song. Notice that this isn't even their own concert - it was a hostile stage for them 5 years prior and they had fans of every artist singing. Also, you misinterpreted what I said. SKZ are not SANGING. Calling them better performers as if we couldn't just hand Taeyeon a microphone to blow them out of the water is crazy.


We see it every generation that new groups move more units and have more opportunities than the last. 2nd gen has surpassed 1st gen, 3rd gen has surpassed 4th gen and 5th gen will potentially surpass 4th gen. H2H will literally have a bigger first year than both of our fourth gen faves. That's just how it works. It doesn't negate SNSD's impact - it speaks to it.
