From "Great Girls of Korea"

As the end of the year approaches, rankings in various fields become a hot topic.
There are many dark topics with both joy and sorrow, but what is fun to see and hear are the topics of people who have brightened the world.
The appearance of LEDs has brightened both our homes and the world.
Speaking of brightness, how much has the Korean wave and K-POP brightened the world?
Even if you don't know about the Korean wave and K-POP, there are many ways to enrich your life, such as hobbies such as sports, outdoor activities, traveling, and reading.
In my case, I have gained a lot through Korean dramas and K-POP.
Now I can't imagine cutting ties with them.
I feel like the flesh and blood of my life will disappear without a trace.
Even if something seems trivial to others, I want to emphasize that it's better not to let go of something you've put your heart and soul into.
★The seven greatest girl groups that Korea can be proud of were announced on Korea's Mnet variety show "TMI News."
The rankings were made of established or still-active K-pop girls.
The list continues with girl groups that have made K-pop history shine.
It's already been five years since Red Velvet debuted.
They debuted with much fanfare from SM International, but they struggled to market themselves in the beginning.
Perhaps the recent scandal caused them to lose interest in their strategy.
Later, TWICE came along and successfully entered the Japanese market with a simple, cute girl approach, and a certain fandom was formed.
It's not surprising that some fans of TWICE would feel dissatisfied with the swollen fandom.
Those fans moved on to other girl groups and became familiar with different styles of music, such as BLACKPINK.
It is natural that fans who have experienced the moving performance of TWICE want to listen to the music of girl groups.
Thus, omnivorous fans who accept the music of other girl groups appeared.
What would happen if the music of Red Velvet, who has more experience than TWICE, appeared?
There are probably fans who listened to their music and sat down under the tree.
The emergence of BLACKPINK as a rival to TWICE was also a big deal for Red Velvet.
While attention was focused on K-POP, it is possible that a fan base that does not suit the music of TWICE or BLACKPINK was born in between.
Wonder Girls is a girl group that has clearly engraved its glory and failure in the history of K-POP.
In Korea, they were a top girl group that was popular earlier than Girls' Generation.
It wasn't KARA or Girls' Generation that took the first step towards globalisation for K-pop girls.
It was Wonder Girls, who aimed for America.
However, it wasn't a smooth journey.
It may sound nice to say that their career was full of ups and downs.
That's a story that can be told when "all's well that ends well."
However, for Wonder Girls, their career was a series of bitter experiences.
The good things only lasted for a short period after they started their career, after which the members' career was like a circus touring the countryside.
However, it was great to see Sunmi return to the group in place of Sohee towards the end of their career, and make a brilliant comeback with the reggae-pop song "Why So Lonely."
This song became a masterpiece that marked the finale of Wonder Girls' career.
Following the disbandment of Wonder Girls, former member Sunmi has been active as a solo singer (she had made her solo debut once before) and has established herself as such.
In fifth, fourth and third place are KARA, 2NE1 and Girls' Generation. All of them have made great achievements.
Each member of KARA is currently working on a solo project.
Seungyeon and Gyuri are active in Korea, while Jiyeon and Hara are active in Japan.
In their heyday, KARA was mainly active in Japan.
Now that the members are scattered, their activities remain modest.
Many KARA fans, including Nicole who is based in America (?), would like to see the five of them work together again, but there are obstacles that make this unlikely.
In 2NE1, Bom has started a solo project.
CL, Minzy and Dara are also working solo, but they have not been doing any notable work.
Of the Girls' Generation group, Taeyeon is the only one who is living up to her title as the "Girls' Generation Diva."
The remaining top two spots are taken by the well-known groups TWICE and BLACKPINK.
In second place is TWICE and in first place is BLACKPINK.
TWICE is active between Japan and Korea. This year, BLACKPINK toured the world.
This difference is what separated the two groups in the rankings.
BLACKPINK took first place and TWICE in second.
However, these are not the final rankings.
There is always room for change at the top.
