Few rookies have made an impact like BABYMONSTER. Despite debuting only a few months ago, their pre-debut track "Batter Up" hit 10 million Spotify streams faster than any rookie group, and "Sheesh" achieved the highest entry for a K-pop girl group on Spotify in 2024. Their debut EP, BABYMONS7ER, led to fan meetings across Asia and a pop-up store in Seoul that drew thousands of fans.
TAEYEON, from Girls’ Generation, is a K-pop legend with a stellar solo career. Renowned for her vocals and global influence, she has little to prove but continues to push artistic boundaries.
While Red Velvet isn’t my favorite girl group ever, I do think they might be the best. Their appeal is so universal, and ReVeluv has been one of the best fan groups to interact with online. Additionally, their 2017 album Perfect Velvet is, in my opinion, the best K-pop album released so far. Period. A massive number of awards and recognitions also agree the group is great, so this all might be my most room-temperature K-pop take ever.
(G)I-DLE consistently releases music yearly, with their second album, "2," dropping in January 2024. While it retains their quirky fusion style, I believe it's not their best work.
