Heyday SM: TVXQ, SHINee, SNSD, Super Junior, EXO, f(x)
Current HYBE: BTS, Seventeen, TXT, Enhypen, New Jeans, Le Sserafim
In SM's heydey, no team that was a single stand out, they were all evenly strong and their colors clear.
With the HYBE of today, there's nothing to see other than Bangtan. They're basically covering all their bases with one bullet.
- [+547, -49] SM is self-made while HYBE just gobbled up everyone like a greedy pig and only expanded it's stomachs. I'm not a fan of either agency, I just think they're not comparable.
- [+351, -5] The heyday of SM and now are different due to the size of the idol market so it's meaningless to compare them.
- [+280, -171] No one can measure up to Bangtan so of course they always ask to exclude themㅋㅋㅋ Even if you go back decades and combine all the line ups from back then, no one can get close to their popularity today...move on from the past please, it's bad for your mental health ~
- [+85, -136] Have you gone crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ that one Bboongtan group is better than all the musketeers combined
- [+62, -14] 1 for the line up, but as a singer, BTS is the best.
- [+61, -58] For how long are you moms and dads going to keep with this...if we take away all female and male idols, it's sad to see that you're still living in the past and sticking with the meaningless family vs. agency bullsh**. Probably just farming for comments saying 'SM is the best'.. anyway we know you're a fan ㅋㅋ
- [+54, -67] This is why I feel bad for you guys.. a 20 year career ended with just one BTS lineup
- [+52, -46] I'm a huge BTS fan but even I think BTS changed it all. As times change, each member's popularity will fall too but when I think of their achievements abroad and their popularity, I think they surpass their heydey.
- [+37, -48] I mean just Girls' Generation and EXO alone it's no comparisonㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- [+17, -7] BTS 2021 career >>>>>> SM's 20 year career
