Personally, I believe that they would definitely be popular if they debuted today.


Why? They pretty much set the standard of what male singers and members of boy groups should look like.


I believe that the companies that created 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Gen singers and groups pretty much referred to 1st Gen.
