Over the years, K-pop girl groups have steadily grown their influence and popularity in the music industry. The year 2022 was the boom of K-pop girl groups, with many notable idol groups making their debut.
Nevertheless, there are two girl group debuts that are still talked about even to this day after they made a strong impression with the first song they released.
K-pop fans recently gathered in an online community to talk about the two most legendary group debuts - miss A and 2NE1.
K-pop fans also mentioned another girl group who would fit in this list and mentioned the rookie girl group NewJeans.
NewJeans made their debut in 2022 and quickly rose as one of the most popular 4th generation girl groups with their unique high-teen yet innocent concept and their catchy tracks.
The girls also made a strong impression by dropping their debut track, "Attention," without any prior teasers. Therefore, many K-pop fans are suggesting they also be added to the list of most legendary girl group debuts.
Netizens commented, "I agree with the Miss A and 2NE1 being legendary debuts," "I can't forget Miss A's good girl bad girl, I still listen to it," "I thought about these two groups, Miss A and 2NE1," "I think NewJeans can be added to this list," "NewJeans' debut was crazy too," "2NE1 paved the way," and "2NE1 was so impactful."

"2NE1 paved the way," - I mean pretty much THIS in terms of their cultural impact of introducing girl crush that doesn't rely on having revealing outfits.

Miss A is listed because they are the only girl group in Circle Chart history to debut at no.1 for the week, month, AND it was the highest-selling song of the year.

Honestly, I would have to say NewJeans deserves a place primarily for their INSANE popularity in a such short time. The last girl group to ever have their debut single go to no.1 was BLACKPINK but not even they were able to achieve THIS level of success within their 1st six months with back to back TO BACK consecutive no.1 songs that continued to stay in the Top 10 for months that would result in them fighting themselves. You can also already spot their influence spreading through XG's most recent release.
