Throughout the years, numerous girl groups have made a significant impact on the K-pop industry, but only a select few have ascended to become the ultimate girl group legends.

One particularly intriguing debate among Korean netizens has recently ignited: "Has BLACKPINK surpassed Girls' Generation as the top girl group of all time?"

Since their debut in 2007, Girls' Generation became a phenomenon, redefining K-pop's standards for girl groups. They have achieved legendary status, breaking multiple records and leaving a lasting legacy in the industry. Their reign as the top girl group remained unchallenged until BLACKPINK's debut in 2016.

BLACKPINK's rapid ascent to fame has been remarkable. With chart-topping hits such as "DDU-DU DDU-DU" and "How You Like That," they have broken records and amassed a substantial international fanbase. Their success has positioned them as strong contenders for the title of legendary girl group.

A popular online community has become the battleground for this debate, as netizens weigh in on who deserves the crown as the legendary girl group of all time. The discussion continues to unfold, highlighting the ever-evolving nature of K-pop and its global influence.

Korean netizens commented, "I think BLACKPINK is legendary overseas and Girl Generation is legendary in South Korea," "The generation they belong to is different so I think they can't be compared," "I think BLACKPINK is unbeatable because of the overseas," "I think Girls Generation is the one-top in South Korea for 2nd generation, and BLACKPINK is the one-top from the 3rd generation. Also, BLACKPINK is legendary," "Definitely Girls' Generation in South Korea, but BLACKPINK would be legendary overseas," and "Girls Generation would be the one-top group if you look at just South Korea but BLACKPINK is #1 worldwide."
