As the K-pop industry continues to thrive, the debate over which girl group deserves the title of "the greatest of all time" remains a hot topic.

With each generation introducing new and increasingly successful groups, fans and critics alike are curious about how opinions have shifted over time and what the results of a survey on this topic might reveal today.

In 2011, a survey titled "The Best Girl Group Chosen by Koreans" asked the public to vote for their favorite girl group, and the results reflected the dominance of second-generation K-pop groups. Girls' Generation emerged as the overwhelming favorite, cementing their legacy as one of the most iconic girl groups in K-pop history.

By 2016, the landscape of K-pop had evolved, and the same survey was conducted again to see if public opinion had changed. While Girls' Generation still maintained a strong presence at #1 in both 2011 and 2016, newer groups (at the time) like TWICE and GFriend had started to make significant impacts, making the list.

Korean netizens commented:

"Girls' Generation is the only one I can think of."

"I think Girls' Generation would be the only group that would make this list in 2024."

"I think even grandmas and grandpas would know YoonA."

"Girls' Generation is the one top."

"I think BLACKPINK would be #1 if they did this survey now."

"In 2024, #1 would be BLACKPINK."

"I think the new best girl group would be BLACKPINK or NewJeans."

"I thought of Girls' Generation first."


"NewJeans would be #1 for the 2024 version."

"Girls' Generation."

"BLACKPINK or Girls' Generation."

"BLACKPINK."
