Netizens in Korea don't include BTS and BLACKPINK in their lists of the best K-pop star hits of each generation.

The "ultimate hit of each idol generation" is chosen by Korean internet users.
On Korean forums, people are now talking about the "ultimate hit of each idol generation."

Music tastes are different, but the artists chosen were chosen based on things like their success in their home country and their potential to make a difference. These artists are often called "public picks." This subject got a lot of attention, and Korean netizens had different opinions on the sóng that was picked.
One of the original topics chose these eight songs as the "ultimate hits of each generation," with one for each male and female artist:

Gen 1: H.O.T. – "Candy," The Fin.K.L. song "Eternal Love."

BIGBANG – "Lies" and Wonder Girls – "Tell Me" for the second generation.

3rd Gen: "Growl" by EXO and "Cheer Up" by TWICE.

Fourth Generation: TXT – "Sugar Rush Ride," New Jeans – "Hype Boy."

Different responses to BTS and BLACKPINK not being there

The eight songs that were picked are huge K-pop hits that have been important turning points in the careers of the artists who are featured.

But some spokespeople fail to persuade most of the people in the room.
A lot of people disagree about the two songs that reflect the third generation.

Since BTS and BLACKPINK have become so popular so quickly, these two groups' names are likely to be the first ones that come to mind when talking about the last few years in K-pop.

However, "ultimate hit" songs belong to EXO with "Growl" and TWICE with "Cheer Up," which makes a lot of people confused.

When it comes to accomplishments, BTS has "Spring Day," which has been the most popular song on MelOn since it came out in 2016 and is widely seen as their first national success.

Meanwhile, "Dynamite," which came out in 2020, was a huge hit for BTS, making it to the top of lists both in Korea and around the world.

Because of this, a lot of people don't understand why these two songs weren't chosen over "Growl."

At the same time, some say that iKON's "Love Scenario" is the most successful song in Korea and that it should be seen as the biggest hit by third-generation male acts.

In the female idol area, things are a little different. BLACKPINK's songs have been hits, but most people thought they were "not enough" to beat TWICE.

BLACKPINK has been known as the "world's number one girl group" and has reached many important accomplishments.

They never did win a Daesang (Grand Prize) in Korea, though.

There's no doubt that BLACKPINK's releases went viral around the world.

On the other hand, TWICE was a clear "Korean public pick" in the group's early years, and "Cheer Up" has become a Korean classic.

This makes it hard to pick the "ultimate song" of a third-generation girl group as a whole.

The NewJeans were clear, but the TXT was unclear.

NewJeans's first song, "Hype Boy," is known as the "ultimate hit" for the 4th generation. There seems to be a difference in fame between TXT's "Sugar Rush Ride" and NewJeans', which made people doubt them.
Over the past few years, male groups have slowly lost power, falling behind popular female groups like TXT, NewJeans, IVE, (G)I-DLE, and others.

In general, 4th generation K-pop boy groups do well in terms of making money and selling albums, but they don't do as well in digital music sales or getting known by the public.

That is, "Sugar Rush Ride" by TXT is a hit for the boy band, but most people don't know about it, so its status as a "ultimate hit" is called into question.

Here are some thoughts on the "ultimate hits" we just talked about:

Seeing TXT over there…

4th generation male stars aren't doing well at all on the Korean charts.

Why is "Growl" written instead of "Dynamite"?

Both BTS and BLACKPINK are not taken seriously.

What does this list even come from?

I agree that "Growl" went global, but is it the "ultimate hit"?

It's clear that TWICE was the choice of the people in Korea.

What is there to argue about?

Where are BTS and BLACKPINK?

Is there a more popular person in this list than them?

Pann is dominated by SM fans.

It's silly to ignore "Spring Day" and "Dynamite" for Growl.

"Love Scenario" did the best with the third generation…

No male hero from the 4th generation is a popular choice.

BTS member Jin is finally back, and fans can’t stop talking about his new music video.

On May 16, Jin dropped his second mini album Echo, and the title track “Don’t Say You Love Me” is already making waves — especially because of the emotional scenes with actress Shin Se Kyung.

The MV is shot like a drama, showing powerful yet soft acting between Jin and Shin Se Kyung. Their natural eye contact, emotional scenes, and quiet chemistry have left fans saying, “Are they a real couple?” and “Please cast them in a real drama next time!”

But while their chemistry looked perfect on screen, Jin revealed that he was actually super nervous behind the scenes.

In a recent interview, Jin shared, “It was my first time acting with a professional actress, so I was really awkward and clumsy. I was so nervous that things didn’t go as I imagined.”

Still, he praised Shin Se Kyung for helping him through the scenes. “I was very thankful to Shin Se Kyung for her passionate acting. If you look closely, you might catch me looking awkward,” he said, laughing.

Jin also shared a funny moment during filming: “There was one scene in a parking lot, and the wind was blowing like crazy. My hair kept flying everywhere, and I couldn’t act properly. We ended up changing my hairstyle to finish filming.”

His new album Echo tells honest stories about love, friendship, choices, and emotions we feel in everyday life. Fans are touched by how personal and heartfelt Jin’s songs and acting are in this comeback.
