Here’s A Look At The Top 5 “Big Three” K-Pop Boy Groups Each Year Over The Last Decade
We recently took a look at the biggest K-Pop girl groups from the “Big Three” companies in the industry — SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and YG Entertainment — and while it’s debatable whether they all still maintain these titles, there’s no doubt they’re still a huge part of K-Pop.
Over the last decade, the popularity of all K-Pop artists have come and gone, and though boy groups from these three companies tend to be very well-received, there are definitely some that have had more attention than others in past years.
