Not only Blackpink is best, Twice is also much good. And SNSD too. I don't know, why did people only vote Blackpink the most? There is Oh!GG too. And why did people like Mamamoo more than Red Velvet? I like Mamamoo too. I am ONCE.
Guys I see some comments that is a little bit mean. I’m not blink I’m once and I like black pink playing with fire. I see that people saying huh look at this this group is Better than this group. Hey black pink and twice is friends. I do admit that black pink is good. But I love twice.
I hope Dreamcatcher will be on the list one day!

Black pink,red velvet ,twice
I don't get why ppl think blackpink shouldn't be first, blackpink definitely deserved their marking on the top.
Yes, twice is good but Blackpink is better in my opinion just bc blackpink Jennie is in a bunch of scandals doesn't mean anything plus blackpink workhard for their spot and fully respect that they are there. I also respect other groups but blackpink definitely deserved their spot
Everglow
Twice forever
Twice forever.... Like I don't know why they are not that much popular internationaly .....they are definition of perfection..... All members are beautiful...charming and talented jihyo and nayoean voice...momo's dance...even Lisa once said that momo is the only competitor to her..... Mina our penguin.... She is so cute... Jaeyoung's high notes.... Sana's shy shy shy....tzuyu visuals.... Chaeyoung rapping skills..... And my bias dahyun... She is just amazing..... She is charming talented and a kinda weird

Black pink is the best beat girl group and im blink blink for ever
just black pink
Twice is the best.
Just blackpink is the beast✋
blackpink is the best
and itzy
Twice is the best
sory, but how is everglow #4. they buy their views
how did u place blackpink on top.
if u want to know popularity in korea from koreans, it's like:
1) twice
2) rv, gfriend, mamamoo, bp
3) itzy, izone, aoa, clc, loona
4) others
ur post is just super biased. also, youtube views =/= popularity
funny how you compare blackpink with a legen like snsd or red velvet. blackpink ain‘t on the level of mamamoo,red velvet,snsd,itzy. tbh g-idle deserved to be here too!! they are way better than floppink
sad if you think that blackpink is on the same level as twice or mamamoo. bp doesn‘t have the stage presence. sorry to break it to you blinks but why stan a group if they only lip sync??? in my opinion bp is just on the top bcus american artists gave them cloud and blackpink only has 1 concept it gets boring
Blackpink FOREVER!!!!
Were is momoland
I'm just going to apreciate all their hardwork.
(i'm multifandom)
my fav gg are clc and apink. as there was no apink and clc i chose redvelvet and i am a RedVeluv
I like Gfriend because even if they are from a small company they prove they have real talents and they believe that they well make it to the end even if they are from a small company,
#Buddy for ever
I think you are jealous about BLACKPINK being on the top.
Or are you really hate blackpink that much. alright listen can you do that what they can ? Stop doing that. blackpink deserved to be on top.
they work hard to make one music and you guys are not seeing anything at all and we have a now Quarntine status of CORONAVIRUS. so don't aspect any new Music Video from these group here. We know we cannot do anything but they will going to comeback shut your mouth. understand.
I like blackpink they posted a new video 5 days ago and they are gonna have there comeback next month
I like blackpink than the other groups but i don't like mamamoo
TWICE BEST GIRL GROUP IN KPOP
Why isn't (G)I-DLE on this list? they are amazing but I Luv blackpink, twice, red velvet, everglow, and itzy
Why isnt (G)I-DLE in this list .Oh My God is a bop !
how is blackpink first ok they did not attend a single award show this year and twice and bts did and jisoo is so unknown and she is my bias it so hard to find a jisoo biased person lisa and all her raisact hater annoying her cause shes thai that is dumb as hell rose does not even get photoshots and jennie has more scandals than blackpink songs ten times more than the songs
i dont hate the girls i love them this just my opinion and this is something i wanted to get off my chest
#izone #everglow #mamamoo # twice but i like every groups one there
Izone deserve to be top 1 kpop group girl....the no.1 forever...#sakuramiyawaki#leecheayeon...fighting
Mamamoo is new revolutionary
Love yourself
ITZY DESERVES TO BE AT THE TOP! It’s my opinion, but their music is something like BTS and TXT. For example, their song WANNABE. Shows how how much people hate on them for how they are. They won’t care a single bit. Because they just want to be their selfs. A message from their new comeback is “Being me is Perfect” and that message can relate to Like the whole World! Their music is amazing, perfect, and relatable. If your reading this comment. Please think for seconds. This is a message that relates to absolutely everyone in the whole wide world. If you wanna be you. Then be you. Anyone that hates on you for personality are fake. Be you. That’s why their big song WANNABE contains messages about I WANNABE ME ME ME!! So be you!
I’m just saying ITZY DESERVES to be on top. And yes Ik Blackpink is all cool and their music is catchy which is basically why they blew up, but I kind of don’t see the lyrics in their songs that catch my attention. But give the new group ITZY a chance. Would you BLINKS want to have to wait for a long time until BLACKPINK finally has their comeback.
It’s kind of unfair for other groups aswell as how TWICE works hard and updates ONCES with their new music. But on the other hand BLACKPINK blew up with only their catchy music. And a few singles and 10 songs at their first years. But still blew up, but other groups work hard and update their fans with music only to have it successful, but still not a hit. I’m not saying others music is bad, but just take a pause and think about the music. And how it affects you.
BLACKPINK is just about love and relationship breakdowns, but ITZY is about how you can be yourself. Doesn’t matter what others say about you because they are Fake. Just be you. Like how YEJI said in DALLA DALLA “WHY DO PEOPLE CARE SO MUCH ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE’ LIFES” And she just party’s here soul out in the MV. I can relate to that. And I know a whole lot of people can relate to their messege.
So give ITZY a chance on being the top with their beautiful message. It’s not always about love and breakups. It can be about just you. Like how BTS said. You need to love yourself before loving others. And how TXT said. You need to accept yourself as how you are. And finally ITZY. You can be whatever you desire. However your personality, you interests, your life. You have to be yourself even when you get hate. From people who are obviously Fake.

Black pink queen
Everybody saying the ranking is biased and FAKE(...) the question is who is your favorite so of course it’s biased and you hating that another group like Blackpink is to be ranked lower, either for money reasons or visual are fake cause you want your group on the list and to be at the top, I didn’t vote for Blackpink, but I’m still a blink, I voted for Redvelvet. Cause I like a lot of there songs I’m in love with Irene and Wendy and love there vocals as a Redveluv I would say they work harder than other groups but at the end of the day what I said was an opinion and not a fact, Twice has comebacks as many times as I touch my face in an hour so what I said, WAS AN OPINION, the ranking isn’t biased the comments are, especially when you try to drag another group down. I am a; Redveluv, Blink, Army and a sucker for Jackson Wang cause he makes me run for my inhaler, everyone has a favorite and just because you group doesn’t rank as #1, you shouldn’t down another on.
twice the number 1 now
that's old guys don't believe
am army blink whos like me army and blink?
Billboard crowned Red Velvet as the best girl group alive... so it’s Red Velvet. They also have one of the best vocalists and dancers as well as the original visual. SM’s training was definitely worth it. Red Velvet is the best for me.
RV = Real Visual
RV = Real Vocal
Stan Red Velvet
Izone Sakura, Exo Suho, and Nct Chenle also agrees with me.
Red Velvet is my ultimate girl group but Twice Itzy and Izone are one of a favorites too SNSD are queens though Apink should’ve been on this list as well since they are a very popular second gen group
Didn't mean to be salty...
But... this page is just so fake...
Like if you actually did research and considered all the small details of every girl group, the outcome (ranking) wouldn't be like this. So dissapointed. :(
Twice is the best
My favorite Legend ever 2ne1 Girls Generation and now is Gfriend
Yay! Mamamoo, EXID, and Oh! GG are on here :)
blackpink red velvet twice IZ*ONE oh GG are the best kpop girl group
Twice and Gfriend are so cool they always collaborate and the best...
For me black pink is best.
Where is g idle and mamamoo they like blew up kpop in 2019
love blackpink as they are unique among all girl kpop group in south korea in a way that they only have 4 members in the group and yet achieve so many fans even though they have a shortage of members among all the kpop group......and also my love for their song"dudu dudu du" is.......u cant concentrate on typing ur message when u listen to their dudu dudu du song and type at the same time(try it if u dont believe me) and blackpink also made many videos unrelated to music videos, about 1 of the event their attending or....etc....it makes it interesting for others to see their cute moments and fierce moments or when blackpink learns how do something,either flipping a pancake for Jennie,cooking I guess for rose,dont know what lisa has to,last but not least jisoo has to learn to speak proper english and maybe learn not to be too scared of heights?????*blink*#blackpink#kpop
and now look at the votes for blackpink its 40%! Blinks forever!
Hope blackpink be the most famous kpop group in the world! bye!
Excuseme how about G IDLE???
(G)i-dle?
Dont know much about kpop, since i'm a metalhead.Iz*One is the only one i know and love
Mamamoo is unique.
Mamamooo has such a unique sound!!
I love all of them they are so amazing and creative with their songs i can´t decide who i like the most because i love the all!!!!!
am i the only person who’s saying izone?
Blackpink has only 13 songs, one comeback in 2019 and completely inactive. In my opinion, despite their popularity in western countries, they shouldn't be in the top of 2020. Everglow achieved more than them. In Korea and Japan, Twice is unbeatable. People need to do a good research.
Blackpink and Twice. Duh!
Stan Blackpink and Itzy forever
blackpink mamamoo red velvet momoland twice
I’m a once forewver cus twice is the best groups ever and black pink is bad I hate black pink I only like twice! I don’t like jenny cus she’s annoying and lazy and rude and I hate Lisa cus she’s reallyyy UGLY and she looks like a skeleton and I HATE rosay the most cus her voice is so ugly and she’s so ugly two and jissoo is FAT and she’s bad at danceing and twice is so cool even tho they are a little bit ugly and jeongyeon is so ugly and fa haha
