K-pop groups’ public recognition sparks heated debate online
Fans and netizens are arguing fiercely over which K-pop groups have all members widely recognized by the general public.
The controversy started when a user posted on an online forum, asking the community to name groups where every member is a public figure with high visibility.
Soon after, responses flooded in, splitting the fandoms. Some said it’s only possible for mega-groups like BTS or BLACKPINK. Others pointed to groups with less mainstream yet still strong individual fame.
As the situation heated up, netizens clashed over criteria like solo activities, TV appearances, and social media influence.
No official statement from any agency has been made as of now. The discussion is continuing to gain traction across social platforms. Fans remain divided on who truly fits the description of a fully recognized group.
No clear consensus yet — the debate is far from over.
