The most popular K-Pop groups in the world vary by country. While there are definitely some groups, such as BTS, that have immense popularity worldwide as a whole, if you break it down by which groups are most popular in which countries, you’ll find a surprising amount of variation! The following list was determined using Google trends, which has tracked each group’s Google search rate by month since 2011 and compiled the data together into a certain amount of points. This does mean that older groups have a greater advantage of having more points, since they are accumulative, which definitely shows in some of the results! Check them out below.
