EXO’s “Countdown” Certified Gold In Japan In Just 10 Days On February 9, the American magazine
published a list of the top six “standout groups” in K-pop just in time for the opening ceremony
of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.  Referring to K-pop as “diverse in sound” and “one of
the most successful genres in the world,” the publication chose to highlight six groups in its
introduction to the genre.  First on the list was BTS, whom TIME Magazine described as “one of
music’s biggest social media phenomena.” Next was TWICE, who “made a splash with their polished
take on bubblegum pop.” EXO and Red Velvet followed, with both groups being praised for their
musical flexibility and the ease with which they switched between genres.  Finally, iKON and
SEVENTEEN rounded out the list, with the publication specifically mentioning the success of the
two groups’ latest hits (“Love Scenario” and “Thanks” respectively). Congratulations to all of
the groups on the list!
