Ranking K-pop Groups by Their Members: Best and Worst

K-pop fans often debate which groups have the best and worst members. This article explores some of the top K-pop groups and their standout members. While opinions vary greatly, this list aims to provide a comprehensive overview based on talent, popularity, and influence.

The Best K-pop Groups

Several K-pop groups stand out for their talented members. BTS is often cited as containing the best members due to their impressive songwriting skills, dance abilities, vocal performances, physical attributes, and rap skills. Another group admired for their exceptional talent is NCT, boasting a roster of 23 members, all with incredible skills in songwriting, dance, vocals, and visual appeal, as well as rap abilities.

Blackpink is a group loved for its dynamic performances and each member brings something unique to the table. While it might seem contradictory, the best and worst members are often intertwined with the group's overall identity. It's Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa who lift the group to new heights through their distinct strengths and undeniable charm. Without any one of them, Blackpink's impact would be significantly reduced, especially in terms of vocal prowess and dancing division.

Exploring other prominent K-pop groups reveals a mix of strengths and weaknesses among their members. For Tribe, the answer is clear; Kelly is the standout, while Jia's performance is less impressive. Mamamoo's Wheein stands out, and Aespa's Winter does as well, with Giselle being the potential outlier due to the "N-word scandal," but many are still divided on her overall talent. In CLC, Yujin is the best member, whereas Sorn's inclusion as the worst could be subject to debate.

In Rocket Punch, Yeonhee is the shining star, measured against Sohee's less impressive performances. For Billlie, Tsuki Shon is a strong contender, while Haruna's performances are under scrutiny.

Groups with Discrepancies
