These Are The Biggest Hits From 30+ K-Pop Groups That Helped Them Get Famous

Not all K-Pop groups become famous the day that they debut – in fact, apart from groups debuting in the big 3 companies, it’s pretty uncommon! Oftentimes idols have to wait for several comebacks before they begin to really make traction in the industry.  Sometimes their popularity comes slowly over time, and sometimes, they can explode in popularity with a particularly great hit. These 34 songs, while they might have since been surpassed in views or social influence, were the songs that allowed their group to become thrust even higher into the spotlight. And they’re all such great bops!
