The most notable female representative from each of the industry’s top companies have been revealed.
While there are many popular female idols in the industry, some have become so iconic and affiliated with their respective companies that the two have become essentially synonymous with each other. Because of how much impact they’ve brought to their company, fans have even started referring to these top idols as “queens of K-Pop,” noting that they’ve really shaped the landscape of the Korean music industry.
