Who is more popular Skz or ENHYPEN?

ENHYPEN has been one of the most successful fourth-generation K-Pop groups in Japan for quite a while, and now they can take the title of holding the most certifications from RIAJ of any fourth gen group!

RIAJ certifications work similarly to Circle Chart, though their labelling system is a little bit different. In order to earn a certification, an album or song must reach the following sales numbers to earn the respective certification.

While there are plenty of K-Pop songs and albums that have earned RIAJ certifications over the years, it’s still an accomplishment to earn such an award in a foreign country, and thus worth celebrating.

That’s why it’s incredibly impressive that ENHYPEN is not only the fourth-generation K-Pop artist with the most RIAJ certifications, but they’re also the only K-Pop artist to have all of their albums (both Korean and Japanese) to be certified in RIAJ history!

This achievement comes after their recent first full-length Japanese album, SADAME, became platinum certified after its release on October 26 for surpassing 250,000 sales in Japan. With this certification, they surpassed the previous most-certified fourth generation artist, TXT.

At this time, all five of TXT’s Korean-language albums — Border: Day 1, Border: Carnival, Dimension: Dilemma, Dimension: Answer, and Manifesto: Day 1, have earned gold certifications for surpassing 100,000 sales.

Along with this, their first Japanese single album, Border: Senkou, has earned a platinum certification for reaching 250,000 sales, and their second Japanese single, Dimension: Senkou, has earned a double platinum certification for surpassing 500,000 sales in Japan.

Congratulations to ENHYPEN for this impressive achievement!

These 10 K-Pop groups are killing it internationally, but are sadly not as popular in the domestic market.

1. Stray Kids

Stray Kids is known for having a much stronger international following compared to its local audience. Though they have a sizeable fandom in South Korea, they don’t get as much public recognition as they do in the West.

2. KARD

KARD is extremely popular in the West, gaining attention for being one of the few co-ed groups in the Korean market. While they had garnered some attention with their pre-debut releases, they are still considered unknown in Korea.

3. MONSTA X

MONSTA X is big internationally, but their popularity in Korea sadly fades. Many Korean netizens have said that the members of the group are more well-known for their physiques rather than their music, specifically member Shownu.

4. Dreamcatcher

Dreamcatcher is huge in Europe, but not so much in Korea. Many think it’s because of their more rock sounding music, which Westerns prefer more than Koreans.

5. GOT7

GOT7 is enormous internationally, but not so much in Korea. Though the boys got a lot of recognition after the US tour was successful, they still seem to have difficulty garnering that attention whenever they promote in Korea.

6. ATEEZ

ATEEZ is so popular internationally that for their first USA tour, they sold out their tickets in 30 minutes. Still, their Korean fanbase doesn’t size up. Though some Koreans were already exposed to them thanks to their pre-debut reality show, they are even more loved abroad.

7. CLC

CLC‘s songs get millions of views and streams on YouTube and Spotify thanks to international fans, but their album sales pale in comparison, and they seem to have difficulty charting on Korean charts.

8. A.C.E

A.C.E appears to be more popular in Latin America, even touring their before. Still, they are not as recognized in Korea, despite how some members appeared on the YG Entertainment survival show MIXNINE.

9. LOONA

LOONA‘s international fandom has been joked to being similar to a cult with how loyal they are, yet it seems there isn’t the same energy for their Korean fanbase.

10. NCT

NCT has toured around North America and appeared on American shows, yet seem to have difficulty making the top 20 digital charts in Korea. Many think it’s because the music styles they go for appeal more to the West than in Korea.
