8th place Yoo Youngjin (1 vote)
“The foundation and color of SM music”
“While there are only a few producers who understand the flow, considering that one of the reasons for the success of large entertainment companies is the fact that there are producers who understand the flow, I think Yoo Youngjin’s value was truly the best.”
8th place SUJU (1 vote)
“The largest number of people, Korea-China promotion, global tour Super Show, diversification such as solo and unit units, it feels like they’re the representative test bed for SM group line.”
8th place f(x) (1 vote)
“A one-of-a-kind girl group. This applies even to the 4th and 5th generations that are out now.”
“I think it was a girl group with a new concept that only SM could present. Not only the title song but also the included songs are good. Even if you listen to it now, it doesn’t sound out of place at all. An idol ahead of its time.”
8th place SHINee (1 vote)
“This is because, since their debut in 2008, they have not only performed stably in both domestic and overseas activities, but have also established themselves as an artist with a solid foundation of domestic and international fandom.”
“SHINee is receiving steady love through each member’s solo album performance as well as their active participation in various content such as musicals, dramas, plays, entertainment, and radio. Not only are there not many groups that can handle all content within one group, but it is not easy to say ‘please bring discipline to the loose idol world’ as they have survived issues such as four-member activities and members’ contract renewals. I think SHINee, who has consistently been a pillar for SM, is the artist who has shined the most over the past 30 years.”
7th place NCT (2 votes)
“For the first time in K-pop, we have introduced a team system of infinite openness and expansion, presenting a model that can maintain the vitality of the team brand in the long term. By trying out a variety of music under the neo concept, we have broken the prejudices of idol music and received recognition from listeners around the world for our high level of perfection. Another advantage is that various unit combinations are possible with 25 members. Another advantage is that the image of a stagnant team can be revived through the activities of new unit combinations. In many ways, we are trying various things that are rare in K-pop and are helping the next generation. “It is significant in that it opens up many possibilities for idols’ musical activities.”
“The group has maintained its form well even though it has been a while since it established itself as the so-called A-list of boy groups. The system of infinite expansion in the beginning was a barrier to entry, but compared to other groups, the number of members was large, so they worked as NCT U and unit groups and continued to be popular without a gap, so they seem to have become the center of SM.”
6th place EXO (3 votes)
“I think they were the main players in SM’s heyday. At that time, EXO was unrivaled.”
“With EXO’s ‘Growl’, it seems like we were able to build the image of the top 3 agencies more solidly than before, with the reputation of having ushered in the 3rd generation.” “It felt like a point of the worldview that SM was pursuing, and we chose it because we had the experience of having a fandom that could be called a craze at the time.”
5th place aespa (5 votes)
“The identity who ensured that SM, renowned for their idol groups, did not lose its reputation.”
“Future-proof concept” “Capturing both popularity and fandom”
“Three consecutive box office hits and popularity”
“Everything is superior, including the visual concept and musical capabilities.”
4th place TVXQ (12 votes)
“The beginning of a full-fledged idol generation”
“In the idol history, TVXQ seems to have had the greatest impact.”
“The group that led the SM idol boom”
“A legendary group that has built up the status of an idol”
“They have been loved for their consistent activities since their debut and I think this is the beginning of SM fandom.”
“I think it was a clear turning point from the first generation of idols to the second generation. Without TVXQ, the start of the second generation may have been delayed and the idol market would not have expanded like this. Of course, there is the original H.O.T., but I think TVXQ laid the foundation for the next 30 years.”
“The emergence of TVXQ was a shock in and of itself. I think the rekindled popularity of idols starting from them has continued to the current 5th generation.”
“A group that showed the essence of an idol in appearance, visuals, and skills.”
“I think they are the group that laid the foundation for expectations for SM’s current male idols. After TVXQ, the number of fans who have high expectations has increased, and the fact that they have maintained top popularity while working for SM for a long time is also a factor that makes SM shine.”
“We set numerous records and are still going strong.”
“TVXQ is still alive and well”
“I think it has maintained its solid position for over 20 years. I think it’s amazing that a group of that age is still active and influential to this day, and I think they are SM’s central male idols.”
#3 SNSD (16 votes, YoonA 1 vote, Taeyeon 1 vote)
“As a long-running girl group representing the second generation of K-pop, they have created numerous hit songs and have formed a global fandom beyond Korea with various syndromes and signature performances.”
“Not only has he been loved by the public for a long time, but each member is still active in various fields, making him the most memorable SM artist.”
“I believe that we have ushered in the heyday of K-pop girl groups based on their wide popularity. They have an unrivaled status as representative female idols and are long-running idols who have been consistently active for nearly 20 years.”
“When you think of SM, the first group that intuitively comes to mind”
“They’ve already been with SM for over 1/3 of its 30th anniversary, and they’re still active and an idol.”
“Because it is a group that has both popularity and fandom and is considered a symbolic team in the K-pop generation.”
“It was especially memorable because it was a team where each member’s popularity, ability, and agency’s plans all matched well.”
“They were selected as a Living Legend girl group because they have left a significant presence in SM’s 30 years. I think this team is a team that continues the lineage of SM girl groups and played a big role as a pioneer in opening a new generation of K-pop girl groups.”
“Symbol of SM’s golden age”
“A legend in Korean girl group history”
“Currently called the girl group kingdom, Girls’ Generation is the beginning of the girl group boom.”
“I think we have opened a new era for girl groups as SM’s first multi-member group.”
“When you think of SM Entertainment, the first singer that comes to mind is a group that has been running for a long time without any incidents and is at the top individually.”
“The best SM singer during my school days”
“A strong image and activity from my school days to the present.”
“Because he has maintained the team for nearly 20 years and is exerting influence.”
“A hexagonal all-round entertainer including acting, hosting, and entertainment.
“Because we continue to make history as Girls’ Generation and as solo singers.”

“SM started with H.O.T.”
“The foundation of what SM is today”
“The founder of SM idol group”
“The beginning of SMP and idols”
“The foundation of SM’s growth”
“SM’s history begins with the success of this group.”
“The main character who made SM what it is today and the idol standard model who led the current K-pop craze”
“I learned about SM after knowing H.O.T.”
“I think I made SM what it is today with the title and class of being the first and the greatest.”
“The starting point of idols in Korea”
“Idol era, pioneering fan club culture”
“The beginning of the current Korean idol system”

1st place BoA (33 votes)
“The symbol of SM as the original Korean Wave star”
“The fundamentals of SM”
“Shee is the artist who laid the foundation of SM and is an unrivaled artist who is still active to this day.”
“SM’s spirit, SM’s pillar, a ‘solo’ artist who has consistently shown unwavering skills”
“You can’t discuss SM’s 30-year history without mentioning BoA.”
“SM’s living history and a K-pop pioneer. She is still active not only in Korea but also overseas, leading the K-pop industry.”
“The first artist that comes to mind when thinking of SM. An artist who has been with SM for a long time and has become a symbol of SM.”
