Looking at these numbers, Korean netizens are amazed at the huge difference between BTS and EXO and the rest of the chart. However, the most surprising name and the most admired by Knetz on this list must be Wanna One. With an active period of only 1.5 years and the least number of songs in the top 20, the boygroup from “Produce 101” season 2 still excellently ranks 3rd place, surpassing many active groups with much longer active time than they are.
