Rise, queens
Really though, I'm glad Korea has enjoyed Hwasa's music and personality on variety. After getting so much criticism for her visuals at debut, she deserves this.

Touring?

Well gotta say folks at Forbes really need to reevaluate the metrics. Because that ranking has little correlation to reality.
There is zero chance that twice was 38th in media mentions in a year. For petes sake they are credited with JYP's insane rise and Twice ranked 14th in income under RV?
I thought crack was illegal in Korea.

Anyone know what the time frame considered is?

Also income from all activities or just a selected criteria.


It's hard to imagine over any extended period of time BLACKPINK has brought in more money than TWICE.

Either they were incredibly selective with their selection of earning sources....

Or they were incredibly myopic in their time frame.


I'm happy for BLACKPINK.

But TWICE being disregarded irks me.

Congratulation to everyone on this list

My girl Naeun is number 32. So happy for her.
