The 6 Biggest K-Pop Hits Of All Time, According To Fans

The consensus leans overwhelmingly to #3.

We all have our favorite K-Pop songs that were hugely impactful for our own lives, but not all of them made a huge impact on the industry itself. There are other songs, though, that became so massively popular, successful, and impossible to ignore that even if they’re not one of your personal favorites, you can’t help but admit that they’re legendary.

Here are the top 6 answers in no particular order.
