Red Velvet and NCT 127 are two of the biggest K-pop groups today.

Red Velvet is a five-member girl group known for songs like the sultry R&B hit Bad Boy and the pop song  Power Up. They first made their debut in 2014 with the song Happiness. They are one of the 40 most powerful Korean celebrities this year, earning the 5th spot on the list by Forbes Korea.

NCT 127, on the other hand, is a 10-member boy group. It’s the Seoul-based sub-unit of the South Korean boy group NCT, which landed the top spot on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart in May 2018 — the first K-Pop group to do so.
