Y'all judging relevancy based on things like YouTube views or how many times you see their names mentioned on music forums.
VIXX has a tiny international fanbase (basically, it's just me), but don't let that fool you into thinking they're not bigger than 17 & GOT7 in the only place it matters - Korea.
To refute the numerical receipts just because you don't hear about them a lot is foolish - just like when ATRLers call EXO, who have one of the best-selling albums ww, irrelevant just because they've never heard of them before.
I don't know any of them ballad singers who spend 68 weeks at #1 in Korea, but I'm not gonna pretend that my faves are bigger than them, just because I don't hear about them a lot.
