The domination of different girl groups for the past 3-4 years in the entertainment industry were represented in an imaginary map called the ‘Girlgroup map’.
Recently, various internet communities have gathered information regarding girlgroups’ popularity and the level of awareness about them among the public. From their research, they have represented their analysis on a map. Please note that the map is not a geographical presentation of the physical world.
The maps depicted the transitions from ‘the dawn of the girlgroups era’ to ‘the girlgroup nations era’ which represents the introduction of girlgroups in the music industry to the era of domination by various girlgroups. During ‘the dawn of the girlgroups’, ‘Soshi Kingdom’ and ‘Wonder Girls Kingdom’ were relatively very much smaller compared to Lee Hyori, Ivy, CSJH, SeeYa etc. who ruled over the ‘Girls’ Continent’.
However, as we move to the next era, it was the era of Wonder Girls as they dominated the majority of the ‘Girls’ Continent’. It is the era where Wonder Girls stepped up their game and planned for world domination. Relatively smaller compared to Wonder Girls who conquered the continent, SNSD (pink) and Lee Hyori had also expanded their territories, indicating their rising popularity as well.

The next era saw the rise of the ‘Soshi Kingdom’ as their dramatic and significant expansion pushed the borders further into ‘Wonder Girls Kingdom’ and went over the ‘New Continent’ across the straits. At the same time, Kara who gained some momentum in that era had also expanded and taken control of some parts of the ‘Girls’ Continent’.
Up next is the ‘battle of girlgroups’ era where various girlgroups such as 2NE1, Brown Eyed Girls, T-ara, 4minute, Wonder Girls and SNSD started to rise and fought for their shares on the ‘Girls’ Continent’. In this era, SNSD have the largest territory and besides SNSD, some girlgroups have also crossed over to the ‘New Continent’. They are Brown Eyed Girls, 4minute, 2NE1, Kara (who underwent a major expansion in the era), etc.
Lastly, ‘the girl group nations era’. Wonder Girls’ territories have reduced greatly while SNSD and 2NE1 are the top empires of this era. Also, Kara have secured substantial portion of the continents and ‘kingdoms’ such as After School, miss A, f(x), etc have emerged. The ‘IU Kingdom’ have expanded tremendously in this era.
