Theqoo Poster’s Suggestions:
1. SM Entertainment
Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon

NCT
NCT has made quite the splash in the K-Pop community and is probably the most interesting concept of interchanging members in K-Pop history. Perhaps one day they could even break the record for most group members. Regardless, their talent and style make them an amazing candidate.
