Both are extremely talented and have achieved some great success since debut, but who would you say has the edge right now? BM has the edge when it comes to YouTube subscribers and MV views, however ILLIT is doing quite well too. BM has the edge in album sales, but ILLIT has the edge in streaming counts recently. ILLIT also has signifcantly more monthly listeners on Spotify. ILLIT seems to be performing better domestically and they are pretty even internationally right now. However, ILLIT is currently exploding in Japan and doing very well in China. ILLIT's JP debut has been well received and their recent Glitter Day fan meetings were completely sold out. ILLIT was also ranked 4th in Japan's Top GGs on Japan Ranking Net. All members ranked in the top 50 of a recent Most Infuential Kpop Idols in Japan ranking. They also have performed at Tokyo Girls Collection, TMIE International Awards ( Magnetic also won SOTY) and will be also performing at Japan's largest music festival Rock In Japan, so I'm learning towards ILLIT having the edge internationally for now. BM is currently on a very successful world tour, so they no doubt are making waves in the international space as well. BM has achieved some great feats here as well, being the first 5th gen gg to sell out KSPO Dome, etc. ILLIT hasn't launched their 1st world tour yet, so unfortunately we can't compare them directly here yet. I can't really knock ILLIT here because they themselves don't get to decide when they will have a world tour and YG has put BM on a much more expedited path than we normally see with rookie groups. However, I think BM has done fantastic regardless of the immense pressure thats been placed on them. What do yall think? Who has the edge in your eyes? submitted by /u/tzukani_ [link] [comments]
