Human: what are some good boy kpop artists?

Assistant: I can search for boy K-pop artists here... here’s some top K-pop boy groups:

BTS (Bangtan Boys), AB6IX, Wanna One, EXO, JYJ, iKON, Astro, SHINee, Block B

Human: Which one do you recommend?

Assistant: Here are some highlights on each:

BTS: The first K-pop group that got an American number 1 album in 2019. They achieved this feat with their newest album, Map of the Soul: Persona, which was a big hit worldwide and won a total of ten prestigious awards in 2019.  BTS performed songs on both SNL Korea (the South Korean edition of Saturday Night Live) and on The Ellen Degeneres Show in 2019.


AB6IX: AB6IX debuted in 2015 as a pop R&B group and were popular throughout the early 2010s as one of the better boy group acts out there. In 2017, AB6IX took a slight turn towards a hip hop sound. Their fourth album, Young and In Love, won many prestigious awards in 2019 including best male group and best singer awards in the 23rd Golden Disk Awards and Song of the Year in the 31st Gaon Chart Music Awards.

Human: Oh yeah, I've heard of BTS. They are really famous.

Assistant: 
Yep, they’re my personal favorite in this group.
Interesting.  I’d say that they’re getting very close to being the most popular boy band in K-pop right now.  But how about the others?  Let me go through some highlights of the other ones.
