아이돌 그룹 is the standard term for K-pop groups and is distinct from 밴드 (band) or 가수 (solo singer). Korean fans categorize groups by 'generation' — 1세대 (H.O.T., S.E.S.), 2세대 (TVXQ, Girls' Generation), 3세대 (BTS, BLACKPINK), 4세대 (NewJeans, LE SSERAFIM), and now 5세대 is being debated. Within groups, fans use terms like 메인보컬 (main vocal), 리더 (leader), and 막내 (youngest member) to describe roles.
