Netizens are currently engaged in a lively debate over which girl group that emerged from survival shows deserves the title of the best among TWICE, IOI, IZONE, and Fromis_9.
In addition to these four groups, there are several other girl groups that have debuted after successfully completing survival programs, including Classy and Kep1er. However, it's important to note that some of these groups, such as IZONE and IOI, have disbanded due to their non-permanent contracts.

Just wanna post about that girlgroup who are always being talked about in the korean kpop community for being an all-visual group. Dubbed as “summer queens” of 4th gen and military presidents for currently being the most fave girlgroup of the korean military.🥰#fromis_9 pic.twitter.com/xmq4wt9zg4

Comprising of nine talented members - Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu - TWICE includes three members from Japan (Sana, Mina, and Momo), one from China (Tzuyu), and the remaining members hailing from Korea. Since their debut in 2015, TWICE has been under the guidance of Park Jin Young.
IOI
IOI, or Ideal of Idol, is another South Korean girl group that was formed by CJ E&M through the survival show Produce 101 on Mnet in 2016. The group consisted of 11 members carefully chosen from a pool of 101 trainees representing various agencies.
The talented lineup included Jeon So Mi, Kim Se Jeong, Choi Yoo Jung, Kim Chung Ha, Kim So Hye, Zhou Jieqiong, Jung Chaeyeon, Kim Do Yeon, Kang Mina, Lim Nayoung, and Yoon Yeonjung.
After their official debut on May 4, 2016, IOI actively promoted their music and even formed a sub-unit. However, their journey was cut short as they bid farewell to their fans through a concert held on January 20-22, 2017, ultimately leading to their disbandment.
The question of which girl group from these survival shows reigns supreme remains a topic of fervent discussion among passionate netizens. As fans continue to voice their opinions, the impact and success achieved by each group are certainly worth considering in order to determine the best among these talented contenders.
