React to Miss A again, pleeeeeaseee! They have really cool songs like Love song, Only you, Hush. And the that you said looked familiar is Bae Suzy she's also a very good actress with a lot of epic kdramas
I hope you react to AESPA next time. They are the younger sisters of NCT DREAM. Thank you and love ur reactions so bad. ❤️❤️❤️ Im a SM stan since 2007 and a BlackJack (2ne1 fandom) since pre debut and YGE wins this round. Please react more to 2NE1 QUEENS more. ❤️❤️❤️
2NE1 was the game changer in girlgroup concepts, tho 1st gen had attempts, but they dominated girl crush as if they were the origin. After that, other ggs began doing the same. Try 2ne1's Clap Your Hands, Follow Me and Lonely. It Hurts too, it's one great song and MV wasssssssss great
2NE1's actually the reason why 2nd gen fans have high standards when it comes to badass~ery of K-pop girlgroups. Their leader alone (CL) could slay a whole ass girlgroup. 🤟
Highly disagree with you, lots of 2nd gen groups had amazing stage presence. And 3rd gen groups like Mamamoo got famous for their vocals and stage presence. So let's not discredit groups when were acting biased.
@@animecookies8784 i am a kpop fan since 2009 and this is true not a bias opinion yes 2nd gen also have amazing stage presence but 2ne1 is on another level, i think only bigbang can match the stage presence we are talking about here.
@@adriannasanchez because if I wanted to act biased, I would say Girls' Generation had many influential eras and own the stages, especially concerts, with their iconic stage presence.
The lady you liked from SISTAR is Hyolyn and she is still active as a solo artist you should check her out, she's a great vocalist, performer and dancer
2ne1, for me, has the most honest and vulnerable song of the 2nd gen. "Ugly" may have been a fast paced and rocky song, but that one hitss too close to the heart.
I think I'm Ugly and nobody wants to love me. Just like her i wanna be pretty, i wanna be pretty. Don't lie to my face, coz i know im ugly ugh ugh. beautiful song
Girls generation or SNSD is the only group here that haven’t disband yet and this year is their 15th year and we’re hoping that they’ll comeback as a full group. Last year, on their 14th anniversary, they went on a show together after a long time and we’re all very excited about it. Their latest cb was for their 10th anniversary in 2017. Later, 3 of the members left SM but still in the group so the 5 members left in SM cb with a sub unit called Oh!GG in 2018(oh mean 5 in Korean). Jessica,a former member, left (or some people say kick out, we never the real reason) the group in 2014. So they remain as an 8 members group. All of them are busy so it’s really hard to match their schedules. Half of them are actresses and still working on their drama/movie. They also did musical, MC, mentor, dj, etc. Taeyeon, the leader, is active as a regular member in amazing Saturday with Key and you’ve already heard Hate that, Key ft Taeyeon. And she’ll be the host for Queendom 2, girl version of Kingdom. I want to write about every members but afraid that it’ll be too long😬
I discovered 2NE1 after finding out about BlackPink and K-Pop in general quite accidentally. I was sad to learn they had already dis-banded... I like "I am the Best" and "Fire" the most... Very beautiful & talented ladies...
@CAD1LAC i remember blackjacks used that yg article calling blackpink "prettier 2ne1" to make fun of them, not knowing its more of an insult to 2ne1, calling them uglier than blackpink and all lmao
@@Nika-zt1sc they were acting like blackpink themselves wrote and mailed those disbandment letters to their faves im crying. now their fandom rise from the dead once a month to shade blackpink like the crawling gremlins they are
WG, SNSD, and 2NE1 will always be my KPOP Trinity. No other groups come close to having the same impact in shaping the industry as these 3 had. 2NE1 remains my ult. favorite music group of all time.
Yes, Girls Generation (SNSD) is the group with Taeyeon. She is the leader and main vocalist of the group. You may recognize several SNSD members if you watch Kdramas, YoonA, Sooyoung, Yuri and Seohyun are some of the most successful actresses currently. They are incredible, today they cover all areas of entertainment with Taeyeon and Hyoyeon in Music, Tiffany in musicals, the four actresses, Sunny in variety shows and radio, and Jessica (although a former member) is a successful fashion designer and has her own brand. They are still together as a group, and Taeyeon said a few days ago that they are most probably coming back for their 15th anniversary this year. We’re super excited. SNSD are iconic, they are the role models for most girls and even boys. Their name ‘Girls Generation’ is meant to inspire exactly that, a generation of girls, and that’s exactly what the did, inspire many girls to follow their dreams and proof that girls are as profitable as boys. At their peak, they were the best selling Kpop group (girls and boys alike), today all their members have successful solo careers, which is rare for all members of a group with many members to be this successful alone as in the group. As an SNSD fan since 2007, is funny to see new Kpop fans say, ‘oh this is the group with Taeyeon,’ or ‘why are there so many actresses in this group’ ‘look is YoonA from XX drama or Sooyoung from XX drama.’ It’s so cute to me and makes me feel very proud of them!
As a SONE (Girls' Generation's fandom), it'll always amaze and excite me whenever people discovering all these great people (Taeyeon, Yoona, Yuri, Sooyoung, Seohyun, Hyoyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Jessica) are from the greatest girl group in the whole galaxy! xoxo Always proud to start to involve in kpop scene since 2nd generation coz it's a whole different level!
2NE1 are leyends/icons of KPOP! Their name says it all, they literally were “The New Evolution Of The 21st Century (2NE1)” They were the queens of Kpop 2nd Generation along with Girls Generation. You should check it more about them, with I’m the best they were breaking into the American Market, check all their videos you will be surprised. The Check their performance at MAMA 2015
Snsd is the only gg to appear in us grammy awards website. Snsd "I got a boy" is the only gg song to enter the Billboard top 100 greatest girls group song of all time, "I got a boy" and "Mr Mr" are the only two gg song to enter TIME MAGAZINE world song of the years Top 5 and Top 12 in 2013 and 2014.
SNSD have the most time to break in No.1 of Billboard world album in 2nd generation. And SNSD also have two song to break in billboard top 200 album, SNSD is the only gg who done this in 2nd generation. SNSD is the only kpop group to win youtube music awards.
That’s true but I was thinking how, in general, each group feels so different from each other. I couldn’t quite see any of them coming back with any of the other’s songs from those featured here. At the time people really acted like girls always do the exact same thing but all 5 of these concepts are quite different from each other
@@Catz1a yess! All of 2nd Gen especially girl groups has their own sounds. 2NE1 ofcourse! SNSD basically formed the gg sound so it sounds familiar but back then it was unique. Wonder Girls ofc our retro queens! Miss A is all about girl power. Secret has their own distinct sound in both cute and sexy. Afterschool has this mature sound. BEG is epic. T-ARA is the disco and edm queens. F(x) has the experimental sound. Apink has the fairy innocent concept. KARA has their own sound too!!
Girl's Generation (SNSD), 2NE1, Wondergirls, KARA, T-ara, Sistar, 4Minute, F(x), Miss A, After School, Brown eyed girls, Secret, A-pink, Girlsday, 9muses, Rainbow, Davichi, Orange Caramel These were some legendary prominent 2nd gen girlgroups that pushed k-pop to international stardom, maybe check more of them out
I really recommend doing a 2NE1 reaction video, they have amazing records, more similar vibes to this one could be ''CRUSH'', ''CAN'T NOBODY'' ''UGLY'', ''COMEBACK HOME'' but they also have some iconic acoustic songs and ballads ''LONELY'', ''MISSING YOU'' and please, their debut era in 2009 ''FIRE'' and ''I DON'T CARE''
QUEEN 2NE1. Baddest girl group to ever exist. Please do a Discovering series with them. Please check out "I Don't Care", "Go Away", "Missing You", "Ugly", and their live performance for MAMA 2010.
Hyolyn is a former Sistar’s member, Sistar was one of the most successful girl groups, Sistar included 3 singers (Hyolyn - main vocal - Soyou and Dasom) and one rapper (Bora -main rapper and main dancer). People call Hyolyn Korean Beyonce because of her voacl also she knows one of the best dancers in kpop and she can rap too. Hyolyn popular with her legendary stages she is the Queen of the stage you should check it out. Sistar “ QUEENS OF SUMMER “ react to: Touch my body Alone I like that Give it to me Loving u Shake it Hyolyn’s songs: Dally See sea Bae 9 lives Say my name Sistar19 ( Sistar sub-unit group was one the most famous group and they won most of the awards also vs famous group) Sistar19 had Hyolyn and Bora: Ma boy Gone not around any longer Check Hyolyn live performances: 9 lives ( good girl show ) Chitty chitty bang bang (with Lia Kim) Bang bnag (with Ailee and Jessi)
2ne1 is my Queen Their talent,swag, charisma,stage Presence is always on 🔥 2ne1 is the first girl group to hold world tour.2ne1 is one of the best selling girl groups worldwide just for 3 albums only, 2ne1 had no bad song even their bsides is BOP.
"2ne1 is one of the best selling girl groups worldwide just for 3 albums only" Stop lying plz.. They were not even top3 in their generation. They had a total of 14 releases with less than 800k total sales. They have achievements and milestones you can credit them with/for. No need to make things up... We're not in the Dark Ages.. Internet exists...
Of course people will be triggered by this. If you disagree, feel free to google it yourself. Create a new thread & drop facts about your own idols instead of wasting time being triggered here.
The girl you recognized from Miss A is Suzy!! She’s much more well known now for her acting. She starred in Start-Up! But she’s been in a lot even before that. You should totally watch the last 2NE1 mama performance where they surprised literally the whole world by showing up as part of CLs performance! The part in girls gen where you said it looked like a scene from a drama, that was Yoona and she is actually an actress in many dramas!
2nd generation had amazing gilgroups… 4minute, f(x), after school, Kara, tiara and Apink are some of the other girl groups that you could definitely check out.. There was so much variety back in the day
After School was like my peak moment in kpop back in the days. Then I stop listening to kpop. Gratefully Red Velvet brought me back to kpop after their Red Flavor comeback. Now I'm back listening to kpop but not casually. But Red Velvet easily my top 3 fav artist of all time.
@@strawhatnana8872 I literally started listening to kpop again because of red velvet… after the whole thing with Jessica and Park Bom scandal, I kinda stopped listening to kpop and only kept up with Hyolyn and HyunA… But thankfully Red Velvet reignited the kpop fan in me
@@mrinaldas2548 i been listening to many other groups. The reason why I tune in to Red Velvet because of their discography. I can listen to any if their stuff anytime, any mood, any situation. They very versatile. I'm not listen much to Boy Groups. But Infinite & Winner are different.
the way jessica in girl's generation's i got a boy says " dont stop let's bring it back to 1:40" and then they actually sing the segment that they sang in the first minute and forty seconds again. I C O N I C. but imma be honest i think they shoulda kept the electronic beat only for that small dancebreak section
YG groups are really different. They set trends. That’s why they always stand out. Please react to more 2ne1 music and also CL (2ne1 leader) solos like hello b!tches, baddest female, tie a cherry, to name a few..
@@Maguchickenpakmul Wow. From some indonesian like you, talking like your country is not legally producing a modern drugs and consuming in your country. 🤭🙄 Drug is everywhere bru, just go keep practicing singing instead, give your life some worth.
girls generation literally made this type this beat switch ups popular and now NCT and Aespa have them. 2ne1 provided an alternative from the cutesy girly type music and finally we got girlcrush now because of them....imagine blackpink or everglow being "cute" hell nah! wonder girls were the first ever kpop group to rank on billboard hot 100 with their song "nobody" so they partly introduced female kpop groups to the world SISTAR's songs were always public favs and hyolyn was actually one of the first idols to get hate for "not fitting the korean beauty standards" with her tan body and tattoos too Miss A always had bangers and most of their songs had choruses that would end up being stuck in your head. so they ALL were like gamechangers in a way in the industry and are immensely respected.
YES I agree with you in this about Wonder Girls "that they partially intyoduce KPop group to the world" with the song Nobody. It;s the song that itroduced me to KPop through my Korean friend. Then I learned about The 2NE1 which was great, I am hook with 2NE1. They are the best Korean group, above KPop in general to the present day.
Ngl I'm extremely happy when I see someone reacting to my girls, SISTAR. They were known for their sexy concept, they were called Summer Queens, they had comebacks mostly during summer and always went no1 on charts even tho they're not from a big company like sm or jyp like the others. Recently two of the members (the one that you liked - main vocalist and the youngest - vocalist) made a song together called Summer or Summer and it has SUCH a SISTAR vibe. Also Soyou and Hyolyn have their solo career as well if you want to check it out.
Jyp's whisper is something very common in songs of the old groups of the company it was like a label back then, listening to Jyp's whisper is nostalgic for those of the old generation
What many people fail to realize is that JYP was a household name in Korea since forever. His tag is not only a producer tag but also something like a co-sign for the new artist. People seem to be oblivious that he's an artist himself and a very popular/respected one in East Asia.
yeah, every song that came out of that company was produced by jyp himself. It was a tag/brand for the entire label. It wasn't til twice's debut song that another producer was allowed to write for a jype group. I think this is where new fans don't get and think he is inserting himself onto his artist's tracks.
Yaaaaas! Our second gen QUEENS! They all have contributed so much to the industry. Would love to see your reaction on Missing You by 2ne1 even tho they do girl crush like no one else does but their VOCALS are just heavenly!✨✨ And yes Sistar are the Summer Queens of kpop! They used to continuously drop summer bops each year. They're just such amazing vocalist as well and being sexy is not the only word that describes them, they're more than that!🧡🧡
My ulti gp is 2ne1 and yap they r game changer. While other r doing cute and sexy concept, they r giving attitude and idgf vibe!!! They r they one who starting girl power and girl crush concept! But honestly 2nd gg all gave different vibes and they r all good! Even tho i m hardcore blackjack, 2ne1 fan, i still got other 2nd gg songs by heart!! I still cant move on from them
I don’t know what 2NE1 songs you were listening to but I Am The Best is the only one with attitude. They’re more known for having “eh eh eh hey” in most of their songs. 4Min and BEG on the other hand had the most attitude. YG artists all have the same concept because they all have the same producers.
I LOVE THIS ERA OHMYGODD Thank you for reacting to these queens bcs they are the reason I stan kpop esp my fav queen the iconic girls generation and you need to react to more 2nd gen queen like t-ara, kara, f(x) and more tbh
Taeyeon was the one whose wink you were impressed with, and whose attitude you said you loved with the teal hair tips! Yoona who looked familiar is an actress now. Wonder Girls basically had "retro" as their main concept throughout their career, their last two mvs I Feel You and Why So Lonely are some of my all time favourites in kpop! Sunmi was in Wonder Girls, you may have heard of her because she's been successful as a solo artist. Not gonna lie I actually love the JYP whisper, it's up there with "brave sound" and "I need a cha cha beat, boy!" as iconic producer tags! Sistar were the gp beloved summer queens for years, with amazing vocals. There was a serious trend of sexy concepts in 2nd gen with both bgs and ggs, you should check out 9muses and Girl's Day sometime, they had incredible vocalists too! The one in MissA who you found familiar is Bae Suzy, she's an actress now who for many years was the IT girl in SK, up there with SNSD's Yoona, soloist IU, 4minute's Hyuna, RV's Irene and BP's Jennie. Her solo popularity eclipsed the group so completely that it led to their disbandment, many people believe that's why JYP didn't allow Twice members to have any solo activities until recently. 2NE1 was THAT group and I Am The Best was THAT song! It's horrible how YG just dropped them when he debuted BP, they found out that they had been disbanded when the news articles came out, absolutely shameful of him. They were often told they were ugly, YG even called BP the "pretty" version of 2NE1... I do always laugh when newer kpop fans are not used to no subs when really it is such a recent phenomenon, it took years for companies to even start posting official mvs to yt, they used to be uploaded by whoever could find a copy to rip! You were more likely to download the mv to your ipod from limewire than stream it back then! If you do any more of these pls consider KARA and SHINee's sister group f(x)!
if we're talking about 2nd gen girls, then u should check out After School, Brown Eyed Girls, Kara, T-Ara, 4 minutes too. and about 2ne1, yes that's their concept. they were the 1st girl group with that bad-ass fierce girl crush concept. very different to other group in that era. and all their songs are BOP! you might wanna check that out.
You truly need to see the performance of CL+ 2NE1, LIVE. They still being the gg with the most savage and strong energy to me, that performance is legendary and it will always be one of the best overall.
Damn I hope you react to more 2NE1 . I'm sure you will like their songs. YG only had two girl group till today (2NE1 and Blackpink ) and they literally made legend for generation. And there's a second generation group call T-ARA I'm sure you will like their songs to (sugar free, number 9,sexy love and many more) they were literally the icon of 2nd generation along with these groups!
The one that has cool attitude in girls generation is Taeyeon. You should react to her new song INVU and her dingo killing voice performance. YOU WILL MELT iN HER VOICE.
2nd gen is the best gen of kpop, the golden era. The times were very different from the very conservative kpop now... Please check out more of 2nd gen! All these groups are fire, but my personal favorites are 2NE1, Girls Generation and Sistar so I'll recommend those first. 2NE1 - Missing You, Ugly, Come Back Home (check out also CL's solo music) GG - Mr. Mr, Gee, You Think Sistar - Alone, I Like That, I Swear (and check out Hyolyn, the one you liked, she has some great solo music and she is one of the best vocalists and dancers in kpop)
SNSD/Girls' Generation does have a lot of great singers! I love their discography because its so catchy and Taeyeon just has a beautiful voice! 2NE1 also has some great songs...I'd recommend 'Lonely' and 'Come Back Home'.
I'm a 2nd gen k-pop stan, and I'm just overflowing with pride and trivia about these groups so here are some fun facts: Girl's Generation (SNSD) - I Got a Boy was released on the 1st of January 2013, and the "mix-up" style of the song affected many other songs during that year, a lot of groups wanted to follow that style. It was also one of the few MVs to reach 100,000,000 views at the time (laughable now x) and the producers have said that the song came together in about 15 minutes, which is both weird and impressive. 🤣😅 Wonder Girls - They were the biggest competition to SNSD when they both debuted in 2007. In fact WG was bigger than SNSD, but then JYP decided to tried to break into the U.S. market with a song "Like Money" with Akon. It didn't work and SNSD could grow in WG's absence. WG have always had a retro sound, and they made a 4 member comeback as a band in 2015, and their Album "Reboot" is one of my favorite albums of all time. SISTAR - They started out doing kind of cutesy concept, but then they hit it big with a "classy sexy" concept song "Alone". After that they did more serious sexy conepts, but eventually they hit their groove as "Summer Queens". They have so many happy, colorful summer songs that are awesome for a trip to the beach. The group is disbanded now, but Vocalists Hyolyn and Soyou are still doing solo stuff. :) Miss A - JYPs second girl group after Wonder Girls, and they are criminally underrated. Most, if not all, of their songs are about women's empowerment - they literally have a song called "I don't need a Man" x). Unfortunately they only had 7 or so releases, but their releases are very solid. Also, 2 of the members are Chinese and since disbanding at least one of them, Jia Meng, has gone for a solo career in China. 2ne1 - People can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think 2ne1 were the ur-example of the "badass girl crush" concept as we know it today. I also think they were the first girl group to go almost 100% hip hop/rap influences and masculine tomboy energy (at least in their early career). I think "I Am The Best" was also one of few songs to reach 100,000,000 views at the time, and it's definitely deserved. Thank you for reacting to these older videos! I hope you check out more, the 2nd generation is sometimes also called "The Golden Age of K-pop", so there's a lot of reallly good stuff here. :)
The first kpop group i listened to was 2ne1, i remember going through the channels on my tv and i love you x 2ne1 was playing and i fell in love. I didn’t really listen to anything else after them and didn’t listen to kpop for years and then i randomly came across BTS and now I’m here again and in love again lol
I really enjoyed your reaction it makes me happy because although I got to k-pop in 2016 during third entirely by accident I stumbled music video for girls generations gee and after that I discovered more second gen groups before really getting into 3rd gen starting with blackpink which debuted the year I got into K-pop I was surprised to learn that the concept was loosely based off 2ne1
Blackpink are literally the same label as 2NE1, and there are rumors that the ceo at the time wanted to debut a new girl group that would be "pretty" 2NE1. They are actually 2NE1's little sister group.
@@MsJokyo hence why I said why I said blackpink loosely based off 2ne1 when something is loosely based off of something that means they take a lot of inspiration from it but it's not an exact copy and that is exactly what they made blackpink to be
I wasn’t even into Kpop before but I like 2NE1. I love that they were different. Also, I knew you would like Hyorin from Sistar. She’s one of my favorite female vocalists, not just in KPop, but in general. She’s awesome.
Not me leaving Yeti a comment for almost every song HAHAHA - as a 2nd Gen I got so excited in this reaction! Also I just needed to say… 2NE1 THE MOTHER OF GIRL CRUSH YAAAASSS! So 2NE1 is BlackPinks senior in YG, the only other girl group YG is had. However, you see that BlackPink are not as aggressive as 2NE1, they definitely has a more aggressive concept. That’s because YG wanted to create a group that could be as badass as 2NE1 and as sexy, cute and mainstream as Girls Generation, and that is how BlackPinks concept was born, a fusion of 2NE1 with SNSD. Mix it perfectly and BOOM we got the worlds best girl group currently. All of them QUEENS 👑👑👑
@@bunnywar yes, there was Swi.T back in 2002, but they didn’t event last 2 years before disbanding. Although a former YG girl group they lasted very little and compared to S.E.S, Baby V.O.X and Fin.K.L they didn’t fair well at all in the 1st Gen. But, yes, they did have a 1st Gen gg.
Shut up it's producer rights and JYP is nice JYPE, the company, isnt. And bet whenever I hear JYP I already know it's a bop. YALL THE SAME PEOPLE WHO PREACH TO LOVE EACH OTHER REGARDLESS OF LOOKS AND THAT EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT HERE YOU ARE. Jyp had no control of how he looks like, he was called ugly yet never got surgery. That man is a talented producer and songwriter.
@@bingsu7824 jeez.. calm down.. people are entitled to their opinions. I am happy that you enjoy his signature jyp whisper, but I don’t… and no one, except you, mentioned anything about his looks.
2NE1 was a South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment, which was active between 2009 and 2016. The group was composed of four members: Bom, CL, Dara, and Minzy. Known for breaking typical stereotypes of K-pop, musical experimentation, fashion, and stage presence, they are recognized for expanding girl group styles in the Korean music industry and have become one of the leading figures of the Korean wave.
I didn't think that anyone who heard 3rd and 4th gen groups wouldn't find I got a boy new and strange for mixing multiple sounds until I watched this reaction. New groups have been doing that more frequently but never forget who started it!
2nd gen kpop is what introduced me to kpop and after that I didn't follow that much groups after that generation. Idk I still listen to new kpop songs rn but I just don't follow the newer groups that much anymore unlike how I craze over the older kpop groups.
I hope you could react more to 2ne1. They are actually the 2nd gen girl group representative of YG Entertainment and sunbaes of BLACKPINK. I would also want you to try and search for the MV and type "English Subs". There are music videos that were subbed not by the company but the subbing team of the fandoms. Since most of the MVs of 2nd generation are heavily fandom subbed. That was just our culture then 💕 And will definitely recommend their song "Ugly" with Subs, because that song was the one that got me through my insecurities when I was still a teenager. 🥺
Hi, I'm a new to your channel and i must say that 2ne1 is really the game changer in the music industry especially for the female groups. I hope you can react more to their music like falling inlove, crush and more. Thank you! I will be waiting for your next reaction.❤
Fun fact: The MV for Girls' Generation's "I Got A Boy" was produced by Zanybros the same company that is now representing the Kpop soloist AleXa. In 2013 this video topped the charts and it beat American MVs by Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, etc. for video of the year at the RUclips video awards. SNSD are "the nation's girl group" and considered queens for a reason. :D They are the girl group (along with 2NE1), that all other girl groups who came after them are modeled after. The guy is just a model/actor which is why you never see his face because it doesn't matter who he is. In order of appearance: Jessica -- who is one of the two Korean-American members -- Taeyeon -- the leader, main vocal and one of the most popular female solo artists -- and Seohyun -- lead vocal and maknae (youngest) -- were the singers during the ballad breakdown section. SM is known for their power vocalists, so you will find amazing vocalists like this in all of SM's groups, including boy groups. Fun fact No. 2: Jessica Jung is Krystal Jung's older sister. Krystal is a member of SM's former girl group F(x) who is SHINee's little sister group. F(x) is pretty much the female version of SHINee. Jessica and Krystal were one of the first -- and for a long time, only -- siblings to both be under the same Kpop company but in separate equally popular groups. "I Got a Boy" was part of the era when Kpop songs were created to give an equal amount of lines to every member. So, because SNSD has 9 members, this song is longer than a lot of Kpop songs, which gives them time to do a lot of different things in the song. ;P Switching up the beat in Kpop songs is just kind of part of what makes Kpop unique. Case in point, in "I Got a Boy" Jessica literally says, "Lets bring it back to 1-40" which is a reference to switching up the tempo -- changing it from that slower ballad section and bringing the song back to the faster beat. "I Got a Boy" is structured the same way as YG Entertainment's boy group BigBang's song, "Bang Bang Bang," but "Bang Bang Bang" came out in 2015, 2 years later. And now we see most of SM's songs are structured in a very similar way. Girls' Generation debuted in 2007 so 2021 was their 14th anniversary. As you have discovered, they are known as one of the most visually stunning girl groups with some of the best vocals and dancers in the industry. As an SM Entertainment group it shouldn't be a surprise that they are such great singers and dancers. That is just what you should expect from SM groups. :D SM Entertainment is considered the vocal powerhouse of the industry and the company is known for putting a huge emphasis on finding and cultivating some of the best vocalists in Kpop. You literally can't be an SM artist without having amazing singing and dancing skills. Even SM's rappers get intense training as vocalists, so all of the company's artists are amazing singers. SM Entertainment is the company that started the Kpop industry and they are the largest and most powerful entertainment company in Korea and around the world. SM's founder, Lee SooMan, started what we know as Kpop today way back in 1996, with the very first Kpop boy group H.O.T. (High-Five of Teenager) and girl group S.E.S. So the company knows what it is doing when it comes to creating mega hits and groups and songs that can withstand the test of time.
Girls generation is the one who brought me into kpop world. I love them so much, i really really do. No doubt, 2nd generation is the Golden era of kpop.
My first ever ultimates were 2NE1 and BIGBANG. I was so heartbroken after 2NE1 broke up that I promised never to stan another kpop group again. Then, in 2018 (2 years after they debuted) I finally listened to BP songs and instantly fell in love with LALISA MANOBAN. Now, here I am again going full YG stan this time. 😩
Girls' Generation set the standard and they are now the role model and text book of all girl groups in KPOP. Their discographies are diverse, they popularized having different concepts in kpop when everyone was having the same sound and concept every comeback. They were also called the Nation's Girl Group and Nation's Singer because of their top tier vocals.
Check out more 2NE1. I am very sure u would love them. They were very successful but due to some scandals (fake) their entire Carrey was destroyed. We to see them 4 again in the future. Most of their songs are produced by Teddy (Blackpink main producer) they really have good music. Please check them out especially live performances
I would definitely suggest going through 2ne1‘s discography they were definitely a strong precursor and a very successful girl band before the ones we had today they tackled A lot of different lyrical and social things ain there songs where other groups shyd away from that they pushed a lot of boundaries when it came to K-pop.
Kpop really lost a lot when 2NE1 was disbanded. Would definitely recommend their accapela performance of "Come back home". Their debut "Fire" was also very good.
2NE1 is actually from YG same agency with BIGBANG and BLACKPINK that is why they hit different if u know what i mean :) love your reaction and waiting for more ♥️
It's so sad that YG disbanded 2NE1. With the recent YG Family interactions and tidbits we've been getting lately, it's safe to assume the next YG Family concert is coming soon (finally after several years)..and it's so sad 2NE1 can't be a part of that now. Imagine a 2NE1 x BLACKPINK stage 😭 CL and JenLisa's power alone speak volumes. I'm not a fan of comparing groups especially since I love both 2NE1 and BP but you can see how YG got the rough idea of JenLisa's image and vibe through CL (not saying they're copies, I'm a mega Blink but just how the starting basis on what to do with them). Yeah they took it and made it their own but it's interesting how YG took 2NE1's concept and developed it for the future generation and made BLACKPINK. btw CL, Minzy, Dara, and Bom just got back together (they uploaded pics of them together last week) and it just brought me to tears 😭 I hope we get more 2NE1. BIGBANG is also coming back after several years (the most awaited comeback in modern Kpop) and then soon after will be BLACKPINK's comeback. I dunno if we'll also get Jisoo's solo this year but we're expecting that after the group comeback. What a good time to be a YG artist fan 😎
As an old kpop fan(BP is the first YG group that i like, im more of an SM groups kind of fan, still i was a fan when 2nd gen groups where active) , i kind of disagree with your comparison, CL and Jennie/Lisa image are vastly different,and even the whole concept of the groups is different, BP has never done “girl crush” like 2ne1 or 4minute did back in the day; the only thing both groups have in common is YGE not giving them the treatment and opportunities they deserves, i mean CL was super capable to create the songs of 2ne1 but YG only let her participate in what 5 songs? The track record of the company managing their female artists sucks 😭each group has their own identity and the comparison is even more of a “touchy” subject when you see that even today is used to heavily hate BP (to clarify i dont see your comment as hate, just that the comparison has been used to hate BP since debut)
Yes, 2NE1 did make an anniversary reunion. Dara is doing TV commentary, not much singing but still loves it, CL, Bom and Minzy are still actively singing solo, but are all in different companies, so a musical come back seems unlikely. As for BigBang, Seungri left the group in 2019, and yes a come back is scheduled for this year, but I think they will do the same thing 2NE1 did with GOODBYE. One song and disband, as T.O.P also mentioned he will leave the group after the come back. He said he will pursue in making his own company which will help idol groups not live such hardships he went through. He will also continue writing songs as he has written over 100 songs while with BigBang, so I think he will be the next Teddy Park of YG in a similar fashion. And I am also waiting for a YG concert, which may or may not have BigBang, maybe just GDragon, Teayang, Deasung along with the rest of YG groups like IKON, Sechskies, Winner, Treasure, and BlackPink plus the duo acts, AKMU etc.
@@carlapunk77 true. And consequently, 2NE1 too was hated on, with toxic Blinks attacking their faves' seniors. It was a mess and honestly it still baffles me how BP had one of the biggest debuts of Kpop despite all that mess (especially since 2NE1's disbandment happened around the time BP debuted...though we knew it was coming.. I hope YG the company as a whole has reformed from that... especially their misogynistic practices...really it's 2022.)
@@nrmnnk4057 I'm happy the 2NE1 members are doing their own thing. One thing I noticed is that Blackjacks were recently feuding around the time Minzy came out with "Teamo". There was fighting within the fandom with some expressing their frustration for the lack of support for Minzy's comeback (it was released almost a year ago and yet the MV hasn't even surpassed 2M views) while CL's get 10M+ in a day. I love all the members, support Minzy too 😭 Yeah BIGBANG losing 2 members is a huge hit for me personally 😭 I hope top does well in his future career endeavors (though I think the recent comeback will still have him) and for Seungri I think it's a good idea for him to leave the industry. He needs time to think and reform himself. Despite all this, I'm still hyped for the comeback and I'll continue to support BIGBANG no matter what 🔥 So hyped most of all for BP's 2022 comeback and hopefully Jisoo's solo 🔥🔥🔥 Treasure's Jikjin is sooo good. And iKON's dance cover of it featuring them was (don't mind the pun) "iKONic" 😅 The YG interactions we've been getting recently from Kingdom to Game Caterers got me even more hyped for the YG Family concert. They haven't done one in years now. I just wish Lee Hi and 2NE1 get to perform too but I know that's just wishful thinking 😭
@@mediocritycentral of course all the toxicity is awful from both sides, but to be honest blinks didnt even exist properly when blackjacks where blaming the girls for the disbandment, and commenting hate in every pre debut picture or in the comments of YHS instagram, i saw with my own eyes on twitter and korean forums everyone demanding YGE to give their artists better treatment right under the girls pre debut pictures and announcement, the girls never had a easy path to debut and the comparison made and that are still made just make everything worse, both groups are full of grrat talented women, we should just stop comparing them, even more now that the only common thing they have is debuting in a agency who doesnt treat their female artists with equality and dont give the same opportunities than their male peers, thats why BP and Suhyun are currently the only women in YGE, and how things are going with Bp not releasing music or content as a group since 2020 i doubt they renew
After 2NE1 I left Kpop and now I'm back with blackpink YG just hits different ❤️ I love BIGBANG and Treasure ikon and winner too and all YG works muah lovelots.
2:56 Fyi, the girl here is Yoona, she's also an actress. So, if you like, you can watch her kdramas such as "Prime Minister and I", "Love Rain", "The K2", etc.

Blackpink, 2ne1 are sisters
Love your videos please discover to twice also if you can😊
React to Miss A again, pleeeeeaseee! They have really cool songs like Love song, Only you, Hush. And the that you said looked familiar is Bae Suzy she's also a very good actress with a lot of epic kdramas
Please react 2ne1 🙏
I hope you react to AESPA next time. They are the younger sisters of NCT DREAM. Thank you and love ur reactions so bad. ❤️❤️❤️
Im a SM stan since 2007 and a BlackJack (2ne1 fandom) since pre debut and YGE wins this round. Please react more to 2NE1 QUEENS more. ❤️❤️❤️
2NE1 was the game changer in girlgroup concepts, tho 1st gen had attempts, but they dominated girl crush as if they were the origin. After that, other ggs began doing the same. Try 2ne1's Clap Your Hands, Follow Me and Lonely. It Hurts too, it's one great song and MV wasssssssss great
I would also like to add Ugly, Come Back Home, Falling in Love, and also CL's Baddest B, Bom's You and I
@@voidwalker1234 omg yes! Come back home is a must!!
@@voidwalker1234 I wailed at You and I wth was that song, and the MV too
i love how most of people in this cs talking about QUEEN 2NE1 ❤
BLACKJACK FOREVER!! ❤
2NE1's actually the reason why 2nd gen fans have high standards when it comes to badass~ery of K-pop girlgroups. Their leader alone (CL) could slay a whole ass girlgroup. 🤟
Two Triple threats in a group of only four members. It was insane thinking back on it now,
Not only girlgroup, CL can outperform the boygroups as well.
2NE1's stage presence is unmatched. Their live performances are worth to watch!
Highly disagree with you, lots of 2nd gen groups had amazing stage presence. And 3rd gen groups like Mamamoo got famous for their vocals and stage presence. So let's not discredit groups when were acting biased.
@@animecookies8784 how r they acting biased lol
@@animecookies8784 She's stating facts tho. Yes other girlgroups has also stage presence but 2NE1's stage presence is definitely on another level.
@@animecookies8784 i am a kpop fan since 2009 and this is true not a bias opinion yes 2nd gen also have amazing stage presence but 2ne1 is on another level, i think only bigbang can match the stage presence we are talking about here.
@@adriannasanchez because if I wanted to act biased, I would say Girls' Generation had many influential eras and own the stages, especially concerts, with their iconic stage presence.
The lady you liked from SISTAR is Hyolyn and she is still active as a solo artist you should check her out, she's a great vocalist, performer and dancer
And she’s on queendom season 2!!
Yes. My all time bias
YESSSSS
my bias in Sistar....forever and ever
Yess hyolyn is a queen
2ne1, for me, has the most honest and vulnerable song of the 2nd gen. "Ugly" may have been a fast paced and rocky song, but that one hitss too close to the heart.
I think I'm Ugly and nobody wants to love me. Just like her i wanna be pretty, i wanna be pretty. Don't lie to my face, coz i know im ugly ugh ugh. beautiful song
Girls generation or SNSD is the only group here that haven’t disband yet and this year is their 15th year and we’re hoping that they’ll comeback as a full group. Last year, on their 14th anniversary, they went on a show together after a long time and we’re all very excited about it. Their latest cb was for their 10th anniversary in 2017. Later, 3 of the members left SM but still in the group so the 5 members left in SM cb with a sub unit called Oh!GG in 2018(oh mean 5 in Korean). Jessica,a former member, left (or some people say kick out, we never the real reason) the group in 2014. So they remain as an 8 members group. All of them are busy so it’s really hard to match their schedules. Half of them are actresses and still working on their drama/movie. They also did musical, MC, mentor, dj, etc. Taeyeon, the leader, is active as a regular member in amazing Saturday with Key and you’ve already heard Hate that, Key ft Taeyeon. And she’ll be the host for Queendom 2, girl version of Kingdom. I want to write about every members but afraid that it’ll be too long😬
They are coming back in Aug!!
Here after they released the teaser pics, we are fed!
I discovered 2NE1 after finding out about BlackPink and K-Pop in general quite accidentally. I was sad to learn they had already dis-banded... I like "I am the Best" and "Fire" the most... Very beautiful & talented ladies...
@CAD1LAC i remember blackjacks used that yg article calling blackpink "prettier 2ne1" to make fun of them, not knowing its more of an insult to 2ne1, calling them uglier than blackpink and all lmao
Same these two are iconic
Poor blackpink when they debuted all 2ne1 fans were hating them 😔
@@Nika-zt1sc they were acting like blackpink themselves wrote and mailed those disbandment letters to their faves im crying. now their fandom rise from the dead once a month to shade blackpink like the crawling gremlins they are
@@OO27.88 true ☠️, they were sending letters to Minzy and telling her to leave group, she did 😔 and her career tanked 😭
WG, SNSD, and 2NE1 will always be my KPOP Trinity. No other groups come close to having the same impact in shaping the industry as these 3 had. 2NE1 remains my ult. favorite music group of all time.
hi fellow Blackjack ^^
Yeeaassss same!!!!!
True👑
Hi blackjack,
From sone
And Kara too
2ne1's performances were the best, they had all the charisma
I mean they literally have a song we’re they state that they are the best so yeah, I live them and I miss them
Yes, Girls Generation (SNSD) is the group with Taeyeon. She is the leader and main vocalist of the group. You may recognize several SNSD members if you watch Kdramas, YoonA, Sooyoung, Yuri and Seohyun are some of the most successful actresses currently. They are incredible, today they cover all areas of entertainment with Taeyeon and Hyoyeon in Music, Tiffany in musicals, the four actresses, Sunny in variety shows and radio, and Jessica (although a former member) is a successful fashion designer and has her own brand.
They are still together as a group, and Taeyeon said a few days ago that they are most probably coming back for their 15th anniversary this year. We’re super excited.
SNSD are iconic, they are the role models for most girls and even boys. Their name ‘Girls Generation’ is meant to inspire exactly that, a generation of girls, and that’s exactly what the did, inspire many girls to follow their dreams and proof that girls are as profitable as boys.
At their peak, they were the best selling Kpop group (girls and boys alike), today all their members have successful solo careers, which is rare for all members of a group with many members to be this successful alone as in the group.
As an SNSD fan since 2007, is funny to see new Kpop fans say, ‘oh this is the group with Taeyeon,’ or ‘why are there so many actresses in this group’ ‘look is YoonA from XX drama or Sooyoung from XX drama.’ It’s so cute to me and makes me feel very proud of them!
and after 5 years of haitus, SNSD will be back with the new full albumm
2NE1 actually started the "girl crush" concept😂
ofcourse they r , CL clearly invented girl crush
As a SONE (Girls' Generation's fandom), it'll always amaze and excite me whenever people discovering all these great people (Taeyeon, Yoona, Yuri, Sooyoung, Seohyun, Hyoyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Jessica) are from the greatest girl group in the whole galaxy! xoxo Always proud to start to involve in kpop scene since 2nd generation coz it's a whole different level!
2ne1 raised me lmao they are my standard in kpop ggs
2NE1 are leyends/icons of KPOP! Their name says it all, they literally were “The New Evolution Of The 21st Century (2NE1)”
They were the queens of Kpop 2nd Generation along with Girls Generation. You should check it more about them, with I’m the best they were breaking into the American Market, check all their videos you will be surprised. The Check their performance at MAMA 2015
Snsd is the only gg to appear in us grammy awards website. Snsd "I got a boy" is the only gg song to enter the Billboard top 100 greatest girls group song of all time, "I got a boy"
and "Mr Mr" are the only two gg song to enter TIME MAGAZINE world song of the years Top 5 and Top 12 in 2013 and 2014.
SNSD have the most time to break in No.1 of Billboard world album in 2nd generation. And SNSD also have two song to break in billboard top 200 album, SNSD is the only gg who done this in 2nd generation. SNSD is the only kpop group to win youtube music awards.
SNSD have the most view in youtube in 2nd generation of kpop, who opened america market, i think it is really easy to find out
When you play these songs and MVs back to back to back, you can really see 2ne1's distinction among the rest.
That’s true but I was thinking how, in general, each group feels so different from each other. I couldn’t quite see any of them coming back with any of the other’s songs from those featured here. At the time people really acted like girls always do the exact same thing but all 5 of these concepts are quite different from each other
@@Catz1a yess! All of 2nd Gen especially girl groups has their own sounds. 2NE1 ofcourse! SNSD basically formed the gg sound so it sounds familiar but back then it was unique. Wonder Girls ofc our retro queens! Miss A is all about girl power. Secret has their own distinct sound in both cute and sexy. Afterschool has this mature sound. BEG is epic. T-ARA is the disco and edm queens. F(x) has the experimental sound. Apink has the fairy innocent concept. KARA has their own sound too!!
One of a kind #2ne1
Sa true
2nd Gen will forever be the Golden Era. I miss those dayss. Hoping for 2nd part! 4minute, Kara, T-ara, f(x), afterschool and Secret.
You know what's up. T-Ara and KARA were queens too
Girl's Generation (SNSD), 2NE1, Wondergirls, KARA, T-ara, Sistar, 4Minute, F(x), Miss A, After School, Brown eyed girls, Secret, A-pink, Girlsday, 9muses, Rainbow, Davichi, Orange Caramel
These were some legendary prominent 2nd gen girlgroups that pushed k-pop to international stardom, maybe check more of them out
Hahaha you even included my beloved 8282 Davichi, thanks =D
I totally agree! Second generation girl groups were, and still are amazing! I miss their music.
2nd gen really hits different the competition was fierce everything was just at their peak
I really recommend doing a 2NE1 reaction video, they have amazing records, more similar vibes to this one could be ''CRUSH'', ''CAN'T NOBODY'' ''UGLY'', ''COMEBACK HOME'' but they also have some iconic acoustic songs and ballads ''LONELY'', ''MISSING YOU'' and please, their debut era in 2009 ''FIRE'' and ''I DON'T CARE''
the "let's bring it back to 140" in Girls generation was two ways thought out:
140 bpm in the song
1:40 the time where the beat changes
QUEEN 2NE1. Baddest girl group to ever exist. Please do a Discovering series with them. Please check out "I Don't Care", "Go Away", "Missing You", "Ugly", and their live performance for MAMA 2010.
Go away has the best m/v, sometimes censored.
That is why 2nd Gen called the "Golden Era" of Kpop.They have very diverse music genres.
Hyolyn is a former Sistar’s member, Sistar was one of the most successful girl groups, Sistar included 3 singers (Hyolyn - main vocal - Soyou and Dasom) and one rapper (Bora -main rapper and main dancer).

actually soyou also main vocal. sistar have two main vocal. dasom is vocal.
2ne1 is my Queen
Their talent,swag, charisma,stage Presence is always on 🔥
2ne1 is the first girl group to hold world tour.2ne1 is one of the best selling girl groups worldwide just for 3 albums only, 2ne1 had no bad song even their bsides is BOP.
"2ne1 is one of the best selling girl groups worldwide just for 3 albums only"
Stop lying plz.. They were not even top3 in their generation. They had a total of 14 releases with less than 800k total sales. They have achievements and milestones you can credit them with/for. No need to make things up... We're not in the Dark Ages.. Internet exists...
@@Eluthien they are/were indeed great sellers, especially with their singles sales
@Eluthien...that fan didn't lie 2NE1 is the 3rd Best Selling Girl Groups Worldwide they have 66.5 Millions records sells...Do your research✌️
@@bdcmxsyjds8935 this must be years ago. Do u still use the article where supreme was the first GG to reach 100M, and Snsd was the 2nd one ?
Of course people will be triggered by this. If you disagree, feel free to google it yourself. Create a new thread & drop facts about your own idols instead of wasting time being triggered here.
The girl you recognized from Miss A is Suzy!! She’s much more well known now for her acting. She starred in Start-Up! But she’s been in a lot even before that.
You should totally watch the last 2NE1 mama performance where they surprised literally the whole world by showing up as part of CLs performance!
The part in girls gen where you said it looked like a scene from a drama, that was Yoona and she is actually an actress in many dramas!
Snsd's I Got A Boy is one of the first experimental "noise" music that SM released, along with mr. Simple and ring ding dong
2nd generation had amazing gilgroups… 4minute, f(x), after school, Kara, tiara and Apink are some of the other girl groups that you could definitely check out.. There was so much variety back in the day
After School was like my peak moment in kpop back in the days. Then I stop listening to kpop. Gratefully Red Velvet brought me back to kpop after their Red Flavor comeback. Now I'm back listening to kpop but not casually. But Red Velvet easily my top 3 fav artist of all time.
@@strawhatnana8872 I literally started listening to kpop again because of red velvet… after the whole thing with Jessica and Park Bom scandal, I kinda stopped listening to kpop and only kept up with Hyolyn and HyunA… But thankfully Red Velvet reignited the kpop fan in me
@@mrinaldas2548 i been listening to many other groups. The reason why I tune in to Red Velvet because of their discography. I can listen to any if their stuff anytime, any mood, any situation. They very versatile. I'm not listen much to Boy Groups. But Infinite & Winner are different.
Yes! 4Minute and T-ara should be included.
the way jessica in girl's generation's i got a boy says " dont stop let's bring it back to 1:40" and then they actually sing the segment that they sang in the first minute and forty seconds again. I C O N I C. but imma be honest i think they shoulda kept the electronic beat only for that small dancebreak section
Not only did it go back to 1:40 of the song (not of the MV because of the intro), but that part is also 140bpm. Pretty incredible.
YG groups are really different. They set trends. That’s why they always stand out.
Please react to more 2ne1 music and also CL (2ne1 leader) solos like hello b!tches, baddest female, tie a cherry, to name a few..

@@Maguchickenpakmul uhm but it literally wasn't even their fault. The media is evil and you should really see what the girls said about that
2NE1 made a new evolution to k-pop especially to girl groups. They broke stereotypes for girl groups.
2NE1 deserve sooo much better🔥 Forever QUEENS♠️♥️👑👑👑👑
I can tell that 2NE1 is the queens of performance not only their high energy performance but also singing raping!!
girls generation literally made this type this beat switch ups popular and now NCT and Aespa have them.
2ne1 provided an alternative from the cutesy girly type music and finally we got girlcrush now because of them....imagine blackpink or everglow being "cute" hell nah!
wonder girls were the first ever kpop group to rank on billboard hot 100 with their song "nobody" so they partly introduced female kpop groups to the world
SISTAR's songs were always public favs and hyolyn was actually one of the first idols to get hate for "not fitting the korean beauty standards" with her tan body and tattoos too
Miss A always had bangers and most of their songs had choruses that would end up being stuck in your head.
so they ALL were like gamechangers in a way in the industry and are immensely respected.
Abt the beat switch SM had it since the 90s in HOT n SES songs even Shinee but it never been in ur face till SNSD and it took off from then ...
@@AmrineRoufeida ah yes yes i meant it became popular af after i got a boy
YES I agree with you in this about Wonder Girls "that they partially intyoduce KPop group to the world" with the song Nobody. It;s the song that itroduced me to KPop through my Korean friend.
Then I learned about The 2NE1 which was great, I am hook with 2NE1. They are the best Korean group, above KPop in general to the present day.
BlackPink have done gross cute concepts eg. Ice Cream
You know what 2ne1 song title is "I am the best" and you said it right there, they are really THE BEST!
If you want to react to 2ne1 videos, I suggest you watch live performances. They are top notch live performers.
Ngl I'm extremely happy when I see someone reacting to my girls, SISTAR. They were known for their sexy concept, they were called Summer Queens, they had comebacks mostly during summer and always went no1 on charts even tho they're not from a big company like sm or jyp like the others.
Recently two of the members (the one that you liked - main vocalist and the youngest - vocalist) made a song together called Summer or Summer and it has SUCH a SISTAR vibe.
Also Soyou and Hyolyn have their solo career as well if you want to check it out.
2ne1 is the goddes of stage presence >>>
Jyp's whisper is something very common in songs of the old groups of the company it was like a label back then, listening to Jyp's whisper is nostalgic for those of the old generation
What many people fail to realize is that JYP was a household name in Korea since forever. His tag is not only a producer tag but also something like a co-sign for the new artist. People seem to be oblivious that he's an artist himself and a very popular/respected one in East Asia.
yeah, every song that came out of that company was produced by jyp himself. It was a tag/brand for the entire label. It wasn't til twice's debut song that another producer was allowed to write for a jype group. I think this is where new fans don't get and think he is inserting himself onto his artist's tracks.
Yaaaaas! Our second gen QUEENS! They all have contributed so much to the industry. Would love to see your reaction on Missing You by 2ne1 even tho they do girl crush like no one else does but their VOCALS are just heavenly!✨✨
And yes Sistar are the Summer Queens of kpop! They used to continuously drop summer bops each year. They're just such amazing vocalist as well and being sexy is not the only word that describes them, they're more than that!🧡🧡
My ulti gp is 2ne1 and yap they r game changer. While other r doing cute and sexy concept, they r giving attitude and idgf vibe!!! They r they one who starting girl power and girl crush concept! But honestly 2nd gg all gave different vibes and they r all good! Even tho i m hardcore blackjack, 2ne1 fan, i still got other 2nd gg songs by heart!! I still cant move on from them
Same
I don’t know what 2NE1 songs you were listening to but I Am The Best is the only one with attitude. They’re more known for having “eh eh eh hey” in most of their songs. 4Min and BEG on the other hand had the most attitude. YG artists all have the same concept because they all have the same producers.
FIRE, FOLLOW ME, CAN'T NOBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS, I AM THE BEST, CRUSH, COMEBACK HOME
2ne1 has yg girl group swag and coolness
I LOVE THIS ERA OHMYGODD Thank you for reacting to these queens bcs they are the reason I stan kpop esp my fav queen the iconic girls generation and you need to react to more 2nd gen queen like t-ara, kara, f(x) and more tbh
after school too ❤️❤️
@@xaiderige omg yessss
This is why I loved 2nd gen groups! Each group was different and did their own signature style of music.
Taeyeon was the one whose wink you were impressed with, and whose attitude you said you loved with the teal hair tips! Yoona who looked familiar is an actress now. Wonder Girls basically had "retro" as their main concept throughout their career, their last two mvs I Feel You and Why So Lonely are some of my all time favourites in kpop! Sunmi was in Wonder Girls, you may have heard of her because she's been successful as a solo artist. Not gonna lie I actually love the JYP whisper, it's up there with "brave sound" and "I need a cha cha beat, boy!" as iconic producer tags!
Sistar were the gp beloved summer queens for years, with amazing vocals. There was a serious trend of sexy concepts in 2nd gen with both bgs and ggs, you should check out 9muses and Girl's Day sometime, they had incredible vocalists too! The one in MissA who you found familiar is Bae Suzy, she's an actress now who for many years was the IT girl in SK, up there with SNSD's Yoona, soloist IU, 4minute's Hyuna, RV's Irene and BP's Jennie. Her solo popularity eclipsed the group so completely that it led to their disbandment, many people believe that's why JYP didn't allow Twice members to have any solo activities until recently.
2NE1 was THAT group and I Am The Best was THAT song! It's horrible how YG just dropped them when he debuted BP, they found out that they had been disbanded when the news articles came out, absolutely shameful of him. They were often told they were ugly, YG even called BP the "pretty" version of 2NE1...
I do always laugh when newer kpop fans are not used to no subs when really it is such a recent phenomenon, it took years for companies to even start posting official mvs to yt, they used to be uploaded by whoever could find a copy to rip! You were more likely to download the mv to your ipod from limewire than stream it back then! If you do any more of these pls consider KARA and SHINee's sister group f(x)!
MORE 2NE1 PLEAAAASSSEE!!
MORE 2NE1 PLEAAAASSSEE!!
MORE 2NE1 PLEAAAASSSEE!!
if we're talking about 2nd gen girls, then u should check out After School, Brown Eyed Girls, Kara, T-Ara, 4 minutes too.
and about 2ne1, yes that's their concept. they were the 1st girl group with that bad-ass fierce girl crush concept. very different to other group in that era. and all their songs are BOP! you might wanna check that out.
You truly need to see the performance of CL+ 2NE1, LIVE. They still being the gg with the most savage and strong energy to me, that performance is legendary and it will always be one of the best overall.
Damn I hope you react to more 2NE1 . I'm sure you will like their songs. YG only had two girl group till today (2NE1 and Blackpink ) and they literally made legend for generation. And there's a second generation group call T-ARA I'm sure you will like their songs to (sugar free, number 9,sexy love and many more) they were literally the icon of 2nd generation along with these groups!
The one that has cool attitude in girls generation is Taeyeon. You should react to her new song INVU and her dingo killing voice performance. YOU WILL MELT iN HER VOICE.

Yes
up!!!!
2nd gen is the best gen of kpop, the golden era. The times were very different from the very conservative kpop now...
Please check out more of 2nd gen! All these groups are fire, but my personal favorites are 2NE1, Girls Generation and Sistar so I'll recommend those first.
2NE1 - Missing You, Ugly, Come Back Home (check out also CL's solo music)
GG - Mr. Mr, Gee, You Think
Sistar - Alone, I Like That, I Swear (and check out Hyolyn, the one you liked, she has some great solo music and she is one of the best vocalists and dancers in kpop)
SNSD/Girls' Generation does have a lot of great singers! I love their discography because its so catchy and Taeyeon just has a beautiful voice! 2NE1 also has some great songs...I'd recommend 'Lonely' and 'Come Back Home'.
I'm a 2nd gen k-pop stan, and I'm just overflowing with pride and trivia about these groups so here are some fun facts:
Girl's Generation (SNSD) - I Got a Boy was released on the 1st of January 2013, and the "mix-up" style of the song affected many other songs during that year, a lot of groups wanted to follow that style. It was also one of the few MVs to reach 100,000,000 views at the time (laughable now x) and the producers have said that the song came together in about 15 minutes, which is both weird and impressive. 🤣😅
Wonder Girls - They were the biggest competition to SNSD when they both debuted in 2007. In fact WG was bigger than SNSD, but then JYP decided to tried to break into the U.S. market with a song "Like Money" with Akon. It didn't work and SNSD could grow in WG's absence. WG have always had a retro sound, and they made a 4 member comeback as a band in 2015, and their Album "Reboot" is one of my favorite albums of all time.
SISTAR - They started out doing kind of cutesy concept, but then they hit it big with a "classy sexy" concept song "Alone". After that they did more serious sexy conepts, but eventually they hit their groove as "Summer Queens". They have so many happy, colorful summer songs that are awesome for a trip to the beach. The group is disbanded now, but Vocalists Hyolyn and Soyou are still doing solo stuff. :)
Miss A - JYPs second girl group after Wonder Girls, and they are criminally underrated. Most, if not all, of their songs are about women's empowerment - they literally have a song called "I don't need a Man" x). Unfortunately they only had 7 or so releases, but their releases are very solid. Also, 2 of the members are Chinese and since disbanding at least one of them, Jia Meng, has gone for a solo career in China.
2ne1 - People can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think 2ne1 were the ur-example of the "badass girl crush" concept as we know it today. I also think they were the first girl group to go almost 100% hip hop/rap influences and masculine tomboy energy (at least in their early career). I think "I Am The Best" was also one of few songs to reach 100,000,000 views at the time, and it's definitely deserved.
Thank you for reacting to these older videos! I hope you check out more, the 2nd generation is sometimes also called "The Golden Age of K-pop", so there's a lot of reallly good stuff here. :)
💯👏🏼👏🏼

FINALLY! THE QUEENS AND GAME CHANGERS!
can we also get a 2nd gen BG special?
CL - '나쁜 기집애' + 'HELLO BITCHES' & 2NE1 - 'FIRE' + '내가 제일 잘 나가' in 2015 MAMA
pleaseee react to this one ! it is so good 🔥🔥
The first kpop group i listened to was 2ne1, i remember going through the channels on my tv and i love you x 2ne1 was playing and i fell in love. I didn’t really listen to anything else after them and didn’t listen to kpop for years and then i randomly came across BTS and now I’m here again and in love again lol
YG group's just hits different ❤️
I really enjoyed your reaction it makes me happy because although I got to k-pop in 2016 during third entirely by accident I stumbled music video for girls generations gee and after that I discovered more second gen groups before really getting into 3rd gen starting with blackpink which debuted the year I got into K-pop I was surprised to learn that the concept was loosely based off 2ne1
Blackpink are literally the same label as 2NE1, and there are rumors that the ceo at the time wanted to debut a new girl group that would be "pretty" 2NE1. They are actually 2NE1's little sister group.
@@MsJokyo hence why I said why I said blackpink loosely based off 2ne1 when something is loosely based off of something that means they take a lot of inspiration from it but it's not an exact copy and that is exactly what they made blackpink to be
@@colejennings1793 many bp songs were supposed to be 2ne1 songs you can search them
@@jimin585 I know this I've been a k-pop fan for over 10 years now and I do my research
@@colejennings1793 I guess what they are trying to say is that BP is not "loosely" based off 2NE1, more like a direct reference and sunbaenim
More 2NE1 reactions please
I wasn’t even into Kpop before but I like 2NE1. I love that they were different. Also, I knew you would like Hyorin from Sistar. She’s one of my favorite female vocalists, not just in KPop, but in general. She’s awesome.
come back home from 2NE1 is a my fave one, its just soo good, u should check them up as a group!
React to 2NE1 "Fire", "Come Back Home", "I Don't Care", "I love you", and "Crush" MV and Live Performance
please more songs of 2NE1, Missing You, Fire, Ugly, Come Back Home
Not me leaving Yeti a comment for almost every song HAHAHA - as a 2nd Gen I got so excited in this reaction! Also I just needed to say… 2NE1 THE MOTHER OF GIRL CRUSH YAAAASSS!
So 2NE1 is BlackPinks senior in YG, the only other girl group YG is had. However, you see that BlackPink are not as aggressive as 2NE1, they definitely has a more aggressive concept. That’s because YG wanted to create a group that could be as badass as 2NE1 and as sexy, cute and mainstream as Girls Generation, and that is how BlackPinks concept was born, a fusion of 2NE1 with SNSD. Mix it perfectly and BOOM we got the worlds best girl group currently. All of them QUEENS 👑👑👑
Yg had a girl group before 2ne1
@@bunnywar yes, there was Swi.T back in 2002, but they didn’t event last 2 years before disbanding. Although a former YG girl group they lasted very little and compared to S.E.S, Baby V.O.X and Fin.K.L they didn’t fair well at all in the 1st Gen. But, yes, they did have a 1st Gen gg.
2ne1 and Blackpink is from YG entertaiment and they hits different ♥️
Absolutely here for you expressing the cringe we all feel at JYP’s “JYP” whispers 😂
same😂 I laughed when I saw her reaction when she heard "JYP" whisper lol
Shut up it's producer rights and JYP is nice JYPE, the company, isnt. And bet whenever I hear JYP I already know it's a bop. YALL THE SAME PEOPLE WHO PREACH TO LOVE EACH OTHER REGARDLESS OF LOOKS AND THAT EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT HERE YOU ARE. Jyp had no control of how he looks like, he was called ugly yet never got surgery. That man is a talented producer and songwriter.
@@bingsu7824 jeez.. calm down.. people are entitled to their opinions. I am happy that you enjoy his signature jyp whisper, but I don’t… and no one, except you, mentioned anything about his looks.
2ne1 are legends everyone are unconsciously want a 2NE1 COMEBACK WE NEED IT I MEAD
2NE1 was a South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment, which was active between 2009 and 2016. The group was composed of four members: Bom, CL, Dara, and Minzy. Known for breaking typical stereotypes of K-pop, musical experimentation, fashion, and stage presence, they are recognized for expanding girl group styles in the Korean music industry and have become one of the leading figures of the Korean wave.
U should definitely checkout 2ne1 stage performances. They r lit🔥🔥🔥
I didn't think that anyone who heard 3rd and 4th gen groups wouldn't find I got a boy new and strange for mixing multiple sounds until I watched this reaction. New groups have been doing that more frequently but never forget who started it!
The Queens of K-pop 2ne1 they are legends 🔥🔥 no one like them . 2ne1 from yg more and more 2ne1 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
2nd gen kpop is what introduced me to kpop and after that I didn't follow that much groups after that generation. Idk I still listen to new kpop songs rn but I just don't follow the newer groups that much anymore unlike how I craze over the older kpop groups.
I hope you could react more to 2ne1.
They are actually the 2nd gen girl group representative of YG Entertainment and sunbaes of BLACKPINK.
I would also want you to try and search for the MV and type "English Subs". There are music videos that were subbed not by the company but the subbing team of the fandoms. Since most of the MVs of 2nd generation are heavily fandom subbed. That was just our culture then 💕
And will definitely recommend their song "Ugly" with Subs, because that song was the one that got me through my insecurities when I was still a teenager. 🥺
If I were to be greedy...I want a whole series dedicated to 2ne1.. haha 💜💚💛♥️
Hi, I'm a new to your channel and i must say that 2ne1 is really the game changer in the music industry especially for the female groups. I hope you can react more to their music like falling inlove, crush and more. Thank you! I will be waiting for your next reaction.❤
Fun fact: The MV for Girls' Generation's "I Got A Boy" was produced by Zanybros the same company that is now representing the Kpop soloist AleXa. In 2013 this video topped the charts and it beat American MVs by Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, etc. for video of the year at the RUclips video awards. SNSD are "the nation's girl group" and considered queens for a reason. :D They are the girl group (along with 2NE1), that all other girl groups who came after them are modeled after.
The guy is just a model/actor which is why you never see his face because it doesn't matter who he is.
In order of appearance: Jessica -- who is one of the two Korean-American members -- Taeyeon -- the leader, main vocal and one of the most popular female solo artists -- and Seohyun -- lead vocal and maknae (youngest) -- were the singers during the ballad breakdown section. SM is known for their power vocalists, so you will find amazing vocalists like this in all of SM's groups, including boy groups.
Fun fact No. 2: Jessica Jung is Krystal Jung's older sister. Krystal is a member of SM's former girl group F(x) who is SHINee's little sister group. F(x) is pretty much the female version of SHINee. Jessica and Krystal were one of the first -- and for a long time, only -- siblings to both be under the same Kpop company but in separate equally popular groups.
"I Got a Boy" was part of the era when Kpop songs were created to give an equal amount of lines to every member. So, because SNSD has 9 members, this song is longer than a lot of Kpop songs, which gives them time to do a lot of different things in the song. ;P
Switching up the beat in Kpop songs is just kind of part of what makes Kpop unique. Case in point, in "I Got a Boy" Jessica literally says, "Lets bring it back to 1-40" which is a reference to switching up the tempo -- changing it from that slower ballad section and bringing the song back to the faster beat.
"I Got a Boy" is structured the same way as YG Entertainment's boy group BigBang's song, "Bang Bang Bang," but "Bang Bang Bang" came out in 2015, 2 years later. And now we see most of SM's songs are structured in a very similar way.
Girls' Generation debuted in 2007 so 2021 was their 14th anniversary. As you have discovered, they are known as one of the most visually stunning girl groups with some of the best vocals and dancers in the industry. As an SM Entertainment group it shouldn't be a surprise that they are such great singers and dancers. That is just what you should expect from SM groups. :D SM Entertainment is considered the vocal powerhouse of the industry and the company is known for putting a huge emphasis on finding and cultivating some of the best vocalists in Kpop. You literally can't be an SM artist without having amazing singing and dancing skills. Even SM's rappers get intense training as vocalists, so all of the company's artists are amazing singers.
SM Entertainment is the company that started the Kpop industry and they are the largest and most powerful entertainment company in Korea and around the world. SM's founder, Lee SooMan, started what we know as Kpop today way back in 1996, with the very first Kpop boy group H.O.T. (High-Five of Teenager) and girl group S.E.S. So the company knows what it is doing when it comes to creating mega hits and groups and songs that can withstand the test of time.
Oh the nostalgia, 2ne1 and Miss A were my favourite girl groups back then TT-TT
Girls generation is the one who brought me into kpop world. I love them so much, i really really do. No doubt, 2nd generation is the Golden era of kpop.
My first ever ultimates were 2NE1 and BIGBANG. I was so heartbroken after 2NE1 broke up that I promised never to stan another kpop group again.
Then, in 2018 (2 years after they debuted) I finally listened to BP songs and instantly fell in love with LALISA MANOBAN.
Now, here I am again going full YG stan this time. 😩
Girls' Generation set the standard and they are now the role model and text book of all girl groups in KPOP. Their discographies are diverse, they popularized having different concepts in kpop when everyone was having the same sound and concept every comeback. They were also called the Nation's Girl Group and Nation's Singer because of their top tier vocals.
Check out more 2NE1. I am very sure u would love them. They were very successful but due to some scandals (fake) their entire Carrey was destroyed. We to see them 4 again in the future.
Most of their songs are produced by Teddy (Blackpink main producer) they really have good music. Please check them out especially live performances
2NE1 THE EVOLUTION🖤🖤❤❤ watch their live preformance or better concert theyre the counter part of BiG Bang
Perfect !!
You should check more of 2ne1
Fire
Lonely
And CLs solo songs Hello bi***** and their other solos
✌️😆
React more mv in 2ne1 and also in live they are good in live💖
I would definitely suggest going through 2ne1‘s discography they were definitely a strong precursor and a very successful girl band before the ones we had today they tackled A lot of different lyrical and social things ain there songs where other groups shyd away from that they pushed a lot of boundaries when it came to K-pop.
Kpop really lost a lot when 2NE1 was disbanded. Would definitely recommend their accapela performance of "Come back home". Their debut "Fire" was also very good.
2NE1 is actually from YG same agency with BIGBANG and BLACKPINK that is why they hit different if u know what i mean :) love your reaction and waiting for more ♥️
YG artist never went with the typical kpop vibe they make their own
It's so sad that YG disbanded 2NE1. With the recent YG Family interactions and tidbits we've been getting lately, it's safe to assume the next YG Family concert is coming soon (finally after several years)..and it's so sad 2NE1 can't be a part of that now. Imagine a 2NE1 x BLACKPINK stage 😭 CL and JenLisa's power alone speak volumes.
I'm not a fan of comparing groups especially since I love both 2NE1 and BP but you can see how YG got the rough idea of JenLisa's image and vibe through CL (not saying they're copies, I'm a mega Blink but just how the starting basis on what to do with them). Yeah they took it and made it their own but it's interesting how YG took 2NE1's concept and developed it for the future generation and made BLACKPINK.
btw CL, Minzy, Dara, and Bom just got back together (they uploaded pics of them together last week) and it just brought me to tears 😭 I hope we get more 2NE1.
BIGBANG is also coming back after several years (the most awaited comeback in modern Kpop) and then soon after will be BLACKPINK's comeback. I dunno if we'll also get Jisoo's solo this year but we're expecting that after the group comeback.
What a good time to be a YG artist fan 😎
As an old kpop fan(BP is the first YG group that i like, im more of an SM groups kind of fan, still i was a fan when 2nd gen groups where active) , i kind of disagree with your comparison, CL and Jennie/Lisa image are vastly different,and even the whole concept of the groups is different, BP has never done “girl crush” like 2ne1 or 4minute did back in the day; the only thing both groups have in common is YGE not giving them the treatment and opportunities they deserves, i mean CL was super capable to create the songs of 2ne1 but YG only let her participate in what 5 songs? The track record of the company managing their female artists sucks 😭each group has their own identity and the comparison is even more of a “touchy” subject when you see that even today is used to heavily hate BP (to clarify i dont see your comment as hate, just that the comparison has been used to hate BP since debut)
Yes, 2NE1 did make an anniversary reunion. Dara is doing TV commentary, not much singing but still loves it, CL, Bom and Minzy are still actively singing solo, but are all in different companies, so a musical come back seems unlikely.
As for BigBang, Seungri left the group in 2019, and yes a come back is scheduled for this year, but I think they will do the same thing 2NE1 did with GOODBYE. One song and disband, as T.O.P also mentioned he will leave the group after the come back. He said he will pursue in making his own company which will help idol groups not live such hardships he went through. He will also continue writing songs as he has written over 100 songs while with BigBang, so I think he will be the next Teddy Park of YG in a similar fashion.
And I am also waiting for a YG concert, which may or may not have BigBang, maybe just GDragon, Teayang, Deasung along with the rest of YG groups like IKON, Sechskies, Winner, Treasure, and BlackPink plus the duo acts, AKMU etc.
@@carlapunk77 true. And consequently, 2NE1 too was hated on, with toxic Blinks attacking their faves' seniors. It was a mess and honestly it still baffles me how BP had one of the biggest debuts of Kpop despite all that mess (especially since 2NE1's disbandment happened around the time BP debuted...though we knew it was coming.. I hope YG the company as a whole has reformed from that... especially their misogynistic practices...really it's 2022.)
@@nrmnnk4057 I'm happy the 2NE1 members are doing their own thing. One thing I noticed is that Blackjacks were recently feuding around the time Minzy came out with "Teamo". There was fighting within the fandom with some expressing their frustration for the lack of support for Minzy's comeback (it was released almost a year ago and yet the MV hasn't even surpassed 2M views) while CL's get 10M+ in a day. I love all the members, support Minzy too 😭
Yeah BIGBANG losing 2 members is a huge hit for me personally 😭 I hope top does well in his future career endeavors (though I think the recent comeback will still have him) and for Seungri I think it's a good idea for him to leave the industry. He needs time to think and reform himself. Despite all this, I'm still hyped for the comeback and I'll continue to support BIGBANG no matter what 🔥
So hyped most of all for BP's 2022 comeback and hopefully Jisoo's solo 🔥🔥🔥
Treasure's Jikjin is sooo good. And iKON's dance cover of it featuring them was (don't mind the pun) "iKONic" 😅
The YG interactions we've been getting recently from Kingdom to Game Caterers got me even more hyped for the YG Family concert. They haven't done one in years now. I just wish Lee Hi and 2NE1 get to perform too but I know that's just wishful thinking 😭
@@mediocritycentral of course all the toxicity is awful from both sides, but to be honest blinks didnt even exist properly when blackjacks where blaming the girls for the disbandment, and commenting hate in every pre debut picture or in the comments of YHS instagram, i saw with my own eyes on twitter and korean forums everyone demanding YGE to give their artists better treatment right under the girls pre debut pictures and announcement, the girls never had a easy path to debut and the comparison made and that are still made just make everything worse, both groups are full of grrat talented women, we should just stop comparing them, even more now that the only common thing they have is debuting in a agency who doesnt treat their female artists with equality and dont give the same opportunities than their male peers, thats why BP and Suhyun are currently the only women in YGE, and how things are going with Bp not releasing music or content as a group since 2020 i doubt they renew
2ne1 the legendary Queens! Please react to more of them
After 2NE1 I left Kpop and now I'm back with blackpink YG just hits different ❤️ I love BIGBANG and Treasure ikon and winner too and all YG works muah lovelots.
2NE1 still the best representation of GIRLCRUSH concept
Better watch a 2NE1 live performance and be ready to have your mind blown.
‘This is made for the male gaze’

God, i miss these 2nd Gen idols. They are the reason why i got into kpop back in 2009. especially 2ne1. i will forever be a BlackJack.
2ne1 were literally revolutionary!
