Heyy i really loved this video ! You should do a video on GFRIEND's Me gustas tu or Rough
it irks me when groups like wonder girls and 4minute get left out of the conversation about iconic 2nd gen groups and hits. "nobody" was the first kpop song to get into bbhot 100 and while their success weren't continuous due to jyp's plan to get them in the US market which didn't really go anywhere, all members are still doing well and their hits and their impact are still very relevant and will continue to be.
While I do agree that 4Minute was underrated and overlooked for so long…4M, and especially WG, are definitely far from being left out of that convo when it comes to discussing 2nd gen. WG was the face of JYP(prior to Miss A) during the 2nd gen and 4M put Cube on the map.
@@FudanshiNXTDoormiss A >>> wonder girls
The English version will always have my heart. Yubin's line "keep on bringing it like a postman" lives in my head rent free.
Back when mics were truely ON. This is your friendly reminder to go check out live performances from 2nd gen idols~ listen to their raw live vocals and appreciate all the hand mics that actually pick up sound lol Even if some are not considered the "best vocalists," it was really a golden age in kpop especially for live performances.
I recommend Wonder Girls, SNSD, SHINee, 2PM, BAP (pls check out No Mercy live), Miss A, SISTAR, 2NE1.
And disclaimer, this isn't a comparison to idols now, just a reminder to appreciate the idols who came before as well! :) Really it highlights the difference of how companies market their idols, then vs now! (I know idols have harder dances now & it plays into why they sing live less/have louder backing vocals, no judgement!)
2nd generation groups also has good stage presence and easy to learn dance choreo.
@@rejeylola definitely! And because of the dances being easier to learn, this was the time of massive kpop flashmobs all around the world!! That was such a wild time lol seeing huge groups of kpop fans of different fandoms just coming together to enjoy music and dance.
U forget EXO!!
Love these kinds of vids. Brings back so much nostalgia as someone who came into kpop during 2nd gen. So glad to see the golden era still being relevant and enjoyed by the new gen of idols and stans.
There are so many song breakdowns I could recommend:
continuing the girl group section we have to breakdown the impact of the Nation's Girl Group iconic Gee by SNSD
"Baby Baby" - 4MEN
"Abracadabra" - Brown Eyed Girls
or even breakdown popular OST songs since often times OSTs would rival idol songs and even go up against each other on music shows...so I'd also recommend "Do You Know" by Someday
Yes a brown eyed girls doc would be so good
People don't know how crucial WG were for K-pop. Your faves are running because WG laid down the path.
FACT!
OMG! I'm a Wonderful and have always wanted a Wonder Girls content and you did this with justice! Maybe next we can explore the second / or third era of Wonder Girls where they became a band. And yes for y'all watching, Wonder Girls is THAT group that single handly gave way to what seems to be a phenomenon right now
Tell Me is literally the song that got me into K-pop when I was around 10. I would watch/listen to it daily and still know the choreography to this day. The Wonder Girls are icons, and I genuinely get so happy whenever they are mentioned 💖
Please dissect Gee or Into The New World by SNSD next !! Love your videos you always put so much hardwork into them!
seconding into the new world!!!
i was just listening to this song 😂😂😭
Same the sped up version
Thanks for the video Midnight and I gotta say NewJeans and the producers did really well with the remake, it's one of the best muscian tributes I've seen in Kpop another song I would suggest is Kim Sung-Jae's 'As I Told You' if it hasn't been covered already on your channel
Great video. You can make videos about Big Bang’s “Fantastic Baby”, EXO’s “Wolf” or “Overdose” , Twice’s “TT”, just to name a few iconic songs and their impact on the industry.
We love Wonder Girls content in this house! 💜 And we love Midnight Theories! perfect match! Thanks for the video 🥰
I am so lucky because of my older friends I started to listen to K-pop during 2nd generation rise ! I literally seen the debut teasers of all legendary groups like SNSD, Big Bang & Wonder Girls! I remember how Tell Me went viral & WG reached 1M views on RUclips which was MASSIVE back then ^^ I was more SNSD fan but Wonder Girls & especially “tell me” was one of my fav songs ^^
clicking on like before i finish watching the video because this is just such a true statement
SAME! MY WONDERFUL ADRENALINE RUSHING SO FAST! 😅
Another AWESOME video from you helping me learn more of K-Pop History 😊
One song I'd suggest you to Examine is Wonder Girls "I Feel You" where Sunmi rejoined The group in 2015 and they played as a band with their own instruments (Sunmi learning Bass) Midnight ❤️😎👍
IT WAS ACTUALLY me randomly catching snsds version of TELL ME that was my FIRST ever video into kpop that stunns me ..... i didnt even know what was going on but they looked so perfect to only be thrown into genie ... wonder girls are right up there with snsd 2ne1 ... and kara .. for that whats and whys of GirlGroups in Kpop
Thank you for this very valuable information! This is probably one of the most significant developments in the history of K-pop and I'm glad you made such a comprehensive and easy to understand video about it! 🙏😄🌸💕

Omg Mirotic!! Definitely need a video for this song lol
Wonder girls are icons. Thank you for the video ❤
Wonder girls was my group I miss them but so happy where they are now 💕
Oh man I remember Tell Me started my kpop craze back in 2014. So glad you covered this!
I think a video on Dreamcatcher might be cool, how they're one of the top groups who had to wait the longest for a first win and covering why they're unique in the kpop space.
Im loving this song breakdown videos! Its so interesting to learn about the history of the song within the social and historic context of South Korea, also the editing on these couple of last videos has been so nice and clean 🤩 loving this new format 🫶🏽
Thank you so much for this video! As a Wonder Girls fan, after Tell Me became viral again on tiktok., It makes me so mad that these new kpop fans discredit Wonder Girls left and right!
Wonder Girls are legend from 2nd gen group!
Also Sohee on the thumbnail is fckg stunning! Her line 'Omona' always gonna be the most iconic line in Kpop!
I would give my left kidney to have been a part of the K-Pop fandom in 2007, must've felt like such a wild time to be a GG stan (maybe a bit like the 3rd-4th gen transition).
Girl it was the wild wild west back then. You just had to pray that your favourite girl group ended up on a TV show with Super Junior, TVXQ or big bang. Nothing was subbed, hardly anything was on iTunes in the early days, and you just had to pray to God that some random person in Korea would upload the music videos to any website. Or if you where lucky enough someone in the jpop community in Japan was a fan of the same group and would upload it to some weird as website, also nothing and I mean nothing was in HD 720 you where lucky if you 480 to tell the faces apart. Don't even get me started on trying to get albums imported or you stumble upon them at some random market. It was hard even listening to Jpop at that time and they where the popular Asian music at that time tbh.
@@kerronwalker1589 That honestly sounds like so much fun! I was vaguely aware of K-Pop starting around 2007 because a friend made me watch some Park Chan-Wook films and that lead to watching some dramas, but I didn't really get into it until 2013 (I Got A Boy was what did it). That whole scene before the beginning of K-Pop's globalization really sounds like indie rock, or the underground metal scene, in terms of quality and availability of content.
이 노래 때문에 한국어를 배웠어 ❤
If it was not for this song I wouldn't be a kpop fan. I wouldn't know korean. I wouldn't have studied at Korea University and I would call Seoul as one of my homes ❤ discovering this song in 2007 changed my lifeim happy I was able to tell Sunmi in person that the song she was not so fond of changed my life 😅 it gave her a huge laugh and she gave me a hug for it 😊
So lucky..
I wish they would pull a Brave girls, 9muses, t-ara or afterschool and reunite to perform it!
Dreamcatcher's Yoohyeon said that Irony was the song that got her interested in K-Pop as a possible career. 🥹 Even songs that are standard for the industry have more influence than you know!
THank yo for giving Wonder Girls their much deserved flowers!! If i could suggest 2 things it would be a full history on Wonder Girls similar to how you did the Kara video and the same for Shinee! I feel llike Shinee is an underrated boy group despite how popular they are if that makes sense. I feel like they kinda got the girl group treatment in that they had amazing nonstop experimental bops. But i feel like they get overlooked a lot and it makes me sad lol. Thank you in advance if you do! I look forward to your uploads!
Your content only gets better! Thank you for all your research ❤
I discovered KPOP through Lollipop (BB × 2NE1) collab which landed me to Wonder Girls' YT page. Tell Me was such an ear worm I kept on singing it. During that time, KPOP is labeled as weird and listeners of it were also bullied (well at least from my country). Look at how times have changed, those who bullied me before for liking KPOP back in 2009 are now addicted to it (mostly the big mainstream groups)
Love this video smmm❤❤ + recommend mister (kara) or gee / into the new world (girls generation) for the next part
next to dissect song:
any girl generation songs like gee, genie, bring the boys
step, mister, honey by kara
i am the best, i dont care, cant nobody and any song of 2ne1
my house and hand up by 2pm
a, mach, sunshine by rainbow
I was a child then and WG was the one group I kept coming back to (later SNSD). I especially love their ballad song that I no longer know the title but it goes "saranghae... haessal boda nunbusin... noye misoreul... smsmsmhere .... noye du soneul. Saranghae, saranghae~
I'm sure you're thinking of "Saying I Love You" I also love that song! It was Yeeuns first writing and producing credit of her career.
Been a fans of The legendary Wonder Girls for 13 years now, I have never regret stanning them. They inspired me alot, gave me happiness, been through all the ups and downs. The greatest girl group ever!!Still supporting them now, even each of the members are focusing on their own life/solos. Hopping that they will reunite one day 😭😭😭😭
Tell me by wonder Girls was my first kpop song
I still have an Old PC Hard Drive with the Tell me music video downloaded on it from YT. At the time I didn't even know what K pop was and didn't even realized I had downloaded a Kpop music video until I fully got into Kpop in 2016.
Times when K-Pop was K-Pop with unique music and songs.
Also singing live where you could really hear their voice!!
Miss that a lot!
I do miss the uniqueness in kpop so much
Two female GG staples Tell Me and Into the New World. (Do this for Into the New World too!!)
I hold a lot of nostalgia for that song, it's a dance that I did as a kid in my bedroom and just last week on a random dance. It's a key moment in my life as a kpop stan, because this is one of the songs that literally pulled me into the genre in general. It has been years, but it still ends up in my spotify wrapped every year and I'm really excited about the fact that a new generation of kpop stans can fall in love with this song again. And fun thing to this day Hyuna is my favorite person and the love I have for Sunmi is beyond.
I love this song! New Jeana introduced me. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video as now I understand how important and impactful Tell Me continues to be!
i saw a korean comment saying in korea elders might not know gangnam style, but they know tell me. that should give you an idea on how big it was in that time period.
As an OG wonder girls fan its so surreal seeing a song from my high school days go viral more than a decade later with the teens again on social media, like what year is this lmao
Will you please do a breakdown on the importance of Into The New World next? Amazing video!!
i really enjoyed this video, thank you!! unfortunately i was a latecomer kpop fan so i missed out on the original era but 2nd gen music has turned out to be my favorite overall, it was just such a fun pop explosion. also the cute TXT cameo caught me by surprise lmao, kings of giving 2nd/3rd gen ggs their flowers.
i first heard the song tell me was one of the episodes of videostar of mbc every1, yeeun was the guest, one of 4 host of the show, sandara/dara dance the iconic wonder girls song like tell me, nobody with yeeun as respect and so hot
6:37 dancing prisoners in a jail facility in cebu city, philippines and also tourist can visit for their dance presentation
Can u please disect Abracadabra by Brown eyed girls, Dreams come true by SES, Roly Poly by Tara, Mirotic by TVXQ or BTD by Infinite? Please
I know you discussed this in the VIXX history video, but do you think you can do a video about one of their songs? I want to say it was On and On or Voodoo and how the styling of those stages opened up the door to other groups doing ocer the top concept performances?
This video was amazing!
Maybe do Bo peep Bo peep by T-ara next?
As someone who was into kpop at the time I didn't even learn of the song that way. A lot of Korean MMOs had the dance in their games at the time so I had to look up what this "tell me" dance was. It was everywhere.
I love and miss Wonder Girls!! They often get left out of conversations regarding who was the most impactful to kpop! I will never forget when I saw them live in America and the things they accomplished in Korea and beyond!
PLEASE do a hyuna video 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@Fairy mushroom A new one then she was my bias before i knew what a bias was😭😭💓💓💓
I always get mildly offended when people say groups like "BTS" and "Blackpink" are KPOP. KPOP to me is more than korean's singing in Korean...it's a sound and aesthetic.
This was my intro to KPOP ^^
Ahh the song that got me into kpop
Can you do girls' generation "Gee" please! or just a history of snsd video?
Ladies code I'm fine thank you
If you haven’t seen the NewJeans cover, check it out!!! NewJeans did a really great job covering this iconic song.
Could you do a video for AOA miniskirt please?
wonder-bang was a golden age omg
im soso simple, i see Midnight Theory uploaded, i click. i see Midnight Theory uploaded about 2nd gen gg, i click faster 💗
I think Nobody need a video too 💜💜💜
& So Hot
Wonder girls are the O.G. of Kpop, they're amazing
Could you do one on Brown Eyed Girls “Abracadabra” or 2NE1’s “I Am The Best”???
I would love to see the Hyuna version of Tell Me with her as Wonder Woman. Yubin was a great addition though. I'd like you to do a break down on SNSD's Tell Me Your Wish (Genie).
I love when K-pop groups used to actually sing live.
Oh wow yt notified me within an hour for once
same
JYP is greatest kpop songwriter.
You should make a video on him.
Love love this video so much!! Also for a suggestion i dont know if you have done “VIXX - Chained Up?” Icon of the collars ❤❤❤❤❤ keep up the amazing work! 😊
Tell Me,So Hot and NOBODY.. 3 songs of Wonder Girl.
I just saw jyp oppar dancing to this in the recommendation
Can you make So Hot & Nobody next by them? Tysm 💜
I would definitely suggest doing a breakdown of Gee!
Oddly I’ve been playing this song in repeat😭
Plz do sorry by super junior
Really good video
Love your video ❤❤❤ How about No.1 by Boa?
I remember thinking sohee was super duper cute. She will become its girl if she were promoted right.
Tell me is everything!!! I’m a newer kpop fan but I love Tell Me, Nobody, and So Hot!!
Love your channel. Waiting on Twice video!!!!!
Ooooo, this seems interesting!
I first heard the song when JYP and his side girls Nayeon and Dahyun were dancing to it 😍😍
Perhaps Crayon Pop’s Bar Bar Bar the one hit wonder of their’s?
How about Roly Poly or I Want Nobody But You?
PLEAAAAASE do a breakdown of Gee by SNSD!! That song is legendary!!
Am I the only one who liked New Jean’s Y2K Remix of it?!
I listened to this so much in 2019.😭
Please do a video on the history of Taken➡A-Prince➡MAP6!
Loved this.
Basically, it taught groups what not to do and focus on Asia.
literally been replaying tell me everyday
a certified Bop
Where did u got the Hd version of tell me?
Gee!!
Do IGAB sometime
Interesting. I guess they always intended Hyuna to be a Center/ breakout star.
Wait, Tell me was released in 2008 and Gangnam style is in 2012(?) So how did Tell Me surpassed Gangnam Style?
Tell me was 2007 and gangnam style 2012
How the tide has turned tho now back thn gg were less popular now its the polar opposite
PRISONERS?? 😭😭
Girl’s generation’s gee
