I feel every gen is important : 1st for starting it all and being trailblazers 2nd for establishing norms for kpop and consistency 3rd for the global spread and bts impact on kpop. Not a crazy stan but its foolish to ignore, there are other notable groups that have had similar effects, nct, got7, exo ect 4th gen for a lot more creative exploration and experimentation (not that it hasn't been around before, but it is a lot more common now)
Half of these sound like songs I would have heard on the radio in the late 90’s - early 2000’s, and the other half sound like Eurovision songs. In other words, I love all of them. Lol.
eurodance music was big in the 90s. in fact, ses's dreams come true was a remake of a song from Finland (Nylon Beat's "Like A Fool). This happened more often than you may think. :)
The 1st Gen of Kpop was the late 90’s early 2000’s! SES, and Baby Vox we’re the first of the Kpop “Girl Groups” and both debuted in 1997! My mom was a huge Baby Vox fan when I was born in ‘99!
Sameeeee, I was like dudeeee most of this sould like Nsinc, backstreet boys, Britney spears, destiny's child, Beyonce.... And europop, need a playlist of this haha
Fun fact 1st gen groups and some early 2nd gen groups all used to celebrate the winner of music shows when the camera would turn off like a mini party but like mid 2nd gen groups started to leave immediately after I’m guessing because of busy schedules but I forgot which senior group talked about it but they said how they were shocked how awkward everyone was with each other and how no one interacted much because back when they were active they would always celebrate after the music show ended and there was friendly energy. Here the link it was talked about on happy together ruclips.net/video/P_mtPOHKUFI/видео.html really sad how much times have changed from friendly and supportive to groups now a days have to hide their reactions and can’t dance to others songs
@@user-luciddream it was really bad with H.O.T and Sechs Kies in 1997-2001. Literal turf warfare. It didnt end until Sechs Kies suddenly announced the groups disbanding in 2000, making H.O.T the technical winner
theres just SO SO many more groups promoting now it's impossible for everyone to know each other. back in the 1st gen 2nd gen days, everyone did basically know each other. that's why there's such a big change imo
@user-rz1xp5xm1z 1st and 2nd gen fans are crazy though..fans literally fight physically.. and sasaeng fans exist since 1st gen But the oppa deul 'don't care.' They keep interact and even date 😅😅😅 some fans even were forcefully sprayed by the oppa to leave their dorms..😂😂😂 once the fans getting old, everyone can laugh about it. Even I remember the shinhwa fan said thank you for the oppa who argued with her to go home and study. 😂😂😂 she used to hate it a lot but because of that she thank shinhwa to not make her fail the exam. 😂😂😂
I love how everyone mentions Shinhwa, G.O.D, H.O.T but barely mention Sechskies like all 4 of these groups were the gods of kpop and some are still going to this day
Depends on preference maybe, i didnt find H. O. T songs attractive to my ears, mostly danceable and rap.. Only "Candy" and one ballad of them I like.. But most Sechskies songs are very catchy and easily to follow.. Try their ballad playlist.. I live for it.. 😊💕I also love g. O.d songs and Baby Vox
@@coldcoldheart2424 Yess I think so, it's only on preference, which is ok ^^. Tbh I'm more of an h.o.t fan. Not a very old fan, I'm only 22 but I started listening to them in 2019. At first I just liked their ballads and happy songs (I still do💕) and ignored their darker concepts, until I decided to read their lyrics and discovered their lyrics about social issues, directly inspired (i guess) by Seo Taiji's bravery when writing, which i admire a lot. Many people (including me) judged them by their style of music but never read their lyrics. For example, I didn't like "I-yah" at all, because it was very "aggressive" to me, it wasn't my style of music, until I read the story behind it and read the translated lyrics and I was like wooow. Then I discovered that the song was actually a way to denounce the negligence of adults after the death of so many children in that tragedy in the Sealand Youth Training Center in 1999. After Knowing that, I listened to it again and omG it became one of my favorite songs, I actually cried listening to it, especially when the song stops and Kangta has a slow, painful solo. What an interesting way to represent sadness and anger at the same time.. The same goes for "Hope", even though I already loved it, I used to think it was a random happy song of hope, but it was their way of giving strength during the 98's Asian finantial crisis . Also "Outside Castle", a song to represent deaf-mute people that even has sign-language choreography, Or "Get it up" (war), "Wolf & Sheep" (society of abuse), Line up (society with no individualism) Warrior's Descendant (bullying), etc etc. I literally fell in love with them after reading their lyrics. Of course they weren't perfect, especially in their use of english, but they wrote a lot of those songs and they're definitely iconic to me. Same goes for Seo Taiji. And Of course I love some songs by Sechskies but since I don't listen to them a lot, I don't know if they have lyrics like that. If you know some songs with great lyrics, or maybe just good songs to dance to, please recommend them to me :( I literally listen to so many music genres, i don't even know what I like anymore lol
FINKL...BabyVox.....traditional Shinhwa....SES......HOT.....GOD......Queen Uhm Jung Hwa.....Lee Jung Hyun.... Boa....Shinvi.......and KOYOTE!!!! KPOP was built on all of these legends.
lol.. the message in that song... it was controversial for sure.. but what a classic! even one of the background dancers, Mina, had a hit called "answer the phone" too
@@angeloppa I don't think a lot of newer kpop fans realize how huge BoA was in Japan. Her first 3 Korean albums (ID:Peace, No. 1 and Atlantis Princess) all sold really well, but they don't compare to her Japanese album sales - Listen To My Heart sold over 900k and Valenti sold over 1.3 million physical copies (and her first Japanese compilation album sold over a mill)
@@jamesrawlins735 yeah! i mean.. of course she started in korea.. but i remember seeing her on japanese talk shows and variety shows when she was still a very young teenager... she conquered both countries at the same time. and she never lost those cute dimples
@@quickclipsart1028 It was a different world back then. And KPOP had its own unique style back then too. Groups like bts and blackpink may not have had the worldwide success they enjoy now if not for the roads h.o.t. and sechskies paved back then... and thanks to shows that aired in the usa back then showing kpop. (for me, it was Music Video Heaven on the long since cancelled channel International Channel). Those of us from the first Hallyu wave, encountered the most prejudice but we chipped away at it with our love for the new world of kpop and kdramas we loved.. and promoted. I could go on all day lol...
@@quickclipsart1028 Hallyu refers to the spread of Korean entertainment outside of Korea. Initially it was when Korean dramas started getting popular in Japan and China... mostly Japan tho. For kpop it was when it started spreading outside of east Asia. For example, Seo Taiji had a song in the American movie “3 ninjas kick back” in the early 90s (ironically it was played during a scene where they went to Japan, but kpop wasn’t a thing back then so nobody knew lol)
I love this, it's always important to understand who laid the groundwork for K-pop. I was a teen when most of these songs were released - I have no doubt that had I been introduced to K-pop around this time, I would probably stan Fin.KL, SES and Sechskies for sure.
I was the same ! first it was H.O.T then S.E.S then FinKL well you know the list lol when you're listening you can't stop trying to discover new song it was a wholesome era
First generation Kpop was so different , I just don't have a favorite because all are amazing! It just gives you back such a nostalgic vibe that can never change .
I didn’t find Kpop until 2008. Been hooked ever since. Only thing that has consistently bugged me is how mannequin like most of the girl groups seemed to dance and pose. Seems everybody was much more natural in first gen. Seeing Shinwa when they were young was fun.
@@visualbeauty3427 America. I am now a 70 year old pale beige granny. Shocked? My family and friends decided I had lost what few marbles I had left when I got hooked on Kpop in 2008. And Kdramas and other tv shows. I used to live where those were broadcast on a couple of odd stations at night. Where are you from?
Why are you only coming for girl groups and then compare them to shinwa when shinwa is a boy group. It’s 2021 a lot of things have changed since then, but don’t start insulting 4th generation and ruin it for the rest of us young teens that enjoy the 4th gen groups. Most of the 4th gen girl groups dance so good and have advanced dancing compared to 1st gen.
@@kiaradenese1272 they didn't compare them, they made two separate statements. And they can have an opinion about them dancing better then vs. now lol Why even let that comment "ruin" your enjoyment of 4th gen 😂
Ahhhh, seeing Turbo and Lee Jung Hyun in a compilation always makes me happy! I listen to those two artists every day; and have been doing so for almost a year.
perfect man, coming of age ceremony, candy, and hope still being my favorite kpop songs. and i really love how the whole kpop industry call s.e.s as ‘fairy’ cause their visual really looks like they’re from a fairytale
@@shruthakeerthi4559 Have you watched that new YT documentary on K-pop? They interview the rapper but in the credits identifying him leave out the periods, so it just says "[Dude's name], god". I didn't know who he was but I figured he must be important.
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music they interviewed both the rapper, Joon Park, and the vocalist, Kim Taewoo. Leaving out the periods is pretty weird on the editing team's part because "god" is pronounced 갓 (gat) in Korea while g.o.d. is 지오디 (ji-o-di) , which is the name they went by. G.o.d. were pretty much the first boy group to leave the "teenage fangirls" target audience and made music to appeal to all ages, which is why their songs are so timeless. Candle light processions still sing 촛불하나 (One Candle), To Mother is considered an anthem basically
surprised not to see the early TVXQ stuff make the cut here. I wonder sometimes if current kpop fans really know exactly what it was like back in those days when Cassiopeia was as big and boisterous as ARMY is today. I wonder what its like growing up with Kpop in a world post-break up. It's hard for me to even imagine. It was nice to see BoA get her due though. I don't think she gets quite enough credit for how much she actually did for the internationalization of kpop. If she hadn't busted open Japan for KPop and Korean artists, we'd be in a very different place. Kpop owes a lot to that girl and its nice to see her get highlighted
@sophia t if sorry sorry and such get to be here, then there's no excuse for rising sun, balloons ect to be missing. I cannot overstate how massive tvxq was in the early-mid2000s
You have to take into account that kpop wasn't as known internationally back then as it was today. It was known in Japan and China during first Gen but that was about it
Roora is maybe not on the list because they are not KPOP or because this channel didn't want to show the scandalous member. I expected Angel who lost its wings to be here, so I gut surprised.
@@edoppelle K-Pop doesn’t only means groups, they were Band, Hip-hop,Ballad, R&B so many genre included.... And the songs shown are voted or mentioned by fans RooRa might have bad past days but they still pretty much known whole over Korea...even after so many years, they did the show on Knowing Bros also...They are 1st Co-ad group in 90's... Then Cool, Koyote become popular so i didn’t see any reason behind not to be included on the list
i didnt see one post trashing todays music. if someone says this gen was better for them.. just accept their opinion and move on. dont be so sensitive or act like current gen is untouchable. all opinions are valid unless they are meant to purposely hurt someone. and.. all gens had their pros and cons. i love h.o.t. - candy as much as T-ara - roly poly as much as bts - fake love as much as Treasure - going crazy and Dreamcatcher - Good Night. kpop is just.. for me... it has been amazing... non-stop.. for 25 years now. ok.. i wrote too much.. sorry.
@@angeloppa i saw a few comments taking about how today’s music isn’t really music and just found it funny that people feel they have to trash today’s music just to praise the music back then. i’m not being sensitive lmaooooo.
Yeah I don’t get the trashing of any generation of music. Newer Kpop fans trash older generations, and older generation fans trash the new ones. We should all just appreciate it for what it is. If one prefers one generation over another that’s fine but don’t disrespect the others.
As a Nine Muses fan I can remember three of these songs because they covered them through their active years. Some other songs were covered by other artists and/or referenced in music shows and in interviews. Recently BTS was jamming to some second generation T-Ara songs ("TTL - Time to Love" and "Women's Generation")
List song classic kpop legendary 1st generation 80s & 90s 1:get up - baby v.o.x 2: now - fin k.l 3: perfect man - shinhwa 4:im your girl - s.e.s 5: happiness - hot 6: t.o.p - shinhwa 7: black cat nero - turbo 8: coming of age ceremony - park ji yoon 9: wild eyes - shinhwa 10: sorrow of superman - dj doc 11: listen to my word - papaya 12: hey!

TURBO, Seo Taiji and Boys, Park Ji Yoon, Lee Junghyun (who is the first 1rst generation artist that I knew), S.E.S , H.O.T, G.O.D, Click-b, BOA, Son Dam bi, Black beat, Shinhwa, Deux, Koyote and Seschkies are my favourites ^^♥ I had a period where I listened only 1rst generation groups and solists 😂
Agree, We are grateful to hear these pioneers kickstart k-pop brand. Otherwise i will be stuck listen to christmas songs. Thank you people of korean .. love you deep deep ..resurrect my happy spirits for past 20+ years ,,
Many of us (new kpopers) have discovered these songs through our faves covering it right? I discovered Shinhwa's Perfect Man when JK covered it... Wow Shinhwa's songs and choreo was awesome and modern at that time Also I noticed that girls are not white washed and have natural tan complexion wow they look natural
Sechskies is my favorite. I'm so happy they reunited again under YGE. I love their songs so much. And btw BoA my Queen. I heard her on tv when I was 4!
The great thing about 90's KPop is that even though they adapted the sounds that were trendy during those times, they still feel like KPop and it tends to resonate with their fans locally as well, the concept and genres were unique and full of diversity.. especially the dances that they would do and the music itself.
Hi, thanks for the awesome list, don't forget to add DJ Doc Songs, Soild - Soul Mate, RooRa songs, UP, J, Kim Hyun Jung, Park Mi Kyung, and I'll be back to add more.
I also recommend: Two of us - Chae yeon Steal away - Park Ji Yoon Go away - Park Ji Yoon Illusion - Park Ji Yoon Pure love - Koyote Betrayal - Baby VOX Run to You - DJ DOC Favor - Chae Yeon Ignoring you - chae yeon😊
H.O.T - Candy is the best K-pop song for every 90s kids in Korea. I was born in 1993 and this song is still my favorite. it has that feeling of 90s mood and smell.
I know quite a few of these just because Mamamoo often sing it when they're at car, they include it in their medley (YHY Sketchbook), or they just involve these songs in their daily jokes.. Plus Solar is a huge fan of BOA.
quite shock that "I Know" by Seo Taiji and Boys did not make the list, its a very iconic song and one of the main reasons why K-pop is a thing today, but otherwise, decent list
yes but many koreans dosent think they are idole. they are just taiji boys. something is different. 1st gen are hot finkle sechkies ses may be. taiji changed korean culture. before taiji, every singers sang trot song. i still remember when watched i konw M/V in TV. that was tataly new one.
@@압둘라-d9uNot true. There were many dancing pop singers before Seo Taiji. Ex. Firetruck(80s boy group), Kim Wanseon. There was also rock music in 70s-80s. Saying that there was only trot before Seo Taiji is completely false.
Started listening to kpop since 2009 because of U-Kiss and Super Junior. During that time, the only 1st gen group that I know during that I know was Koyote because of kim jong min in 2d1n. Back then, if you listen to kpop people always make fun of us (in my country). But nowadays, the same people who made fun of us even listen to kpop now😂. What a way to eat their own words😂. But of course they only know the popular one😂.

7:05 Isn't this Moto and not Do You Love Me??
0:00 what title of this song?
nan arrayo seo taiji and boys introduce kpop
I feel every gen is important :
1st for starting it all and being trailblazers
2nd for establishing norms for kpop and consistency
3rd for the global spread and bts impact on kpop. Not a crazy stan but its foolish to ignore, there are other notable groups that have had similar effects, nct, got7, exo ect
4th gen for a lot more creative exploration and experimentation (not that it hasn't been around before, but it is a lot more common now)
Shinhwa's "perfect man" is one of the songs that will NEVER get old. It could come out this year and would be celebrated as a bop
Neither will Candy by H.O.T, Chivalry by Sechskies or I’m your girl by S.E.S
Wise words, my friend. Wise words. It got me into Shinhwa. Which by the way, has lots of great songs and variety shows.
Yeeeeessssssss 💝💕
Watch their remaster video.
Fr
Gen 1 and 2 will remain the most impactful, strongest and important KPOP generations. This video is missing more SECHSKIES, 1TYM and Koyote.
Oh you right😭
They're the ones who laid the groundwork.
Heya, I know this is a month old, but hmu if you have some recommendations for Koyote songs hmu. I really liked that song at the end there.
And Seotaiji & Boys
1tym is hip hop..............

So much nostalgia ... my first k-pop song was S.E.S’s Dreams Come True
I always talk about S.E.S. and no one knows what I'm talking about!
That isn't actually their song. It's originally from a Finnish girl group called Nylon Beat!
Wow, and now Aespa's version has been released
Park Yi Yoon's Coming of Age Ceremony was so iconic back then ♥
lol.. the message in that song... it was controversial for sure.. but what a classic! even one of the background dancers, Mina, had a hit called "answer the phone" too
Ji yoon
Still is
Is Park Jiyoon not Yiyoon
BoA is the one that got me into K-pop, back in 2010 and she's still going.
SM is really another level
How did people not suggest Boa's most legendary song, "My Name"... Also, no Rain or Se7en?
I was surprised Kim Gun Mo - Wrongful Coincidence wasn't here - it was such a staple at award shows
first boa song i ever heard was "Don't Start Now"... she kinda got into jpop back then too but she was still Korean Queen
also remember Rain is 1st gen too! he debuted in a group called "Fanclub" .. and i used to get him mixed up with se7en all the time lol

For example, Seo Taiji had a song in the American movie “3 ninjas kick back” in the early 90s (ironically it was played during a scene where they went to Japan, but kpop wasn’t a thing back then so nobody knew lol)
@@angeloppa where are you from 🤔
Anyone starting to listen to KPOP 2018+ and still fall in love with these gold legendary songs?
YESSSS
@@-komarudin-6954 Nice haha! I wish more kpop fans now will appreciate these songs too
I joined the k-pop fandom in 2019. These are gold ✨✨
Nup I started listening in 2006
so many koreans listen old k pop more than new one.
Can you do a simillar video for 2nd gen kpop please?
They already put it in the pinned comment, you can check it
I love this, it's always important to understand who laid the groundwork for K-pop. I was a teen when most of these songs were released - I have no doubt that had I been introduced to K-pop around this time, I would probably stan Fin.KL, SES and Sechskies for sure.
It's not too late to stan, a lot of the members are still active in the industry!
Same!!!
I remember during the time when I just started out listening to Kpop, I wondered what 90s Kpop sounded like and I fell in love with S.E.S and H.O.T
Thanks for being open-minded musically!
Same here
I was the same ! first it was H.O.T then S.E.S then FinKL well you know the list lol when you're listening you can't stop trying to discover new song it was a wholesome era
sameee
@@angeloppa I am
Honoring the times and artists when it all started. This is the foundation.
8:19 wow that transition from Seo Taiji to Lee Hyori was like the perfect mashup lol
Perfect transition omg
K-pop as we know it today wouldn't exist without these artists. They're the real founders and foundresses of K-pop.
I just have one word : ICONICCCCCCC
@Kori Pierce 😭😭
@Kori Pierce Butthurt?
Shinhwa’s Perfect Man has stood the test of time...Shinhwa is just THAT group
Lee Jung Hyun - WA still one of my favorites songs
Iconic
still legend
YES TO THE INTRO! Baby Vox one of the most iconic 1st gen groups with an equally iconic discography
This is my literal middle school/high school years right here. Glad to be with fellow seasoned fans!
First generation Kpop was so different , I just don't have a favorite because all are amazing! It just gives you back such a nostalgic vibe that can never change .
The first Gen had elements of western pop, hip hop, and r&b at that time. 90s and early 2000s music was a great time in music in general.
I didn’t find Kpop until 2008. Been hooked ever since. Only thing that has consistently bugged me is how mannequin like most of the girl groups seemed to dance and pose. Seems everybody was much more natural in first gen. Seeing Shinwa when they were young was fun.
Where you from?
@@visualbeauty3427 America. I am now a 70 year old pale beige granny. Shocked? My family and friends decided I had lost what few marbles I had left when I got hooked on Kpop in 2008. And Kdramas and other tv shows. I used to live where those were broadcast on a couple of odd stations at night.
Where are you from?
Why are you only coming for girl groups and then compare them to shinwa when shinwa is a boy group. It’s 2021 a lot of things have changed since then, but don’t start insulting 4th generation and ruin it for the rest of us young teens that enjoy the 4th gen groups. Most of the 4th gen girl groups dance so good and have advanced dancing compared to 1st gen.
@@kiaradenese1272 they didn't compare them, they made two separate statements. And they can have an opinion about them dancing better then vs. now lol Why even let that comment "ruin" your enjoyment of 4th gen 😂
@@ashjoyner8032 4th gen fans are sensitive
Im surprised that H.O.T. - Iyah , Warriors Descendant and Sechskies - School Byeolgok are not in the list
Iconic songs 🔥
Sechskies Pom sen pom sa, Com' Back, Chivalry, School Anthem, Road Fighter 😋 some of the legendary songs which rocks till today
Lee segeun said pom saeng pom sa supremacy😭😂😭😂
Ahhhh, seeing Turbo and Lee Jung Hyun in a compilation always makes me happy! I listen to those two artists every day; and have been doing so for almost a year.
Same..December, Tonight and Jazz Bar have not left my playlists since they got released.
@@windboy yes plus twist king and cyber lover
I like Kim Jong Kook and turbo
Sechskies 💛 G.O.D 💙 Shinhwa 🧡 H.O.T 💚
I wasn't alive during the majority of this gen and was only a toddler when it "ended" but I still appreciate and enjoy watching this a lot
I'm in the millennium by the way (apparently, I'm not into kpop that time) but these songs are very impactful to the KPOP industry.
The nostalgia
perfect man, coming of age ceremony, candy, and hope still being my favorite kpop songs. and i really love how the whole kpop industry call s.e.s as ‘fairy’ cause their visual really looks like they’re from a fairytale
❤️
1. Shinhwa - Perfect Man
2. Park Ji Yoon - Coming Of Age Ceremony
3. Kim Sung Jae - As I Told You
Love love LOVE SECHSKIES!!! They did a re-album of their old hits a few years back. Go listen!!! 💛💛💛
FINKL AND SES 😭😭😭 G.O.D & HOT AND SHINHWA YESSSSS AS THEY DESERVE.
ALSO TURBO and PARK JIYOON
I find G.O.D to be a tad presumptuous.
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music the abbreviation was g.o.d., the real name was groove over dose lol
@@shruthakeerthi4559 Have you watched that new YT documentary on K-pop? They interview the rapper but in the credits identifying him leave out the periods, so it just says "[Dude's name], god". I didn't know who he was but I figured he must be important.
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music they interviewed both the rapper, Joon Park, and the vocalist, Kim Taewoo. Leaving out the periods is pretty weird on the editing team's part because "god" is pronounced 갓 (gat) in Korea while g.o.d. is 지오디 (ji-o-di) , which is the name they went by. G.o.d. were pretty much the first boy group to leave the "teenage fangirls" target audience and made music to appeal to all ages, which is why their songs are so timeless. Candle light processions still sing 촛불하나 (One Candle), To Mother is considered an anthem basically
I had no idea that Red Velvet's "Be Natural" was a cover
Same 😱
The original is majestic! You have to check it out
Sm tradition. New gg cover one of older gg or artists songs
I just realized so was Twice’s ‘precious love’ as I was reading your comment lol
SECRET did a cover of FIN.K.L - Now, Oh my Girl did a cover of Papaya - Listen to my world as well
surprised not to see the early TVXQ stuff make the cut here. I wonder sometimes if current kpop fans really know exactly what it was like back in those days when Cassiopeia was as big and boisterous as ARMY is today. I wonder what its like growing up with Kpop in a world post-break up. It's hard for me to even imagine. It was nice to see BoA get her due though. I don't think she gets quite enough credit for how much she actually did for the internationalization of kpop. If she hadn't busted open Japan for KPop and Korean artists, we'd be in a very different place. Kpop owes a lot to that girl and its nice to see her get highlighted
@sophia t if sorry sorry and such get to be here, then there's no excuse for rising sun, balloons ect to be missing. I cannot overstate how massive tvxq was in the early-mid2000s
wasn't tvxq early second gen?? (they were considered the pioneers of the same too)
Tvxq was the most popular from 2nd gen
You have to take into account that kpop wasn't as known internationally back then as it was today. It was known in Japan and China during first Gen but that was about it
This is such a top class list... Need to listen to some of these... Thanks a lot for this awesome compilation.
But they forget to mentioned Milk,RooRa,Cool,DJ Doc, Fly to the sky and many more
Roora is maybe not on the list because they are not KPOP or because this channel didn't want to show the scandalous member. I expected Angel who lost its wings to be here, so I gut surprised.
@@edoppelle K-Pop doesn’t only means groups, they were Band, Hip-hop,Ballad, R&B so many genre included....
And the songs shown are voted or mentioned by fans
RooRa might have bad past days but they still pretty much known whole over Korea...even after so many years, they did the show on Knowing Bros also...They are 1st Co-ad group in 90's... Then Cool, Koyote become popular so i didn’t see any reason behind not to be included on the list
I'm pretty sure I saw DJ Doc in here xD
Fly to the sky one on my fav from sm
Also Chakra like how can you forgot them since they've the unique concept ever in K-pop...
OMG I DIDN'T KNOW "INVITATION" WAS MADE BY UHM JUNG HWA!!!!! I LOVE THAT SONG & I LOVE THIS VIDEO WITH GREAT 1ST LEGENDARY SONGS!!!
y’all realize you don’t have to trash today’s music to praise this, right? lol
i didnt see one post trashing todays music. if someone says this gen was better for them.. just accept their opinion and move on. dont be so sensitive or act like current gen is untouchable. all opinions are valid unless they are meant to purposely hurt someone. and.. all gens had their pros and cons. i love h.o.t. - candy as much as T-ara - roly poly as much as bts - fake love as much as Treasure - going crazy and Dreamcatcher - Good Night. kpop is just.. for me... it has been amazing... non-stop.. for 25 years now. ok.. i wrote too much.. sorry.
@@angeloppa i saw a few comments taking about how today’s music isn’t really music and just found it funny that people feel they have to trash today’s music just to praise the music back then. i’m not being sensitive lmaooooo.
@@splashoftrash oh ok *shrugs shoulders* 😎
Yeah I don’t get the trashing of any generation of music. Newer Kpop fans trash older generations, and older generation fans trash the new ones. We should all just appreciate it for what it is. If one prefers one generation over another that’s fine but don’t disrespect the others.
Say it louder for the people in the back 🙌🏾
bro I met kpop in 2016 and I'm shocked that I actually knew a lot of these songs... like how??????
one thing about kpop, it tends to respect its past (not always). so many current groups cover old skool kpop songs.. i love that
As a Nine Muses fan I can remember three of these songs because they covered them through their active years. Some other songs were covered by other artists and/or referenced in music shows and in interviews. Recently BTS was jamming to some second generation T-Ara songs ("TTL - Time to Love" and "Women's Generation")
thank you for appreciating SHINHWA in this ❤️ Kim Dongwan is my 1st Kpop bias. They're one of my favorite kpop groups along with Super Junior.

Damn, I didn't realize that some of these songs were 1st generation kpop. I've just always heard them.
TURBO, Seo Taiji and Boys, Park Ji Yoon, Lee Junghyun (who is the first 1rst generation artist that I knew), S.E.S , H.O.T, G.O.D, Click-b, BOA, Son Dam bi, Black beat, Shinhwa, Deux, Koyote and Seschkies are my favourites ^^♥ I had a period where I listened only 1rst generation groups and solists 😂
10:25 is my favorite BoA song, i didnt think it was that popular but i glad to see other people that like it😭❤
Also I had no idea Be Natural was a cover! That's awesome!
Purple Line of DBSK? They're classified as 2nd gen

@@jeshellecerbito6697 oh nvm. I see now that it means 1990s kpop. Purple line was 2008. Neat

@@jeshellecerbito6697 Are the rest of the gens that straight forward?
Shinhwa!!! ❤️ I love them..4 ever..
Sechskies couple as my winter theme song.
Kim Gun Mo's legendary Wrongful Encounter should be on the list! Also everybody's summer favorite, Woman on the Beach by Cool.
Agree, We are grateful to hear these pioneers kickstart k-pop brand.
Otherwise i will be stuck listen to christmas songs. Thank you people of korean .. love you deep deep ..resurrect my happy spirits for past 20+ years ,,
I feel like i need such throwbacks more often ♥ Guess because i grew up with 1st-2nd gen in the middle ! ♫
I couldn't find Ari ari by Lee jung Hyun on Spotify 😭😭😭😭
It's such a bop, I love it so much, it's first gen 1 song I ever heard.❤️❤️
It's on Apple Music! Most of her albums are on Apple Music but I'm mad as hell it doesn't have her 2004 album with the song Follow Me.
Many of us (new kpopers) have discovered these songs through our faves covering it right?
I discovered Shinhwa's Perfect Man when JK covered it...
Wow Shinhwa's songs and choreo was awesome and modern at that time
Also I noticed that girls are not white washed and have natural tan complexion wow they look natural
I honestly love watching shinhwa perform
THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN MISSING OUT ON? 😭💔
S.KOREA ❤Elevator Boys
I love the first generation because im from the old school. Grettings from Argentina.
why I felt warm after watching this💕i miss baby vox
Me toooo especially EZ the cool rapper
Sechskies is my favorite. I'm so happy they reunited again under YGE. I love their songs so much. And btw BoA my Queen. I heard her on tv when I was 4!
Man, we wish our parents listened to this when they were younger.
Oh my god i want to go back in time and grow up listening to *these* songs😍😭

BOA was the first korean singer i knew 19yrs ago, but she was singing japanese song (from ost anime)
Shinhwa Changjo and Yellkie here ~ 🧡💛
Thank you so much for this video ♥️
I didn't know Oh My Girl's A-ing was a cover of Papaya! I'm so shocked haha
A lot of bands who are always in the back of your mind that you never really forget about

I love Suju’s version of Happiness 🥺🤍
I didn't know it was a cover..
@@akahimemiyaka9996 I know me too, then when I got deeper into kpop I realized the fact that it was a cover 😂😂

Love g.o.d. vocals. It's so good. But I indeed like most sm songs. There is a reason why that company still lasts.
G.o.d. main vocal voice is just too good.
I like the horseness style of the voice
Lol! I used to have a crush on Kangta from H.O.T when I was in middle school.... Good time! Good time!
Hahaha gold old days
No lie, he's still handsome lol
The great thing about 90's KPop is that even though they adapted the sounds that were trendy during those times, they still feel like KPop and it tends to resonate with their fans locally as well, the concept and genres were unique and full of diversity.. especially the dances that they would do and the music itself.
Hi, thanks for the awesome list, don't forget to add DJ Doc Songs, Soild - Soul Mate, RooRa songs, UP, J, Kim Hyun Jung, Park Mi Kyung,
and I'll be back to add more.
I think you forgot a K-pop NRG group.
but thank you for introducing the first generation of K-pop super fan🥰😍
I also recommend:
Two of us - Chae yeon
Steal away - Park Ji Yoon
Go away - Park Ji Yoon
Illusion - Park Ji Yoon
Pure love - Koyote
Betrayal - Baby VOX
Run to You - DJ DOC
Favor - Chae Yeon

Shinhwa 🍊.
Amazing how technology has improved in just 20 short years.
H.O.T - Candy is the best K-pop song for every 90s kids in Korea. I was born in 1993 and this song is still my favorite. it has that feeling of 90s mood and smell.
Exactly
I’ve always been obsessed with 90s Kpop especially HOT
I know quite a few of these just because Mamamoo often sing it when they're at car, they include it in their medley (YHY Sketchbook), or they just involve these songs in their daily jokes..
Plus Solar is a huge fan of BOA.
quite shock that "I Know" by Seo Taiji and Boys did not make the list, its a very iconic song and one of the main reasons why K-pop is a thing today, but otherwise, decent list
"I know" is the first kpop song ever existed. Seo taiji and boys were the one that started kpop.
yes but many koreans dosent think they are idole. they are just taiji boys. something is different. 1st gen are hot finkle sechkies ses may be. taiji changed korean culture. before taiji, every singers sang trot song. i still remember when watched i konw M/V in TV. that was tataly new one.
Seo Taiji is probably like 0th Gen rather than 1st gen.
@@압둘라-d9uNot true. There were many dancing pop singers before Seo Taiji. Ex. Firetruck(80s boy group), Kim Wanseon. There was also rock music in 70s-80s. Saying that there was only trot before Seo Taiji is completely false.
SHINHWA🧡
First and second gen kpop will always be the best. I love NRG and INFINITE. As a mid 90s baby i love the old school stuff.
Started listening to kpop since 2009 because of U-Kiss and Super Junior. During that time, the only 1st gen group that I know during that I know was Koyote because of kim jong min in 2d1n. Back then, if you listen to kpop people always make fun of us (in my country). But nowadays, the same people who made fun of us even listen to kpop now😂. What a way to eat their own words😂. But of course they only know the popular one😂.
Great video! They were a few missing, like Kim GunMo, Steve Yoo, but otherwise it was super complete! Glad to see some 1st gen acknowledgment.
Just a suggestion. It would be great if you could feature the year of the song too. Keep up the amazing work!
Surprisingly I know most of this songs. I guess it’s because today’s idol cover this song ♥️ 1st gen idol is really idol’s idol
JYP young OMG...
Black Beat deserved more Wings was underrated.
I would've added
Shinhwa - Brand New
S - I Swear
Fly to the Sky - Missing You/Sea of Love
Ses I'm your girl is literally the blueprint of girl groups
