      I Got A Boy won the first UA-cam music video of the year. Over nominations that included Justin Bieber,One Direction,Lady Gaga,Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus,Macklamore,Demi Lavato,Epic rap battles of history, And Psy. And Tiffany excepted it live. Just to have a lot of Americans start race shaming her online. Is was a huge moment but sad as well.

      ​@@abc158 Cosmetics in Korea was heavily impacted by Japan ever since the colonization. Shiseido (Japan's biggest cosmetics company, 4th biggest in the world, has existed for over 150 years; while big cosmetic companies in Korea have only been developed post WW2. I'm not saying Korea never comes up with their own things, which would be dumb to say, but if you want to talk about idols or the music industry in general, then you are undoubtedly mistaken if you think South Korea started it. Almost all business models, even outside the field, are adopted from Japan. It's just the truth whether you don't like it or not. Even Koreans admit it, and they should be proud of it because look at how successful the economy is blooming in South Korea. Japan did it with Western and Chinese influence (much more Western than Chinese), and look how that impacted Japan. There's no shame to adopt then adapt a concept; but it is to lie about it for egotistic reasons.

    i got a boy was released in january 2013 and was the start of "experimental" kpop! it was extremely controversial since it was the first of its genre at the time, but its thanks to its commercial success that sm really delved deeper into an experimental sound that has become somewhat mainstream recently. also, the bring it back to 140 brought the song back to 140 bpm too LMAO just an extra layer for you to think about.
    snsd was also known to have no fixed concept! they were the only 2nd gen group to not have a fixed concept, because the selling point for them wasnt necessarily their brand musically but the combination between catchy music and the members themselves and their personal branding. it was IMPOSSIBLE to be korean in the 2010's and not be able to name every single member of the group, each member was a household name.
    if you want another girl group to deep dive i heavily recommend f(x)! their final 3 albums were masterpieces and all their titles were super fun too. also wonder girls, they were THE girl group in korea at one point (the group sunmi used to be in btw).

      This is the answer I'm pretty sure. It was almost undoubtedly written to refer to 140BPM, and the video being 1:40 at that moment was probably at least partially coincidental (although they may have then purposely cut the intro in just the right way so that the 1:40 reading also works).

      I came a little later in 2010 a few months after Oh!, but The Boys comeback was *the* greatest most iconic comeback of their career that I was a fan during. IGAB was a big splash that may have been more directly influential to the industry (allowing the whole genre to get way more experimental), but The Boys from teaser photos to the final live performances was exactly as you say: a holy shit moment about talent, about flexibility, about innovation, and about potential.

    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 UA-cam video awards. SNSD are "the nation's girl group" and considered queens for a reason. :D They are the girl group, that most other girl groups who came after them are modeled after.
    Jessica, who is one of the two Korean-American members; Taeyeon who is the leader of SNSD and one of the top female vocalists in Kpop (also one of the most popular female solo artists); and Seohyun were the singers during the ballad breakdown section. As you know, SM is known for their power vocalists, so you will find amazing vocalists like this in all of SM's groups, including boy groups.
    This was 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.

    I Got A Boy is an anthology of stories from different girls which is why the sound switches up so much.
    Also, there are some great SNSD song recommendations in the comments which you should check out but to fully understand the appeal of GG you have to react to their personalities or a funny video compilation, they're HILARIOUS. They're super loud, super bold, they'll say just about anything (perks of being icons), and they're known as variety queens. It's one of the few groups in which each one of them is a household name because they're all individually famous actors and performers.

    i love how in just 4 videos you managed to hit all the checkboxes for SNSD's brand: the "chanty" choruses (in most if not all their songs, the chorus is sung by all the members, all together) and the leg-choreography (the long legs visual and leg-choreography is an absolute staple in SNSD's discography and you'll notice it in many, many of their videos)
    also, concerning "I Got a Boy", SNSD set out to make a song with many different genres mixed into one song, so it is supposed to give you a bit of a whiplash lol weirdly enough, I Got a Boy's transitions between beats actually feel very natural if compared to some jarring beat changes/drops you see in kpop nowadays (at least for me). I Got a Boy was also a milestone for kpop in general, seeing as all fandoms came together to vote it video of the year on the 2013 UA-cam Awards, highlighting kpop even more in a time where it was starting to take the global market by the throat.

    SNSD leads me to Kpop since i was a kid, they are my first love at the first sight, now im Blink and Teume, but im not gonna forget them, they are kpop legends also my bias is SEOHYUN if u never heard about her cz she is now active as an actress you can find her in Kdramas, fyi she is the one of the best vocals in SNSD along with Tae and Tiff, she is a smart queen, she’s famous with one of idol with highest IQ, she is also lead dancer, she is pianist (her mom is piano teacher) she also can play guitar n now she is good actor too

    That's the thing about GG. No matter what concept they decide to do. They've slayed them all. You should also check out some of their Japanese songs, I would suggest galaxy supernova, divine, and/or indestructible.

    The way I always interpreted the lyrics / conversation of the lyrics in "I Got a Boy,"
    Intro: Basically the girls noticing a change.
    Street scene: Calling her overconfident while she's saying they just want her to be ordinary because they're jealous.
    1:40: Talking about how amazing this boy is.
    Spotlight hits: Self doubt starts creeping into her mind and she starts nitpicking. As well as the friends questioning your own relationships by comparison.
    1:40: Pulling herself out of that train of thought by remembering what he's like.
    Ending: Focusing on the things in the relationship that proves he's a good guy for her.

    "Gee" was released in 2009 -- 2 years after debut -- and it has a pretty simple story. How I interpreter it is the girls are mannequins in a clothing store that come to life after store hours when no one is watching. Kind of like if you have ever seen the 1980s movie called "Mannequin". They all have a crush on the handsome young store manager, who is played by Minho from SHINee. The girls are tired of being trapped in the store and one night they decide to escape. Minho comes back in the morning and discovers that the mannequins are missing, but I guess he isn't too concerned because he is employee of the month and he is on cloud nine because the girls all kissed his picture. There is no deep story there, it's exactly what you see. :D
    On a side note: SHINee is SNSD's juniors, and they debuted a year after Girls' Generation. As label mates they often are featured in each others' MVs. For example, Jessica, a member of SNSD, also was in SHINee's "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" MV in 2013.
    "Gee" is one of SNSD's most famous songs and it is probably one of the most well-known Kpop girl group songs of all time. If you ask anyone around the world if they know any Kpop songs, at least one of the songs they will mention, and probably do the dance too, is "Gee." It is so well known that pretty much every group in the industry, both girl groups and boy groups, know this song and dance and probably have even done a cover performance at least once in their career. If you have ever seen boy groups doing girl group dances, then I am sure you have seen them dance to "Gee." It's pretty much the go to song.

    iconic groups you should check out after snsd is *wonder girls* (they were considered snsd's rivals since they debuted in the same year lol). fun fact, they were the FIRST GIRL group to chart on billboard with "nobody" in 2009!
    *songs i recommend: tell me, so hot, i feel you, why so lonely*
    also debuting in the same year is *kara*! they were one of the most popular "groups" headlining the hallyu wave in japan for second gen. alongside snsd/bigbang/etc. they had back to back hits in japan and it all started with "mister". people always considered kara to be more popular in japan compared to snsd than in korea (but they were still a top group even in korea).
    *songs i recommend: pretty girl, mr, step, pandora, when i move(this is their recent 15th anniversary comeback)*

    So much nostalgia. I'm Australian but I was living in New Zealand 2008-2010 and in Christchurch they had Arirang TV and I would watch Pops in seoul. I remember Gee Gee being one of those songs that I just found so catchy and helped me get into Kpop.

    Because you picked the subtitles version of IGAB that you did, you avoided a trap other reactors fall into. The official MV has an extra introduction (a scene in a pink bedroom) that messes up the timing of rewinding to "take it back to" 1m40s, the reference is for the album version of the song which doesn't have that intro. 140 ALSO refers to the BPM of that section!

    Mr mr video had to be re shot back then, people said SM got problem with the OG director (the official news said the video back up was lost or something) thats why we saw very different scene (the dance scene in the garage/the OG mv, and the hospital scene/ the reshoot).
    Also the theme is again uplifting. Theyre replacing the man’s heart with the new crystalized one so he becomes the better person.

    IGAB is experimental and fresh, yes, but it's not all new. Some people call it the Bohemian Rhapsody of kpop which certainly holds water, but the whole thing starts to make more sense when you think of it as musical-turned-pop-song and compare it more with the likes of West Side Story. Each time the music shifts, the girls essentially take on a new cast of characters giving their own take on "the situation" as if this were one of the big plot-moving songs near the beginning of a musical.
