Super Junior looks young but they are definitely not. Leeteuk, the oldest, is 37. Even the youngest, Kyuhyun, is 32. But they act like straight up children😂
It is funny for me when americans so surprised that there is something popular excisting and they didn't know about this. Guys, world is a big place, and Asia is huge af. Most of k-pop groups popular specific in Asia. Meanwhile, we are not familiar with western rappers and singers, it's ok.
@@jerseygirl6221 Please don't... You just generalized a whole country, And that is enough to start a whole war in these replies... Not all English speakers are americans and not all americans are english speakers
lmao the disbelief when suju showed up. fun fact: shinhwa is a boy group that have been together for almost 22 years so you’ll be surprised at how many of the 2nd gen groups are still together! edit: also a lot of idols tend to debut when they’re teenagers which is probably why they look so young now (also genes). (unnecessary) edit #2: guess it's worth mentioning that sechskies is also a group who have been together since 1997 and were last reported preparing to make comeback a couple of months ago.
@@dariakomissarchik6731 me too! was kinda disappointed but I was happy to see groups such as tvxq, shinee and b.a.p. wish they had included sechskies too actually.
this is "most popular" as in, mostly, the song with more views on UA-cam. a lot of groups have more popular songs or more than one popular song... so if you feel like you kinda dig one group, look them up more. also super junior, the youngest is 31 or so, I think their average age is like 35?
I was so weirded out by the fact they talked though bigbang and then they straight up said they didnt know them! Man its still so weird to hear that. So many of thesound changes and fashion changes you guys mention in the video were straight up influenced by Bigbang.
I know right!!? They literally are one of the core and fundamentals of KPOP and it feels so weird to me that these guys are getting into Kpop without knowing who they are.
@@sally-fm5jq yeah we already know lol, that doesnt really negate our point? We werent telling them off, we were saying its just so weird the shift thats happened
@@mochimarsh9745 No hate because those are all incredibly talented groups but they all came from the big three entertainment companies... So it makes sense that they would get more attention in their early days.
@@mochimarsh9745 Yeah definitely! I don't really listen to girl groups but I can clearly see the impact that twice and blackpink have both had! Also personally, I think that exo have some of the best vocals in kpop.
NCT is a whole other level of group on its own because NCT dream get older + leave the group. Usually placed in another NCT group/sub.There are multiple NCT groups so it gets a bit confusing sometimes. They even get confused lmao! But anyways...My request... NCT DREAM: BOOM + NCT 127: Regular (English) + NCT U: Boss PLEASSEEEE!!!! ^__^ ALSO, Super Junior members are in their mid/late 30s already. Lmao!!! They've been around for soooooo long! ALSO, LOL...Shinee...one of the ones you guys liked a lot. Everything they put out: AMAZING! Unfortunately, one of the members passed away, so it might be a little sad for people that love them a lot so just thread carefully when y'all react to them. ♡✌ #Fighting
Also...EVERY older group is still together!! If I'm not mistaken.. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong please) Also...y'all need to hop on IKON + BIGBANG real quick!! Lmao IKON: bling bling is one of my faves BIGBANG: Bang Bang Bang is a kpop MUST know! Lol :)
It kinda hurts at 5:28when he said that 😢 because the leader is no longer part of the group but you should definitely listen to IKON their songs are amazing
Old fans like me are upset that people only know the hit songs ,and don't even know that they have been on stage since 2013 .... I don't hate new fans ,but they just are too annoying sometimes
Andrijana Stamenic that’s called being delusional not real, a lot of bts’s old fans became multis and started throwing them under the bus for their other groups and that’s coming for an old army, ya’ll just hate new fans because they actually defend bts and don’t care about kpop much that’s why they’re “annoying” to you.
@@dee560 And you think that old fans are like that , you then don't know much ... I respect every group and BTS is my favorite group . I had enough ,l said " the new fans are sometimes annoying" not all the time like calm yourself and stop it like chill little bit. As a fellow Army l just want you to understand that that's my personal opinion and you don't need to respond to this. Oh yes and that's all
B.A.P disbanded unfortunately, but they're songs are amazing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a group called PENTAGON, they're so underrated and have so many great songs. I recommend "Sha La La"(that was the outro song in the video), "Can You Feel It" , "Shine", and "Naughty Boy".
@@s.coupsdetat2165 I really hope so I'm literally waiting for Yongguk to come back from the military so he can release more music :(. I miss him a lot.
@@s.coupsdetat2165 Omg I knew he got hacked but all of his music videos were erased? That's so terrible! I wonder if he even knows about it, how dare someone erase his hard work.
Most older boy groups stay together, including in this video (especially because men tend to reach their visual and physical peak later in life) it’s the females that tend to disband when they get older (especially because GP tends to move on and change their interest into the newest, hottest women) Actually the only OG girl group that hasn’t disbanded is Girls’ Generation
When the band from 2005 is still going strong, but one of the ones from 2017 is already disbanded 😂 honestly nearly all the groups in this one are still together but it goes to show that you can never tell. And Kpop is a little different in that members can leave and often the band will still hold together and keep going strong
Someone's gotta be the villain and say it, but these reactors aren't the brightest even knowing they're ignorant of the matter, they could have had better assumptions or more logical disclosure. At least they seem very nice ^^
Aliii Rxsa the industry is sexist and women aren’t seen as desirable or marketable to a male audience once they’re over/close to 30 but men are still considered marketable to a female audience at that age. thats why ggs tend to get less popular over time, as well as the older they get the larger the percentage of female fans vs male fans they have gets. companies are also infamous for mistreating their ggs vs their bgs, as well as the fact that bgs tend to have more dedicated female fanbases that can support them past the 7 year threshold that tends to be the end for a lot of ggs
I guess you could call me a 2nd gen stan, my introduction to Korean music was DBSK , Big Bang , BoA, Wonder Girls, Super Junior, Epik High, etc back in 2005/2006 when UA-cam was just starting up. Even back then there were plenty of people outside of Korea interested in Kpop but it was A LOT harder to find videos about the groups or the content would get claimed as copyright infringement and you wouldn’t be able to watch (especially music shows or award shows). I think a lot has changed in terms of availability these days which has helped a lot.
Bigbang and super junior are kings of kpop, and they are still together. Bigbang was in hiatus for 3 years because of their military service but they will comeback this year and they will perform at Coachella it's crazy
3 Biggest boy groups in Kpop: 1. *NCT* : NCT with all of its units and members combined has *21 members total as of 2020* 2. *Seventeen* : contrary to their name, Seventeen actually has 13 members (their saying is; 13 members + 3 units + 1 team = Seventeen) 3. *The Boyz* : The Boyz is a fairly new Kpop group who has 11 members total. They used to have 12 but Unfortunately a member named Hwall recently left due to health issues :( Honorable mentions: - *Wanna One* (disbanded in 2019): Wanna One had 11 members - *X1* :X1 was actually a *very* new boy group but had to disband after only a year of activity due to scandals and controversy over how the group was formed and how the members were chosen. They had 11 members as well. - *Super Junior* : Super Junior is technically still active but only have 7 members active out of 11 at the moment due to hiatus or military service
Super Junior debuted November 6, 2005. And still going STRONG 💙 The oldest members (Leeteuk & Heechul) were 22 (year of birth 1983) Now they’re 37 yo. (yeah I think they’re vampires too💗) The youngest member-maknae- (Kyuhyun) was 18 (year of birth 1988) when he debuted (he was added to super junior in 2006) he is 32 💗
replay by shinee is still one of THE best debut songs by a boy group in kpop, period. everytime i see videos like this it makes me miss 2nd generation kpop
@@yennhiteresa then say that little brain. if i didn't understand then chances are they didn't either. they most likely get many comments like this everytime they post things like this. its probably extremely discouraging to get into kpop with these comments.
@Emanuell Eine they said in that video that they didn't know as much as they thought they did either. what did you expect? they click on these videos to learn and have fun.
OMG, I love songs of Beast, Bigbang, Exo, BTOB, and BTS too. Yeah, for me it’s been already 8 years. All the songs are so good and remind me of the old days. Thanks a lot.
Bro, you guys have barely scratched the surface of Kpop! groups like Super Junior, Big Bang, TVXQ, Shinee are legends in KPOP. Believe it or not, out of all the groups in this compilation, only B.A.P and Wanna One have officially disbanded since it was uploaded. Several of them like Block B, Infinite, TVXQ, and Shinee aren't active at the moment because members are either fousing on solo work or there are members enlisted in the military (all korean men must enlist for service for about 2 years). More boy groups overcome the "7 year curse" which is typically how long most Kpop company contracts are, than girl groups, meaning they renew their contracts with their company and continue promoting as a group rather than disbanding. So surprisingly, Super Junior is not the oldest Kpop group. Also, not to discredit their talents or anything because they are amazing, but most of the groups who's debut "blew them up" came from large companies like SM, JYP, and YG, companies who already have other groups so when they debut a new group, other group's fans are more enticed to check them out and since they're from a famous company, people keep an eye out for their debuts.
Aw man, the golden era of kpop was so good (2010-2012) Got me nostalgic, when we kpop fandoms supported each other and there was not that much toxicity
I don't understand these new "kpopers" how do they not know of the most iconic bads ever ... " Kpoppers" now days only know bts, exo, black pink, twice and the claim to be the biggest "kpop fans"
B.A.P so sad that they disband, I mean their debut song is also popular because they brought a whole new concept of being the blonde group and they were known for their rap and their song concept they were always talking about the society, if only people appreciated them more, they will be popular as BTS OR EXO tho!!! They deserve it so much, truly so sad they disband 😭😭😭😭
YOOO THEY WERE SO SHOOK TO SEE SUPER JUNIOR IN 2005 DEBUTED 😂😂. what’s crazy to me is that even though they lost a lot of members, they’re still together AND still active. i loved super junior up until 2018 with lo siento and i slowly went away from them because like you guys said, kpop is a hard industry to debut in and there’s soloists and groups debuting left and right and it’s hard to keep up with them.
INFORMATION OF THE NCT SUBUNITS ! ( WARNING: this is a long one ) NCT 127 - making their debut on july 7 2016, nct 127 consists of 10 members: taeil, johnny, taeyong, doyoung, yuta, jaehyun, winwin, jungwoo, mark, and haechan. member winwin is currently busy promoting with wayv (i'll expand more on them later on) so he's most likely not coming back, and member jungwoo is on hiatus due to health related issues. nct 127 is one of the nct subunits that focus on catering to the korean market and one of the two that has made big moves in the western market. the "127" in nct 127 are the longitudinal coordinates of seoul which is basically them stating they're based there in seoul, south korea. NCT U - debuting on april 9 2016, nct u is the first nct subunit. instead of having a fixed lineup of members like nct 127, nct u members switch every comeback. recently they released a christmas sounding ballad for the holidays and members present were: taeil, doyoung, jaehyun, and haechan. however past members that have been present for other comebacks are: taeyong, kun, ten, winwin, jungwoo, lucas, and mark. the "u" in nct u stands for united where some members come as one and promote for different comebacks. NCT DREAM - nct dream was the last nct subunit to debut in 2016 on august 24 and just like nct u they are a rotational subunit. however nct dream focus on being the youthful counterpart of nct as a whole so they are basically a group of the youngest members. because they need to maintain their youthful image, once the members turn 19 they are expected to graduate and promote in other nct subunits. members that are due to graduate soon but have no official date yet are: renjun, jeno, haechan, and jaemin. leaving nct dream with just 2 members: chenle and jisung, but more are on their way (i'll expand more on that in the general nct section). mark was a previous member however on december 31 of last year he graduated. WAYV - debuting on january 17 2019 makes them the most recent nct subunit to date. consisting of members: kun, ten, winwin, lucas, xiaojun, hendery, and yangyang, wayv is the nct subunit focused on appealing to the chinese market. all of the members except one (ten) are chinese. xiaojun, hendery, and yangyang are actually one of the more recent SM rookies (trainees under SM Entertainment). INFORMATION ON NCT AS A WHOLE ! NCT - nct are a group formed under SM Entertainment that currently consists of 21 members (overwhelming but i'll explain an easy way to get to know them) and 4 subunits. NCT is actually abbreviated for Neo Culture Technology which basically means the amount of members is limitless, basically infinite. so as members graduate or stop promoting with certain subunits, other members join or promote. HOW TO GET TO KNOW THEM - there are really good guides that talk about the different subunits separately, some go into all the members in depth (xiaojun, hendery, and yangyang ones may be harder to find since they're newer members), and others just give brief overviews of ALL the members. i personally learned them by unit and went from there. not to mention all the members have very unique and different personalities as well as their looks so i think it'll be relatively easy. but key is not to get stressed, it may seem overwhelming at first but it really easy. ALL THE MEMBERS ! TAEYONG - korean. 127 and nct's overall leader. born on july 1 1995. SUBUNITS: nct u, nct 127. TAEIL - korean. eldest member of nct. born on june 14 1994. SUBUNITS: nct u, nct 127.

You guys don't know what grunge is lol grunge fashion wise is basically wearing a farmer's plaid shirt either tied around your waist or unbuttoned with a band/graphic t-shirt, ripped jeans a necklace made out of safety pins and unkempt hair, what you keep calling grunge in multiple videos is either emo or punk with goth elements.
Here are some kpop groups from the 90s and 90s kpop is 1st generation H.O.T(BOY GROUP)-candy, we are the future, happiness G.O.D(BOY GROUP)-observation, dear mother S.E.S(GIRL GROUP)- love, be natural, twilight zone, I'm your girl Sechskies(BOY GROUP)- couple, chivalry, road fighter FINK.L(GIRL GROUP)- forever love, to my boyfriend, ruby Shinhwa(BOY GROUP)- resolver, eusha eusha, yo, twinkling of paradise, only one, sharing forever BABY V.O.X(GIRL GROUP)- Coincidence, killer, Xcstacy, get up
Can you react to Seventeen? Also they have 13 members. They are known as The “self-producing” idols and are the only idol group with that name given by the Korean public. I suggest Fear, Change Up, Home, and Don’t Wanna Cry.
BIGBANG and SUJU are like LEGEND in KPOP.. because they've been around for more than a decade, and they are still have a big name... but the one who got KING OF KPOP is BIGBANG tho.. you will know why BIGBANG is more famous, including how they already been in international music award in 2011... and they're still blew up everytime they make a comeback.. these recent two years they havent been around since all the members going in militiary almost in the same time that make them took some hiatus, but they will be back in 2020, thats why I'm so excited... and I LOVE SUJU a lot... they are still doing music even after a decades like what I've imagine since 2009 I know them,... they've been proven that their resolution isnt weak... they are doing even great music now,... but since I love Hip hop genre a lot, thats why BIGBANG steal my heart, but I love SUJU a lot.. I even can sing almost all songs in their old album... LOL
ASTRO - debuted in 2016. they have 6 members and were named by Billboard as one of the best new K-pop groups of 2016. they are stiil together. my favorite song of them is "all night" and their latest comeback, Blue Flame, was released in november. PENTAGON - debuted in 2016. they had originally 10 members, but e´dawn left the group (if you haven´t, you should check out his debut solo). They were introduced through the Mnet survival show Pentagon Maker. my favorite song of them is "shine". they are still together. also, kino is my bias. NCT DREAM - is a nct unit. they debuted in 2016. The group follows an admission-graduation system, where they graduate from the unit after reaching the Korean age of 20. they debuted originally with 7 members. mark graduated from the group in 2018. honestly, nct are one of the most complicated groups out there, they have 21 members, and took me awhile to get used to it. they are still together. BTOB - one of the messiest, funniest and crackheads groups out there, honestly. they debuted in 2012. they have 7 members. three of the members are doing their mandatory military service. they are still together. B.A.P - i honestly have so much love for this group. debuted in 2012. they had 6 members. they disbanded in 2019. they had a lot of problems with their company, because TS Entertainment is trash. it was reported that the group had filed a lawsuit against their label to nullify their contract, claiming unfair working conditions and profit distribution, including statements claiming that of the US$9 million the group had earned over the three years, each member had been paid a total of US$18,000. However, the following day, TS Entertainment issued a press release refuting the claims made, stating that there were "neither such maltreatment to the artists nor unfair clauses in the contract.” Their statements were challenged when B.A.P released another statement claiming lack of accountability and saying that they were considering filing for defamation of character. In 2018, members Yongguk and Zelo left the group after their contract with TS Entertainment expired. On February 18, 2019 the remaining four members also left TS Entertainment. However, member Jongup confirmed the possibility of reunion in the future. Also, you should check their solo activities. by the way yongguk is my bias. BLOCK B - debuted in 2011. they have 7 members. they also had a lot of problems with the agengy. Block B members, "During the signing of the exclusive contract, it was promised that in addition to providing proper training opportunity and facilities, we would be paid on every 25th of the following month…However, the agency has not paid us for nearly one year since April 2011."[12] (It's not clear whether it is 2011 or 2012 since the quote in the article states that it is nearly a year, but April 2011 would be well over a year). "It started last year in March when one member's contract was ended and his portion of the pay was calculated. appearance fees from events as well as pay from SBS drama 'Phantom's OST, MBC drama 'Golden Time' OST, and funds collected from the inauguration of our Japanese fan site's fan club, and more for a total of 10 things, have been omitted." They added, "The CEO of the agency, Mr. Lee, has also disappeared with the 70,000,000 KRW (~66,000 USD) that he collected from the members' parents." On May 20, 2013, it was reported that Mr. Lee had committed suicide. they left the company, and joined anther one, as a group.Most of them are doing their mandatory military service. you shold also check their solo activities. IKON - this group deverved so much better. they would be so big right now if it wasn´t for tehir shitty company (yg entertainment). debuted in 2015. The group was first introduced in the reality survival program WIN: Who is Next as "Team B". After that, Team B went on to appear in the 2014 reality survival program Mix & Match, which determined the final seven-member lineup of iKon. B.I announced his departure from the group on his personal Instagram account after news agency Dispatch unearthed KakaoTalk messages from three years prior, outlining his attempt to purchase marijuana and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) from an undisclosed female dealer. He was also accused of evading police charges. they are still together. NU´EST - debuted in 2012. they have 5 members. one of the members was part of the group wanna one. (i don´t know much about them sorry) BEAST/HIGHLIGHT - they debuted in 2009. they have 4 members. they changed the name of the group, because they changed labels. Beast initially received attention for the lack of industry success previously experienced by its members, with media outlets referring to them as "a group of recycled material." Junhyung announced his departure from Highlight after he admitted to watching illegal videos sent to him by singer Jung Joon-young, who is under investigation for secretly filming women during sex. (there was a huge scandal about this last year). they are still together. INFINITE - a crackhead group. debuted in 2010. they have 6 members. most of the members are doing their mandatory military service. WINNER - debuted in 2013 through reality survival program WIN: Who Is Next. they have 4 members. they are still together. if you haven´t, you should check out their solo activities. NCT U - subunit of nct. debuted in 2016. they have 6 members. nut they keep adding members according to their songs. they said on a korean show, Weekly Idol, that the theme of the sub unit consists of having members that fits in each song the best. (don´t know if that makes sense). they are still together. MONSTA X - you said you´ve heard about them before, so there´s not much to say, but last year, one of the members left the group, wonho, departed following recent allegations, and that the company intends to "hold legal liability" for "malicious and distorted claims" about him. Fans have since shown their support for both Wonho and the group, expressing their disapproval and requesting Starship that he be reinstated back into the group. which made me reaaly sad, because he was my bias. SEVENTEEN - you´ve heard of them, so there not much to say. but they known as the choreography kings. my favorite song of them is "clap". they have 13 members. WANNA ONE - i´m not a fan of wanna one. i don´t usually stan groups that were appart of reality shows, because they always end up disbanding. NCT 127 - nct sub unit. debuted in 2016. they have 10 members. Their name is a combination of the acronym for Neo Culture Technology which is their meaning for their unlimited members, and the number 127, which represents the longitudinal coordinate of Seoul. my bias is jungwoo. GOT7 - my ult group. debuted in 2014. they have 7 members. my bias is jaebum (JB) and my favorite song is "Face". BTS - everyone knows about them. my favorite song of them is "Let Me Know". EXO- the vocal kings. my favorite song of them is "Miracles in December" and "Universe". SHINEE - this group deserves so much love. debuted in 2008. they called the princes of kpop. they originally a 5 mebers group, but jonghyun died in 2017 (RIP). 2PM - debuted in 2018. originally 7 members. one of the members, jay park, left the group articles surfaced on the internet regarding Jaebeom's posts from 2005 on his personal Myspace account, in which he expressed his dislike for Korea while still a trainee for JYP Entertainment. Jaebeom issued an apology regarding this matter. Although some demanded that Jaebeom should be forced out of 2PM, JYP Entertainment CEO Park Jin-young stated lent the singer a vote of confidence, suggesting that he would remain in the group. Yet the following day, Jaebeom announced on his official fancafe that he would leave the group and return to the United States for a while to calm the situation. He planned to return to school and improve his understanding of music. At the same time, he apologized to his fellow band members for not being a good leader and older brother for them. He also promised to come back as a better person. they disbanded in 2016. you should also check out jay park solo activities (he´s owns 2 companies right now) SUPER JUNIOR - a crackhead group. debuted in 2005. originally 13 members. they were divided in smaller groups, simultaneously targeting different music industries and audiences. Individually, the members have also branched out into hosting, presenting and acting, and their successes and popularity as all-rounded entertainers have led other Korean entertainment managements to also begin training their music groups in other aspects of the entertainment industry. as of last year, they have 9 active members. Super Junior was the best-selling K-pop artist for four years in a row. they are still together. BIG BANG - the kings of kpop. debuted in 2006. originally 5 member group, seungri announced his retirement from the entertainment industry due to scandals surrounding the Burning Sun nightclub, resulting in his departure from Big Bang. they are going to perform this year at coachella. they are still together. all of the members completed their mandatory military service. TVXQ - Their name roughly translates to "Rising Gods of the East". they debuted in 2003. they were a 5 member group. now, just 2 of them. TVXQ have become one of Asia's most successful music acts of their generation. They are often referred to as "Asia's Stars" and the "Kings of K-pop" and are also Japan's best-selling foreign artist in CD singles of all time and Billboard has described the group as "K-pop royalty". they are still together.
Dang now I need to go back to my old school days and listen to TVXQ. I remember I was getting ready to go to high school around that time (shoot I probably was in high school most likely) when I discovered TVXQ and BoA and by 2007 I venture more into kpop
Most of the older groups are still together 😁 Like BigBang, TVXQ, Super Junior, SHINee, BTOB etc. I recommend y'all listen to Super Junior - Sorry Sorry! There's also an R&B version that is amazing that showcases their vocals. It's called Sorry Sorry (Answer). I also wanna recommend SHINee because they're honestly one of the best groups in kpop. Thanks for the reaction 💜
You should react MonstaX~!! ‘Alligator’, ‘Hero’, ‘Dramarama’, ‘Fighter’, ‘Play it Cool’... They’re the first kpop group attended in Jingle Ball Con. 2018, 2019. And ‘ I heart Music Festival’ in Las Vegas in 2019 summer. They entered Grammy Main Chart with the Song ‘Who do you love’ collaborated with French Montana. They collaborated with Steve Aoki in ‘Play it cool’ , too. They’re very Talented and Good looking , Hot, Amazing~💕.
It's weird cuz i know all of the groups and almost all songs and i'm like ohh yeah Super Junior, oh man Got7 and they're like _who dat_ haha it's like so natural to me that i forget that not everyone knows that much 😂
Can we just take a minute to think about Jonghyun (Member of Shinee) who sadly passed away in 2017 and just had his 3rd death anniversary. RIP Jonghyun. ❤
This makes me feel old in the kpop community 😂😂 there are so many kpop fans now and they're all usually new and only know recent groups so I always end up feeling old even though I'm 16
While they were shocked of when suju debuted, I was busy singing to twins🤣... Super Junior may look like in their early 20s but actually the oldest are in late 30s (born in 1983) while the youngest is in early 30s (born in 1988)
A lot of those old groups are still together. It would be awesome if you could do like a special where you react to old kpop group mvs. It could be like a throwback Thursday thing 😆 I’d watch that
Please react to some GOT7 they are incredibly talented and have so many good songs like Hard Carry, You Calling My Name, If you do, Look, Never Ever and so many more!
the strangest part about all of this is that Wanna One (the group with 100m+ views on their debut mv from 2017) has already disbanded (may they rest in piece) while TVXQ (the old ass group from 2003) is still dropping bops to this day
NCT is insane and currently consists of an overall 21 memebrs (but the number of members is ever growing) divided into 3 main sub-groups and 1 off-subgroup the 3 main ones are NCT 127 the main of the mains consists of 9 members and is based in Korea NCT dream being a group that consists of members under the age of 20 WayV being the Chinese group consists of mainly chinese members and is based in china
Guys you need to react to Bigbang they are the kings of Kpop and are making their comeback this year at Coachella, also react to Ateez pleaseeee, they are monster rookies
wanna one and i.o.i (a girl group) are from a survival program called produce 101 where 100 trainees practice and perform in hopes of making the final lineup. i.o.i had a promotion of one year and wanna one had two but they were able to create such amazing music in that short amount of time
Okay, I was waiting the whole video for VIXX to show up, and they DIDN'T, which is an absolute CRIME on the part of the video editor. VIXX debuted in the same year as EXO (2012) and they're known as the Concept Kings of Kpop because of how their music, lyrics, choreography, and overall stage performances are crafted together to tell a story or concept. They've covered everything from living voodoo dolls, to cyborgs, to Greek Mythology; they can go from a cute and bright concept to dark and creepy at the drop of a hat and nail every single vibe and aesthetic they try their hand at because of how hard they commit to every aspect of the performance. I'd definitely recommend checking out their stuff at some point, particularly Voodoo Doll, Error, or Shangri-La. Other groups I'd recommend are Astro (started out with a fun and fresh concept which got them a lot of attention, though their company has been moving them away from that with their most recent concept, much to my personal chagrin TT) and SHINee, particularly youngest member Taemin's solo work, which I think you both would be very much into, as he's considered one of the very best dancers in all of Kpop.
Most of the groups that blow up with their debut song, or very shortly after come from very big and well established companies in SK which have the publics attention as well as interest from kpop fans at the time. A few that had the same song as a debut and their breakout hit also came from popular audition programs. Groups from smaller companies almost never make it to the top ranks of kpop groups, and it is extremely rare for them to come out of the gate swinging with a hit.
Most popular doesn't mean it's recent. Some groups are still active but aren't that much popular now than their earlier years. Bigbang might be one of the few that stayed consistent of being popular throughout the years. Many artists acknowledge tgem for that.
A lot of these groups are either still continuing, disbanded, or enlistment. Korean male 28 and older have to do mandatory military service for a certain time unless they’re exempt. Kpop boy groups rarely get exempt so they enlist and come back to there groups
Seventeen consists of 13 members and they have 3 sub units of dance, rap, and vocal and they are united as one team. So if you add 13+3+1 it equals 17. They are a big group but they use it to their advantage with amazing top notch in sync choreography and they are self producing group😎. They make the dance, song and lyrics themselves. You should check them out! They are amazing 😉
If you want to see 90's kpop groups search H.O.T, SechsKies, NRG, Shinhwa, G.O.D, S.E.S, Seo Taiji and Boys etc. Seo Taiji were the first kpop group in 1991
K-pop has been a big thing in Asia since the 80s. It's as old as your Hollywood pop culture. Just because you only found out about it now, doesn't mean it didn't exist or wasn't popular before you knew about it. In Asia K-pop is a billion dollar industry and parents and grandparents also have idols they liked or like. In fact, my own parents met at a K-pop concert in the 90s. There are literally thousands of groups and you can't expect one video to encompass them all. The popularity of older K-pop was insane. It was equivalent to the popularity of k-pop now, in an age where internet and networking didn't exist. Groups like Epik high, Shinhwa, H.O.T. and g.o.d. have been together for 20 years plus and even though they're married with kids and all, they are still together. Usually, boy groups tend to have a longer lifespan than girl groups which is why most of the older groups are male. Please check them out! It's really interesting to see how they've changed and been in K-pop for decades.
Kinda funny how you said you reacted to a lot of Kpop but didn’t know most of these groups- old generation Kpop is iconic, it’s kinda sad most Kpop fans of people who listen to Kpop nowadays don’t know the history of kpop
I’ve been into Kpop since 2010 and I’ve never noticed or thought about how 2013 and the years prior was the grunge era of kpop until you guys pointed it out! It’s funny cause now that I think back to that time it’s most definitely accurate haha
Most older groups are still together, what I noticed is that groups don't disband easily in kpop unless the group looses too much fame and the company can not keep them but even then some stay strong and stay together.
just wanted to say that wanna one is a disbanded group! they debuted after participating in a survival show called produce 101 as individuals from different companies, the show is about competing against other teams in different missions and then you get eliminated one by one and then it eventually formed wanna one. they had a one year contract if im not remembering wrong, and that's why they disbanded.
That "different sounding" Kpop you speak of is the legit Kpop sounds that started it all at an international scale when people around the world began to get hooked to the genre way before BTS or even PSY blew up. 2007-2012 is known as the golden age of Kpop thanks to the likes of Wonder Girls, SNSD, KARA, 2ne1, Super Junior, TVXQ, Big Bang and Shinee. You guys really need to brush up on your Kpop, at least the most important and influential groups and their legacies.
the first kpop group was seotaiji and boys. They debuted in 1992 and disbanded in 1997. The first kpop girl group was s.e.s they debuted in 1997 and disbanded in 2001
K-Pop as we know it has been around since the 90s and has been popular in asia for a long time! and k-pop groubs have been performing all over the world. Rain (a korean solo artist) had a concert in New York as early as 2006. K-Pop has always been attracting fans from all over the world but it took until now for it to be considered "mainstream" in america, but i think it's really weird that america is the standard for it. western media likes to ignore the huge success k-pop had in the last 20-30 years

Not all of the older groups are disbanded, some are still together.
actually all 3 groups at the end still didnt disband , and many newer ones are disbanded like wanna one.
I'm sorry but you talked a lot over some videos that I can't hear what's what anymore. 😥
Shinhwa holds the record for the longest Korean running boy group in existence, being together as 6 for 22 years this year.
Like suju and Big Bang...lol .us 2 gen fans are so unlucky these days😭🥲
Super Junior looks young but they are definitely not. Leeteuk, the oldest, is 37. Even the youngest, Kyuhyun, is 32. But they act like straight up children😂
facts💀
*cough... Heechul...*cough
Yup!
oh well, Asians not raisins 😆
@@shuunknown ikr Heechul doesn't age
It is funny for me when americans so surprised that there is something popular excisting and they didn't know about this. Guys, world is a big place, and Asia is huge af. Most of k-pop groups popular specific in Asia. Meanwhile, we are not familiar with western rappers and singers, it's ok.
righttt i dont understand the shock lmao
it's mostly because americans think the rest of the world revolves around the states. I'm american, so I've definitely witnessed it lol
@@jerseygirl6221 Please don't... You just generalized a whole country, And that is enough to start a whole war in these replies... Not all English speakers are americans and not all americans are english speakers
Jersey Girl exactly
@@TheLordisKnocking They are American... Their opinion kind of has validity.
SHINee debuted in 2009 Big Bang debuted in 2006 and Suju debuted in 2005 and they’re still going strong all these years later
Shinee 2008
TVXQ 2003 too
EXOKAI'S WIFE SHINee debuted in 2008
And Shinhwa in 1998 tho
SHINee debuted the 22 de de Mayo 2008
lmao the disbelief when suju showed up.
fun fact: shinhwa is a boy group that have been together for almost 22 years so you’ll be surprised at how many of the 2nd gen groups are still together!
edit: also a lot of idols tend to debut when they’re teenagers which is probably why they look so young now (also genes).
(unnecessary) edit #2: guess it's worth mentioning that sechskies is also a group who have been together since 1997 and were last reported preparing to make comeback a couple of months ago.
I was waiting for shinhwa to show up in the video, but nooo
I like Shinhwa! Their song in 2018 helped me stay interested in kpop.
@@dariakomissarchik6731 me too! was kinda disappointed but I was happy to see groups such as tvxq, shinee and b.a.p. wish they had included sechskies too actually.
@@uncertainsubscriber4815 oh cool! was it 'kiss me like that'?
@@vocaleader2993 yes! Also "OMG" by Halo, "The Chance of Love" by TVXQ, "Thanks" by Seventeen, and "Shine" by Pentagon.
this is "most popular" as in, mostly, the song with more views on UA-cam. a lot of groups have more popular songs or more than one popular song... so if you feel like you kinda dig one group, look them up more.
also super junior, the youngest is 31 or so, I think their average age is like 35?
what I mean is, Kpop wasn't popular in UA-cam like nowadays so a lot of songs that were super popular in Korea have low view counts...
The older is 37, hahaha. And yes, YT was not popular, so the old groups don't have the real popular songs.
A lot of songs were deleted and then reuploaded on yt too
btw they shall totaly react and dig in to block b theyre kinda like bts's sibling😂
btw the leader zico is a famous soloist in korea-
Nope. Super Junior has kept the same members since debut, with three leaving recently. No one entered throughout the years.
Well Kyuhyun joined in 2006, but other than that you are right
I was so weirded out by the fact they talked though bigbang and then they straight up said they didnt know them! Man its still so weird to hear that. So many of thesound changes and fashion changes you guys mention in the video were straight up influenced by Bigbang.
I know right!!? They literally are one of the core and fundamentals of KPOP and it feels so weird to me that these guys are getting into Kpop without knowing who they are.
Like bruh i feel triggered but thats how it is. BIGBANG its iconic and mist of what kpop its now its thanks to them.
I mean most locals know kpop bc of BTS now, they're the ones that made kpop a thing in western countries
@@sally-fm5jq yeah we already know lol, that doesnt really negate our point? We werent telling them off, we were saying its just so weird the shift thats happened
Exactly. Idc,BIG BANG, EXO and BTS are the goats of kpop.
Lol everyone seems to think that bts debuted later on but no they been on this grind for 7 years haha
Hard working kings
They're unlike exo, blackpink, twice who made a big impact since debut
@@mochimarsh9745 No hate because those are all incredibly talented groups but they all came from the big three entertainment companies... So it makes sense that they would get more attention in their early days.
@@meep1869 yeah indeed. But let's not forget that they also worked hard, kudos to the groups who came from small ents but managed to climb up high
@@mochimarsh9745 Yeah definitely! I don't really listen to girl groups but I can clearly see the impact that twice and blackpink have both had! Also personally, I think that exo have some of the best vocals in kpop.
Just because the most popular was awhile ago doesn’t mean they aren’t together anymore
NCT is a whole other level of group on its own because NCT dream get older + leave the group. Usually placed in another NCT group/sub.There are multiple NCT groups so it gets a bit confusing sometimes. They even get confused lmao! But anyways...My request... NCT DREAM: BOOM + NCT 127: Regular (English) + NCT U: Boss PLEASSEEEE!!!! ^__^
ALSO, Super Junior members are in their mid/late 30s already. Lmao!!! They've been around for soooooo long!
ALSO, LOL...Shinee...one of the ones you guys liked a lot. Everything they put out: AMAZING! Unfortunately, one of the members passed away, so it might be a little sad for people that love them a lot so just thread carefully when y'all react to them. ♡✌ #Fighting
Also...EVERY older group is still together!! If I'm not mistaken.. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong please)
Also...y'all need to hop on IKON + BIGBANG real quick!! Lmao
IKON: bling bling is one of my faves
BIGBANG: Bang Bang Bang is a kpop MUST know! Lol :)
C. B. Not TVXQ they lost 3 members. But they did keep the name and are a duo now
Edit: unless you meant older than that then never mind
@@kelz86 no no..you're correct! I even forgot that :/ thank you ^_^👍
10:56 that's actually sana from twice,before she debuted
You can't miss that cute face.
It kinda hurts at 5:28when he said that 😢 because the leader is no longer part of the group but you should definitely listen to IKON their songs are amazing
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
11:22 yeh a lot of people don't know when BTS actually debuted, because they only know them from when they blew up in america.
Old fans like me are upset that people only know the hit songs ,and don't even know that they have been on stage since 2013 .... I don't hate new fans ,but they just are too annoying sometimes
@@aquariusvision8461 all new fans know their older songs and know when they debuted it's the none fans that don't know that don't be dramatic lol
@@dee560 that's not called being dramatic that's called being real
Andrijana Stamenic that’s called being delusional not real, a lot of bts’s old fans became multis and started throwing them under the bus for their other groups and that’s coming for an old army, ya’ll just hate new fans because they actually defend bts and don’t care about kpop much that’s why they’re “annoying” to you.
@@dee560 And you think that old fans are like that , you then don't know much ... I respect every group and BTS is my favorite group . I had enough ,l said " the new fans are sometimes annoying" not all the time like calm yourself and stop it like chill little bit. As a fellow Army l just want you to understand that that's my personal opinion and you don't need to respond to this. Oh yes and that's all
BTW, Super Junior are between 31 and 38 Years old 😂
B.A.P disbanded unfortunately, but they're songs are amazing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a group called PENTAGON, they're so underrated and have so many great songs. I recommend "Sha La La"(that was the outro song in the video), "Can You Feel It" , "Shine", and "Naughty Boy".
even though they have “disbanded”, they have promised to come back in the future💚💚💚💚💚💚

@@s.coupsdetat2165 Omg I knew he got hacked but all of his music videos were erased? That's so terrible! I wonder if he even knows about it, how dare someone erase his hard work.
Most older boy groups stay together, including in this video (especially because men tend to reach their visual and physical peak later in life)
it’s the females that tend to disband when they get older (especially because GP tends to move on and change their interest into the newest, hottest women)
Actually the only OG girl group that hasn’t disbanded is Girls’ Generation
BIGBANG WILL HAVE THEIR COMEBACK THIS YEAR AT COACHELLA PEOPLEEEE!!
YESSSSS 😍
YESSSS
KINGS
You should react to Shinee, they are really good❤️ you could react to Lucifer, Good evening, and Married to the music
Damn at least pause the video when you know it’s gonna be a whole convo.
MegaLuckyLeaf thank you! Sick of them missing everything
Agreed!
Exactlyyyy
When the band from 2005 is still going strong, but one of the ones from 2017 is already disbanded 😂 honestly nearly all the groups in this one are still together but it goes to show that you can never tell.
And Kpop is a little different in that members can leave and often the band will still hold together and keep going strong
BTS was NOT grunge when they came out, they were extremely hip hop based. I'm surprised it wasn't obvious lol
Someone's gotta be the villain and say it, but these reactors aren't the brightest even knowing they're ignorant of the matter, they could have had better assumptions or more logical disclosure. At least they seem very nice ^^

Can't wait for their comeback in Coachella..
I was sooo looking forward to them coming to Coachella! I was actually going to get tickets. Fingers crossed for a 2022 comeback.
Shinee is my first ever kpop love, when I saw their debut mv back in 2008 it was LOVE FOREVER
Boygroups tend to last a lot older. We have a lot of Groups that are between 10 and 20 Years old 😂
Why tho haha
Aliii Rxsa the industry is sexist and women aren’t seen as desirable or marketable to a male audience once they’re over/close to 30 but men are still considered marketable to a female audience at that age. thats why ggs tend to get less popular over time, as well as the older they get the larger the percentage of female fans vs male fans they have gets. companies are also infamous for mistreating their ggs vs their bgs, as well as the fact that bgs tend to have more dedicated female fanbases that can support them past the 7 year threshold that tends to be the end for a lot of ggs
I guess you could call me a 2nd gen stan, my introduction to Korean music was DBSK , Big Bang , BoA, Wonder Girls, Super Junior, Epik High, etc back in 2005/2006 when UA-cam was just starting up. Even back then there were plenty of people outside of Korea interested in Kpop but it was A LOT harder to find videos about the groups or the content would get claimed as copyright infringement and you wouldn’t be able to watch (especially music shows or award shows). I think a lot has changed in terms of availability these days which has helped a lot.
Same and I agree.
Bigbang and super junior are kings of kpop, and they are still together. Bigbang was in hiatus for 3 years because of their military service but they will comeback this year and they will perform at Coachella it's crazy
Can we just give a moment to appreciate the fact that so many 2nd gen groups are shown here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nina Truong they showed the most popular and there was a lot of 2 generation group that blew up
2nd gen the Golden era 😙😙
*BIGBANG* is the legend👑❤️

3 Biggest boy groups in Kpop:
1. *NCT* : NCT with all of its units and members combined has *21 members total as of 2020*
2. *Seventeen* : contrary to their name, Seventeen actually has 13 members (their saying is; 13 members + 3 units + 1 team = Seventeen)
3. *The Boyz* : The Boyz is a fairly new Kpop group who has 11 members total. They used to have 12 but Unfortunately a member named Hwall recently left due to health issues :(
Honorable mentions:
- *Wanna One* (disbanded in 2019): Wanna One had 11 members
- *X1* :X1 was actually a *very* new boy group but had to disband after only a year of activity due to scandals and controversy over how the group was formed and how the members were chosen. They had 11 members as well.
- *Super Junior* : Super Junior is technically still active but only have 7 members active out of 11 at the moment due to hiatus or military service
Super Junior debuted November 6, 2005. And still going STRONG 💙
The oldest members (Leeteuk & Heechul) were 22 (year of birth 1983)
Now they’re 37 yo. (yeah I think they’re vampires too💗)
The youngest member-maknae- (Kyuhyun) was 18 (year of birth 1988) when he debuted (he was added to super junior in 2006) he is 32 💗
replay by shinee is still one of THE best debut songs by a boy group in kpop, period.
everytime i see videos like this it makes me miss 2nd generation kpop
this person did not do their research LMFOAOAOA
They literally said within the first 30 seconds that they don't know boy groups. And they only 'stan' girlgroups.
Shady Min i’m talking about the creator of the video big brain
@@yennhiteresa then say that little brain. if i didn't understand then chances are they didn't either. they most likely get many comments like this everytime they post things like this. its probably extremely discouraging to get into kpop with these comments.
@Emanuell Eine they said in that video that they didn't know as much as they thought they did either. what did you expect? they click on these videos to learn and have fun.
Shady Min i said “this person” there’s clearly two people reacting, why are you getting pressed lmfaoooo
OMG, I love songs of Beast, Bigbang, Exo, BTOB, and BTS too. Yeah, for me it’s been already 8 years. All the songs are so good and remind me of the old days. Thanks a lot.
Bro, you guys have barely scratched the surface of Kpop! groups like Super Junior, Big Bang, TVXQ, Shinee are legends in KPOP.
Believe it or not, out of all the groups in this compilation, only B.A.P and Wanna One have officially disbanded since it was uploaded. Several of them like Block B, Infinite, TVXQ, and Shinee aren't active at the moment because members are either fousing on solo work or there are members enlisted in the military (all korean men must enlist for service for about 2 years). More boy groups overcome the "7 year curse" which is typically how long most Kpop company contracts are, than girl groups, meaning they renew their contracts with their company and continue promoting as a group rather than disbanding. So surprisingly, Super Junior is not the oldest Kpop group.
Also, not to discredit their talents or anything because they are amazing, but most of the groups who's debut "blew them up" came from large companies like SM, JYP, and YG, companies who already have other groups so when they debut a new group, other group's fans are more enticed to check them out and since they're from a famous company, people keep an eye out for their debuts.
coolgirl312 only BAP could do it without being from those 3 companies lol
@@easyhanji neither Infinite nor Block B or Nu'est are from the big 3 companies, same as BAP
Aw man, the golden era of kpop was so good (2010-2012)
Got me nostalgic, when we kpop fandoms supported each other and there was not that much toxicity
Just wanna tell that many older groups are still together, like Nu’Est, that still have comebacks ! (The last one was Love Me)
Actually Girl Groups tend to have more Members than Boy Groups 😂😂😂
Tali the 2nd Gen Kpop Addict usually but nct ahhaha
The first boy group that have so many member is Super Junior. 15 member (with SJ-M)
I love how shook they were that Super Junior debuted in 2005 lmao
I don't understand these new "kpopers" how do they not know of the most iconic bads ever ... " Kpoppers" now days only know bts, exo, black pink, twice and the claim to be the biggest "kpop fans"
B.A.P so sad that they disband, I mean their debut song is also popular because they brought a whole new concept of being the blonde group and they were known for their rap and their song concept they were always talking about the society, if only people appreciated them more, they will be popular as BTS OR EXO tho!!! They deserve it so much, truly so sad they disband 😭😭😭😭
About Super Junior age members:
15:58 "I thought they were like early 20s. "

IM DYING LMAO
Tsc... these newbies.
You should know about
Kband - Day6, N.Flying, FT Island, CN Blue, The Rose etc
YOOO THEY WERE SO SHOOK TO SEE SUPER JUNIOR IN 2005 DEBUTED 😂😂. what’s crazy to me is that even though they lost a lot of members, they’re still together AND still active. i loved super junior up until 2018 with lo siento and i slowly went away from them because like you guys said, kpop is a hard industry to debut in and there’s soloists and groups debuting left and right and it’s hard to keep up with them.
INFORMATION OF THE NCT SUBUNITS ! ( WARNING: this is a long one )
NCT 127 - making their debut on july 7 2016, nct 127 consists of 10 members: taeil, johnny, taeyong, doyoung, yuta, jaehyun, winwin, jungwoo, mark, and haechan. member winwin is currently busy promoting with wayv (i'll expand more on them later on) so he's most likely not coming back, and member jungwoo is on hiatus due to health related issues. nct 127 is one of the nct subunits that focus on catering to the korean market and one of the two that has made big moves in the western market. the "127" in nct 127 are the longitudinal coordinates of seoul which is basically them stating they're based there in seoul, south korea.
NCT U - debuting on april 9 2016, nct u is the first nct subunit. instead of having a fixed lineup of members like nct 127, nct u members switch every comeback. recently they released a christmas sounding ballad for the holidays and members present were: taeil, doyoung, jaehyun, and haechan. however past members that have been present for other comebacks are: taeyong, kun, ten, winwin, jungwoo, lucas, and mark. the "u" in nct u stands for united where some members come as one and promote for different comebacks.
NCT DREAM - nct dream was the last nct subunit to debut in 2016 on august 24 and just like nct u they are a rotational subunit. however nct dream focus on being the youthful counterpart of nct as a whole so they are basically a group of the youngest members. because they need to maintain their youthful image, once the members turn 19 they are expected to graduate and promote in other nct subunits. members that are due to graduate soon but have no official date yet are: renjun, jeno, haechan, and jaemin. leaving nct dream with just 2 members: chenle and jisung, but more are on their way (i'll expand more on that in the general nct section). mark was a previous member however on december 31 of last year he graduated.
WAYV - debuting on january 17 2019 makes them the most recent nct subunit to date. consisting of members: kun, ten, winwin, lucas, xiaojun, hendery, and yangyang, wayv is the nct subunit focused on appealing to the chinese market. all of the members except one (ten) are chinese. xiaojun, hendery, and yangyang are actually one of the more recent SM rookies (trainees under SM Entertainment).
INFORMATION ON NCT AS A WHOLE !
NCT - nct are a group formed under SM Entertainment that currently consists of 21 members (overwhelming but i'll explain an easy way to get to know them) and 4 subunits. NCT is actually abbreviated for Neo Culture Technology which basically means the amount of members is limitless, basically infinite. so as members graduate or stop promoting with certain subunits, other members join or promote.
HOW TO GET TO KNOW THEM - there are really good guides that talk about the different subunits separately, some go into all the members in depth (xiaojun, hendery, and yangyang ones may be harder to find since they're newer members), and others just give brief overviews of ALL the members. i personally learned them by unit and went from there. not to mention all the members have very unique and different personalities as well as their looks so i think it'll be relatively easy. but key is not to get stressed, it may seem overwhelming at first but it really easy.
ALL THE MEMBERS !

You guys don't know what grunge is lol grunge fashion wise is basically wearing a farmer's plaid shirt either tied around your waist or unbuttoned with a band/graphic t-shirt, ripped jeans a necklace made out of safety pins and unkempt hair, what you keep calling grunge in multiple videos is either emo or punk with goth elements.
Here are some kpop groups from the 90s and 90s kpop is 1st generation
H.O.T(BOY GROUP)-candy, we are the future, happiness
G.O.D(BOY GROUP)-observation, dear mother
S.E.S(GIRL GROUP)- love, be natural, twilight zone, I'm your girl
Sechskies(BOY GROUP)- couple, chivalry, road fighter
FINK.L(GIRL GROUP)- forever love, to my boyfriend, ruby
Shinhwa(BOY GROUP)- resolver, eusha eusha, yo, twinkling of paradise, only one, sharing forever
BABY V.O.X(GIRL GROUP)- Coincidence, killer, Xcstacy, get up
Don’t forget g.o.d
Just put them in there
surprisingly super junior are somehow still active *15 YEARS* after debut and are still a successful well selling group
Can you react to Seventeen? Also they have 13 members. They are known as The “self-producing” idols and are the only idol group with that name given by the Korean public. I suggest Fear, Change Up, Home, and Don’t Wanna Cry.
BIGBANG and SUJU are like LEGEND in KPOP.. because they've been around for more than a decade, and they are still have a big name... but the one who got KING OF KPOP is BIGBANG tho.. you will know why BIGBANG is more famous, including how they already been in international music award in 2011... and they're still blew up everytime they make a comeback.. these recent two years they havent been around since all the members going in militiary almost in the same time that make them took some hiatus, but they will be back in 2020, thats why I'm so excited... and I LOVE SUJU a lot... they are still doing music even after a decades like what I've imagine since 2009 I know them,... they've been proven that their resolution isnt weak... they are doing even great music now,... but since I love Hip hop genre a lot, thats why BIGBANG steal my heart, but I love SUJU a lot.. I even can sing almost all songs in their old album... LOL
there are 90s groups like nowdays bosses were actually artists in the 90s like YG / JYP/ SM
Dudes, u better check the king of kpop, BIGBANG 👑
React to their badass song, Bang Bang Bang 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Many Male groups like Infinite and SUJU at one point would go on hiatus as they are serving in the military.
Please react to Taemin Want and Move mv he is from the group Shinee and Big Bang Bang Bang Bang mv
ASTRO - debuted in 2016. they have 6 members and were named by Billboard as one of the best new K-pop groups of 2016. they are stiil together. my favorite song of them is "all night" and their latest comeback, Blue Flame, was released in november.
PENTAGON - debuted in 2016. they had originally 10 members, but e´dawn left the group (if you haven´t, you should check out his debut solo). They were introduced through the Mnet survival show Pentagon Maker. my favorite song of them is "shine". they are still together. also, kino is my bias.
NCT DREAM - is a nct unit. they debuted in 2016. The group follows an admission-graduation system, where they graduate from the unit after reaching the Korean age of 20. they debuted originally with 7 members. mark graduated from the group in 2018. honestly, nct are one of the most complicated groups out there, they have 21 members, and took me awhile to get used to it. they are still together.
BTOB - one of the messiest, funniest and crackheads groups out there, honestly. they debuted in 2012. they have 7 members. three of the members are doing their mandatory military service. they are still together.
B.A.P - i honestly have so much love for this group. debuted in 2012. they had 6 members. they disbanded in 2019. they had a lot of problems with their company, because TS Entertainment is trash. it was reported that the group had filed a lawsuit against their label to nullify their contract, claiming unfair working conditions and profit distribution, including statements claiming that of the US$9 million the group had earned over the three years, each member had been paid a total of US$18,000. However, the following day, TS Entertainment issued a press release refuting the claims made, stating that there were "neither such maltreatment to the artists nor unfair clauses in the contract.” Their statements were challenged when B.A.P released another statement claiming lack of accountability and saying that they were considering filing for defamation of character. In 2018, members Yongguk and Zelo left the group after their contract with TS Entertainment expired. On February 18, 2019 the remaining four members also left TS Entertainment. However, member Jongup confirmed the possibility of reunion in the future. Also, you should check their solo activities. by the way yongguk is my bias.
BLOCK B - debuted in 2011. they have 7 members. they also had a lot of problems with the agengy. Block B members, "During the signing of the exclusive contract, it was promised that in addition to providing proper training opportunity and facilities, we would be paid on every 25th of the following month…However, the agency has not paid us for nearly one year since April 2011."[12] (It's not clear whether it is 2011 or 2012 since the quote in the article states that it is nearly a year, but April 2011 would be well over a year). "It started last year in March when one member's contract was ended and his portion of the pay was calculated. appearance fees from events as well as pay from SBS drama 'Phantom's OST, MBC drama 'Golden Time' OST, and funds collected from the inauguration of our Japanese fan site's fan club, and more for a total of 10 things, have been omitted." They added, "The CEO of the agency, Mr. Lee, has also disappeared with the 70,000,000 KRW (~66,000 USD) that he collected from the members' parents." On May 20, 2013, it was reported that Mr. Lee had committed suicide. they left the company, and joined anther one, as a group.Most of them are doing their mandatory military service. you shold also check their solo activities.
IKON - this group deverved so much better. they would be so big right now if it wasn´t for tehir shitty company (yg entertainment). debuted in 2015. The group was first introduced in the reality survival program WIN: Who is Next as "Team B". After that, Team B went on to appear in the 2014 reality survival program Mix & Match, which determined the final seven-member lineup of iKon. B.I announced his departure from the group on his personal Instagram account after news agency Dispatch unearthed KakaoTalk messages from three years prior, outlining his attempt to purchase marijuana and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) from an undisclosed female dealer. He was also accused of evading police charges. they are still together.
NU´EST - debuted in 2012. they have 5 members. one of the members was part of the group wanna one. (i don´t know much about them sorry)
BEAST/HIGHLIGHT - they debuted in 2009. they have 4 members. they changed the name of the group, because they changed labels. Beast initially received attention for the lack of industry success previously experienced by its members, with media outlets referring to them as "a group of recycled material." Junhyung announced his departure from Highlight after he admitted to watching illegal videos sent to him by singer Jung Joon-young, who is under investigation for secretly filming women during sex. (there was a huge scandal about this last year). they are still together.
INFINITE - a crackhead group. debuted in 2010. they have 6 members. most of the members are doing their mandatory military service.
WINNER - debuted in 2013 through reality survival program WIN: Who Is Next. they have 4 members. they are still together. if you haven´t, you should check out their solo activities.
NCT U - subunit of nct. debuted in 2016. they have 6 members. nut they keep adding members according to their songs. they said on a korean show, Weekly Idol, that the theme of the sub unit consists of having members that fits in each song the best. (don´t know if that makes sense). they are still together.
MONSTA X - you said you´ve heard about them before, so there´s not much to say, but last year, one of the members left the group, wonho, departed following recent allegations, and that the company intends to "hold legal liability" for "malicious and distorted claims" about him. Fans have since shown their support for both Wonho and the group, expressing their disapproval and requesting Starship that he be reinstated back into the group. which made me reaaly sad, because he was my bias.
SEVENTEEN - you´ve heard of them, so there not much to say. but they known as the choreography kings. my favorite song of them is "clap". they have 13 members.
WANNA ONE - i´m not a fan of wanna one. i don´t usually stan groups that were appart of reality shows, because they always end up disbanding.
NCT 127 - nct sub unit. debuted in 2016. they have 10 members. Their name is a combination of the acronym for Neo Culture Technology which is their meaning for their unlimited members, and the number 127, which represents the longitudinal coordinate of Seoul. my bias is jungwoo.
GOT7 - my ult group. debuted in 2014. they have 7 members. my bias is jaebum (JB) and my favorite song is "Face".
BTS - everyone knows about them. my favorite song of them is "Let Me Know".
EXO- the vocal kings. my favorite song of them is "Miracles in December" and "Universe".
SHINEE - this group deserves so much love. debuted in 2008. they called the princes of kpop. they originally a 5 mebers group, but jonghyun died in 2017 (RIP).
2PM - debuted in 2018. originally 7 members. one of the members, jay park, left the group articles surfaced on the internet regarding Jaebeom's posts from 2005 on his personal Myspace account, in which he expressed his dislike for Korea while still a trainee for JYP Entertainment. Jaebeom issued an apology regarding this matter. Although some demanded that Jaebeom should be forced out of 2PM, JYP Entertainment CEO Park Jin-young stated lent the singer a vote of confidence, suggesting that he would remain in the group. Yet the following day, Jaebeom announced on his official fancafe that he would leave the group and return to the United States for a while to calm the situation. He planned to return to school and improve his understanding of music. At the same time, he apologized to his fellow band members for not being a good leader and older brother for them. He also promised to come back as a better person. they disbanded in 2016. you should also check out jay park solo activities (he´s owns 2 companies right now)
SUPER JUNIOR - a crackhead group. debuted in 2005. originally 13 members. they were divided in smaller groups, simultaneously targeting different music industries and audiences. Individually, the members have also branched out into hosting, presenting and acting, and their successes and popularity as all-rounded entertainers have led other Korean entertainment managements to also begin training their music groups in other aspects of the entertainment industry. as of last year, they have 9 active members. Super Junior was the best-selling K-pop artist for four years in a row. they are still together.
BIG BANG - the kings of kpop. debuted in 2006. originally 5 member group, seungri announced his retirement from the entertainment industry due to scandals surrounding the Burning Sun nightclub, resulting in his departure from Big Bang. they are going to perform this year at coachella. they are still together. all of the members completed their mandatory military service.
TVXQ - Their name roughly translates to "Rising Gods of the East". they debuted in 2003. they were a 5 member group. now, just 2 of them. TVXQ have become one of Asia's most successful music acts of their generation. They are often referred to as "Asia's Stars" and the "Kings of K-pop" and are also Japan's best-selling foreign artist in CD singles of all time and Billboard has described the group as "K-pop royalty". they are still together.
It was funny because when they showed beast I was like “if they show highlight too these dudes won’t even notice” 😂 but they didn’t
Yeah, I wish both beast and highlight were in the vid. 🤣 ... And FICTION is such an amazing song and MV. 💜
Lol “i thought super junior were all in their early 20s” they’re actually pretty much all in their early 30s hahah
React to bigbang kings of kpop. Everyone's rolemodels.idols of idols most powerful celebrities in Korea
Dang now I need to go back to my old school days and listen to TVXQ. I remember I was getting ready to go to high school around that time (shoot I probably was in high school most likely) when I discovered TVXQ and BoA and by 2007 I venture more into kpop
Most of the older groups are still together 😁 Like BigBang, TVXQ, Super Junior, SHINee, BTOB etc. I recommend y'all listen to Super Junior - Sorry Sorry! There's also an R&B version that is amazing that showcases their vocals. It's called Sorry Sorry (Answer).
I also wanna recommend SHINee because they're honestly one of the best groups in kpop. Thanks for the reaction 💜
i love your dp ❣
@@zaraabid1532 Thank you❤️
@@pstvtycrnr99 you are welcome😊
You should react MonstaX~!! ‘Alligator’, ‘Hero’, ‘Dramarama’, ‘Fighter’, ‘Play it Cool’... They’re the first kpop group attended in Jingle Ball Con. 2018, 2019. And ‘ I heart Music Festival’ in Las Vegas in 2019 summer. They entered Grammy Main Chart with the Song ‘Who do you love’ collaborated with French Montana. They collaborated with Steve Aoki in ‘Play it cool’ , too. They’re very Talented and Good looking , Hot, Amazing~💕.
It's weird cuz i know all of the groups and almost all songs and i'm like ohh yeah Super Junior, oh man Got7 and they're like _who dat_ haha it's like so natural to me that i forget that not everyone knows that much 😂
Can we just take a minute to think about Jonghyun (Member of Shinee) who sadly passed away in 2017 and just had his 3rd death anniversary. RIP Jonghyun. ❤
That outro song of the video was "Sha la la" by Pentagon, but they were having a Wanna One video playing in the background.
This makes me feel old in the kpop community 😂😂 there are so many kpop fans now and they're all usually new and only know recent groups so I always end up feeling old even though I'm 16
While they were shocked of when suju debuted, I was busy singing to twins🤣... Super Junior may look like in their early 20s but actually the oldest are in late 30s (born in 1983) while the youngest is in early 30s (born in 1988)
Suju debuted before I was born. So the whole time I've been born, suju has remained a group......wow
A lot of those old groups are still together. It would be awesome if you could do like a special where you react to old kpop group mvs. It could be like a throwback Thursday thing 😆 I’d watch that
Please react to some GOT7 they are incredibly talented and have so many good songs like Hard Carry, You Calling My Name, If you do, Look, Never Ever and so many more!
the strangest part about all of this is that Wanna One (the group with 100m+ views on their debut mv from 2017) has already disbanded (may they rest in piece) while TVXQ (the old ass group from 2003) is still dropping bops to this day
NCT is insane and currently consists of an overall 21 memebrs (but the number of members is ever growing) divided into 3 main sub-groups and 1 off-subgroup
the 3 main ones are
NCT 127 the main of the mains consists of 9 members and is based in Korea
NCT dream being a group that consists of members under the age of 20
WayV being the Chinese group consists of mainly chinese members and is based in china
Lol all of super junior is literally over 30 yrs old, the oldest being 36 I think
Guys you need to react to Bigbang they are the kings of Kpop and are making their comeback this year at Coachella, also react to Ateez pleaseeee, they are monster rookies
Yesss! Big Bang reaction would be amazing
Kings of kpop? They are kings of criminals lol
@@nctzenie stay pressed. 😘🤣
Ly Alves Maybe do research?
SHINEE is a group that can't be repeated 🤦🏻♀️💚💚💚💚
wanna one and i.o.i (a girl group) are from a survival program called produce 101 where 100 trainees practice and perform in hopes of making the final lineup. i.o.i had a promotion of one year and wanna one had two but they were able to create such amazing music in that short amount of time
Okay, I was waiting the whole video for VIXX to show up, and they DIDN'T, which is an absolute CRIME on the part of the video editor. VIXX debuted in the same year as EXO (2012) and they're known as the Concept Kings of Kpop because of how their music, lyrics, choreography, and overall stage performances are crafted together to tell a story or concept. They've covered everything from living voodoo dolls, to cyborgs, to Greek Mythology; they can go from a cute and bright concept to dark and creepy at the drop of a hat and nail every single vibe and aesthetic they try their hand at because of how hard they commit to every aspect of the performance. I'd definitely recommend checking out their stuff at some point, particularly Voodoo Doll, Error, or Shangri-La.
Other groups I'd recommend are Astro (started out with a fun and fresh concept which got them a lot of attention, though their company has been moving them away from that with their most recent concept, much to my personal chagrin TT) and SHINee, particularly youngest member Taemin's solo work, which I think you both would be very much into, as he's considered one of the very best dancers in all of Kpop.
10:48 The girl that they are following is actually Sana from the group Twice🍭
boy groups tend to last longer tbh
Most of the groups that blow up with their debut song, or very shortly after come from very big and well established companies in SK which have the publics attention as well as interest from kpop fans at the time. A few that had the same song as a debut and their breakout hit also came from popular audition programs. Groups from smaller companies almost never make it to the top ranks of kpop groups, and it is extremely rare for them to come out of the gate swinging with a hit.
"BTS got big in america around 2017" that doesnt mean they debuted at that time.......... americans thinking the whole world goes around them
Super Junior💙💙💙... yeahhhh their 2005 debut😊😊😊😚😚.....
They look young😄😄😄😄
Most popular doesn't mean it's recent. Some groups are still active but aren't that much popular now than their earlier years. Bigbang might be one of the few that stayed consistent of being popular throughout the years. Many artists acknowledge tgem for that.
People be acting like kpop became a thing recently when it's been around since the 90s LMAO
A lot of these groups are either still continuing, disbanded, or enlistment. Korean male 28 and older have to do mandatory military service for a certain time unless they’re exempt. Kpop boy groups rarely get exempt so they enlist and come back to there groups
Seventeen consists of 13 members and they have 3 sub units of dance, rap, and vocal and they are united as one team. So if you add 13+3+1 it equals 17. They are a big group but they use it to their advantage with amazing top notch in sync choreography and they are self producing group😎. They make the dance, song and lyrics themselves. You should check them out! They are amazing 😉
Got7 never ever, look and lullaby reaction please. Also nct 7th sense, regular and boss reaction.
If you want to see 90's kpop groups search H.O.T, SechsKies, NRG, Shinhwa, G.O.D, S.E.S, Seo Taiji and Boys etc. Seo Taiji were the first kpop group in 1991
K-pop has been a big thing in Asia since the 80s. It's as old as your Hollywood pop culture. Just because you only found out about it now, doesn't mean it didn't exist or wasn't popular before you knew about it.
In Asia K-pop is a billion dollar industry and parents and grandparents also have idols they liked or like. In fact, my own parents met at a K-pop concert in the 90s. There are literally thousands of groups and you can't expect one video to encompass them all. The popularity of older K-pop was insane. It was equivalent to the popularity of k-pop now, in an age where internet and networking didn't exist.
Groups like Epik high, Shinhwa, H.O.T. and g.o.d. have been together for 20 years plus and even though they're married with kids and all, they are still together. Usually, boy groups tend to have a longer lifespan than girl groups which is why most of the older groups are male. Please check them out! It's really interesting to see how they've changed and been in K-pop for decades.
Kinda funny how you said you reacted to a lot of Kpop but didn’t know most of these groups- old generation Kpop is iconic, it’s kinda sad most Kpop fans of people who listen to Kpop nowadays don’t know the history of kpop
A lot of the older groups are still together, like shinee and super junior! please react to shineei think you'd love their most recent songs
9:23 I'm hearing Hoshi arguing about that 😂😂😂
I’ve been into Kpop since 2010 and I’ve never noticed or thought about how 2013 and the years prior was the grunge era of kpop until you guys pointed it out! It’s funny cause now that I think back to that time it’s most definitely accurate haha
Most older groups are still together, what I noticed is that groups don't disband easily in kpop unless the group looses too much fame and the company can not keep them but even then some stay strong and stay together.
That’s sad that there’s not Shinhwa, they’re still together and they debut in 1998
Tvxq is still together so they have been together for almost 16 years!
just wanted to say that wanna one is a disbanded group! they debuted after participating in a survival show called produce 101 as individuals from different companies, the show is about competing against other teams in different missions and then you get eliminated one by one and then it eventually formed wanna one. they had a one year contract if im not remembering wrong, and that's why they disbanded.
That "different sounding" Kpop you speak of is the legit Kpop sounds that started it all at an international scale when people around the world began to get hooked to the genre way before BTS or even PSY blew up. 2007-2012 is known as the golden age of Kpop thanks to the likes of Wonder Girls, SNSD, KARA, 2ne1, Super Junior, TVXQ, Big Bang and Shinee. You guys really need to brush up on your Kpop, at least the most important and influential groups and their legacies.
the first kpop group was seotaiji and boys. They debuted in 1992 and disbanded in 1997. The first kpop girl group was s.e.s they debuted in 1997 and disbanded in 2001
K-Pop as we know it has been around since the 90s and has been popular in asia for a long time! and k-pop groubs have been performing all over the world. Rain (a korean solo artist) had a concert in New York as early as 2006. K-Pop has always been attracting fans from all over the world but it took until now for it to be considered "mainstream" in america, but i think it's really weird that america is the standard for it. western media likes to ignore the huge success k-pop had in the last 20-30 years
MORE BLOCK B AND SHINEE!
