I don't think people understand how big IU is in Korea. She's the only person that could make Koreans ranging from teens to elders go crazy . She also single handedly can compete with BTS on Korean charts. I once asked a few of my Korean friends and also my Korean teachers to pick between IU and BTS and they were super divided but lastly they went for IU. Literally couldn't stop mentioning, talking or praising her whenever K-pop is the topic 😂

[@lauriegonzalez2374]

Well she is one of the few solo singers who can win in music contests against any k-pop group...hahahaha

[@sua421]

True tho I love IU so much cannot compare between the two because they have their own charms and sounds.

[@peculiarrandom685]

Queen IU ❤❤❤

[@treubaking]

Of course IU is popular.. but she didn’t physically change anything in history..

[@aspyn6332]

​@treubaking Isn't it that nothing has changed in AMERICA? Actually, In Korea, only Seo Taiji and the boys are called idols who have changed history. All artists are amazing in their own right

[@현규허-g7c]

I am 67 years old Korean. Before Seotaiji ,we listened Korean music and also all western music such as MJ, Beatles, Abba, ,Madona etc., so i think all kind of world music are saturated in nowadays' Kpop. Seotaiji's music came out, it wasn't same as those days' existing Kpop and also I felt it was different from Western music.So much sensational, I think Seotaiji gave inspirations to many musicians in Korea, catalysts to produce better music.It's just my opinion.

Gotta give it to EXO for opening up the third generation, so proud of our boys. It's necessary to know who started what and know the history better for everyone instead of focusing only on one group just cos they happen to know them. So glad you did this video. One particular group can never define K-pop ever. K-pop is a journey and growth.

[@EnHaTaN]

wtf. what do you say? who opening up? exo? for what? even for exo paved the way it's big bang. stfu legend always legend

[@gurleenkaur7028]

You should definitely watch collaboration of seo Taiji with BTS in his live concert where he feels so proud of bts .

[@robwebnoid5763]

Seo Taiji is highly important to KPop. There is no KPop without him. BTS would not have existed. I hope you can react to Seo Taiji music one of these days. You could first try his "Feel The Soul" music video. And then maybe "Classroom Idea" with BTS from 2017 Time Traveler 25 concert. Anyway, will await your video tonight.

[@lizethqp2258]

and how important it is that SEO TAIJI pass the baton to BTS.... like he literally said "this is your generation". Its really meant to be

[@robwebnoid5763]

​@@lizethqp2258 ... Yes, I've commented on Seo passing the virtual torch & mantle to BTS in other past comments around KZbin. One good reason for this is not just because of BTS' huge global popularity & financial successes, surpassing over all other KPop acts in the last 3 decades, but also injecting socio-political commentary in their songs, which Seo had also done during his time in the early 1990's & also even back during his songs around the time of Y2k, sometimes to the point of censorship not just for political commentary but also for their looks. Seo is also sometimes lightly poked fun of as being a "vampire", because he still kinda looks the same even after 30-35 years. :)

[@angelinna9698]

@TIME???

[@BlackSwan.1984]

[@shaholic91]

Unfortunately, EXO never have the opportunity to promote to western, as their part of marketing strategy is only promote to SK, China, and Japan. They have fans from other countries (besides those 3) is only a bonus..

[@yayaya8690]

They've a lot of opportunities but SM wasted it all. Bet they really regret it now. For me it's okay, less toxic ppl and popularity don't last forever anyways. Only true fans stay with them and not to mention exo have a really loyal fanbase, so we're good

[@shaholic91]

@@yayaya8690 yeah I know some western artists for example want to collab with them, but SM always refuse it, and I think SM does that to exo because they want to strict to their exo's marketing strategy. And yeah SM is wasting the opportunity, but the good thing is, Exo member doesn't have too much exposure from global/western media, and they can live happily and enjoy their life now..

funny how Ailee wasn't even mentioned when she won all rookie of the year/new female artist awards on the year of her debut. Beating Psy's Gangnam style winning streak in MuBank in her rookie year(2012). Attended Grammy's a year after her debut (2013) and performed in the pre-grammy party. and let me add she's the only female soloist who won Best Vocal Performance award for 4 years in a row.

I was 20's when Seo Taiji appeared and I've been an eye witness those musical history from the beginning wow, it was a long journey, now I know Seo Taiji is not only the father of K-pop but the alpha and omega of K-pop.

[@hmmoknessa]

Ahh To learn more about Kpop as a whole and goes in depth I would recommend “You’re wrong about Kpop: a video essay” by bby gang!! His videos are always very informative and well researched. He goes in deep and gives you a new perspective!! He’s very underrated and I think you will enjoy his content!!!!!

[@lemontea417]

would recommend his channel!! he's always so well researched

[@DulcisAbsentia]

BIGBANG is literally the GODFATHER of Kpop, they invented and introduced so many things like : idols self-producing (this totally changed the bad perception that Koreans had of idols), 2 tone rappers (one low and one high), mini-albums, lightsticks (fans used banners or balloons before), colorful hairstyles (there were only brown,white and black at that time), USB album, they were the 1st who wore sponsored high named brands, all 5 members had successful solo careers and more. If you want to get into kpop, BIGBANG is a must or else you can’t consider yourself knowing kpop.

[@NerdyQueen1234]

Lee Soo Man the man who created SM Entertainment really based it off Motown like the whole system the training and the songs.

[@NerdyQueen1234]

@TIME Motown didn't have a system but they did train they were taught to dance and have etiquette. They were taught how to dress and how to talk to the media. Barry Gordy made sure they had these things. Much like how SM Entertainment does for idols and other kpop companies too

[@mtmrnytenjtym2977]

Lee Soo-man referred to some of the USA and Japan's entertainment, but the biggest motivation was Seo Taiji boys. That's what Lee Soo-man himself said in a radio interview in 1998. I can say exactly because I lived in that era.

[@bro_ujinsoo]

As a 43 years old Korean, below is the biggest name of K-pop idol that I think and the reason why: 1. Seotaiji: introduced hip-hop, hip-hop based dance and rap in early 1990's of Korea. YG was one of the members of Seotaiji group. 2. H.O.T: Most of K-pop idol culture was generated by H.O.T. ex) Large Group of boy or girl who all good at dance, huge fan base by crazy young children, idol training system and etc. SM became a major entertainment company by success of H.O.T. 3. BoA: the first K-pop artist who became a super star in foreign country (Japan) 4. Rain: the first K-pop artist who become a super star in general Asia (Japan, China, Hong-Kong, Taiwan and SE Asia). JYP became a big entertainment company by success of Rain. 5. TVXQ: SM's super success in global (but, disbanded early due to the dispute between the members and SM. if not disbanded that early, must have been super super global star.) 6. BIGBANG: Super global star, Start of YG's famous producer Teddy's success (but, they also caused sudden collapse of YG, because V.I., one of the BIGBANG's members, was related with drugs, sexual harrassment and other dirty stuffs and caused himself and people around him got into the jail) 7. 2NE1: Start of different syle of girl group (A.K.A girl crush) 8. Psy: Introduced K-pop to North America (before him, K-pop was popular mostly in Asian country) 9. Blackpink: Take K-pop to the level of entire world truly 10. BTS: Become regendary. No need to mention. Small company, BigHit(now, HIVE), came out of nowhere, suddenly became the biggest company in K-pop industry. I know there are many other big names such as EXO, SuperJunior, Kara, Shinee, Girls Generation, TWICE and etc,... but those are not compatible with the above in terms of influence into the K-pop history.

I was very far from the Kpop world before BTS blew up. The only Kpop i ever heard of was PSY and EXO. They were the only two names I would ever hear from news/ ppl in my college. I was into Kdramas and EXO would be mentioned at least once in any show I would watch and it was like everywhere. Cut to 5 yrs later in 2019 & BTS is everywhere. And I am wondering wow. This is insane. Another massive band? How many Kpop acts are there? What a weird thought now that I know exo & BTS are just 2 out of hundreds and hundreds. It’s shocking how big K-pop is once you start deep diving into it. And how many more artist/groups have been around. I live at the fringes of this world so I don’t know in detail about it, but mind blowing how saturated the Kpop market is with talent & hard work. And good music.

[@allysonwolf5721]

Super junior, shinee and 2pm are the groups that got me into kpop and I am only 26 now they made my passion for kpop grow and I got into so many other groups after that like exo, infinite and still like groups we have today like Monsta x who I am seeing in concert in June 😁😁😁😁

Seotaiji and boys was with that yg ceo before. But he passed the torch to bts and told them “it’s your generation now” he chose bts to remake his song and performed with bts during his 25th yr anniversary concert and not a group from his former group member yg ceo (idk his name sorry😅) anyway, Legends know who to support and seotaiji know he is correct with choosing bts.

[@alinac6068]

@@its_ughlyssa , lol you didn’t need to mention another group by name when it’s obvious what group you were referring to. You could have just said BTS were chosen by Seotaiji as their successor and leave it like that. By saying that Seotaiji choose BTS instead of the group that YG, an ex-member of his group, created it’s more than clear that it was a dig at BB. It was you implying that BB aren’t good enough for Seotaiji to name them as their successor. It’s common for armys to put BB down when it’s about BTS. “Legends know who to chose “ that’s what you said. That’s a clear dig. Don’t insult my intelligence by acting clueless. When you take a dig at someone you should at least own up to it.

Yeah I know! but I mean, they're both kings in different generation.

Whoever made this video was a bit biased towards the end since people including other K-pop groups had covered those topics in their music before BTS… And SM has done something similar to SuperM before with MaxStep

[@ddalgihope]

one thing they didn't said in the video was that SM brought 3 different things to kpop in one group: the first non-Korean idol, the first group with more than 6 people, and the first group to have a sub-unit. the group was super junior, which debuted in 2005 with 12 members (over time, more members were added to the group, giving a total of 15). one of the members is Chinese (with the addition of the other members, another Chinese and a Canadian joined the group), and the first kpop sub-unit was Super Junior - K.R.Y.

As for EXO, they did the same. Their activities were suspended due to the recruitment of members. They were serving in the army.

To tell you now, Seo Taiji is the most important person when talking about modern K-pop. and without him, there might not be current K-pop. Seo Taiji made the big bang of modern k-pop. Seo Taiji was not an idol(self producing musician), but he was the role model of all 1st generation Korean idols that started with SM Lee Soo-man. There is a saying in Korea.

SM is an amazing company that's why kpop is still around today thanks to the influence of SM entertainment too, the company always puts out amazing groups especially EXO They are kings ❤🐣

[@fightwoman]

SM always wants every single agency to survive..

[@ruthfischer7615]

@@fightwoman ... that was sarcasm, right? SM is known for it's micromanaging and the lack of mental health care for their Idols. Probably also the basis for every "The Dark Side of KPOP" ever. Unfortuanetly.

[@oktarinharlina7241]

Pls Reaction concert EXO - Peterpan, xoxo, lucky, 365.

[@HalzeyLover]

yg the ceo of blackpink and bigbang is memeber of seo taiji and boys

[@Anne-kt5of]

waiting for my bangtan boys💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@mollydelacy9007]

First time I heard a TVXQ was from fast in the furious Tokyo drift movie with song Rising Sun.

[@jay-7379]

I really like how in depth it gets into the first 2 generations. I just wish it didn't skim over the 3rd so fast. Especially the Girl group trinity. Felt really rushed.

[@windboy]

It actually missed a lot from the 1st gen. It is a 20 min video so it's missing a ton of relevant information from each gen(minus the BTS section).

[@kevinlee1414]

thank you guys for video, and i'd like to recommend you some '80s legendary k-pop singers(left out in the video), below 1. [고화질] 김완선 KIMWANSUN 팩스뮤지카 - 리듬속의 그 춤을 2.[1988] 박남정 - 널 그리며 3.[1988] 30년의 역사를 도도하게 관통하는 명곡 응원가 무한궤도 - 그대에게

[@user-gg8zz9zg9z]

I am proud of exo! Love you boys💜

[@op7732]

Bigbang is the kings of kpop

[@zakkiyyabts7]

I haven't been able to watch barely any history of kpop the only thing I seen was rise of bangtan and is bts kpop or boyband I believe that's title so this first time watching these but I want to watch more I feel guilty not during deeper dive so i hope not late to learn

[@Asian_Ent]

For a mixed group, you guys should definitely check out KARD

[@JennieKim-le3yj]

So glad y'all checked this out! If you want to know more about the Kpop industry and how brutal it is, I suggest watching, "Exposing the Dark Side of Kpop..." by Project Nightfall. There are also more dark sides of Kpop vids if anyone else wants to recommend those.

[@kimyoung3160]

if you do watch it then please keep in mind that not all agencies are like that. a lot are but not all still hard to watch though.. in rise of bangtan chapter 1 it also explains it.. it also has interviews with Jenny, Lisa, Wei fróm crayon pop and other idols.. it also has clips of the actual training

[@yoo_nana8323]

I don't understand why some fans insisted that their fav are the one who paved the way for kpop to be known worldwide when its clearly PSY name is on the chart first..... I know imma be getting mad for this but who ever came to me is triggered 🤣

[@lauriegonzalez2374]

You certainly have to check about Rain...even now he is such a great dancer!he makes youtube videos and sometimes he meets new k-pop groups and he dances with them...he takes a lot of attention about is health,his body...he is over 40 but quite healthy..hahahaha

[@elizamarz7607]

Rain, Crush, Fx, Mamamoo, Girls Generation the choice is endless, have Fun 💜

[@elizamarz7607]

Loved this reaction. Seen a few and you always hit the mark. New sub looking forward to more 💜

[@kimyoung3160]

did you already react to bts cover of perfect man by Shinwa and Come back home by Seo Taiji and boys and Rainism by Rain?

[@teebeee5832]

please react to how bts paved the way by bbygangmag and bts : more than kpop by bbygangmag

[@ggilangramadhan9111]

bigbang make upgrade in kpop.. i think they one of reason why kpop so big now..

[@bellcharmender]

You should react to Seo Taiji 25th anniversary concert. Bts were there and they perform together

[@taeyongscheeks]

Just for me to explain the generations better : 1st gen - 90s- to 2000s 2nd gen - 2000s to 2012/13 3rd gen - 2012/13 to 2017 4th gen - 2017 to 2022 Now is 5th gen - 2023 to present mot likely to 2026/27 Some groups that debuted around the beginning of gens are considered "building stones". For 4th gen I would say it started around the time THE BOYZ debuted. But calling them 3rd gen is ok. Some consider every group that debuted in 2017 still 3rd gen. Every group that debuted last year is already 5th gen. Not so sure on 2nd gen tho. But 3rd gen started with EXO. I personally love SM groups and the music SM makes but not the Entertainment itself. I recommend ALL SM groups and their music.

[@carmelafernandez1587]

You can check out IU and Suga’s collaboration. Its a very good one. Being a kpop idol has its low as some took their own life and IU and Suga’s song is about them.

[@carmelafernandez1587]

Its called Eight and got an explanation video from DKTV as well

[@psphunter174]

Im here to comment that yall look so cuddly😆

[@bogardterry8513]

Yoo Seung Jun is a legendary K-pop singer if he didn't get buried in Korea. It's sad that he didn't introduce himself. He was loved by the people

[@빈젠조]

Mmmmm my fav trio reactors is finally here✨✨

[@jhopeyeonjunwoosanhyunlix4238]

I'm always so proud of my Bangtan boys💜💜💜They'll always be my no.1 until i die😇💜💜💜💜

[@kimyoung3160]

did you know a few years ago Seo Taiji literally passed the torch to RM / BTS?

[@rumi1379]

There are KZbin documentary series about history of Kpop much better and the artists themselves are in the video

[@MeryaniDalidaBaggashi]
