ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL KPOP SONGS EVER?! | Girls Generation - I Got A Boy MV (REACTION)

[@mcneeeeeil]

This MV marks the beginning of colourful era of kpop especially in gg videos. The colours in the MVs get super saturated and bright. There's so much neon and multicolour geometric print in the styling. They set out to overwhelm your eyes in every MV.

[@infinitelocke]

They set the trend!

[@lunarsoulz]

SNSD is not as massive as they once were but why they will always be legends is because of their longevity. They are close to their 15 year anniversary, and their popularity remains high and their fanbase is still strong. SNSD members are still very visible and active in Korea and Asia. Most popular groups will struggle to even make it to 7 years. Their longevity to last this long despite all the issues over the years, is special, and unheard of. They continue to be role models for aspiring Idols, their songs continue to be benchmarks for Kpop. People just cant forget them.

[@infinitelocke]

True Icons! I knew the members as actresses before I knew they were idols lol that’s shows you just how talented they are at everything!

[@TimelessGap2]

Only because they're not promoting together but everything they do is a hit in their solo projects. Some making/breaking music records while the other viewers record for their dramas, movies or variety shows appearances. Snsd is just as big in my opinion. They will be bigger with a comeback cause that's what the world need. The fans are still here and that's why they are successful in all areas outside of Girls' Generation/SNSD. The name is constantly being used in just about every program today. The name just have to mentioned and it becomes a trend. They were recently trending this week because two members commented the other page. They arw always on the female group monthly ranking. Some of them even when doesn't have an activity.

[@soundsgood4949]

So true. I've seen two Korean dramas very recently, one that came out pretty recently and one that is going on currently, that have scenes in karaoke rooms where the characters go nuts over Girls' Generation songs. :)

[@fabricemaire4433]

yes they're still very popular because many of them are still very active , we can see TAEYEON every saturday night on main event show , YURI she's a mentor in TEENAGE GIRLS survival show ,SUNNY often on variety show , YOONA do a lot of drama , HYO and TAEYEON debut in GOT with the AESPA and RED VELVET girls , TIFFANY and JESSICA do music in america , and SOOYOUNG do a lot of modeling and commercial , they meet each other often , and we know than one day or another they will comeback as a group not full group but the OGG version .

[@infinitelocke]

Can’t wait to see them come back! I love them as actresses too!

[@fabricemaire4433]

@@infinitelocke yes half of them are also actress even if for sure the most popular and praise is YOONA . the last drama i see with her is K2

Girls Generation has like the actress Line, Sooyoung, Yuri, Yoona and Seohyun which pretty much they are sought after in South Korea and won awards.

[@kimnavarro1995]

When it comes to setting the standard and trend SNSD have it all. Original as it best and forever K-pop legendary Girl group. The first experimental song in K-pop that was named as K-pop Bohemian Rhapsody and the start of colorful Mv with amazing camera shoot after all it's SM they don't disappoint. This mv also won KZbin video of the year beating popular artist like Bieber and lady gaga with total of 3 million votes over western artist with thousands of vote.

[@infinitelocke]

Wow I didn’t know they won that award! That’s amazing!

[@RudeMekanicals]

This song came on my radar because people were calling it the K-Pop Bohemian Rhapsody, and I wasn't disappointed. It's full of little bits of genius, like the line ''Let's bring it back to 140'' referring to both 140 bpm AND 1:40 in the song where the original switchup happened. A real classic! And the only reason this fashion works for the girls is because they own it and don't apologize for it! PS: there's footage out there of Weeekly doing a karaoke cover of this song on a variety show and it is soooo precious!

[@infinitelocke]

Yeah they were fierce! They pulled off the fashion perfectly!

[@SoneCakes]

Nothing beats the Originals for me. Yes theyre Dope!

[@infinitelocke]

Icons!

[@girlsgenerationlittlemixbl7781]

Sones really really appreciate how you can name almost all members of SNSD. most Reactors now, be like mixing up their names and it's so frustrating sometimes. They are literally The Nation's Girl Group and the Ultimate Kpop Queens. Way before Reactors come into place, GG was there already. So We thank you so much. With regards to Jess and other girls, We sones believe in their friendship. There must be some contract where SNSD members should not mention Jess in the media that is why they always avoid that topic but we know how special their bond is not just as bandmates but as sisters. As a sone for more than 10 years now, I can tell how genuine their friendship is. One thing is for sure, Jessica and the rest of the girls are in a happier field now. We still hope for ot9 tho, ot8 is always forever as mentioned by the members themselves even after leaving SM. One day, for sure they'll rock the stage once again.

[@infinitelocke]

You’re welcome! No problem! They are legends for sure! I hope they all do a farewell tour or something one day!

[@milindawilson9175]

Fun fact: The MV for Girls' Generation's "I Got A Boy" was produced by Zanybros the same company that is now representing the new Kpop soloist AleXa. In 2013 this video topped the charts and it beat American MVs by Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, etc. for video of the year at the KZbin video awards. SNSD are "the nation's girl group" and considered queens for a reason. :D "I Got a Boy" was part of the era when Kpop songs were created to give an equal amount of lines to every member. So, because SNSD has 9 members, this song is longer than a lot of Kpop songs, which gives them time to do a lot of different things in the song. ;P Switching up the beat in Kpop songs is just kind of part of what makes Kpop unique. Case in point, in "I Got a Boy" Jessica literally says, "Lets bring it back to 1-40" which is a reference to switching up the tempo -- changing it from that slower ballad section and bringing the song back to the faster beat. "I Got a Boy" is structured the same way as BigBang's song, "Bang Bang Bang," but "Bang Bang Bang" came out in 2015, 2 years later. And ever since then, it has pretty much become SM's signature song structure style, as we have heard from songs like aespa's "Next Level," and the majority of NCT's and WayV's songs, etc.

[@infinitelocke]

Ooohhhh thanks for that info!!!

[@fluffinator3701]

I've never been able to stop hearing "I've got a boy on my chin" whenever listening to this song, no matter how many years that pass by :D

[@kndsc516]

IGAB is known as the Bohemian Rhapsody of K-pop. This song was HUGE, even though alot of people couldn't make sense of it because it was so ahead of its time. It's kind of the predecessor of Red Velvet's Zimzalabim and Aespa's Next Level, I think snsd is like a treasure trove of wonderful work waiting to be discovered and appreciated. [live performance, tour, sub unit, member solo]

[@infinitelocke]

They definitely set the trend for what we see today!

[@thrynx]

I Got A Boy were so ahead of its time. Newer generations are trying this kind of mixing genres but nothing comes close to IGAB.

just a fyi...i heard this from the classical reaction vid that the composers(?) came up with the song in 15 minutes...like all the switch up and BPM

[@animecookies8784]

Oh yes fashion is apparent in kpop to life at the time. I remember the colorful jeans when the song Gee came out. Almost everybody was wearing colorful jeans back in middle school. And I start to notice 3rd gen and 4th gen kpop fashion and how people and idols are still influenced

[@infinitelocke]

They definitely influenced a lot of the current kpop fashion today!

[@xanseviera]

This song is great when it have the clear objective, to portray the excitement to see a boy they like, and the switch beats are totally relevant to their excitement on seeing him. That's how I felt when I first listened to this song. I really do 10 years later.

Thank you! Been waiting for this. They are all amazing in this mv but Yuri ATE it! I remember when this mv was out, aLOT of kpop fans and non fans wore that cat ears headbands everywhere! Jessica thing I don't know much what happened besides what's official statement says but now Jessica doesn't follow any of the members and none of them follow her. I think it's more like personal between her and the other members. Even our makne who I thought would most likely follow her, but she doesn't. So... Love em all none the less. :)

Yeah yuri always dances like the rent is due! & yep regardless what happened, Jessica’s talent and vocal is undeniable!

Wow, another great reaction! I like your fresh perspective in a number of different respects, incl. your fashion analysis. And i was like yup, saw that coming, how Sooyoung totally attacked you at the top, LOL. BTW she has a funny comment in her vlog about her opening line in that song. :)

[@infinitelocke]

Thank you sooo much!! And I love her personality! I love how she does and says what she wants all of the time!

[@bbbbbbbbbb0]

Now that I think about it, 2013 SM was experimenting a lot it seems with their groups. IGAB and shinee’s Everybody were the most “risky” songs they released that year but it worked. Like IGAB is the reason why we get so much beat switch ups today but Everybody is the reason why choreography in k-pop stepped tf UP. I hope you do Everybody soon!

I’ll add it to my list! Thanks!

[@ahilltodayeon]

From what I have heard about the situation with Jessica was that she started a fashion company that quickly became successful. SM didn't think it would blow up like that and became not cool with the idea of her making bank without them getting a slice of the pie. This created tension and scheduling conflicts and I'm pretty sure SM gave her the ultimatum of stay in the group and neglect the fashion company or for her to leave. Of course nothing has really been confirmed, but out of all the versions of the theory I have heard this made the most sense to me.

[@riffgroove]

No, SM knew from the outset that they weren't going to be making anything from Jessica's company. They told her very specifically she was not allowed to use SNSD's name to promote it. The issue started when Jessica started neglecting her duties to the group.

[@infinitelocke]

Ohh okay! I’ll deff look more into it myself a little bit! Thanks for the input!

@@robvandenbosch4897 Jessica admits in her own statement that SM and SNSD told her to make a choice between the group and her fashion company because she obviously wasn't able to do both to everybody's satisfaction. That's from Jessica's own statement. Are her own words not good enough for you?

[@robvandenbosch4897]

@@riffgroove she obviously satisfied SM cause she confirmed 2 times that she could do both. But due to team pressure on SM it escalated. SM even says the lacked mediation so they failed hard as a company as well: However, recently with Jessica starting her fashion business while there was a lack of specific mediation regarding the interests and prioritization of Girls’ Generation’s activities. This just reads as they didnt do a fuck and came in when it was already too late. They were all too blame not just Jessica. OT9 and SM were all to blame for this.

[@Thyrwyn]

I didn't find Kpop until 2019, but I remember the first time I watched this MV. Blackpink was my gateway, and it was the beat switches and presence that grabbed my attention. When I watched this, it gave me the same feels. Still one of my favorite songs; still one of my favorite groups.

[@riffgroove]

I believe this song is the beginning of the current "SM sound." Nobody knew what to make of this at the time, but this song shaped the songs of so many future SM groups. Regarding Jessica. People like to make the situation a lot more complicated than it actually is. If you read both Jessica's and SM's statements, they both say pretty much the same thing. SM says that Jessica was spending so much time starting her fashion company that it was interfering with her duties to the group. In Jessica's statement, she admits that is the reason she was relieved of her duties. The bottom line is, if Jessica was as devoted to the group as she claimed she was, the only people she had to prove it to were SM and the rest of SNSD. She obviously failed to do that.

[@infinitelocke]

Oh okay I see I see! Well I hope they can maybe one day reconcile because I feel like if that’s the reason, their friendships are more important but🤷🏾‍♂️we never know if that’s the full story so who knows

@@infinitelocke I think we'll see Jessica onstage with SNSD again on the same day Donald Trump wins an Olympic Gold Medal in female gymnastics. In the last 8 years, Jessica hasn't been seen in the same room as any of the other girls even once. In my personal opinion, Jessica is quite happy steering clear of the other girls and vice-versa.

[@multik8951]

Their situation is not really that clear, one side says the group kick her out because of the statement that was release in her company but was deleted later and the other side is speculating that their company is to blame. After all, kpop idols might rise to fame and be popular but they are still tied by the companies contract. All of us fans believed either the group and the company kick her out or it is just the company, but no matter unless the girls would personally reveal it we won't ever know. Love your reactions and opinions by the way man😁😁

Best theory I've seen for what's behind Jessica's removal from SNSD: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpmVmqqHeraSf6M Just because poster has a clear bias (channel name is Golden Star, aka Jessica's post-SNSD fandom) doesn't automatically make them wrong. Give it a watch, offline.
