The strange thing is that all of this seems ancient, but when these songs came out Madonna was already around for about 20 years and The Rolling Stones for more than 40. Time is relative indeed.

[Duma]

2005-2006 were the early years of second gen, 2007-2009 is when a lot of legendary groups made their debuts or broke out, and 2010-2012 is when kpop was slowly started to expand internationally.

[suzy]

BoA, Girls Generation, Wonder Girls....Magic.
Shinee, FT Island and Epik High still going strong.

[danyaleman]

SHINee on the cover. My SHAWOL heart feel so proud to stan a group as strong as they are with such a huge legacy and so many timeless anthems. Their 2008 releases Replay, The Shinee World and AMIGO are so dear to me, so much nostalgia to their sound and image. The have come such a long way

[TheVeeShow]

I got into kpop in 2008 so these were my first songs. So nostalgic!

[muhamadfawwaznorrashid]

I got into kpop in 2009 during my time in college, i was surprised when one of my friends told me there's a kpop group which consist of 13 members... long story short, it's "Super Junior - U" that i watch and since then i became a kpop fan... Suju, GG, Big Bang, Epik High, Shinee, and FT Island are among my favorites of all time and i cant believe they all still active...

I watched so many great kpop group which disbanded and i get sad too... but i still listen to their songs periodically such as 2NE1, Gfriend, IOI, MissA, T-Ara, A-jax, Kara, Nuest, 2AM, DMTN, and so on...

and currently i am a huge Dreamcatcher fan :)

TVXQ Mirotic is what got me hooked on K-pop. I'd heard a few Rain songs before then (and maybe others that I don't remember) but TVXQ was the clincher. It's been a huge part of my life ever since. I've made so many good friends through sharing our love of the music and talented artists. It's been half of my life already. Crazy to think there was a time in my life when I had no idea of its existence. I remember having dance parties in my living room with my sister listening to Big Bang. I remember teaching myself hangeul so I could read and understand more. Pretty much not a single day goes by where I don't hear Korean in some way. It's just crazy to think about how big it's become in my life, how it's shaped my growth into adulthood and been with me through everything. Don't mind me, I can get sentimental and nostalgic, especially in the fall. :')

This was the time i startet to listen to kpop.. good old golden times of big bang and wonder girls..

[imorca]

I really appreciate these videos focused on older songs. It's hard for a new kpop fan to learn about these groups without some helpful suggestions about where to start. Also, how in the heck did you get such good quality video for some of these!? The videos on youtube for many of these songs are terrible quality.

[haruka]

These era K-POP hit harder than today K-POP, the era before social media become mainstream, no stupid tiktok/YT short dance challenge

THE FIRST GENERATION OF KPOP NEEDS MOOORE RECOGNITION

[PostveThinking]

27 votes to songs from SM.
LSM really knew what he was doing! Hope the company can keep that standard up now.

[sergel]

There’s so much nostalgia here! While things were rough for me during those years KPOP was such a nice escape so I’ll always miss the happy moments then.

[dronesclubhighjinks]

Thank you so much for making this video! I found some new favourites for my playlist!
It is striking how many beautiful women have short hair styles in this time period. We have had a good 15 years now in which above the shoulder, chin length, and above the ear hair cuts for girls and women have not been trendy at all.
This has nothing to do with music obviously! I just love the sophisticated, high fashion styles! ❤

[zvukzvuk]

I hope that you are preparing 2nd part where you will mention HOT - Happiness, Seo Taiji & Boys - Come Back Home, Seo Taiji & Boys - I Know, Kim Gun Mo - Wrongful Meetings, So Chan We - Tears, R.ef - Farewell Formula, Jinusean - Gasoline, 1TYM - HOT, CBMass/Dynamic Duo, Solid - Soul mate, JYP - Dont Leave Me, SOLID - my only friend

[deeeeeeezzzzaaaa]

Replay is such a classic, iconic Shinee song ❤

[tamaravanhees]

The videos look really old, but then I realised I'm the one that old. I found some songs in this list that I like and wished I was listening to Kpop when I was in my 20s 😅
