15 "First Generation KPOP" Facts That Sound FAKE But Are REAL 

Baby V.O.X fandom sometimes did use their bodies as human shields to protect the girls so...

@@Yourguyemziii347 Oh wow, really?? That's crazy. The girls were physically attacked??

"After the show, behind the studio, 1 on 1" Honestly I would love to see that fight

@@burnburb ngl same

Just imagine Blinks and Armys meeting to fight in the streets

Dr music sucks as a agency. Look at how they handled black swan's career.

Also, in the comeback they named Baby V.O.X Re.V as Baby V.OX but they said "It is the same name but is not the same group" which is nonsense

@@Duma2011 i can’t believe it’s still up and running

Holy shi-. But yeah its true tho.

There's also Taecyeon's period blood with pubes letter, omgggg

It actually depends on the group. I know TWICE has accepted prepackaged food, not sure if they actually ate it, though. They did drink some type of chocolate drink given by a fan but, again, it was prepackaged😊

@@gmmartines7331 The item Yunho accepted was orange juice. The anti-fan mixed super glue into it...

yunho isn’t in a 2nd gen idol btw..

@@y.4r11 Um, yes he is. Please kindly look up what 2nd gen. means before commenting.

Literal jail for like all of these but now online bashing is the worst they have to deal with lmao

This is the worst thing forreal

It's funny how he did that sht in front of everyone but there's still ppl believing that him and Seungri didn't abused and exploited girls

wtf??😳😳😳

Wasn’t she the sister of one of his first gen idols

​@@glen.b_7246 yes, she's the sister of lee jaijin from sechskies

Cause as long as it's not their fav they don't care also it's an old story so yes

IKRRR!

Also no one is talking about how YG groomed his ex wife but you know, fans only care about superficial things mostly

@@tenscar6131 i think most fans simply wouldnt know… most kpop fans dont keep up to date with yg himself

That’s right that guy should of gotten dragged for the filth because he was basically grooming her. misogyny is a cancer to society. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Strict with lipsynced performance? You sure about that?

@@kimnamjooniemoni2221 Temporarily, at least.

@@irvinsotelo9733 oh ok ok

​@@kimnamjooniemoni2221 most shows still bann lip syncing. Problem is that they allow you to pre record 90% of the vocals at your ENT and the last 10% at the show. So it's basically still 100% lip syncing

@@kimnamjooniemoni2221 @kimnamjooniemoni2221 try to work at one of the music broadcast program, you may find how senior staff will ask each manager to not use more than 30% for each members. Because I'm stupid with English, I'll explain it. If you're have 3 members A, B, C out of all their line A, B and C only allowed to use record voice max 30%. Let say their song is 5 minutes long, A got 2 minutes, B and C each 1.5 minutes, with math, 30% of 1.5 minutes is 27seconds. Senior staff on that program quite scarier, because they have more powers than the manager or even the artist, since they can even make "accidental mistake" on music when the group doing live. Those who's question about lypsinc on music program usually are the people who doesn't have any work experience behind the music program 😅

Hey! lol some of these are from my reddit thread, hey fellow 1st gener!!

I'm more shocked that u dont know this Idol😅 He is even famous among 3rd gen stans

@@Ahgase7for7 oh no yeah i know him! ㅋㅋㅋ i just dont know his name but ive seen him however i didnt know he got kicked out and back again in his group jshsj

The thing is he was already well-established, in his 30s, and most of his fans were older He was also very open about his past [really sad] Fun fact: he was in a janet jackson music video for like 4 seconds haha, pretty cool

Yeahh I searched and I couldn't find any stuff about them

They are iconic? They don't even have Grammys and there are no hollywood artists who want to collaborate with them lol? Some of those rotten groups like h.o.t and shinhwa thought they're cool when they said n-word lol😂

1st gen isn't famous among international fans and young people

3rd gen isn’t under praised lol, a lot of people prefer 3rd gen groups over 4th gen. The biggest Kpop groups are 3rd gen groups.

@@pix1943 You don't have to read all of this but no, OP is actually right when you think about international success and how tastes turn as the Gens switch. A lot more 4th Gen groups are popular now internationally compared to 3rd Gen for newer fans when looking at the big picture and not just a select few groups. Sure, a small handful 3rd Gen groups are still really celebrated and adored by international fans, but the hype around 4th Gen groups are definitely more prevalent on social media outside of a handful of 3rd Gen super groups whose popularity survived till now - like BTS, EXO, Red Velvet, Blackpink, and a few more. You don't hear many current fans these days talk about groups like Block B, BAP, VIXX, BTOB, Boys Republic, Fiestar, AOA, NU'EST, etc. despite them all actually being quite well known during 3rd Gen. Now groups like IVE, New Jeans, Stray Kids, The Boyz, ATEEZ, ONEUS, NMIXX, Cravity, Billie, Xdinary Heroes, etc. are at the front of newer fans lists. It's only natural as the Gen turns that newer fans will be most drawn to the modern music first. Similar to how BIGBANG was massive and one of the most popular for 2nd Gen groups, but now 4th Gen fans don't really know their music now. It's bound to happen as time passes by and it doesn't take away from that group's legacy at all. OP isn't saying that Gen 3 isn't big or successful, but rather that newer fans look more often to 4th Gen groups since 3rd Gen don't promote as much as they used to and their music flavor is different from 4th Gen groups.

@@OfficialAwkbe If that’s the context that op meant, then this can be said about any generation. But I don’t think what you said is what op meant, since their comment only says people praise 2nd gen but not 1st gen and now it’s just repeating with 3rd and 4th. Their comment never said anything about music taste changing (not blaming you, blaming the lack of context given). But I do agree with what you said. Also I read all of it LOL.

@@din.i Actually it is. But their audience is formed by mostly adults

Another generation problem always looks better since they're not experience it

Fans need to be told off

It was somewhat getting better during 2nd gen, with more freedom of interactions

@@hanifaazz6061 yeah but then 3rd gen it started to get worse and now we have 4th gen .... messed up literally

They were not strange at that time but fans were really extreme for all this People blame 4th gen stans a lot but compare to other gens they're much better in a lot of cases

No, I get what you're saying, but no... kpop was started because of black American culture. Idols like cl and many many others have admitted this. There's no denying the amount of influence black people have had on and in kpop.

As much as I think it's awesome to admire the struggles of the first idols and all they broke barriers, the whole idea of "you should thank them cause everything you achieved today is because of them and only them" gets super old and annoying after some point. Because then it begs the question - does that mean new idols did not achieve ANYTHING on their own? So does that mean any award or any batch of honour they receive today, old idols always need to be thanked for them? Always? Everyone struggled and struggles. Struggles definitely opened up a path for new idols and gave them more opportunities and it's very important to humbly respect that as new idols and fans of new idols but, I don't think you should ALWAYS account the new idols' current success to the old one. You shouldn't hate on anyone, which is sadly easier said than done but you also shouldn't forget the efforts the new and as well as old idols put. You don't have to connect everything all the time but yeah, being respectful does not cost a lot. Also, the other person mentioning k-pop became what it did due to the black community music - that's music everywhere honestly. It's good to know your root of influence but again, k-pop has become its own thing now regardless of how much it's influenced by different genres of music. Besides, what isn't influenced by something else in POP music? Has Pop music ever been original anywhere? Some might say Japan is different but japan was also influenced by other music genres and they decided to make it their own in their own way. Everything is influenced by everything. And it's good if you respect that. It's good that you remember that. It's good that you stay humble thinking about it. But it does not need to be thunk about all the time. But i get what you mean.

@@notgoodatonlinenames9943 Sis Kpop was NOT started black music/culture but INFLUENCED black music/culture. Some of the groups in 1st gen did have R&B and hip hop songs but most of the top songs of that era were techno, dance, and bubble gum pop. They even had a heavy rock era.

@@lovenala1987 I totally agree and would add that, although it's true that they paved the way in some ways, they were not "sacrificing their lives" for the idols that would come after them as it was implied, they made certain sacrifices they had to in order to achieve their own dreams, same as everyone else. It's great to aknowledge them, but thanking them as if no one else would ever be out there chasing their own dreams and opening up new paths in the process might be a little too much. Everyone who came after them gave their own contributions to the industry and culture.

​@@notgoodatonlinenames9943아닙니다 당신의 견해는 완전히 틀렸어요

Baby V.O.X was from DR Music, the ones who were from DSP are Fin.K.L

Not is he he IS MENTALLY ILL He and Yang Hyun suk (YG CEO) are pervert You can also say pretty much to jyp but he isn't in that extreme level

They don't love they're obsessed heavily obsessed

Yeah, and member Shim Eunjin got a dead cat and obscene letters with obscene drawings of Miyoun and the other Baby V.O.X members

​@@Yourguyemziii347 wtffff

It's not "fall in love" man literally groomed instead it's heavily fetishized She was more likely a "waifu" material she was definitely manipulated cause young women are naive and easy to manipulate

@@samiaoishy7862 oh i don't know that kind of word exist, but you got the point

He also purposely mismanaged her group so she wouldn't get famous and be out of his league... Disgusting.

yeah I read she is the younger sister of an idol or an idol trainee back then and they did some filming of him for a programme and that is how he first saw her not sure if he was under YG

@@MsKaz1000 her older brother is Jaejin from Sechskies, they disbanded on early 2000s and make a comeback reunion under YG in 2016

You could've really worded the stuff between "eventually giving" and "who was a fan of those groups" a whole lot more coherently

@@Robalexe not even gonna lie i was drunk when i wrote this lmao 😭 i tried fixing it at the time but was too out of it for my brain to work omg edit: i think i fixed it for the most part, that hurt my head trying to read it LOLOL

It is like sk and the military doesn’t give af about idols it’s no secret and u heard what happened to gd taemin and I’m sure more idols/ non idol males

@@Legionofbees the idols are given no privacy, they’re forced to shower with the other men, and some of them attempt to take pictures to sell to saesangs etc. Taemin had to be transferred to community service because of the stress and his depression. I remember Baekhyun was given a separate room to shower in during his training period to stop people from invading his privacy.

It's just too long for people to make them forget your existence in that time

True that, he is disgusting

No way wtf you just said😭

I think.. Yunho is in the 2nd gen.

omg, isn't that attempted murder? that's insane

@@oryzaberliana5723 that's why I said second and third gens!

TVXQ is a 1st generation group

@@Yourguyemziii347 I thought second generation started early 2003, my bad

They got married when she was 20 and there’s nothing to my knowledge of when they started dating so she could’ve been 18 when they got together dating

@@brennathecatlover4360 seo taji Yang Hyun suk (YG CEO) and many more are groomers yes A lot of Korean man in the industry are also groomers including some popular Idols as well we just don't know who

did you get two different instances mixed up the no pants girl and she was actually wearing something just very short I guess and the guy she wanted was JK or I have read elsewhere the thing with Tae was another who kept sticking her phone in his face so he decides to give her a taste of her own medicine but he didn't click to take a pic just put up his phone it didn't stop anti's from complaining about it, bishes any excuse

​@@MsKaz1000 ... Oh yeah sorry, I have the two mixed up, but both instances were at the airport iirc. The girl with short shorts (no pants) just wanted to get his attention, she wasn't even using a camera & just kept walking beside him, she tried to wave at him but he didn't see it. She actually looks pretty & she could even be in a KPop group. Some of her replies to army can be found online & some of it were angry comments defending herself. The one where Tae points his phone was a different incident & he had blonde hair in that one. This kind of fan behavior is subconscious & sometimes uncontrollable. It's really all about natural organic biological sexual attraction.They are very hyped & excited to be close to the person who is famous & sexually attracted to. They just happened to be at a higher level of excitement than other fans. But they are also probably somewhat lonely souls. This has been going on since the days when Frank Sinatra & later on, Elvis Presley, etc, were teen idols of their day. And of course, the Beatles, the first most famous idol group known to have had a worldwide size of screaming fans. And probably long before them, like during the time of Rudolph Valentino, who made women faint at his movies, in the early 20th century. And this will continue with future heart throbs, yet to be born, long after BTS & current ARMY are long gone from this Earth too, in the same way as Sinatra, Rudolph, Elvis & half the Beatles are gone.

This is something that happens with Japanese idols too. Idols are apparently supposed to present themselves as innocent and pure, and everything they do is for the fans. So, they have to present themselves as a fan's unattainable dating fantasy. Both Japan and Korea have been trying to pass laws and referendums that keep companies from controlling their artist's dating lives, but the culture has been around so long it's hard to actually get rid of. Not the best way to explain that, but I hope it helped.

@@elizabethkelley2559yh i heard about this its sad really coz these people are sctual people no one has the right to say ur not allowed to date blah blah its up to the person of their choice we as fans need to stop crossing that boundary no matter what even if its a culture it doesn’t matter these are still people

Parasocial relationships!

Because you need teeth to eat and speak properly

I think maybe because tooth related anything can be related to bad health etc, so if your teeth have fallen out at a younger age or you need them removed, it must mean your health isn’t top shape like it should be… if that makes sense

just aa ton of health conditions are listed a a reason one can be exempted from military. MC Mong probably looked through the list and picked one he could achieve

It’s called having self respect and knowing your worth..

Ooooh
