KPOP HISTORY in 20mins | From SeoTaiji to BTS (Reaction) 

Gangnam Style guy (PSY) was a YG artist but made his own agency in 2018 called "P-Nation", which is Jessi's agency!

BIGBANG kept the lifelines alive tbh. From late 2000s to 2010s era, they keep changing the sounds for Korea to stay relevant in the game. Always the first to step up the game like Music video quality, self music production, fashion and styles, stage presence and broke all the kpop stereotypes. Seo taiji is like the blueprint and Bigbang is the manual.

BIGBANG was so frickin huge back in the day, I sometimes forget 😳. They legitimately had K-Pop at the palm of their hands at one point and competed with the biggest acts 10 years into their career. Something no other 2nd Gen group was able to do. Certainly the legends 👍

Seo Taiji actually passed the "trophy" to BTS himself. They also performed together.

Seo Taiji, Bigbang and BTS were born to make the kpop Industry a huge thinggg!!!!!! There are also many other phenomenal idols n grps but these three are and will be the Legends 👑🔥💜💜💜💜💜

I just love how BTS members doesn’t have foriegn member yet break into western market they didn’t use the appeal that “oh he is from this or that he have this accent” bts just used english when they already got recognized by the western market plus all members don’t even came from seoul but in different cities of south korea. They are the standard Edit: but still i respect all groups as they are also working hard but bts started just different plus they didn’t came from the big 3 and almost go to bunkruptcy it just amazes me on how they introduce their sincere music without money to promote, its really uses blood, sweat, tears, sincerenes, love for music and TALENT, i still remember the time where kpop fans don’t see them as handsome idol and still mocking their faceyet they became bigger it just proves that people like them not because of their looks but because of their music and lyrics they first look at their music not the face and that they are talented.. its the talent guys REAL TALENT and that’s how ARMY’s were formed

1st gen : Introduce Kpop system to Korea people era 2nd gen : Introduce Korea to the world era (Hallyu wave) 3rd gen : Global group era 4th gen : Pandemi era 😭

OMG BIGBANG AND 2NE1 IS LEGENDS OF THE KPOP FOR REAL they bring kpop many firsts and they made revulation in the music their styles and voices are so different

From YGent: Jinusean (KPOP hiphop legend) 1Tymn (Our main Producer Teddy park group) PSY (now have his owm label since 2018) Bigbang(kings of kpop👑) 2ne1 (the most swagger queens) Winner (Kings Of Summer) Ikon (YG ikonic songs maker) Akmu (nation siblings/digital monster in korea) BLACKPINK(My queens🖤💖) Treasure (YG 4th gen monster Rookie)

I met KPOP in 2009, watching all this video made me remember everything I did when I was little hahaha

lenny y'all NEED to react to Seo Taiji and BTS's unit performances,, like Come Back Home and others, they're amazing!

Super Junior is the BIG group in my opinion, when I didn't know anything about kpop and I didn't watch dramas either, around the year 2011, I was watching TV at home and on MTV they showed "Sorry, sorry" and "Mr. Simple", at that time where the internet was not massive, Super Junior was one of the groups that made kpop known to the world, actually I feel that the second generation groups were the great promoters of what kpop is at the moment, they reached the market America, especially Latin America and Mexico, where it was difficult for them to arrive in those years.

that line "bts are more bigger than whole kpop combine "gave me goosbombs at the same time made me proud

1. 1990. Hyun Jinyoung - The first singer who bring Hiphop to Korean. Debut in SM Studio (Before SM Ent ) 2. 1992. Seo Taiji & Boys. Hiphop group with dance performance. 3. 1996. H.O.T debut in SM Entertaiment. *Cultural Technology* with 4 core stages: - Casting, - Training, - Producing, and - Marketing / Managing. Until now, this system has been widely used by Kpop agencies in South Korea to create, debut, and market their groups. This point is The Original Kpop system. At this point, Idol Kpop & Group like today is born. 4. 1998. S.E.S debut. The first Girl Group Debut. 5. 2000. The first Hallyu act (Korean Wave to the world) BoA, 13 years old, alone, solo, debut in Japan. Become Asia Queen. 6. 2003. 2nd generation. TVXQ debut Following BoA debut in Japan. 7. 2009. Boys Before Flower Kdrama was sooo popular in Asia and world, especially South East Asia and make ASEAN become the biggest Kpop fandom country until today (beside East Asia). This Hallyu wave lead to introduce Kpop top group like Super Junior, Girls Generation, Bigbang, 2NE1, Shinee, F(x) etc 8. 2012. 3rd gen. EXO debut. Become Top group for years. 9. 2016. BTS first daesang and become soooo popular especially in 2018. 10. 2019/2020. 4th gen. Covid Era. Online concert, everything online. Metaverse, AI, Hologram etc.

Exo are legends, since 2012 the year of their debut to today, any group can be compared them in longevity, the are the definitions of talent, and having suscess in anything what they do, units, solos, act, cheff, designers, models, embassadors, djs, CEOs many more. The NATION'S PICK that brings pace and recognition to their country without the need of controversy, EXO is the face of the peaceful relationship between China and Korea, that's why the president use them and invite them to political travels and reunions.

This was such a good and informative video... Thank you so much for your reactions☺️💜

EXO kingsss Still the second biggest kpop boy group till now without promotion and while on military hiatus

Really love your reactions, keep doing more ! Love you guys 💜

Omg guys thank u for reacting to this video is amazing, I know there's a lot of groups and songs but I wish u guys can react to BigBang "Bang Bang Bang", Girls Generation "into the new world", 4minute "Crazy" and maybe more legendary songs in kpop ;)

Wonderful reaction guys. I've been a fan since H.O.T and FIN.K.L. 1st gen. So it's been really fun watching Kpop evolve over the years and become popular in the USA. I used to be ashamed to share it and it was my secret in school. Now those kids are stanning over it. It's cute. Yes, I'm old. But 90s and early 2000s Kpop was something special. I remember downloading shows and MVs using my family dial up internet. 🤣 I still have many of those videos to this day! It was so new, innovative and cool! And it just kept getting better and better.

BIG BANG is the blueprint for kpop and still is till this day. True legends 🙌 👏 KINGS INDEED

YG really hits DIFFERENT , THE HOME OF LEGEND ITSELF 👑

for sure the kpop industry will grow even more! 💚

Rain is a living legend in K-pop and K-drama. He is a role model for many idols.

The Psy Has his own company now he handles Jessi and other artists as well

OH GOSH THANKS SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO THIS LEGEND VIDEO

more bts reaction please

Lenny pls react to BTS duo tiktoks compilations:)💜💜💜and More bts contents☺Always there to support ur hardwork lenny!💓💓

Always we love your video reaction , Lenny pls react to bts tik tok compilation !

SM himself rejects jyp imao that's the funniest shit I've heard today

it still breaks my heart how many new fans don't know much about bigbang or many other 2nd gen groups

"PROBABLY AT THIS POINT BTS IS BIGGER THAN THE WHOLE KPOP COMBINED" - that line there was just on point.

Swaggy swag who??? BTS!!!!!!

The thing I like about is how BTS have always credited everything where it's due. Hip-hop culture was originally originated from Africa, bts were the first ever kpop group to credit and actually mention the fact that their debut album was infact inspired by afro beats / hip-hop culture as well as admitting that some of their dance moves were also from the African culture, they have infact paved the way but unlike other groups, they still stay humble and don't show it neither appear to be superiors to other groups, I love those guys so much. They also stay true to their roots and admit their own mistakes.

Bts has their own history category 💜

Yes. I'm kpop fans since 2009 and I can't imagine who can be bigger than TVXQ, SNSD, Bigbang etc. But booom there are EXO, BTS, Blackpink etc. And I'm sure there are group can be bigger and bigger in the future...

2NE1 is known for breaking typical stereotypes of K-pop, musical experimentation, fashion, and stage presence, they are recognized for expanding girl group styles in the Korean music industry and have become one of the leading figures of the Korean wave.

BTS will forever remain iconic.They are the definition of from zero to hero.Love their discography and personalities sm.

Hi! Can you guys react to BigBang? They were one of the first groups to write their own songs and G Dragon was the one who designed the first light stick in kpop😊😀

the fact that Boa 2th gen idol debuted in GOT with 4th gen idols (Winter, Karina)

The fact is everyone is big & all until BTS happened. Legends of the Music industry.

Please reaction TAEYONG, YANG YANG, JENO ,HENDERY, GISELLE, "ZOO" STAGE VIDEO

yes big bang and 2ne1 werehuge lol...bts had them like idols u gotta react to them

more EXO reaction pls. you can check EXO - Monster or Tempo. their music and vocal so amazing. btw, in 2019 some exo members started enlisting in the military that's why you rarely see them comeback. some of the members haven't even started their military yet. So maybe we'll see them complete as a group in a few years? cmiiw :)

4th gen started in 2019 with monster rookies txt and itzy who debuted around the same time with 5 members

The kings of kpop are BIG BANG and no doubt in that🔥🙇🏻‍♀️

he forget to mention that the 2nd generation have Big impact in the industry and that Shinee had a huge impact and were the Pilar of kpop and were the one who've bring almost everything in the industry and inspired others, and have made the kpop what it's today. THEY have start a lot of things and had open. Lot of doors for the other artist. So yeah BTS are huge but a lot of artist deserve to be known and are really talented too. And some of them have done things before them, when fan think BTS have invented a lot of different things most of the time it's not true other groupe have done it and most of the time they were part of the 2nd Gen. So if people love and are interested by kpop they should try to watch all different groupes even old one bcs BTS is not all the kpop. Don't get me wrong I love them but I been more than 13 years that I know kpop all their groupe ad evolution and I'm just a little tired to see people thinking that BTS have done everything, it's not true. Of course they're the one who were popular all around the world but they were not the one who've start doing concert etc all around the world etc etc. Yeah they had a huge impact and sometime I feel sorry for them bcs fans don't see that they also risk their life by working so much. But same they're not the only one in this case too. I would say I love the Boys but not some of their Toxic fan and there is a lot in their Fandom. Anyway that's it. He forgot some of other Groupe who had a huge impact but try all of this different groupes if you realrlly want to see what kpop is. ( Some of the 4 Gen or 3rd it depend when they've start have become popular quickly than other bcs of other groupe from their agency like Black Pink bcs of 2ne1 / TXT bcs of BTS.... Etc etc (I don't say they're not talented I just say that it was a great advantage for them when they debut (also a curse in some ways) but other groupe had became really popular by themself. Anyway

2o:54 It has nothing to do with the video but I still think you should know, RM doesn't mean "Rap Monster" it means "Real Me", Namjoon changed it some time ago, don't forget :D

Nobody can compete with our precious boys. Purple you bts 💜

갑자기 뜬 알고리즘에 K-POP HISTORY를 외국인들이 옹기종기 모여서 진지하면서 즐기는 장면을 보다니요ㅎㅎ 서태지(1992)를 시작으로 BTS(2022)까지.. 영상 잘봤어요..앞으로도 케이팝 많이 많이 사랑해주세용(^__________^)

Second generation supremacy🛐

Bigbang ❤️

I loved 💜 Guys , please show your friends "When Jungkook duality hits you" , "Jungkook hates lose at anything" , "Jungkook the King of social media" and more!! Show them more about him!!

Bigbang definitely the kings of kpop.. Nowadays they are not active like other new group, they just release 1 song and not promoting but they still going strong

noooo I stopped being a patreon this month and now you watched break the silence??? Why is my life so unfair 😭😭😭

Please bts contents reaction

y'all should watch the concert that seo taiji and bts collab !

As the video is talking about, SNSD - Girls' Generation is always the best girl group of all time.

Please react to Bigbang🤗. They are dope.

1st Gen - YG(Seo tai ji & kids) 2nd - Seven 3rd - Big bang 4th - Blackpink 5th - Baby monster

Please do reaction to SuperM jopping 🙏🥺

BTS PAVED THE WAY

Please react to BTS 7Fates : Chakho launch trailer🙏💜💜

Please react to big bang

Blackpink and Psy is from YG not JYP. But now Psy has his own label P nation.

Me encanta la reacción y también el vídeo a qué reaccionaron

OMG but the solo legends from 1.5 I had no idea everyone connected like that wow this was a great video to react to! esp lee hyori! okay but the songs nobody and sorry sorry from the 2nd gen-ish were huge before I actually entered the kpop world officially in 2017. Gangnam Style guy Psy made his own company P-Nation that has hyuna, dawn, jessi, crush, and heize. Blackpink came from YG not JYP LOOOL and yg former CEO was part of Seo Taiji LOOOL.

It's kinda disappointing how people nowadays consider SUPER JUNIOR nothing when they played an important role in Kpop recognition. I love my suju kings and they will forever be ICONIC

Lenny please react to BTS Hardships

BTS, STRAY KIDS and PSY forever 💜💜

BTS! 💛

This was actually really interesting to watch

TxT reactions please

BTS PAVED THE WAY 💜

BTS LEYENDAS ICONICAS!!!

Bigbang paved the way now some kids will come to deny it but you can't change the fact Bigbang paved the way they're OG of kpop 👑✨

More BTS videos reaction please💜

If it weren't for the incident, Yoo Seung Jun would have been legendary in K-pop

The only thing I don't like about this video you're reacting to is how they don't credit African American music. Hip hop, R&B, etc, are all from black American culture. That was the music that inspired the earliest K-pop groups to start doing those genres in their own language.

Please can you and your friends react to shadow mv by suga and the live performance too.

When you look at YANG HYUN SUK aka YG from 90's my man was so freaking handsome

React exo, shinee, 2pm and tvxq pls

in short, there's nothing called kpop without BIG 3 😌💅

Psy(gangnam style guy) opened his own company which is called as p nation.In his company there is jessi,hyuna,Dwan etc

Speaking of Super M, react to them, please!

Lenny Len invite you and your friends to get acquainted with q-pop (qazaq pop, that is, songs in the Kazakh language), here are some music videos: 1.Ninety One - "Ah! Yah! Mah" , Men emes , Su Asty, Yeski Taspa Bii, Darn , Oinamaqo, Mooz, Senorita, E.Yeah!, All i need, Bari biled 2. Madmen - Alma, Ulala, Lalalem 3.Crystalz - Sen sulu, Did 4. Sevenlight - Nukte

the ateez in this video made me happy

Thank you for watching it!!

Lenny, have you reacted to some of Seo Taiji's songs? Try "Feel the Soul" MV, "Ultramania" MV, "Internet War" MV, original "Come Back Home" & new BTS-covered "Comeback Home" & "Classroom Idea" featuring BTS at Seo's Time Traveler concert (in 2017), etc. If you want links, I can give you some suggestions.

Pls Seo Taiji x BTS performances

guys please react to big bang

Wedding dress was what started it for me lol.
