THE MOST ICONIC KPOP SONGS THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW! 🫵 

"why is there no iu?" CUTS TO IU PLEASE SEB IM CRYING XD

As a kpop fan since 2008, I can say that from 2008-2013 had the best hits. Knew every single song in this. It's been a wild ride and these songs don't get old.

As a Kpop fan since 2014, i think 2015-18 was an iconic era in Kpop. Especially 2015 like every single song was a certified BOP. Every single song I can list is a BOP. Like OOH-AHH by Twice Crazy by 4Minute Mu Gustas Tu by Gfriend Up & Down by EXID Call Me Baby by EXO Adore U, Mansae by Seventeen Dope, I need U by BTS Bang Bang Bang by Big Bang 4 Walls by F(x) Hero by Monsta X Ice Cream Cake by Red Velvet My House by 2 PM Just Right by Got7 Chained Up by VIXX Mommae by Jay Park (I hate this man with passion but this song is a BOP) Hello Bitches by CL I miss this era man😭

“TRUST ME, X1 will be the future of kpop” oh boy that did not age well 😂

I've been a KPOP fan since 2016 it's such a blast from the past HAHAH also VIXX CHAINED UP IS SO ICONIC I ALMOST CRIED FROM HAPPINESS

I’m sorry. Have you not reacted to “Replay” yet?! It’s the best debut in all of kpop. It is ICONIC

if you like a song, don’t be afraid to show it. just because you like the song doesn’t mean you automatically like the artist. i have like 15 songs of suju in my playlist cause theyre song are literally fucking amazing but do i like suju? HELL FUCKING NOOOO ..

The mamamoo erasure is wild here - Um Oh Ah Yeah, You're the Best and Decalcomanie being huge hits in Korea not to mention many of their other iconic songs both domestic and intl like Starry Night, Egotistic and HIP. Should be one here minimum

Love scenario is iconic 💅

the way i know these songs i got into kpop wayyy back in 2010 i was around 10 years old, wonder girls and teen top is what got me into the industry i kinda stopped in 2019 and came back around 2022 😭 i’m so happy i’m back idk why i lost interest, i still don’t know most of the newer groups but i’m learning again ❤

I actually was surprised both HARU HARU and Lies didn't make it to the list since they hit top 1 in charts for 1+ month. (being that HARU HARU still ranks in charts to this days sometimes.)

Man Seb, you checking out more 2nd gen groups, specifically bigbang and 2ne1 would bring me nothing but happiness. 😊

i’ll admit i became a kpop stan around the time 3rd gen ended but 2011-2018 was definitely an amazing era for kpop. exo, bigbang, seventeen, bts, 2ne1, snsd, and even suju. i can definitely say no one’s beating that era of kpop. 2nd and 3rd gen kpop>>

as someone who grew up listening to these songs, the thought of people not knowing them brings an actual tear to my eye

The comment “x1 will be the future of Kpop” really shows how old this video is 😭😭😭 if only they knew

They missed T-Ara - Roly Poly and T-Ara and Davichi - We were in love. Both groups are ICONIC❤.

IDK if you know but that fancam of Hani literally saved them from disbanding. Hani personally thanked the person who recorded bc they only started selling after that fancam.

I LOVE ALMOST ALL THESE SONGS BUT VIEW (28:43) JUST HITS DIFF, my fav shinee era ever, so sad I wasn’t a stan thereee 😭

2nd gen and early 3rd gen was the shit, maybe it’s bc that’s when I got really into it but man those songs still slap extra hard Also the Infinite erasure is real here, those boys are the fathers of synchronized dancing, nvm immediately after I wrote that they showed up 💀 but their music is impeccable till this day, I’m so happy they came back So many songs from that era got so big in Korea, they had to be banned from schools etc, the only newer song that has managed that so far is Love Scenario by Ikon 😫 Seb not knowing Troublemaker is crazy, I’m still obsessed with their music, we will never get something like that ever again Step it up by Kara is my shit till this day, I could listen to it every day and not get tired of it ughhh Bap, Infinite and Vixx, those groups were ruling the world back then and I miss them sm especially Bap

Fun fact: If you type “Tiny guys dancing in a box of cereal” Got7 “Just right” will appear

NOT PUTTING RHYTHM TA IS A CRIME.

Yes Suju has been on the scene for like (more than) 18 years and Sorry Sorry just happend to be one of those Songs, that was kinda mandatory to all the Generations that came along afterwards. For Starters you can see that down to the Day where NCT joined that Random Kpop Dance that was the Song that DREW ALL of them...because Senior-Hyung Respect and that. I am very well aware that oure 2020 - 2023, wrong and right, modernized, internetsized, westernized, americanized, europeanized pove wouldn't let make Suju through debut, so I am happily they did all this ish before the Internet of today exist(ed) but that's what it is. I feel like especially in Latin America they've been in many peoples hearts, again, for better or worse. =)

2009-2013 are the golden era of kpop... It's a bit dissapointing that i didn't see Rainbow A Beast Shock, Beautiful Midnight Infinite Be Mine, Paradise, BTD Teen Top Miss Right, Rocking 2PM Again and Again, I'll be There, Heartbeat Mblaq Monalisa, Oh Yeah, This Is War Girls Day Expectation After School First Love U-kiss Neverland, 0330 BAP Warrior 4minute Whats Your Name Lee Hyori Bad Girl, Miss Korea Crayon Pop Bar Bar Bar T-ara Roly Poly Well, i understand tho it's imposible to know all songs and can't put all in one video...

The way you were wondering where IU was, up through the halfway point, I was like "this is criminal erasure of Wonder Girls, the original international viral sensation" and generally "is this person shading JYPE?" That got cleared right up in the back half, though.

List of songs that I cannot believe weren't included in this: Her -Block B Face -NUEST Lies & sober -bigbang perfect man -shinwha I am incredibly offended by their absence because these are ESSENTIAL! I am willing to debate that taeyangs wedding dress also belongs on this list

Dreamcatcher, Kard, Block B, Cross Gene and Teen Top not being here is why this compilation isn't valid for me🥲Also...I don't remember seeing Whatta Man by I.O.I

Jay Park with 2pm Iam crying 😢😢❤❤❤love him

Thank Lord I joined the Kpop scene in 2011 and got to witness all the iconic shit 🙏🏻 the YG Reign 🙌🏻 BB, 2NE1, GG, SuJu, After School, Kara, T-ARA, Infinite, Beast, Vixx, FT Island, BLOCK B, 2pm, 2am, Jay Park, Leessang, TVXQ (even though they had split), SS501, Lee Hyori, Jewelry, and so many more i can go on and on lol Watching shows like Family Outing, Oh! My School, Running Man, Barefooted Friends, Strong Heart, Infinity Challenge, etc Watching ‘The Heirs’ as my first K-Drama and falling into the K-Drama hole… Such good memories… ❤️

SHARE THE WORLD had to be my fav one piece opening , finding out TVXQ were the icons behind it just made me respect them even more .

how can you stan SKZ and not know Troublemaker when Hyunjin and Lee Know danced to it ? 😭

Spring Day and Ring Ding Dong will always be special for me, they got me into Kpop

if you fw the song, u fw the song & theres nothing wrong w that 😂 suju has some great songs. some kpop fans are so sensitive, its just music

Well someone needs to update the playlist. There’s a lot of iconic songs from 2020-now. That mashup you watched of “2020 can’t stop me” was probably the best depiction of the year…

I think any 3rd Gen stan agrees that 2015 to 2018 was GOLDEN. Seriously almost every song that came out during that time became iconic

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir, you need to get into more Shinee, those boys are so musically talented it's fucking ridiculous. I hear you singing along, having natural musical talent, ain't no way you don't love Shinee. Also KDA, the League of legends group, very good actually. and Red velvet mhmhmhmh pls, harmonies, drown me in them, all these groups have lots.

Vixx's chained up does it for me everytime🫠 I'm surprised Shangri-La wasn't on the list tho

*SM groups and solists: H.O.T, TVXQ, SUPER JUNIOR, GIRLS GENERATION, 5HINee, FX, EXO, Red Velvet, NCT/U, 127, DREAM and aespa, BoA, Taeyeon and Taemin.*

That sorry sorry by super junior is the very first kpop song that ive heard its 2010. That time idont know wtf is kpop hahaha. Next song i heard is Nobody by wonder girls.

Lee Hyori & Tablo didn’t make appearance? & Sad song by prince rain isn’t iconic!?

33:07 the fancam literally saved the group from disbanding... LITERALLY. it was on the news and they did interviews about it.

As a 2nd gen stan, I'm so happy that they did take the time to recognize that KARA's discography is one of the most amazing ones in Korean industry :') they deserved way more recognition that they got, specially internationally

6:23 I also remember suga voice 😂😂😂 its my first love story 😂😂😂

Love seeing the respect for Super Junior (they got so many bops it's wild)

OMG, WHERE IS THE AMAZING AND ICONIC SONG FROM NU'EST - FACE??? WHY ISN'T THIS SONG IN VIDEO???? WTF??? I HATED THIS SO MUCH! AND HAVE MORE ICONIC SONGS FROM 2NE1 AND DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER OF AKMU SONGS...I HATED FROM ORIGINAL VIDEO SO MUCH!

there is 2 songs I feel surprised that's not there or I didn't see it!!!! Genie by SNSD and Rokkugo by Super Junior .. I still can't get Hot Summer out of my Head 😳😳

MY CIX. They have one of the best discography in kpop so far.✋❤️

i was just like seb questioning where is ATEEZ??? then brusted into tear when i saw queen SAY MY NAME popped up. In 2019 ATEEZ have a lot of iconic songs like WONDERLAND, HALA HALA, and their first win with most iconic song WAVE with iconic chorus "HAKUNAMATATAYAH~~~~~~~" like why these songs not in that clip :((((

Trouble maker is iconic lmao I'm having flashbacks of SKZ

"Taemin, ew 😂" LMAO SEB

I love you seb thank you so much for making me laugh and keeping me company when im down!

The Korean Government banned actually more songs : SHINee "Ring Ding Dong", iKON "Love Scenario" and now NCT U "Baggy Jeans" (and probably many more)

1:47 "in the beneninging"

41:08 "IF YOU DO" IS THE QUEEEEN

I’m beyond happy that B.A.P is included ❤️

All the "Pick Me" songs with the hundreds of people on stage are part of survival shows where the audience is supposed to pick the members of the groups to debut but there has been tons of scandals about the selection process and cheating that they shut those down and restarted the brand of shows with girls planet and now boys planet

SM groups are so good , it's sad that they mistreat them , looking forward to the EXO Mvs concept

Fun Fact: In Year 2/3, the support teacher would always show us Just Right MV at the end of the day because it was kid friendly and her daughter liked GOT7 at the time. I never knew before I'd like kpop a few years later 🥺🥺

“one of the best discography in kpop” for t-ara is SO TRUE

When jongho of ATEEZ did the cover of goodbye baby goodbye on MAMA 2019 I was so surprised

Listening to *f(x)* is essential. Best discography in Kpop. Mother of 4th Gen Kpop. Experimental and Concept Queens of Kpop. Mother of Red Velvet (for concepts and discography) and New Jeans (concepts). New Jeans' creative director Min Hee Jin's brainchild was f(x). The best Kpop album by Billboard in the 2010s is f(x)'s Pink Tape.

Idk why it made me kinda sad when you were asking if you're supposed to dance or not 😭 Seb pls don't be scared to enjoy songs that make you bop. People need to learn how to separate an artist from their work and be alright with acknowledging that a bad person can make amazing music. Just because you groove to a song doesn't mean you automatically align yourself with the beliefs of everyone involved in the making of the song. It frankly seems exhausting to be the type of person that researches a person's whole life of potential controversies before 'allowing' themselves to like a song. Enjoy the music and pls don't be too hung up on the personal lives of people you don't like. Otherwise you'll hardly be able to enjoy a good chunk of these songs if you knew all the many controversies involved with these idols. Funny how the only one you were concerned about was suju haha.

THe only group that was missing is a single song of Dream catcher just to show kpop variety and cause FUUUCK they are good,

For some reason I'm proud that I know all of these songs, what a time to be alive 😂❤

God i miss 2nd gen so much, honestly my favourite generation easily, i am biased as a 2010 kpop fan

No MBLAQ or HISTORY🥹🥹🥹🥹

I was a K-pop Stan since I was 6 years old and I probably didn’t know that it was K-pop. But I knew these some of these songs!

“I will not be judged by a wiener dog” THAT SHIT TOOK ME OOOUUUUUTTTTT 😭

WONDERLAAAND and pirate king and SAY MY NAME??? ICONIC!!

My old ass practically witnessed all of these "iconic"moments in real time 🤣😅...call me Halmeoni 👵💕

They did pretty good, but missed a lot of early stuff like s.e.s. and fin.k.l and Lee Hyori. 1st generation girlgroup icons.

All twice songs are iconic tbh but idk if you’ve seen the what is love music video but it is definitely original lol they didn’t just recreate pulp fiction they did multiple love stories because of the song name “what is love”

A diehard Shawol here from the US! SHINee will always be ICONIC and RELEVANT!!!! 💎💎💎💎💎 Oh, and Ring Ding Dong was also a banned song in S. Korea!

.... I KNOW ALL i feel so old

oh you have got to watch produce 101/41/x performances some are iconic in a funny or a good way.

This Love should have been a longer clip, and to be honest not a fan of BlackPink(I don't hate them)just not to my taste but I think Kill This Love was one of their best songs I honestly don't get why everyone seems to think it's ddu du ddu du

NO PLS I DIED WHEN HE SAID ''TAEMIN EW.'' NO PLS STAWPPPP HHAHAAHHAHAH 12:10

I wanted to write why jay park is not here and then I realized that he is hip-hop

so glad btob slid in at the last minute... troll kings forever

I got into Kpop by Wonder girls Nobody but in the year 2009

The fact that I know all of these songs! 😅 And that I actually was into kpop since Suju, Big Bang & wonder girls debuted, I feel blessed 🙌

NU'EST face should be there too..

the way i was waiting the whole video for DNA by bts to start playing bc that song IS SO ICONIC FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS

seb please please do some reactions to wannaone, ioi and iz*one, they’re from produce 101 39:55

not knowing troublemaker, calling hyuna hi-yuna, and it kind of seemed like you were unfamiliar with 4minute...i am hurt. 😭 lol it's fine, just makes me feel old as someone whose been listening since 09. can't wait to see you get farther in your kpop education 😄

yk the least you could do is link the og creator.

You are so fucking based for loving Dingga, one of the best Mamamoo songs ever and always forgotten for WHAT

Where is FACE by NU'EST 😞

im a little bit sad akmu was not included.

5:18 well song be hitting and them being a$$ has nothing to do with it we just be vibing 😂

Fun time capsule! Though it's always a shock to find a kpop stan who's never listened to Good Boy - this song plus Crooked are my most overplayed GD songs

I WASNT READY FOR THE “Taemin Eww” IM DYING AT 4 am

You're psychic! You said I wonder if Ateez will be in this and they showed up. Then you said no IU in this video? and BAM there she is! LOL

They missed crayon pop🤧

way back home is my ultimate tour song

I’m so confused why there’s no Zico 😭😭🙌

It's like I went through time lol But I'm so glad to see AB6IX and CIX here! Excellent groups indeed~

I am in Kpop since 2009 ❤

Speaking of 2012 and Big Bang...Fantastic Baby was the first kpop song to reach 100 million views. ik. It seems like such a small thing now lol. But I remember it happening cause I've been listening to kpop since 2009-2010

SEB WHERES THE PD101 CONTENT…IOI, WANNA ONE, IZ*ONE, X1✨✨🥰❤️🤭🫶🥰✨😭
