looking at lee hyori makes me hate how time flies by so fast. i found out about her in Family Outing. shes still beautiful, but not young anymore.....
Wow they said that the old school k pop groups where good but wow i'm blown away. There aren't many groups that can top these girls or the others like H.O.T,1TYM, Shinhwa, S.E.S, and many others.
Why is there some comment about girl s generation in every kpop video ? As much as i love , this is so tiring ... Their fans have to chill out and enjoy other ppl s songs or just get out
why trash snsd? like saying there more real? wtf? so wat they use auto tune they only use it for a few words. Its not a big deal the era of music has changed many artists use it now. Its just like how we started from classical music into music with lyrics etc..
@TheGamer32121 by real i didnt mean autotune LOL I meant, appareance and way of behaving : like i said in another comment : no doll-look, they seem trues, not impossible to approach UNLIKE SNSD , and more like normal pretty korean girls ( NO PLASTIC ^^), and hell, they are cute naturally they're not trying hard, .-and im was not trashing snsd i was telling my opinion to someone who compared fin k.l to snsd ^^next time try to understand before talking.
@Joohyunnie lol for example, if someone is saying facebook is better than myspace then you say, facebook ftw.
Basically means facebook wins over myspace, but in this context it means that old school kpop is better than new kpop. ftw = wins over soemthing else or everything else
I still like AS Blue anyway, they look kinda cute in Wonder Boy and their song are sweet too. AS red is pretty hot too. R you a fan of AS or Fin.K.L??? I just started loving kpop for a year and Fin.K.L is new for me :)
Okay, I don't like this song, their dancing is kind of bad, the video seem boring to me, they're not attractive than today's Kpop idols but somehow they seem better. And no revealing dressing or anything inappropriate so thumbs up for that.
Lee hyori is so cute~ :) and she did not do surgery. Oh and its kinda sad that "NEW" kpop fans did not witness the awesomeness of the era of hot, shinhwa. And more.
I used to be in love with k-pop ever since the era of HOT and Finkl/TTma. I'm also a white American, goes to show how great this music really is. oldschool k-pop ftw <3
90's music everywhere was way better than the bad music nowadays..not that i was in korea in the 90's when i was 4, but in america that was when there was the best music too, and it seems like it was like that too in korea :) 1:15 that girl is really cute! does anyone know how old hyori was here? they say that hyori got surgery but it really doesn't look like it...
she didnt get any surgery, just look at her childhood photos when she was like 5, or her pics from secondairy school, she looked exactly the same, and besides that, the plastic rumor was cleared and proof on TV by Mnet Hyori off the record show.
@TsunaKimchi um..... can you not compare? they practically have nothing in common except that theyre all girls. you dyou need to mention (bash) another group?
@xcakelover i didn't mean to bash anyone, a comment is made to say our opinion and that's what i did, someone was comparing them to SNSD at the time of my comment that's why i quoted them and said my opinion ^^ and you're right they have nothing in common!
@TheGamer32121 ''what the hell?'' like, no doll-look, they seem trues, not impossible to approach, and more like normal pretty korean girls ( NO PLASTIC ^^), and hell, they are cute naturally they're not trying hard , plus theres no effects not too much make up so yeah they are real-lly natural and awesome^^
@eisfield I know they are not in the same group, you don't know : someone compared them at the time i published my comment so i said my opinion : which i prefer and why that's all ^^
but i do think the girl with the powerful voice should of gotten a solo career, she's the most talented out of this girl group she's like the beyonce of this group. :)
do not know this group back then, but reading up on SES i don't know how this group won the daesung award or w/e and not SES i think SES is more talented!

@MegGriffinX Not really. Most mainstream artists in America do rely on songwriters and lyricists. They might write one or two songs but most of their songs are written by someone else. If songwriters weren't so big in America they wouldn't be getting awards during the award shows. And who says kpop artists don't write any songs? Epik High wrote a lot of their songs. YeEun wrote a song for Wonder Girl and some of YG's artists write songs.
@crazyhypergurl BULLSHIT. First you say most mainstreams don't write their own songs? Its still WAY MORE than kpop. TaylorSwift, Kanye, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, Bruno Mars, Kesha, Christina Aguilera, Mary J Blige, Keyshia Cole, Katy Perry, Usher, plus loads of other rappers, rock bands and country artists currently on the billboard hot 100. Even if you are kpop biased, you should know you're wrong on that. American singers have more input in their music than kpop. Its called numbers and facts.
@MegGriffinX No need to feel so offended. Yes, I know that American artists get way more input with their music than Korean artists do but most artists do work with and rely on songwriters on their albums. Even if the songwriter isn't writing every single song or a majority of a certain artist's songs they at least help edit and revise songs. Even Michael Jackson relied on songwriters. Do you know what Thriller sounded like before it was Thriller? It was a song with completely different lyrics.
@crazyhypergurl Im offended because even as someone who listens to kpop, anyone who tries to discredit american music using FALSE assumptions is merely reflecting their own personal preference of kpop.

I dont see how its becoming what US music is now since artists there are still creating their own music like Mariah and Madonna.
@MegGriffinX When I said it's becoming more like US music I meant it has a lot less focus on talent and more focus on looks and autotune abuse. People like Mariah and Madonna are great but I personally believe new American artists like Nicki Minaj, Justin Beiber, Ke$ha, etc. don't have a lot of talent. I go crazy when artists like Usher, Alicia Keys, and John Legend release new music because they have talent but so much of the stuff I hear on the radio now sounds terrible to me.
@crazyhypergurl Totally agree with you. but this happens even when some Kpop artist.. let me take for example Lee Hyori's Solo Carrer compare for example, Stylish E album with It's Hyorish or H-Logic, or with BoA between My Name or Miracle and Hurricane Venus (or even "The Face"). Those albums has a very different sound among themselves 'cause their music aim to different people and generations. Nobody is safe of that :(
They're even cuter than SNSD...and i'm a Sone. :)

@MegGriffinX When I said it's becoming more like US music I meant it has a lot less focus on talent and more focus on looks and autotune abuse. People like Mariah and Madonna are great but I personally believe new American artists like Nicki Minaj, Justin Beiber, Ke$ha, etc. don't have a lot of talent. I go crazy when artists like Usher, Alicia Keys, and John Legend release new music because they have talent but so much of the stuff I hear on the radio now sounds terrible to me.

@crazyhypergurl Totally agree with you. but this happens even when some Kpop artist.. let me take for example Lee Hyori's Solo Carrer compare for example, Stylish E album with It's Hyorish or H-Logic, or with BoA between My Name or Miracle and Hurricane Venus (or even "The Face"). Those albums has a very different sound among themselves 'cause their music aim to different people and generations. Nobody is safe of that :(
