History of K-Pop Boy Groups: 1996 - Present

[MaeRiShawol]

TOUCH ♥♥♥

[THloveus]

Yeah Jinusean!

[Shinjita010]

What's the song singed by Big bang in this video ?

[asiandramasfan]

@Shinjita010 It's "haru haru" :)

[Pommyfrog]

where is B.A.P ? ^^

[APINKFRENCHSUBS]

X-5 ♥♥♥

[Bomiie9]

1TYM <3

[waddleNguin]

what is "relevants" ??

[monetyyful]

in my opinion the best are DBSK(5), JYJ, SHINNE, SS501 and SUJU

[tabythacool]

Idols Princes; 2007 F.T.Island, 2008 SHINee, 2008 2AM, 2008 U-KISS, 2008 2PM, 2009 MBLAQ, 2009 B2ST. These are future legends, after kings. They are strong groups with a range of high and varied talents.

Idols Babies; 2010 ZE:A, 2010 CN Blue, 2010 Infinite, 2010 TEEN TOP, 2011 B1A4, 2011 Boyfriend. They are the cutest things in the world, are talented, but still too young to show everything. Will be the idols of our children, but for now, are still babies who hopefully have a future in KPOP.

[tabythacool]

The important one's:

Beginning of everything; 1996 HOT, 1998 Shinhwa, 1999 Fly To The Sky, 2001 Brown Eyes. These were the reason many young people today know the KPOP, no matter how old they are, they are honored today by the most recent.

Idols Kings, 2003 DBSK, 2005 SS501,2005 Super Junior, 2006 Big Bang. It was these that expand the KPOP out of asia, especially DBSK* and Suju* that are beloved in all continestes. All are kings today and will still continue for a long time.

[cindyrellalovkpop]

since 2009 i think that every korean had a kpop group hahaha im serious i mean a new group debuted every month......

i have to say that DBSK-SUPER JUNIOR-BIG BANG- SS501- SHINEE are the best kpop groups

[LoverholicShawol]

What's the song from k'pop?

[LoverholicShawol]

You know what's crazy? A guy that works at my mall was in the group k-pop. His stage name was Yubin.

[LienBonecrusher]

The best bands I think are the ones that debuted before 2009 (with an exception of; MBLAQ & BEAST for '09, Infinite & Teen Top for '10 & some of the new formed units JYJ & SM the Ballad & M&D )

[tse172991]

[fourarms1543]

[crystalblossomprdctn]

Rofl Kpop went through the 90s just like we did with boy bands :D

[aoifan90]

I got into kpop in 2001 (because of Fly to the Sky and Shinhwa)... and I still like kpop, but it's crazy how much it's changed since then.

[aoifan90]

SHINHWA AND FLY TO THE SKY. Forever the groups that got me into kpop 11 years ago lol.

[TheMRFrozenWaffle]

the old ones are too funny XD

[ghina93]

I liked almost every group with pre-2009 debuts. Its a shame some of them stopped making music :/

[plibbertyplop]

[yaz13928]

some of them already been my true love like Fly to the Sky,Brown Eyes,4Men etc

15:23 and 15:56 was the best part for my opinion, plus i have never heard of some of these groups before

[animeship123]

Dang, I was like so many groups, I only liked the groups starting from Beast to today, especially BLOCKB and B1A4 YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!, they the bomb, and get ready becuz 2012 is going to add like 20+ new boy groups, for example M1/M2, Pledis Boys, or 2THE.O, I can't wait until they debut, whose with me!?!?!?

[jungyunho]

2009 onwards... idk what happened, so many debuted left and right! I dunno most of them anymore... ClickB <3

Anyways, 2003 was the start of a new era..and i think 2012 will be awesome, helllooo shinhwaaaaa

[wieauchimmernun]

[wieauchimmernun]

2003 - DBSK <33

and i dont know any of those groups before them,

[OwwQ]

Funny to see JYJ in 2010 though they actually debuted in 2003.

But forever my five rising gods of the east <3

[TheLilmew]

I love B1A4.... they're really talented... you guys should check them out..

[GDOLCEVITA]

woooooooooo infinite

[shuju]

half of them esp between like 1999-2003 aren't really boy groups or idols... theyre like... BANDS e.g. buzz, or hip hop groups, e.g. epik high, dynamic duo, leessang..... so i dno if they really fit in here.

neway point is. 2003 DBSK marked the start of the new era <3 hot hot hot legends <3

[shuju]

@cutepandaneko: It's Love ya. The fifth album (if I'm not wrong) and the last album working together as a complete band.

[shuju]

@sundaetu all the other bands (so far - im only like 2 min into the vid) seems to be showing their debut songs! why love ya for ss501 ><

[lildr9on]

[TeoSuay]

God even though i am a korean

I really don't know most groups which

Advertising is so important

[tk4jr]

Wow, didn't realize there are so many boy bands debuted this year. How many do u think among them will get fame? Thanks for uploading this. Really interesting to watch.

[fashionmoon]

Where are some of these bands??? They're all so good!

MY BOYS SS501 have my heart though... Kim Hyun joong definitely won my heart!

[jaeesuu]

DBSK♥.

[sakuraforsakura]

Those Blackbeat really reminded me of DBSK!

[jungyunho]

@sakuraforsakura well, SM planned them to be the "next best thing" but didn't work out then a yr after, HELLO TVXQ! lol

[LYN64]

1TYM <3

[dubulge]

Wow... you can really see the evolution of K-Pop. Before it was well known, not many groups at all were debuting. Only a few a year. And nowadays you'll have say 10 groups debut a year. Pretty crazy.

[BieberJustinLOL]

Lots of group debuted in 2011

[Ribskinski]

6:47 Is that Wedding Dress I see? :o

[rodrigueznoelia]

[lovekoticnarak]

2005 super junior^^

[SecretArchangel52]

Honestly - 2010 is my favorite year. ^^

[Shankyxd]

It starts out at a good start, reaches it's peak between 2005-2010, then starts dying out after that. Lololol.

[XXAKUMAXX]

omg. Now i can back to all the kpop songs I grew up with. :D Thanks so much for doing this!

[x501spiritkissme]

SS501, INFINITE And U-KISS ♥

[NalBadajwo]

This video would have been a lot more informative if the groups' debut songs, or at least their songs from the years provided, had been used, just because it would have been easier to see the development of music style. ^^

[saagong]

u shut the fuck up~~

[19ammer]

OMG!!! so many

but I'm ELF and B2UTY he~he~

SUPER JUNIOR and B2ST fighting ^ ^

[IAManIAM20]

2AM <3

[janeybei]

[janeybei]

I don't know if i just didn't notice but seems U-KISS is not featured in the video.

[col826]

@janeybei U-KISS - 10:37 

[clarisse2139]

SHINee <3

[krystalssdream5o1]

06:57 !!! :D SS501 Fighting!!!

[QUACKYQUACKY1]

2000-2007 were probably the best in my opinion hehe.

[angskeet]

@QUACKYQUACKY1 yep, i totally agree!!! then after that, they're okay, but then there starts to be too many boy bands and they all sound similar

[MonkeyBonkers]

LOL you hipsters. Actin' like some of these earlier groups are the zenith of Kpop and that it's all gone downhill since then.

Are we looking at the same neon jumpsuits and hearing the same cheesy '90s U.S. rip-offs? Nigga pleeeeeease.

[p00lman]

Hmm, some of these inclusions are questionable. UV is a boy band? Not really, no.

[p00lman]

CLON!!!!

[JohnPortfolio2010]

I want to be a Kpop boy...

[Chipz1515]

Some of the ones that came out this year I've hardly or never seen them at all.

YESH! I get to start a some new boy band obsessions!!! ^O^

[misaki409]

JYJ+ HoMin = DBSK, THSK, TVXQ !!!! N° 1

[MrMonkeyEunhyuk13]

SUPER JUNOR = DAEBAK!

[laurachan0807]

[dmc0709]

SUPER JUNIOR THE BEST !! SHINEE !!! BIGBANG, F.T ISLAND , SS501 , U-KISS,MBLAQ,BEAST , JYJ,2PM, INFINITE ,B1A4,BOYFRIEND,TEEN TOP ,ZE:A,CNBLUE , M&D THE BEST !!!!!

[ewlilya]

THE GREATEST ONE AND EVER ! DONG BANG SHIN KI !!!! <3

BEEN WAITING THEM FOR ALONG TIME, BROUGHT HALLYU WAVE ,

TVXQ still THE BEST AND HOPING TILL THE END , ~

THANK YOU DBSK ! we proud of you ! I like 2003(DBSK) ,2008(2AM), 2010 (INFINITE AND JYJ)

[rlaeodnjsdmsWKddla]

Where's Shinhwa?

[CassyYuen]

@rlaeodnjsdmsWKddla 2:00

[pammiej85]

@rlaeodnjsdmsWKddla

WTF? I thought maybe I missed it or something but there was no Shinhwa. They're legends. You can't have a list without them.

[matsujunsamba]

@pammiej85 Check the 2 minute mark. They're in bright gold, you can't miss them.

[pammiej85]

@matsujunsamba

THANK YOU!!! I knew I probably missed them. It wasn't until after I watched it the first time that I go "hey, where's Shinhwa??!!" LOL I wish everyone had their debut singles though...

[dmc0709]

HOW CUTE THE TWINS :)) RYANGHYUN RYANGHA :x

[Sapphireine]

@zubo854 Okay.

[dmc0709]

Oh god when I saw NRG I got sad , one of them died so young , 19 years old :-< cute and good boy , they had nice songs :X :(

[x501spiritkissme]

Heck yeah SS501!!!! 

[larkspur1997]

BIG BANG!!!!! STILL ON THE TOP... NUTHIN' BEATS THEM..

[SuperAceguy]

This shows decline of kpop's quality.

In 90', there's too many great kpops.

But, nowdays kpop's boyband sucks.

As a korean, it's a pity

[jungyunho]

@SuperAceguy hmm i have to agree a bit ><

[fuuko4869]

There's a band called K'Pop???!! =_= 4:00

[airlee213]

SHINHWA!! the never ending story~~

[RedxDestiny]

No contest. H.O.T.

[Sapphireine]

DBSK <3 The only one with the power to remain relevant for so long.

[Yerapotter]

DBSK FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

[LoveYaoiHeart]

Meh.. Shoud've used their actually debut song, than their hit song.. :I

[mcdrod96]

Infinite <3

[xxSUPERBEATxx]

I have only listened to kpop for about 2 and a half years, so I have not seen much change out of my own expirience, but I found this video really intresting. I think over all it hasnt changed much, but its still cool to see how it was back then. I wish I got into kpop a lot earlier.

[Mermerin]

OMG SHINee is here AND SM the ballad

i'M SOOOO HAPPY

[elliechocolate]

For me, Kpop is getting worse an worse loool

[TheThinspogirl]

BIGBANG <3
