I accidentally didn’t view Jessica’s profile in the beginning since she was in the “former member” section. That was not intentional, will check out a guide for them in the future. I hope you can enjoy the experience with me, thanks for watching!

"IF I GO BACK TO 1:40" and your face when you realized what they did there 😭😭 had me crying laughing, god i love this song

NOT THE I GOT A BOY TOTAL MENTAL BREAKDOWN 😭😭😭 this is so hilarious imagine THIS back then i love girls generation so much. concept queens for real

Gee made those colorful jeans really really popular in korea lmao it was crazy. it also really cemented their popularity as a group. they were undoubtedly the biggest thing around for years after Gee, literally. Companies would delay their groups' comebacks when SNSD announced one.

BTW, that section of I got a Boy is also 140BPM Also, you gotta react to Genie, low key their best song and probably top 2 biggest along with Gee.

i got a boy was released in january 2013 and was the start of "experimental" kpop! it was extremely controversial since it was the first of its genre at the time, but its thanks to its commercial success that sm really delved deeper into an experimental sound that has become somewhat mainstream recently. also, the bring it back to 140 brought the song back to 140 bpm too LMAO just an extra layer for you to think about. snsd was also known to have no fixed concept! they were the only 2nd gen group to not have a fixed concept, because the selling point for them wasnt necessarily their brand musically but the combination between catchy music and the members themselves and their personal branding. it was IMPOSSIBLE to be korean in the 2010's and not be able to name every single member of the group, each member was a household name. if you want another girl group to deep dive i heavily recommend f(x)! their final 3 albums were masterpieces and all their titles were super fun too. also wonder girls, they were THE girl group in korea at one point (the group sunmi used to be in btw).

Fun fact: 140 is also the tempo of that section of the song. They really thought of everything lol

You got that impression about The Boys's lyrics because the English version actually is about them being hot lol

“Oh!” by snsd is another classic from them that I think you’d like! They killed the cute concepts back in the day ngl and plus they’re super catchy

When The Boys came out, it was the (pretty rare) occasion where people start noticing that GG could do what the boys do (achievement wise). They were the early ones from girl group that could surpass boy groups achievements so the vibe is pretty much like ‘bring the boys out, we aint scared’ or so i got. Sincerely, hardcore sone since 2009

Wait till you discover their Japanese songs 😂

I love this series anthony, I hope you can visit some older groups like SNSD themselves, 2NE1, KARA, Girls Day, or even older like FIN.K.L - boy groups would be nice too! SNSD is just legendary, we can talk about their music and how they can always change their concept but I think the main contribuition made by SNSD to kpop is getting the public approval as THE GROUP in an era dominated by boy groups (with Wonder Girls and Kara)

Girls generation is THE NATIONS GIRL GROUP. they are the most diverse girl group ever. they have the best japanese discography. they to be my ultimate bias group . They were always way ahead of their time both vocal and performance wise. Snsd r legends of k-pop I'm glad you're checking them out😄

Fun fact: The MV for Girls' Generation's "I Got A Boy" was produced by Zanybros the same company that is now representing the Kpop soloist AleXa. In 2013 this video topped the charts and it beat American MVs by Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, etc. for video of the year at the KZfaq video awards. SNSD are "the nation's girl group" and considered queens for a reason. :D They are the girl group, that most other girl groups who came after them are modeled after. Jessica, who is one of the two Korean-American members; Taeyeon who is the leader of SNSD and one of the top female vocalists in Kpop (also one of the most popular female solo artists); and Seohyun were the singers during the ballad breakdown section. As you know, SM is known for their power vocalists, so you will find amazing vocalists like this in all of SM's groups, including boy groups. This was the era when Kpop songs were created to give an equal amount of lines to every member. So, because SNSD has 9 members, this song is longer than a lot of Kpop songs, which gives them time to do a lot of different things in the song. ;P Switching up the beat in Kpop songs is just kind of part of what makes Kpop unique. Case in point, in "I Got a Boy" Jessica literally says, "Lets bring it back to 1-40," which is a reference to switching up the tempo -- changing it from that slower ballad section and bringing the song back to the faster beat. "I Got a Boy" is structured the same way as YG Entertainment's boy group BigBang's song, "Bang Bang Bang," but "Bang Bang Bang" came out in 2015, 2 years later.

Some years ago Taeyeon did the variety Begin Again where they basically have a busking concept and travel and sing (never watched it full but seen many clips) and she sang Gee in the streets of Europe! Seeing fans attend and sing a long, after all of the years since the release of the song, I definitely recommend checking it out (Begin Again Taeyeon Gee). Fans were doing fanchant and even the choreo, Taeyeon's joyful singing, everything was so wholesome!! :")

Also. Gee was dubbed as the song of decade swiping 9 music bank trophies in a row (at that time, a new record). In total 11/12 trophies from music bank ALONE ❤

Thats why GG is the beest group ever, their diversity, creativity, and uniqueness brings out the best in each and every one of them. You should watch them in variety shows when they take care of a baby, or invincible youth, or star golden bell they are hilarious. Thats what made me love them

Bruh, u don't know HOW OBSESSED I was with Mr Mr when it came out 😭 their vocals are AMAZING!!! SM never disappoints with vocals!! Also "You Think" and "Into the new World" are one of my fav main tracks from them. (I LOVE THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS TOO!! Infinite, BAP, and 2pm are quite iconic boy groups. For older girl groups, I was a huge fan of MissA, Kara, AOA, Tara.)

i love how in just 4 videos you managed to hit all the checkboxes for SNSD's brand: the "chanty" choruses (in most if not all their songs, the chorus is sung by all the members, all together) and the leg-choreography (the long legs visual and leg-choreography is an absolute staple in SNSD's discography and you'll notice it in many, many of their videos) also, concerning "I Got a Boy", SNSD set out to make a song with many different genres mixed into one song, so it is supposed to give you a bit of a whiplash lol weirdly enough, I Got a Boy's transitions between beats actually feel very natural if compared to some jarring beat changes/drops you see in kpop nowadays (at least for me). I Got a Boy was also a milestone for kpop in general, seeing as all fandoms came together to vote it video of the year on the 2013 KZfaq Awards, highlighting kpop even more in a time where it was starting to take the global market by the throat.

I'm honestly so glad by oldest sister showed me 2nd gen of kpop, Gee was one of the few songs that first got me into kpop c: Girl's generation is iconic

Girls' Generation introduced me to Kpop. They're truly Legends.

I love that you enjoyed Mr Mr! That song doesn't get the recognition it deserves I'm not overreacting but it's one of the most perfect songs in kpop!! Vocals, melody, dance and concept all are just amazing. 9 years later and I still enjoy it til this day ❤

Watching people hear I Got A Boy for the first time is my absolute favorite

Their direction of music and concept is "iconic"

'I got a Boy' AKA k-pop's Bohemian Rhapsody 🤣🤣🤣 LOL I remember the internet tearing itself apart when this song came out because it was so divisive not only because it was a concept switch for GG but because of the song itself. I appreciate it for its iconicness although I don't actually listen to it.

Girls' Generation will always be my favorite K-pop group ever. It's sad that kids nowadays don't know how iconic these divas are

mr mr was the song that got me in to kpop, i still remember when it came out !!! it’s such a good song, there’s something about that song that still is on my top list till this day

I got a boy was THE song that got me into kpop so long ago. I couldn't believe the nostalgia I felt just now as soon as the song came on. I probably listened to that song like a thousand times no lie.

Jessica was the main vocalist too, her high note in the boys: girls bring the boys out singing 4-5 times making the tone higher and higher; gee - she was harmonising with Taeyeon and doing high note in the end, MR MR - aah huh after Tiffany's high note. All SNSD discography is Taengsic (Taeyeon+ Jessica)vocals + Seohyun, Tiffany and sometimes Sunny. Also in gee Mv they were teens and still young: 17 to 19 years old. They debuted in 2007 when they were 16 to 18 years old...

They have no direction coz they are the directions. Their discography covers all concept its very diverse. They were too ahead of their time! ❤️

Yes, that was Minho. I miss when MVS had cameos, I love this who is this series. You should check out some really older groups like S.E.S, FIN.K.L, Baby V.o.x, The Grace, F(x), KARA, Brown eyed girls. People compare aespa's next level to I got a boy with all the switches, SM has always done these experiemental songs since the 90s.

I would love if you checked out more Girls Generation tracks, if you're enjoying the routines I'd recommend Genie, Catch Me If You Can, Lion Heart, You Think and All Night. Also if you wanted to check out more girl groups from 2nd gen there's Sistar, 2NE1, Wonder Girls, Girls Day. I only really know title tracks from those groups though so I don't have any recommendations

Girls' Generation is the group that the more you watch and listen to them, the more you realize you don't know as much as you thought about them... In a completely good way!

You are witnessing, the Legend of KPop, past beyond Queen status anymore. But a Legend, I repeat. The real National Treasure Girl Group. You witness every aspect from lyric, theme, vocal, dynamic, visual and song distinguish them from every GG during or after their era. Their discography are forever iconic that reminds you to your youth day. A peaceful day where you can be innocent, pure, and playful. Not to mention, their tremendous influence not only one member, but the entire members is well-known before KZfaq era making them indestructible and strongest national GG. This is Girls Generation.

I Got A Boy is an anthology of stories from different girls which is why the sound switches up so much. Also, there are some great SNSD song recommendations in the comments which you should check out but to fully understand the appeal of GG you have to react to their personalities or a funny video compilation, they're HILARIOUS. They're super loud, super bold, they'll say just about anything (perks of being icons), and they're known as variety queens. It's one of the few groups in which each one of them is a household name because they're all individually famous actors and performers.

They are still the best Girl Group for me. They are funny af too. ❤😅

Sunny has talked about her audition process before. Even though she is LSM’s niece, she still had to audition, they’d check her weight just like the other trainees, etc.

SNSD is the living legend korean girl group. Gee is the most successful and played song of Korea of the 2000s, was chosen and named as the song of the decade, was the song that brought the economy of Korea during bankruptcy, colored jeans were a trend throughout Asia thanks to them, Billboard named Gee the best choir of the XXI century for a kpop act, and is within the top 5 of the best songs by a kpop group of all time.

SNSD are iconic in the industry and I still consider them the Queens of Kpop after all these years. Back when I first discovered kpop, SNSD were always dropping bop after bop. It was literally impossible NOT to know their music back then. Not to mention their songs aged really well and I still can listen to them on repeat without being bored. When they released "Forever 1" I was so excited to see them all together again.

PLS DO A PART TWO AND SEE MORE OF THEIR MVS OR LIVE PERFORMANCES they have so many concepts and styles greatest girl group of all time i tell you

7:49 TRX is Teddy Riley Experience. Teddy Riley is an American producer who pretty much invented New Jack Swing. Worked a lot with Michael Jackson in the 1990s, as well as Will Smith and other artists.

I love how 1:40 both refers to the timestamp of the song and the bpm. Very clever haha

When the boys first came out it got so much attention internally and they performed it on a US talk show. First ever Korean kpop group to perform live at a talk show.

SNSD leads me to Kpop since i was a kid, they are my first love at the first sight, now im Blink and Teume, but im not gonna forget them, they are kpop legends also my bias is SEOHYUN if u never heard about her cz she is now active as an actress you can find her in Kdramas, fyi she is the one of the best vocals in SNSD along with Tae and Tiff, she is a smart queen, she’s famous with one of idol with highest IQ, she is also lead dancer, she is pianist (her mom is piano teacher) she also can play guitar n now she is good actor too

The Greatest Girl Group of All Time

Girls generation mis raices 😢😢las amooo mucho todavía

TRX in The Boys means "Teddy Riley Experience". The Boys is a collaboration of SM with Teddy Riley.

That's the thing about GG. No matter what concept they decide to do. They've slayed them all. You should also check out some of their Japanese songs, I would suggest galaxy supernova, divine, and/or indestructible.

I may say that Lee Sooman didn't know Sunny was auditioning in SM, and the staff didn't know she was Lee Sooman's niece either. It wasn't a case of nepotism as many people think

So much nostalgia. I'm Australian but I was living in New Zealand 2008-2010 and in Christchurch they had Arirang TV and I would watch Pops in seoul. I remember Gee Gee being one of those songs that I just found so catchy and helped me get into Kpop.

gee is actually one of the hardest songs in kpop history, i will stand by this as long as I live

The way I always interpreted the lyrics / conversation of the lyrics in "I Got a Boy," Intro: Basically the girls noticing a change. Street scene: Calling her overconfident while she's saying they just want her to be ordinary because they're jealous. 1:40: Talking about how amazing this boy is. Spotlight hits: Self doubt starts creeping into her mind and she starts nitpicking. As well as the friends questioning your own relationships by comparison. 1:40: Pulling herself out of that train of thought by remembering what he's like. Ending: Focusing on the things in the relationship that proves he's a good guy for her.

That's why they're my Queens 👑!!!

"Gee" was released in 2009 -- 2 years after debut -- and it has a pretty simple story. How I interpreter it is the girls are mannequins in a clothing store that come to life after store hours when no one is watching. Kind of like if you have ever seen the 1980s movie called "Mannequin". They all have a crush on the handsome young store manager, who is played by Minho from SHINee. The girls are tired of being trapped in the store and one night they decide to escape. Minho comes back in the morning and discovers that the mannequins are missing, but I guess he isn't too concerned because he is employee of the month and he is on cloud nine because the girls all kissed his picture. There is no deep story there, it's exactly what you see. :D On a side note: SHINee is SNSD's juniors, and they debuted a year after Girls' Generation. As label mates they often are featured in each others' MVs. For example, Jessica, a member of SNSD, also was in SHINee's "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" MV in 2013. "Gee" is one of SNSD's most famous songs and it is probably one of the most well-known Kpop girl group songs of all time. If you ask anyone around the world if they know any Kpop songs, at least one of the songs they will mention, and probably do the dance too, is "Gee." It is so well known that pretty much every group in the industry, both girl groups and boy groups, know this song and dance and probably have even done a cover performance at least once in their career. If you have ever seen boy groups doing girl group dances, then I am sure you have seen them dance to "Gee." It's pretty much the go to song.

10 years later and someone still have the "what is going on?" when he discover I Got A Boy for the first time 😅

You should definitely do a Shinee one!! Our boy Taemin is back from the military and as besties with the GG girls it's only right!!

GGs era for sure, please react more of her, OH, Twinkle, Lion Heart and SEOUL.

Thank you for reacting SNSD!! I'm really happy you found them!!! My recommendations of their early era are Paparazzi / Hoot / Flower Power / Oh! / Galaxy Supernova / Mr. Taxi / Run Devil Run / etc 🤗🥺🙏🏽🌠 My top bias is Yuri but Jessica's stage presence is so crazy! I love Tiffany's smile and her voice! I can't wait for next Reaction for SNSD!!! Thank youuu so much!!!🥺😭👏🔥💕

iconic groups you should check out after snsd is *wonder girls* (they were considered snsd's rivals since they debuted in the same year lol). fun fact, they were the FIRST GIRL group to chart on billboard with "nobody" in 2009! *songs i recommend: tell me, so hot, i feel you, why so lonely* also debuting in the same year is *kara*! they were one of the most popular "groups" headlining the hallyu wave in japan for second gen. alongside snsd/bigbang/etc. they had back to back hits in japan and it all started with "mister". people always considered kara to be more popular in japan compared to snsd than in korea (but they were still a top group even in korea). *songs i recommend: pretty girl, mr, step, pandora, when i move(this is their recent 15th anniversary comeback)*

Amazing reaction! This was so fun!! I hope you continue this series 😆

SNSD's Into The New World, Run Devil Run, Lionheart, and You Think 💕

Keep thinking of Girls Gen., Galaxy Supernova, My Oh My, Catwalk. 3rd Japan Concert has great performance of My Oh My and Catwalk. Also, TaeYeon and Tiffany are first Ship called Taeny. Tons of Taeny videos. So many songs, Japanese concerts are fire!

It's 2023 and Anthony is enjoying SNSD's music. It simply shows how timeless their crafts are. Enjoyed your video and I hope to see more!

loved the reaction! your channel is amazing

You should check Run Devil Run. That song is criminally underrated

You’re right, it was Minho from Shinee at the Gee music video. At the right side of Mr Mr mv, you were also right, it was Hyoyeon. You’re kinda good at remembering faces and names. 🙂

these reactions have been making my day

oh my gosh so glad you checked girls generation out!!! the first kpop group i ever listened to i still have their songs on my ipod from years ago 😭

You can make two more videos of GG: You Think, Lion Heart, Catch me If You Can, Run Devil Run Ginie, Oh!, All Night, Mr Taxi, Forever 1(2022) and the debut > Into the New World.

Forever the best girl group in kpop. You can’t compare

i'm so happy you made this omg my favorite kpop yter reacting to my favorite kpop group

You need to react to their song "paparazzi" and "catch if you can"

Really loving this style of videos

loved this reaction!!

Mr mr video had to be re shot back then, people said SM got problem with the OG director (the official news said the video back up was lost or something) thats why we saw very different scene (the dance scene in the garage/the OG mv, and the hospital scene/ the reshoot). Also the theme is again uplifting. Theyre replacing the man’s heart with the new crystalized one so he becomes the better person.

And that's why Girl's Generation/SNSD will always be THAT girl group😁

Sunny didn't get in cause of her uncle. She actually auditioned under a different name so no one knew who she was. The 140 is also the BPMs

I got a boy was the song that made me obsessed with kpop as a wee lil child XD they gave me confidence and a newfound happiness I never had before tbh

It’s funny seeing new K-pop fans not use to concept changes bc it was a given in 2nd gen each comeback new concept lol but they overall stuck their group concept within the concept changes.

omg i love that you’re diving into girl groups! loved this video and i’m looking forward to the next one 😎 i guess some groups i’d recommend are loona (solo projects), dreamcatcher (i know you’ve seen some of their stuff already but i rlly like them) and as a soloist maybe a deep dive on iu?

Like someone said in the comments, I would dig a Sistar little marathon like that, they were nice

I love this reaction! Thank you!

How about some Sistar which was the group Hyolyn (or sometimes spelled Hyorin) was in

Thoroughly enjoyed this and what a throwback hehe

I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCHHHHH ❤❤❤❤❤❤ keep going king!!

Because you picked the subtitles version of IGAB that you did, you avoided a trap other reactors fall into. The official MV has an extra introduction (a scene in a pink bedroom) that messes up the timing of rewinding to "take it back to" 1m40s, the reference is for the album version of the song which doesn't have that intro. 140 ALSO refers to the BPM of that section!

I love this series I hope it continues

Their concept switch up is what makes them so much fun! They had a really good progression of going from innocent school girl to more mature concepts which is why watching Genie after Gee is a must! Also a little history about Gee. They were supposed to release another song called "Dancing Queen." They had it recorded in 2008 with a video and everything but last minute they changed the concept and released Gee instead and as they say, the rest is history. Four years later in 2012, they made it a pre-released to I Got a Boy. You should watch the Dancing Queen video and see what you can recognize. :) If you want cutesy like Gee you gotta go with Oh! and then follow up with Run Devil Run. Also Kissing You is one of their classic cute songs that they hated at the time. ("Why am I dancing in a mini skirt with a lollipop??" -Hyoyeon) Their retros are amazing-Dancing Queen, Hoot, Lion Heart. Their advertisement songs are fire too-Choclate Love, Visual Dreams plus Galaxy Supernova and Vitamin which were on their albums, but also in ads. Check and All Night are some underrated bops and personal faves. Their ballad catalogue is actually stellar and not as many people react to those. (I rec "All My Love is For You" a Japanese release) Ok so that is all probably overwhelming so to narrow it down, I'd do Genie, Oh, Run Devil Run, and Check (no video, just some music show lives). And since summer is approaching, you should do the summer time queens: Sistar! I am looking forward to your next reactions!

Before twice . We had girls generation. They were like the first 9 member girl group ( hopefully I’m not wrong ). That group introduced me to kpop. The boys English version pop in my recommendation and the rest was history

“Gee” won awards 9 times in a row across different music award shows

Aaaa so thank you so much ❤

I love GIRLS' GENERATION/SNSD 💗 They're the Nation Girl Group of South Korea. They fought so many boy groups back then. They represent girl power through their group name. Girls' Generation are still active for 16 years now and one of the iconic group in kpop. They debuted in 2007 consist of 9 girls in the group. They're now 8 members because the other member (jessica) departed in 2014. Let's not talk about how she left the group (controversial topic and it's all based rumors). 💗So the girls are: • KIM TAEYEON (The kid leader of the group) One of the best vocalist/soloist in kpop rn. Introvert but goofy. She's known as Paper human. • JESSICA (Jung Sooyeon) The og ice princess. She's blunt but kind hearted. She sleep a lot! She has dolphin scream. She has fashion brand called Blanc & Eclare. • SUNNY (Lee Soonkyu) The retired Aegyo Queen. She's also SM's founder(Lee SooMan) niece. Funfact her uncle didn't know that she auditioned and became SNSD member until 3 years after debut when sunny is already famous. She has the sweetest voice in the grp and the sexiest (ofc self claimed). • TIFFANY (Stephanie Young/Hwang Miyoung) The American GF/the english speaker of the group/She's a musical actress/Tv actress, Director and Composer. You will recognized her because of her EYESMILE. She and Sica are the sassy one. • KIM HYOYEON (DJ HYO) She's the dancing queen and also the funniest one in the grp. She has different hair color but mostly she's blonde. • KWON YURI (The dinosaur one) She loves to cook and She's an Actress. She's next to hyoyeon for being funny. She forgot lyrics easily and choreos as well. • CHOI SOOYOUNG (Hair flip is one of her charm) The most savage and brutal. The tallest in the grp. She eats a lot (the shikshin) and She's an Actress too. • IM YOONA (The visual and center of the group) She teased her unnies a lot by her Aegyo. The prankster. She's the first actress in the grp. The original visual(she's the one who invented that position in kpop.) • SEOHYUN (SEO JU-HYUN) Seobaby/the legendary maknae who knows how to play musical instrument. She's very intelligent. She adored her members so much (since she's the only child) She's an Actress. She's the quietest but the most honest. I'm sure you gonna love them especially their characters. They're full of charms and chaos but they love us (S♡NES) so much! 😊 Since you started to THE BOYS, IGAB, GEE and MR MR. Here's their other KR tt songs (not complete): * INTO THE NEW WORLD (meaningful debut song) • GIRLS' GENERATION • BABY BABY • KISSING YOU • WAY TO GO * GENIE • DANCING QUEEN • HOOT • OH • RUN DEVIL RUN • CATCH ME IF YOU CAN • PARTY • LION HEART • YOU THINK • HOLIDAY • ALL NIGHT (clean ver.) Bec the other one is documentary ver. • FOREVER 1 (Their latest comeback 2022) So i just put some of the title tracks, there's a ton of songs nearly 500 but i guess S♡NES (their official fandom. It pronounce as SOWON means Wish) they will help you for the rest including their Japanese discography(I'll tell you that their japanese songs are top tiers), individual solos, sub-unit songs, collab, commercial songs, cover songs, live stages, concerts, and variety shows etc. 💗🙏 But after the korean mvs. I would like you to react on this 2 guides so you can differentiate or remember the names of the members: ‼️A GIRLS' GENERATION GUIDE by Ohwoowoo ‼️A GUIDE TO SNSD - 2022 (0T9) by luxerit

yesssss here for the girl groups!!!!

Anthony, you have no ide how happy this notification made me. I have been petitioning for this since day one😭

Their concept was EVERYTHING. One of the many reasons they'll be forever GOAT'ed. So much variety in the music across all title tracks, b-sides and promo songs. Miss this so much

Omg I really love your reaction 😆❤️

When you go back to 1:40 the bpm of the song also switches back to... 140

Glad you enjoyed all the songs welcome to girls generation❤

IGAB is experimental and fresh, yes, but it's not all new. Some people call it the Bohemian Rhapsody of kpop which certainly holds water, but the whole thing starts to make more sense when you think of it as musical-turned-pop-song and compare it more with the likes of West Side Story. Each time the music shifts, the girls essentially take on a new cast of characters giving their own take on "the situation" as if this were one of the big plot-moving songs near the beginning of a musical.

SNSD are legends hence they are the vocal queens of kpop like how exo their labelmates are the vocal kings. Nothing beats SM vocals.
