Here's the funny thing...."I GOT A BOY" grew on me...It's been stuck in my head. I realize that these 2 songs may not be their best songs or show off their vocals the most. So I will be looking into GIRLS GENERATION in the future here. Thanks for all of your kind (and not so kind) comments!

Sir Austin, it would be amazing if you consider listening to Taeyeon's song "I", she has an MV of it; her voice is amazing and beautiful ~~ In addition to that, Taeyeon's song "UR" is one of the best songs ever because of her high notes, really worth seeing uwu. Have a great day ~~

Hello Sir. Ok I'm not mad, I'm just laughing right now. Bcoz Girls' Generation are known to have the best vocalist in kpop girl group but you say they're bad 😂🤣😂 I won't blame you tho bcoz those song you listen too, are kinda hard to listen who's who and what. But... Ok here the thing, in SNSD there's the main vocalist obviously and then there's the main dancers who "air quote" might not be the best but still can sing. Idk if I'm just bias bcoz u know I grew up with this girls and I love them but, ur the coach and I'm just me.

I remember GG being a trendsetter every time they had a comeback. "IGAB" was one of their biggest twists in the kpop industry back then (but to be honest every comeback from them was a twist lol)

They HAVE vocals, believe me. Besides of being the nation's group of Korea, her leader Taeyeon is one of the best vocalist and succesful solo female artist now. I don't know if GG it's your style in general xD but If you want to try it again, I suggest "The Boys", "Mr. Mr." and "Dancing Queen". Also they have "TTS" (Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun) which it's a sub-unit more focus on vocals, their debut with "Twinkle" is sooooo good, I highly recommend it. Great video, I didn't hate you!!

I guess you just had to be around at the time when this was all brand new and no one was doing it. I think most female idols now will say that it was them who made them want to become idols. I think you should try “Into the New World” which every new gg has covered in their career and “Gee” produced by the founders of HFE. Their most recent song “Lil Touch” by Oh! GG features the 5 members who renewed their contracts w/ SM ent. Now that I think of it, it was them who brought me out of my 6 yr hiatus which then made me find DC and here I am again. So thanks GG.

Look up Taeyeon's live performance of her song 'Fine.' she is their leader and a soloist now and is absolutely fantastic. Also thanks for being honest about your opinion of the songs! Girls Gen were the 2nd Generation of KPOP during a time when they were still setting up what KPOP would be. So everything they did was pretty new to Korea and helped establish what came after

Girl's generation or SNSD is a powerful and unique group because every comeback song they release they change their style a lot. They don't stick to one style. One of their very famous song is The Boys, into the new world (debut song better watch live stage), Gee (the song that make bubblegum pop sooo popular and cute concept which what Twice is doing until they change their concept and sound bit by bit), Lion Heart (renaissance old fashion glamour concept), Party (summer concept and beach) and many more. There are 9 members but Jessica is out from SNSD but to us Sones she is 9 in our hearts. SNSD is also the OG title of National Girl group and still is. They are also a rounded group meaning excel in vocal ever since debut (you can watch the live performance or show of Into the New World and they use hand mic instead of the usual ear mic), excel in dancing, concept, live performance, charisma and shape the beauty standard of kpop. SNSD along with Mamamoo and Dreamcatcher are my hard core group they are very well rounded. Gfriend is also good with dancing and singing but I am still not a hardcore fans of them just casual listener.

the one you said you liked her voice, that's Taeyeon. She definitely has excellent vocals and one of the top in the industry imo. I'm still amazed at how a small frame like her can produce such a big voice. You should definitely check out her solo works and 100% you'll be able to appreciate her voice more.

SNSD's debut song "Into the new World" is pretty iconic TBH, pretty much every girl group has probably covered/learned that song or "Gee" either during their training days or for special performances. DreamCatcher did a cover performance of "Into the New World" too! I think you should react to both the regular "into the new world" and their live Ballad version. 2nd gen groups often didn't keep to one concept, they switched it up a lot. SNSD did everything from sexy to cute from bright poppy sound to emotional ballads and everything in between. They're not called "nation's girl group for nothing. There's not words to describe how much of a legend these girls are. If you think they sound "typical' or "standard" that's probably because they're the ones who set it xD. These girls really helped change the game in Kpop. they're very well respected in the industry. They became like the textbook for girl groups today. Don't worry if you don't like them. Everyone has different taste.

sir we feel you..that's our reaction the first time they released this song..we're like " WTH IS HAPPENING" lol

IGAB was definitely experimental. When the song came out, it was really popular to have a song with very extreme switchups and genre changes but GG took it to another level. A lot of fans even had a hard time accepting the song at first when it was released (including me) so your reaction is not a surprise. Girl’s generation had a lot of different song styles and concepts over the years and many of their title tracks were very different from the next. I personally like Mr. Mr. or You think more. Since you are a vocal teacher, i think the only member whose vocals would impress u is Girls Generation’s leader Taeyeon. She has songs that i think stand the test of time unlike her groups’ title songs. She has some really great solo songs like “I” “U R” and “Fine” but i think she sounds even better live than on CD. The rest of the members have good vocals too but Taeyeon is miles above the rest of the girls. I hope people dont flame me because i still like the entire group.

Of all the songs on SNSD (Girl's Generation), those are 2 that I would not recommend to meet the group. Personally I recommend "The Boys" and "Time Machine" (it has a very long intro, the song starts at 1:40, but it's my favorite). Also, one of my Bias is Taeyeon and I recommend her MV's: I (feat. Verbal Jint), Fine, Rain, Spark and I Got Love.

Hello I am Sones and Insomnia thanks for checking out Girls Generation and Dreamcatcher!!

It's been so long since I've heard these songs. GOSH THE MEMORIES!!!! Those years are the best years of Kpop PERIODT

I understand why you'd think these songs were strange or "all over the place" or "confusing" or "basic" But when Genie came out, there weren't many songs like it. Also IGAB is an experimental song, it's all over the place for a reason

I appreciate your honesty! These songs aren’t their best. You really have to hear them live to appreciate them.

you reacted to a song from early 2013 and another one from early 2010. as someone who has dreamcatcher & girls’ generation as my two favorite groups in all of kpop, I definitely recommend you listen to their releases from 2014 onwards! their last album (holiday night) especially has some gorgeous vocals in those bsides. considering you do value vocals quite a lot I also recommend checking out TTS (their first subunit with Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun) because they’ve got the 3 best voices in the group so obviously their work is all based on using those gorgeous voices. the girl you pointed out in Genie is Taeyeon and she has one of the best voices in kpop, her solo stuff is also fantastic. oh and I saw you were confused on twitter when someone asked you about the number of members that were in the group in the songs you reacted to so let me clarify - girls’ generation started as 9, one member left in 2014 and now they’re 8! 3 of the 8 members left their company and after that they debuted a subunit with the remaining 5 members in said company, but everyone has clarified that they still remain a group of 8 and will eventually try to get together again. as of now, everyone is working on their solo careers and rooting for one another, which I think is awesome 😊 these girls are insanely talented! please don’t give up on them lol

You need to watch their mv "The Boys", Tayeon's high note in that song was perfect and also she's one of the best vocalists in kpop

Personnaly I did not stan Girls Generation (GG or SNSD for So Nyeo Shi Dae in Korean). But as you said it was a 2nd generation kpop group from the biggest (still a BIG3 💲💲💲) Kpop company SM entertainment and they set some kind of standard in the industry at the time. Koreans loved this group so so so much at the time. Boys/men went crazy about them and all girly girls wanted to be like them. 😱 Not sure about the military uniforms in "Genie" but maybe it was because SNSD was so popular with soldiers. In South Korea, men are required to go do their military services for at least two years. And at some point, once a year some girl groups were invited to perform for them. So I guess, it was kind of a fan service choice. I might be totally wrong though. IMHO their best vocalists were Taeyeon (the one you said was saving the song and who is probably the most popular as a solo artist nowadays), Seohyun (their maknae), Jessica (who left the group at some point), Tiffany and probably Sunny. The others did not have many lines and were not really helped by their company... 😒 Their usual sound is more girly/generic pop like "Genie". IMHO, for "I Got a Boy" (and some other hip hop songs), SMent wanted to replicate the hype for 2NE1 which had a girl crush concept with hip hop mashed up EDM sound (my Blackjack heart is still bleeding and crying about 2NE1 disbandment 😭😭😭😭). Even if someone did not like SNSD, as a Kpop lover you could not avoid them. I do think their most iconic tracks are "Gee" (the producers are the ones who founded Happyface entertainment and wanted to have Minx...), "Mr Taxi" and "Run Devil Run". You should check their song "Into the New World" as well but maybe to compare with the cover by Dreamcatcher. 😘

The best thing to do with SNSD is to watch there MVs in order from debut to recent and see the evolution and growth of the group! SNSD are the most influential/legendary girl group in Kpop! They are Korea’s National Girl Group! THEY PAVED THE WAY FOR ALL GIRL GROUPS!

OMG SOSHI. They used to be my ult group, and there's so much heartbreak involved ;-; I agree that IGAB is a whole mess but I vibed hard with it as a kid XD I'm actually surprised that 'The Boys' wasn't recommended instead. Definitely also check out Kim Taeyeon if you want to hear more of her vocals. She's one of the best vocalists in the industry ugh. A whole queen. For suggestions, I really loved 'All My Love Is For You' growing up. It's from their Japanese album.

“I don’t think it aged well” lol, word. I love GG but I Got A Boy is a mess. The baby voiced girl - Sunny - can actually sing (though a little rough around the edges...but since I grew up with punk, that kinda works for me more than perfection) but always got pushed into disgustingly cutesy voices, especially on title tracks. Which was always disappointing. I think you’d enjoy their later stuff more. Lil’ Touch and All Night especially.

Little did we know Sir Austin was going to be the biggest S♥️NE in youtube

GG are the most iconic group ever, they literally started it all in terms of big intense stanning and concepts in kpop ❤️ I definitely would say listen to their debut!! It’s incredible! And their most recent stuff like Little Touch, Party and You Think 😊 And TTS (a sub group) has the best vocals of the group and their songs are amazing. Taeyeon is the best kpop vocal ever, her solos are to die for! And yes, they were very ahead of their time and still are killing it! They started lots of trends and most recent kpop idols always point to them as a reference. Edit: I get that they might not be your style, that’s normal, not everyone likes everything 😊 but I’d definitely say look at some of their other stuff, those two songs (although I adore them) are some of their biggest hits in the whole career but they are quite old now and some of their most experimental stuff.

Genie is probably my favorite song from GG. I LOVE the freaking song.

We know the songs are funky but they’re so iconic and powerful that everything they release becomes a hit. Also a lot of younger girl groups look up to girls generation and have probably covered their song “into the new world” at least once in their life like dreamcatcher, twice, red velvet, every glow. It’s just known in the industry that girl group’s like to cover into the new world or know the dance

Girls' Generation has done many styles and concepts so you won't get bored listening to them if you give 'em an opportunity. They have go for cute, girlcrush, mature, sexy¿?, retro, and more concepts...I'm just in love with them. They're my fav girlgroup of all times and forever will be. Great reaction 💗

GIRLS GENERATION NATION'S GIRL GROUP! Their vocal line (Taeyeon, Jessica (former member), Tiffany, Seohyun, Sunny) is top 3 among girl groups and their Main vocalist (Taeyeon) is one of the best if not the best vocalist in Kpop. Many Kpop groups nowadays look up to them, they are a super big senior and super well respected :) Please check out more of Taeyeon and Tiffany solo work too!

I Got A Boy changes so much that your reaction was expected hahahah In my opinion this is one of the most creatives songs I've heard in k-pop and their debut song is also great and very special!

I see Dreamcatcher and Girls’ Generation, my two ultimate groups, i press the like button for sure. Btw, please react more to our leader KING Taeyeon💕

Thanks for this... I'm happy now 😁

Fact: korea legendary nation girl group. Their live performance of Genie in helipad is the highest tv rating 17.2 % in tv music core history and they still hold it till now. I got a boy is known as k-pop bohemian rhapsody and it won a KZread award. Girls Generation are known to be the queen of concept cause they did a lot of concept throughout their careers. From cutie to sexy concept depends on their age.

I Got a Boy had so many switch ups due to the concept of the song - they wanted to do something different and the song was made to showcase a story rather than an actual song 💕 It was about the whole process of getting a boy and then losing them, hence the genre changes to mimic the moods of chasing after a guy, the whole process of it ❤️

Girls Generation is really the OG QUEENS OF GIRL GROUP

austin: this is chaotic and over the place also austin: bopping to the song yep. i love ur reactions.

You need live performance of genie for the best experience

Girl's Generation is a LEGENDARY group, I got into kpop because of them. They debuted in 2007! So keep that in mind when you listen to their debut song, which is a great song but does sound old school. There are two live ballad versions of this song, one with OT9 and another with OT8, both are amazing. Genie is one of my favourite tracks but their discography is huge, super varied and their japanese discography is amazing as well. Other than Into the New World, I think you will like Lion Heart, All night, Mr Mr, Hoot, One last time. From their japanese tracks, I recommend Karma Butterfly, The great escape and their ballads Time Machine, All my love is for you, Indestructible and Divine. Their subunit TTS is focused on vocals, their songs Holler, Adrenaline and Twinkle are awesome. Then you can listen to their solos, there are amazing vocalists in this group: Taeyeon: I, Four seasons, 11:11, Make me love you, etc (every single song is great) Jessica: Fly, Wonderland, Summer Storm, Dancing on the Moon Tiffany: I just wanna dance, Heartbreak Hotel, Magnetic Moon Seohyun: Don't Say No, Magic Yuri: Into You

IGAB is one of those SM Entertainment brainstorming songs. There were like 8 producers involved and the song was written within a day or something bizarre like that. Exo's Wolf and, to a lesser degree, Red Velvet's Zimzalabim have a similar messy vibe going on.

Ill be looking forward on your new SNSD reaction

Omg. I just watched your reaction on RV's Happiness and Psycho and I suggested on your comment section to react on GG's Genie and IGAB but you already reacted on it 😂 The Nation's Girl Group and The Trendsetter. Each member of GG is really a good singer. You definitely need to watch their live performances! React on GG's Into The New World MV and Into The New World live in Tokyo Dome. You will never regret knowing GG 😭

You should definitely check out their MV for "Mr Mr", "The Boys" the vocals and style should suit your taste better than the two you watched. Please also check out Taeyeon's solo MVs, especially "I", "Fine", "Why", "Spark". She is the leader and main vocal of SNSD/Girls Generation, and the one you said you liked her vocals :) Jessica (the one who said "bring it back to 140") was also a main vocal, and Sunny, Seohyun and Tiffany are solid lead vocalists as well. There's definitely better MVs/Bsides that would let you hear their vocals more, so I hope you don't give up on Girls Generation :) They have great live performances, for example "Into The New World" (their debut song) in ballad version etc

If we're suggesting throwbacks, 2NE1's song "Clap Your Hands" was the first MV I ever saw of KPOP. It was my door to this KPOP world in 2010, and I happened upon it by chance. Someone I used to know posted it on their FB wall. Although it's far from my favorite 2NE1 song. Miss A debuted around the same time I got into KPOP, and they were my favorite group until Mamamoo claimed that number 1 spot for me in 2016. It worked out, because the last MV Miss A did was "Only You" in 2015. I know Mamamoo debuted in 2014, but I was busy with university at the time and didn't catch wind of them until 2016. Either way, for me it feels as if I didn't have to directly compare them. Just a transition from 2nd gen to 3rd gen. Also, T-ara, Brown Eyed Girls, and Wonder Girls are all worth looking into. "Abracadabra" by Brown Eyed Girls is an extremely iconic song. "Nobody" by Wonder Girls broke into the Billboard top 100 in 2010, setting trends for KPOP into the western market before the craze that came after with BTS and Blackpink. And T-ara just has so many bops.

Their song 'The boys' is so nice!! Waaaaaoow welcome

I love your reactions a lott

I got a boy was a grower for me. Once I familiarized myself with the song, I was down for its chaoticness and it didn’t take me by surprise. I always love seeing people’s reaction to it. You NEED to listen to Into the New World, and Mr. Mr. for vocals. Also check out Taeyeon’s solo stuff! She is SO good!

I love how your channel is like "I believe in girl group supremacy" . I think we need more and more people giving atention to female artists, the boy groups are often seen as more important, so thank you for that. About Girls Generation, I like Gee, Lion Heart and I especially like a sub unit (TTS - Tiffany, Taeyeon and Seohyun) song: Twinkle.

I prefer girl groups for sure. ❤️

Ahahaha omg this made me so nostalgic! 💕 I didn't realise how much K-pop has developed until watching your reaction! 😂

Omg this reaction to I Got a Boy is so amazing. Definitely how I felt when I first listened but it does grow on you (like you said). What a chaotic song 🤣🤣🤣

In the Kpop industry Girl's Generation is basically the mothers of all the girl groups they were the trend setters and were one of the first girl group to ever beat boy groups on sales and charts and getting prestigious awards , and I GOT A BOY was known as the Kpop version of Bohemian Rhapsody.. You should react to Mr. Mr or any TTS songs

I saw both iconic songs and i clicked YAAAASSSS

The editing is beautiful 😂

Even as a Sone my reaction to I Got A Boy was 'WTF'? but then it was growing on me, i love the song, but i avoid igab when i have headache

Fun fact about I Got A Boy, the song is known as The Bohemian Rhapsody of Kpop

I remember when I first listened to I got a boy, it's a trainwreck but the more you listen to it, you go more with it and get used to the weird ass transitions, i love the song now, iconic chaotic

SNSD is the reason i got into kpop. I was in fifth grade which was.. 10 years ago LOL IM SO OLD. I'm so happy you got that 140 bpm! It also refers to that exact part at 1:40 of the song. Another fun fact IGAB was made in 15 minutes lol, it was the start of experimental Kpop wave.

(sorry i meant it was written in 15 minutes lol, not made) Btw no worries if you dont like them! I had the same reaction when IGAB first came on new year 2013 like, wtf is this where are you taking me??!! 😂😂😂 But then i grew to love the song so much and it was such a big hit

Girls' Generation is literally the golden standard for Kpop girlgroups. Vocals, dancing, visuals....you name it, they have it. They've done all concepts there is, ranging from cutesy to sexy, and they're also known for their awesome LIVE vocals while performing. BTW, you just watched IGAB, the Bohemian Rhapsody of Kpop, and it is the ONLY girlgroup song that made it into Billboard's list of 100 songs that defined the decade. The group's main vocalist, Taeyeon, is universally acclaimed as one of Kpop's best singers and their main dancer, Hyoyeon, is also widely regarded as the best female dancer in Kpop history.

I loved when you asked "Is this their style the whole time?" during I got a boy cause its not even their style the whole song hahaha. that song changes so much.

im glad the mean comments didnt put you off them. cant wait to go through all your reactions!!!!

I felt like you too when I first listened to I Got a Boy, but after listening to it quite a few times I found the song was fun to listen to and I’m still loving it :)

Bring back to 140 is in reference to the BPM as you Noted and The Time Stamp. GG are Queens of Different Concepts and Genres. They did Cute in their early days and moved more towards Sofisticated Mature Girl Crush/Sexy side or a Combination thereof. I Gotta Boy Is The Quintessential Cornucopia Mash Up of Concepts/Genres showing GG's Versatility and came out mid 2010's. My favorite Genie Mv is the Roof Top Version. Also if you want to see Cute more like Twice GG you should React to Gee, which I'm surprised it wasn't one of the first MV's for SNSD that you reacted to. Most persons exposure to GG/SNSD's and also It used to be for K-Pop and particularly Girl Groups in General was to Gee. Girls Generation didn't earn the Title The Nations Girl Group for Nothing You Know. Also like Dreamcatcher (and others) they Had their Trials. GG has in their History perhaps one of worst instances of Hate in K-Pop History when they suffered the Notorious Black Ocean Incident. Thankfully They Overcame that trial and became one of the Most Popular and beloved Girl Groups in K-Pop History. Today in many K-Pop Companies its Mandatory as part of training for trainees to learn GG Song(s) and Choreography, particularly Gee which is considered the Epitome and Gold Standard of the Cute Concept for K-Pop Girl Groups.

To be fair, their songs didn't usually focus on powerhouse vocals because that wasn't their concept. Their songs were mostly mainstream, sing-a-long earworms with a catchy dance. They were also all over talk shows, variety shows, and dramas, where they were just the right balance of cute, funny, and relatable. That's why they were the nation's girl group from 2008- 2016 (From Gee era all the way until Twice took over with TT). As others have said, check out Taeyeon's solo discography if you want vocals for days. I know you like that retro funky vibe so I'd recommend "Something New." Cheers

This is Nation Girl Group They’re Legends of Kpop industry every groups in present respects them so much.

Well, Girls' Generation is actually one of the best groups out there in terms of vocals. Also, if you actually followed Girls' Generation from the start, its kinda hard to like newer groups because the standard they set is way too high. Their live vocals are no joke. They belong to the era where lip singing is not allowed in live stages.

Would recommend (main vocalist) Taeyeon’s “Fine”!

the song i got a boy was in that weird kpop era : weird song composition, weird outfits + makeup + hairstyle, very colorful : 2010s kpop haha. tbh i prefer this era of kpop bc everything was so experimental and producers tried so many stuff before what we have today. they took a lot of risks, many hits and misses but it was so much fun! but it's kinda hard to digest when you first see this i agree. you should react to more 2nd gen kpop groups, it's going to be ... weird. other girls generation song suggestion and one of my favs songs of them : into the new world, run devil run, the boys, gee some old songs : - super junior : sorry sorry, bonamana, mr simple + super junior KRY : 한 사람만을 The one I love + super junior m : super girl (chinese version) - bigbang : lies, haru haru, fantastic baby, monster - t-ara: sexy love, roly poly, lovey dovey (zombie ver) - 4minute : volume up, hate, crazy - HyunA : ice cream, change, bubble pop, red - F(x) : hot summer, electrick shock, la cha ta, nu abo - Wonder girls : like this, tell me, irony, nobody - SHINee : lucifer, sherlock - 2ne1 : i am the best, hate you, come back home can't nobody, fire - Beast : fiction, breathe, - mblaq : oh yeah, this is war, smoky girl, mona lisa, - nu'est - face - vixx - voodoo doll - wonder boyz - tarzan - ss501 - love like this - younique unit - maxstep - toppdogg - arario - cnblue - i'm sorry - t.o.p - doom dada - g-dragon - coup d'état - secret : madonna - brown eyed girl - abracadabra - b.a.p : one shot, warrior - tvxq : mirotic - trouble maker : trouble maker, now, - orange caramel : catallena - bock b : nillili mambo, nalina there's so much more like sistar, miss a, 2pm, 2am, Ailee, IU, but i think that's enough for now haha. as a second gen fan, i hope you'll find something you'll like in this long ass list

Girls’ Generation and MAMAMOO = best kpop vocal groups of all time (not just main vocals who’s doing the job)

snsd’s best songs for me were Hoot, Gee, The Boys, Run Devil Run

Fact: their live performance of Genie in helipad is the highest tv rating 17.2 % in tv music core history and they still hold it till now. I got a boy is known as k-pop bohemian rhapsody and it won a KZread award. Girls Generation are known to be the queen of concept cause they did a lot of concept throughout their careers. From cutie to sexy concept depends on their age.

Its funny because „Genie“ is one of my fave songs from them😂 „Catch me if you can“ and „you think“ are really nice :D

Mr. Mr. is a must listen IMO. That's a better representation of them that is less dated and shows the group at one of their highest peaks - more mature, more musically interesting, and better developed vocally as a group.

You know what's iconic with Girls' Generation? whenever they announce their comeback other idol groups delay their comebacks just not to compete with Girls' Generation in music charts because they know wouldn't stand a chance. 😂 Girls' Generation are not only record breaker but also history maker. They are the 1st of everything. If we're just being a honest, Girls' Generation are really the one who paved the way for KPOP. If Girls' Generation would have a comeback now, the whole kpop world will turn upside down especially if it's gonna be an ot9.

they have tried all of concept that exist and slayed all of them and only girls' generation who can do that, this is our nation's girl group and no one can replace them, not even close

If you’re expecting them to be girly and cutesy like twice, react to gee 😍 the most iconic and legendary song + mv

These girls are legends

SM entertainment is a company that tried on so many experimental songs. Red Velvet is their new group which they are still trying to experiment on [Happiness, Ice cream cake,Zimzalabim, etc]. But before RV there was Girl's Generation, their diamond. However, as SNSD's popularity grew, SM never stops experimenting. I Got A Boy was one of those songs. If you look into the process of how SM make songs, you will see that they let many music producers, lyricists, top-liners pitch at each other until they think a pair-up/group project would make a great song, then they would pick those people and get them to create a song together. Back when I Got A Boy was released, I was surprised with how the song seemed to change in style ever so often, but it did stuck in my head and it was so iconic to its age. There are many other great/iconic Kpop songs that if you have just heard the song for the first time today, you wouldn't understand why it was so popular. But if you have experienced its debut, it was another story!

They have so much more amazing songs! I hope you can react to them.

Hi^^ I'm a new subscriber!! Did you react to Psycho by Red Velvet??

GG the OG's!

For me, Girls Generation’s songs are mostly bops. For any new Kpop fan that had never seen GG/SNSD, I would recommend to check out The Boys, Mr Mr, Express 999 (live concert ver, we all know that one where Taeyeon power-walked while belting the high note: legendary moment), You Think, Check (a b-side that’s appealing if you like a more slow and sexy/mature concept) and also the sub unit TTS (consisting of Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun) with their songs Twinkle and Holler. Now, a lot of them actually have their own solo careers, and I would like for you to give a review/thoughts on their music. Also, their concerts are everything. Regarding the reaction, don’t worry about it! I think a lot of people would agree that IGAB isn’t really a good video to watch as a first impression since it’s a bit ‘chaotic’ with the mash of different themes in it and Genie being more of a live performance song (at least, for me.) There are more songs from them that might suit your taste, I hope you’ll find them and give us your input then! Thanks for the video!

He was not ready for I Got A Boy for his firs SNSD listen... This poor soul. But please do more SNSD! Please do their discography! From Into the New World until the subunit comeback with 5 members! Also. Please react to their live performance of Into the New World! The one from their concert (first one without Jessica). It's so powerful and emotional.
