KFANZ NEWS ☑️
1st Generation S.E.S
Although it is in the picture, it is being evaluated as the first idol girl group in Korea.
The group that marked the beginning of all girl group history
Although Baby Vox debuted first, I see SES as the beginning of the first generation.
Groups like Fin.K.l and Shakra made their heyday as a girl group debuted one after another.
Until BLACKPINK, it was unparalleledly number one in single sales, and the beginning of all girl group concepts started with SES.
After that, from the mid-2000s, Jewelry and Sugar became popular at the same time.
A new era of girl groups has begun, with Cheon Sang Ji-hee and Seeya also debuting and taking first place.
The media does not distinguish between the two generations.
2nd Generation Wonder Girls
As a girl group after ses and Fin.K.l., it caused a syndrome in 10 years and opened the doors of the second generation.
Somul played a decisive role in changing the music industry from the era of big idols.
The public imitates idol song choreography, parody, hook song, uncle fan…
It is no exaggeration to say that it has continued until now. In particular, Tell Me is a social phenomenon-level syndrome that is still evaluated as the idol’s biggest hit song.
There are as many first titles as SES, such as the first single grand prize for a girl group, the first annual number one on a girl group music chart, etc.
Also in the second generation, Girls’ Generation and Kara, the final bosses of female idols, debuted in the same year and are tied as one-ka-so.
After that, the crazy girl group craze blows
2NE1, Miss A, 4minute, f(x), Secret, After School and such groups performed well together.
Unusually, in the second generation
, as junior groups such as Apink, Girl’s Day, SISTAR, AOA, EXID, etc.
There has been a generational change.
Apink was originally called the 3rd generation in the press, but now it seems to be referred to as the 2nd generation.
3rd Generation TWICE
her girlfriend, who debuted in the same year, it was evaluated as the beginning of the 3rd generation as it hit all the music charts, physical album charts, and YouTube.
At that time, they changed all the Initial Chodong records that had been maintained for several years, and caused a syndrome as a girl group after a long time due to the Sasha Sha craze.
10 grand prizes, 100 million swimming, a whopping 10 songs. 1st in total album sales of a girl group
In terms of accumulation and volume, they are the most overwhelming among all girl groups. I can say that I am unique in my girl group career.
Groups like GFRIEND, Red Velvet, Mamamoo, and I.O.I also exploded together, further cementing the change of generations.
And then to the final king, Blackpink.
From this point on, as girl groups expanded abroad, album sales exploded like crazy.
BLACKPINK surpassed 1 million copies and set a new record with nearly 2 million copies.
It’s just a world star enough to easily enter the Billboard chart.
4th Generation Aespa
Opinions are still divided about the 4th generation.
(((It is true that the public opinion that the generation changed in earnest was formed when Espa came out last year.))))
Although Neckre did not take first place on the music charts, it was ranked in the top 5 for a year with a super long run and dominated the charts to the extent that it swept the grand prizes such as Melmu Goldie Han Dae-eum.
I have given the AAA or Soribada awards or the grand prize to girl groups, but
It’s been a really long time since TWICE to receive a grand prize at a major awards ceremony that has been around for more than 10 years, such as Melmyu and Goldie Han Dae-eum.
In addition, this year, even Ive recorded chart results close to the syndrome.
Even New Jeans has swept the music charts with their debut album, and is now being recognized as the 4th generation era.
Itzy, who debuted before Espa and rose, but girls are also evaluated as the 4th generation core group.
(Overseas, it is said that Itzy opened the 4th generation)
Knetizens Reactions:
1. Of course, the 4th generation was opened by ESPAGE.. When it came out, no one said it was 4th generation. Later, after it was confirmed that the 4th generation was opened with ESPA, then yes but children are also classified as 4th generation rather than 3rd generation.
2. It’s true that Itzy is the 4th generation and it could be famous if it’s famous.. I think it was Espa who opened the 4th generation door.. I’m an old lady who stopped at the 2nd generation, but I feel like it’s just unplayed in the media lol What the media say. The media puts the word “open” for every idol that comes out during a downturn and drags them into aggression lol
3. It worked well enough, but it feels like the end of the 3rd generation rather than the 4th generation opening
4. If Itzy is going to open the 4th generation, shouldn’t the 3rd generation girlfriend also have to open the 3rd generation? As soon as my girlfriend came out, I heard that the songs went well in a row, but actually, this place took first place in the music industry (I do not deny that they are both 3rd and 4th generation respectively. Considering that they only claim to have opened 4th generation)
5. I think there is a “group” that opened the 4th generation. And speaking of representative groups, Ive, New Jeans
6. 2nd Generation Moon Yeonge Won Girl Tellmage This is a song that changed the music scene, so there is no difference of opinion.
7. The 4th generation article has been published since Itzy, but those who don’t know it must not have read the article.
8. Itzy is 4th generation…? It’s the 3rd generation…
9. It is true that Soshi succeeded, but it was the Wonder Girls who opened the door…
10. I think the 4th generation was the first to wear it when it debuted.
