Top Ten: Korean Pop Groups (cont. from previous pg.)
SHINee
Members of SHINee include Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Taemin, and Minho. SHINee’s hit single “Lucifer” was probably one of the first Kpop songs I heard. I instantly fell in love with their sound and they are one of two groups I’ve listened to for a long time.
Members of Super Junior include Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kibum, and Kyuhyun. Super Junior was the group that made me think “Now this is a type of music I love!”. Though members have left to go solo or because of the Korean military, I will always have a special place in my heart for this group.
B1A4
Members of B1A4 include Jinyoung, Sandeul, Baro, Gongchan, and CNU. B1A4 is a group that I found only about two months ago. Their music videos, like “What’s Happening?” and “Beautiful Target”, have a very fun and colorful approach to match their lively songs.
Super Junior
2NE1
Members of 2NE1 include Bom, CL, Dara, and Minzy. This is one of the few girl groups that I listen to because they aren’t the real cutesy type of group. Their hit song “I Am the Best” was the song that introduced me to them and I loved the dominating tone of the song.
JJ Project
There are two members to JJ Project and they are JB and Jr. Their song “Bounce” combines hip-hop and rock to make an incredible sound. Though only two members, the group still manages to be one of my favorites.
U-KISS
Members of U-KISS include Soohyun, Kiseop, Eli, AJ, Hoon, Kevin, and Dongho. Without knowing it, UKISS’s song “Neverland” was a song I heard a long time ago. Now that my love for them has rekindled, I had a déjà-vu moment with that song.
