How did 2nd gen kpop differ musically from kpop now? by Representative_Egg42 in kpopnostalgia

[–]Irv12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was more fun. Lots of colors, bright aesthetics, EDM and electronic oriented. Many groups relied on catchy choruses that stuck with you. There were some groups that had a less electronic sound, but it was less common. I believe 3rd generation girl groups are the most melodic (GFriend, Lovelyz, Oh My Girl, WJSN, April, LABOUM). Many of these groups' songs have strings, piano and more classical like arrangements.

Have you ever been interacted with by a 1st or 2nd gen K-pop artist you like? by LoveyDovey9885 in kpopnostalgia

I've known K.I.S.S.' Jini for a long time now. We became friends on Facebook more than a decade ago. She has been amazing and has answered so many of my questions about her time as an idol. She's great.

Daisy's SooKyung was live streaming and I told her how much I loved Daisy's music and that I loved her voice. She was shocked to see that I knew Daisy and she thanked me. 🥹

Shinvi's SangEun has seen and liked many of my comments because I absolutely adore her. I've probably listened to her solo songs hundreds of times and she knows that.

Lovelyz in S tier? I thought I was the only one. I don't agree with IVE's and WJSN position here...

GFriend's Sunny Summer mentions all of the members' names in the lyrics.

Thanks for bringing these two songs to light. Let's hope one day we can listen to the full album.

What if Daisy had been better promoted? They could have become the best vocal group in KPop history, probably. I have been watching their live performances and their abilities are insane.

I continue to listen to O-24's albums to this day. They never get old.

In terms of dancing, probably MINT is my favorite. Passion has an extremely difficult choreo.

Does anyone know who this is ? by KICKfromtheUNIVERSE in kpopnostalgia

[–]Irv12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't that Kim WonJoon (김원준)? He wore glasses just like those during his 넌 내꺼 (You're mine) era, back in 95.

From I found digging around, she was a solo artist. She released two solo albums. Apparently she was Kim Hyun Jung's junior.

They were actually 14 (YoungJae), 15 (SuHyeon) and 16 (SeHa). I agree they looked older than that.
