Gee is so iconic and such a hit, the song won for 9 straight weeks in Music Bank, 1 trophy per member. And Gee is the reason why everyone was wearing colored skinny jeans and high heels back in 2009-2010.
"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. As you can see, there is no deep story there, it's exactly what you see. :D On a side note: SHINee had only debuted a year before this MV was released, 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. And Minho is literally one of all the SNSD members' favorite boys. There are compilation videos that show all the girls just doting on him and Minho acting like a gentleman or a little brother to the members. "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.
I think that Minho is probably still SNSD's favourite little brother after all these years. I was decidedly not into SNSD at this point (too young and cute at this stage) but I still can't help the massive wave of nostalgia that comes with this song
Simon not recognising his SHINee bias lol Minho was very baby back then! They debuted in 2007 and had a full album already but this was their huge breakout hit! This is for sure one of their songs that is least to your taste but it was such a key moment in kpop history that it feels like it needs to be experienced at least once
8:56 well this is from a time before GD went crazy with hair colours and infected the rest of the industry too 😂 the wildest coloured hair was blonde and even then there were barely any blondes. Pre-2013/14 kpop MVs and styling was very specific.
Fun fact: Taeyeon hates many of their cute concept songs, especially this one, but they all end up becoming super popular. So it kinda became an in joke that if Taeyeon really hates a song, it'll probably become a mega hit 🤣
New Jeans would be the current representative heirs of the fresh-faced natural look like this. Illit as well. In between Girl's Gen and New Jeans one could maybe place the earlier Twice videos and Gfriend.
New Jeans and Illit (?) Kinda have the "young normal but pretty teenager girls" look, but funnily enough, this meme of "gen z doesn't have a side part anymore-that's so millenial" is really visible here Like same vibes, truly different generations
god i hate this song... it always gets stuck in my head for days after i for some reason think about it 😂 it's iconic as f, but soo not my style of music... or MV, for that matter

I'm so hype for Throwback Thursdays! Getting into 1st-2nd gen (and other early 3rd gen) on the channel is going to be so fun!
They are so good they don't just do cute concepts they do everything, Concept Queens
THE ICONS THEMSELVES GIRLS GENERATION. you need to do more, they have literally done EVERY concept known to man
This song was named greatest song in K-pop history by Rolling Stones magazine for a reason. I’m glad we will be seeing more throwbacks and more SNSD

This is one of the most covered songs at that time by girl groups AND boy groups 😁
Taeyeon hated this song and really didn't want to do it. However it become the most popular song and the most memed song.

Hyoyeon is in the group and she does indeed start with a H
