If there's a person who came here just to see one artist, the person's missing a lot. This documentaries can be used for all kpop fans to learn more and to know more
@@SI-xe6gl a lot of people said they only came here for taeyong
@@SI-xe6gl this is true and as a korean i feel so insulted with this lack of research documentary it’s too one sided and lacked so many details in kpop starting from seo taiji lol that was already a big let down for me they weren’t thorough with the research
YESSSSS PREAACCHH
@@antukinann1070 can u share what's missing? I don't know much so I'm genuinely curious what was lacking in this.
@@antukinann1070 i 2nd the motion
Bruh the comments section so toxic , everyone's talking about their faves. As for me I'll be appreciating all of the idols involved in this documentary. They deserve all the recognition for their hardwork no matter what company they're from
Who's Idol's? Your Idol's or everyone else's Idol's?
@@christopherreilly5339 An idol, in fandom culture in South Korea, refers to a celebrity working in the field of K-pop, either as a member of a group or as a solo act.
So many Kpop OGs were in this. Love it.
I thought I have to point this out myself tf even though I'm a multi fan especially to Girls Generation and Twice but dudes you have to accept and respect this artists they just don't know how to APPRECIATE the others I'm glad you point this out
It’s not about them tho no one’s insulting those groups we’re mostly disappointed for the lack of research there were groups that weren’t even included like bigbang 2pm etc those groups paved the way too and they are one of the most legendary kpop groups here in korea they didn’t even intruded the top3 ent i mean if you’re going to be one sided at least put the title as “sm ents revolution in kpop” that would’ve been understood but this? It’s insulting to the kpop fans how one sided this documentary is i love sm artists no offense but it’s too lacking in research specially in seo taiji seriously
I appreciate how this documentary went back to the 60s and the early stages of Korean music before we got to the birth of kpop. It’s also a history lesson.
The fact it does is the reason I am using this video as a reference for my humanities paper on culture, expression, etc. The one night I probably spent past 1am watching this is finally paying off.
why is no one taking about how yg’s former ceo was one of the members of seo taiji and boys. Like he started K-POP.
Cause all people to know that the CEOS of the big 3 and not only the big3 but other companies too all of them were or are idols. That technically common sense.
Umm because most kpop already know this i gueas
The producer of Seotaiji and boys was Seotaiji .... but YG was just a dancer.
YG couldn't even meet Seotaiji until he finished producing.....
... did you watch the video lol? Did you sit here and watch this beautifully put together documentary and see how kpop arose out of decades of political and social turmoil, yet still decide to sit there and attribute it to a single person at a single moment LOL
17:15 " Korean pop music is divided into 'before' and 'after' the debut of Seo Tajin and the Boys. " imagine being that impactful in music history
are you sure their boyz..🤣
@@Seawhaleorgonite No, they're men
@@cloddiehoppers fair enough I was just joking because alot of K-pop seemed to get infiltrated by the trans agenda.

Sandara Park was HUGE in the Philippines before she became a KPOP star (2NE1) that led to a lot of Filipinos being curious about KPOP. 2NE1 was a game changer.
Agree!
oh yeah i def agree
I super agreeeeee
agree!! pinoy fan here..
So trueee
I hope that people would stop hating kpop without a reason just because they sing in Korean and lame excuse such as boys wearing make up. Let's appreciate the hard work every idol has put into this.
Preach.
Word!
i despise their industry model. too many unecessary rules, too restrictive, it's like to be enslaved with golden chains. and, some of their fanbase is too militant to the point that it's very unhealthy, delusional mob.

The fact that the first shift in korean music style was rock bands and now there's barely any bands in kpop🥲
same thing happened in the west also
@@pionvoya8584 Not true. There are still many many bands in the US
@@racheldarmawangsa9589 yes but are they as famous as pop artists tho?
There are bands in Korea but not playing what people would call "kpop"
@@pionvoya8584 I guess pop is more popular than rock nowadays but I still prefer rock over pop any day of my life.
For people who don’t know, Yang Hyunsuk was a member of Seo Taiji and the boys, that later founded YG entertainment and created Bigbang, 2ne1, Blackpink, Winner, Ikon and Treasure.
Fun FYI for you young’ns, YG had no money to start his own label. So Lee Ha Neul, a rapper, from DJ DOC(OG rap group in K-hiphop scene) let YG borrow the money he needed. Basically he’s one of the founders of now a gigantic label YG. So Lee gets few thousand bucks every month from YG. Lee just goes around Korea and Japan and fish all the time. He doesn’t need to work for money.
They're gonna know soon. That info is in the next episode.
Therefore it is a joke that the top poster said it is SM that started it.
Don’t they know who’s the first idol group?
ICONIC HONESTLY
@@jpopfan1991 he's the brains though

Funny how the comment section is littered with idol stans and company stans debating. It's so kpop. Not even talking about the documentary itself. Bet it will be wilder on the coming episodes...😊
Kpop is not called the most toxic community without a reason u know :)
"Being unable to do music made us lose the will to live" You can feel his pain through his voice and tears in his eyes as he said that. Long live K-Pop!!!
SM ENTERTAINMENT AND SM ARTISTS are the pioneers of kpop and you just have to accept it. Such a high quality artists!
FACT
True!
I'm your 100th like. 100% agree!!!
ofcourse
@UC3JKPQoMcYZjEH3HnZDgU1gthe first company to have their artists dye their hairs. tbh Kpop isn't Kpop without SME
kpop isn't just about your bias. all Korean people contribute to advancing kpop, all the artists are also working hard. for kpop fandom, it is better if we respect each other's artists and fans, stop the fandom wars.
yes LOUDER!
Uhuh, we can support our idols without feeling the most superior and underestimating others. If you love your idols, just love them with all of your heart, and respect others.
Yessssss
Fandom wars are old as kpop so get use to it. Personally i think the downfall of kpop globally will come from the fandoms.
And not just Koreans, fans all over the world and people who literally just listened to one song once.
People like to give YG a bad name for being an "irrelevant boomer who treats artists poorly" when the reality is often far from it. He was a part of K-pop history. Seo Taiji and the boys success is the reason your faves even exist.
I agree with you!!!!
true thisss i gotta admit if it wasnt for old kpop or bigbang we wouldn't have what we have now
Love him or hate him, you can't deny that YG compensates their artists very well. Always a 50/50 share, unlike the other big companies.
I think that's only part of why they hate him, I mean besides that they would probably acknowledge his impact on kpop. Doesn't change their feelings on him tho.
@rarity it's mostly because fans hold him responsible for any mistreatment YG artists receive. No one thinks about the fact that there are several people behind YGE who have as much power as he does if not more. He might be the biggest shareholder of the company, but that doesn't mean he's in control of everything. He's usually not directly involved with the artists. Same with JYPE, there's a separate division that manages TWICE so JYP himself has nothing to do with their activities. He only works with their discography
As a 13 yrs kpop stan this is so refreshing watch. Group SOLID, basically opened the genre kpop in South Korea and then, Seo Taiji, came and changed everything.... Other kpop stans MUST appreciate the old kpop groups because without them, their idols wouldn't be here
Omg im 13 too lol
it's wrong ... seotaiji = 1992, SOLID = 1993... This video was edited incorrectly. (Even SOLID turned to Kpop in 1995)
@@magicsgames2223 she meant she’s been a fan for 13 years lol
I'm 13 too and I'm obsessed with 1st gen rn, I have a BoA marathon and I'm planning to listen to all of her songs.
@@radimgabaj4263 BoA is very underrated though! People need to appreciate her more 😕
IN SUMMARY :
evolution of the pop music starts from revolution in politics and society
I mean music is always influenced by society
@@a.m4520 society is influenced by music. music is influenced by record executives and promoters.
Every part of any countries culture comes from their History
@@chrishayes5755 either music influenced by society or society influenced by music is correct I thought 😂
in summary: slave labour
When I say, SM's supremacy in Kpop is so huge this is what I mean. You can't see any videos talking about Kpop without SM Artists. Admit it or not, but SM Ent. started the Kpop and now we're enjoying it so much.
yessss!!! say it LOUDER for the ppl in the back
so true, I wish younger fans will acknowledge that fact.
I like all SM Artists
@@srlawas5059 I wish tho, but they got blinded.
Facts
This is some really interesting stuff, I never really knew about the Kpop background so this is really cool to learn. The history of Kpop goes really deep and I am sorry for those who had to suffer but you guys didn't give up and it was defiantly worth the fight, thank you for not giving up and letting younger generations enjoy your talent and your hard work.
I only knew YG as a "rapper" back in the old days just like his artists always say haha, but I didn't not know he is a big BIG part of kpop evolution. I salute you sir!

Exo?
@@misssarah5433 seriously people are forgetting EXO? How??
I was a 14 year old Korean kid living in a small rural town in the States when H.O.T. debuted (a bit delayed because I had to wait for the pirated vhs tape from the Korean grocery store 😆), and I remember the moment so clearly - it was so new and thrilling and different. I also remember when Seo Taiji debuted (I was ten years old!) and my mind was totally blown then too. Even me, with little contact with other Koreans as a youth, knew Korea was changing based on the music alone. The birth and discovery of kpop saved me. Nineties kpop was the best. ❤️🇰🇷
머리 염색만큼 운동에 시간을 보내면 살아있는 가장 강한 사람이 될 것입니다.
It's interesting how you were struck by H.O.T. and Seo Taiji despite living in the country whose music influenced 90s kpop :)
Bruh, why are people talking about their faves here. I am here just appreciting each and everyone being called.
Who cares
@@darkstoneX24 Yeah, I care.
Seo Taiji is really special because he is not just special in terms of music, but he has completely changed the Korean music industry. The concept of comeback comes from Seo Taiji. Before there was a concept of comeback, the singer didn't have any special authority, but Seo Taiji didn't want to do it. He wanted a cycle of making songs with plenty of rest, working for some time, relaxing and making songs. That's why I did it, but it was possible because it was Seo Tai-ji, and after that, everyone followed suit and became a culture.
Super Junior is the example of the evolution of k-pop over the years. It´s the best group for mi because is has kept the mayority of the members, demonstrating the union and commitment to ELF´s. The other groups are important for their fandoms, too.
Periodt
Proud to be an ELF 💙
PhElf here 🥺
I love Super Junior
What about there problematic past
i've been into kpop for 11yrs now and if you told me 10yrs ago that kpop was going to be mainstream i would had laugh at you and never believe it , but here we are today
I first got introduced to kpop by Rain and Boa. Started following Girls Generation from The Boys era. As an Asian Australian, you weren't considered cool or edgy if you listened to any sort of kpop, cpop music, as most of my friends were into either electronic or rnb music. Guess who is having the last laugh now 🙃
Once people got tired of USA boy and girl pop groups they moved on to Kpop because it’s just better.
Yuck
@@VasistaP-rw4kf It's not new if it's been popular in the east and south east asia region in the 90s
kpop isn't mainstream yet tho.....
"Sometimes, I just wanted to faint so I could fall asleep" please that broke my heart
I literally came here tolearn more about K-POP since im a fan, but it seems like many came here because of their faves...
I guess that's one of the main reason most people watch anything, a person they like is featured in 😅
Everyone in the comments is talking about their faves but not a single person mentioned how the interviewed artists revealed so much about the industry.
Yasss. this documentary revealed a lot of things deeply and widely without takes one side. I watch it to add my knowledges not to make my bias looks superior
trueee like I was hoping the comment section would be filled with discussions about like the industry itself but ofc this is youtube after all
Thought the same.
Same thoughts. How are they even able to finish the video if they're only here for their faves.
"Our Fans are a constant source of strength for us"- Baekhyun, the million seller sololist.
As expected from my Exo boys, they value their fans the most. Where there is Exo, there is Exo-ls.
Next episode 🙄
@@rebekablackwoodWhat's the matter?
This first episode is great because it is set in a time before any kpop companies existed. The artists directly interviewed or featured are Key Boys from the 60s, JinJoo Lee, DJ Soulscape, Lee Kisang, CLON, Jae Chong (Solid) and ends with a feature about Seo Taiji. NONE of these are with any of the current kpop management companies so that is nice to see.
YHS the founder of YG was part of Soetaiji and boys and you can literally see him several times on this video. There are also features with some YG artists there.
@@sonnyrayEveryone knows YG was a member of Seo Taiji and Boys. But at the time of the events shown in this episode YG had not formed his company yet. The only YG artist actually interviewed in this episode is Danny Im from 1TYM and he is also speaking about the early 90s period before YG and other current companies existed. So the original comment is accurate because the events covered in this episode all occurred before current kpop companies existed and none of the artists actually interviewed (not just shown briefly) are currently with a kpop management company.
When I saw that Key Boys was featured first in this, I immediately know Jinjoo would be included in this.
Not the guitarist having war flashbacks...damn a legend he is
The comment section is basically kpop fans trying to assert that their faves are the best. Like, this is talking abt the start of it all and most of you can’t just sit back to watch without yapping your traps.
Thank you for saying this.
theyre pissed that sm lied abt this
@@goat5208 lied about what exactly? SM is shitty but why deny the impact that they've had on the history of kpop. Why is that taken as such an offense??
I have no idea what this stuff is, but anyone here arguing over comments cares too much about likes and numbers like just listen to the music you like and be happy with yourself..
@@pebblepabble554 they are upset that the group lied about getting on grammy when they couldn't even get on billboard, that's what I'm seeing in the comments
Not an SM stan but I can definitely say that Kang Seulgi is the Ace of K-Pop. She's a talented singer, dancer, performer, model. Y'all need to stan because she's a queen.
SEULGI Queen of being Queen.
Yesss😪👍✨
Agree 101%. Seulgi is truly amazing. 😊 I'm amazed everytime she performs on stage... It's like she owns the stage.

Exactly 💁🏻
I see no lies.
True
say it louder
I love how they've interviewed the artists themselves. After all, it's their stories that I want to hear! I'm so proud of them.
I've been a fan of k-pop for years but I learned so much in this video!! Everyone who shared their story was delightful to listen to 💞
Kpop is an incredible but ruthless industry. The amount of work idols put in is insane.
Seo Taiji and Boys' legacy continued through YG himself and passed on to the YG artists. And from the YG artists, especially G-Dragon, influenced the whole K-pop industry.
Truue! can't believe that old geezer was this legendary. No wonder he also wants his artists to be that kind of legendary.
And now, with Blackpink, it's influencing overseas.
Thanks YT ,I got to know the real origin of korean music.. Though I'm an EXOL since 2013 who love all SM Artists. I wanna say kpop stans please give respect to the legends who struggled to build kpop.
Exactly
I agree with you completely. I'm an EXO-L too and all the new grps won't be who they're today without their seniors. So huge respect to those who started this K-pop music
who is EXO-l?
@@Aa-jz4vk here no one mentioned the word "EXO" but we mentioned "EXO-L". Then how did you come up with that word? I'm pretty sure you know who they're
@@exo-lfromindia112 I don't know what you think I said but you are wrong and if in fact I do know EXO and I like some of their songs
I think the K-Pop group that started the widespread of K-pop into global was the Wonder Girls then 2NE1 after that followed up by PSY which now everyone in the world knows what is K-pop is.
they definitely did not, knowone knows who wonder girls and 2ne1 is, we everyone thought PSY was North Korean or Chinese
Actually it was BTS for people to know what kpop
Lmao. The Wonder Girls went on a world tour with the Jonas Brothers. Girls Generation performed on U.S. national TV like David Letterman and Live with Regis. BigBang had sold out arena tours in the U.S. (I was at their concert in Las Vegas) and the world before anyone knew who BTS were. This is the problem with new kpop fans. The lack of knowledge and disrespect.
18:53 is that YHS? The ex CEO of YG Entertainment? Damn he looks.....young lol. Anyways, bow down to him peasants because love or hate him, he and his bandmates were the ones who introduced the "new kpop" that we all know today.
Yes it's him
Whole section about him and YG Ent in the next episode
very true
1:21 SuperM has never been nominated for grammy...

I was born in 2001 and got into kpop in 2012. I can brag about knowing a lot, cause I really think I do, but only from the second half of the 2° generation and there forward. Now seeing all the things musicians had to go through in the '60s-'80s got me like "Mate I know nothing!"
Seo Taiji and the boys performances heavily remind me of the r&b and hip-hop group in the US in the 90s. Its undeniable the impact of these black genres globally.

ACE OF KPOP KANG SEULGI!
About half a year ago I was wondering why K-Pop suddenldy became so popular international and why people listen to songs they can't understand? I couldn't relate and I kept saying to people that I don't like K-Pop. Thinking back, it's very sad because at that time I have never really heard a K-Pop song or knew anything about the groups, I simply never gave them a chance.
Around New Years I saw an interview of a K-Pop boygroup and thought that they were really funny so I kept searching up different interviews and got introduced to many other popular groups.
Today I'm listening to K-Pop songs or watch TH-cam-clips nearly on a daily basis. I love their Variety Shows because they are all super funny. The K-Pop Industry provides many different type of contents and they produce great music too!
I hope that more people world wide learn to like K-Pop because else they are totally missing out! This documentary is very interesting and I'm sure it will bring some people into this kind of music.
I am always so fascinated by these kinds of documentaries. Love that they're doing this series!

YESS
Kang Seulgi is the Ace of K-Pop! 🙂💖😍
Agree. SEULGI and NCT are the Aces of this new generation of K-Pop. 🙂💛💖
Seo Taiji and Boys were even more influential than many people realize. A lot of people credit them as being the birth of modern KPOP, but they did a lot more than that. They were the birth of KPOP making its way overseas. Many older KPOP fans in the U.S. were introduced to Korean music due to them. Chuli and Miae deserve some credit for that, too.
Seo Taiji and the boys got so familiar to me after I watched Reply 1994. The teen that day was extremely crazy about them. In Reply 1994, we knew a Yun Jin who was really in love with them.

I really appreciate this doc including the social and political turmoil and history around the inception of Korean rock. I not only find it very interesting and love learning about it but I feel like a lot of kpop fans need to know more about Korea's history and their struggle, to know the artists themselves and their current culture. Many wouldn't go out of their way to research it, so to get a clear picture of it with accessible language is great
This document series is made by the same people who did the history of heavy metal series as well.
I am only in 20s but I listened to Kpop since its 80s since I really love Kpop. After listening to Kpop from 80s to current, I can say that Kpop has its originality due to Seo Tae Ji's influence. Kpop is really different before and after this remarkable musician, Seo Tae Ji.
You mean has its originality in black Americans...
It's strange how if a black artists [or Americans really] copied Koreans they would get called out but when kpop as a whole copies black culture they never give credit or ever collab with black artists or even really any acknowledgement. It's really disturbing actually 😐
And maybe it was different before most people had internet access but in this day in age they can't pretend they don't notice. I can't believe Korea is going to pretend they invented these styles.
An excellent in-depth analysis of the Korean Wave and K-Pop phenomenon ! Excellent work!!

머리 염색만큼 운동에 시간을 보내면 살아있는 가장 강한 사람이 될 것입니다.
I love this, there's always something new about the korean music scene that I tend to learn ^^
actually there's more in the Korean music scene than just the typical kpop
The one who started Korean Pop is the real LEGEND! period! Thank you for introducing to us the most vulnerable and the most inspiring genre of all times.
Yes If it wasn’t for Seo Taji and the Boys and all of the other groups from the 90s we wouldn’t have BTS, BlackPink, etc etc etc etc
TAEYONG AHHHH OUR PRIDE . HERE I AM
The pillar!!
The King

SNSD shaped kpop and weren’t “generic”. I Got A Boy alone caused a huge shift in music
I still know every dance step to genie and gee omg
Huh? Did I miss the part where SNSD was mentioned in the vid...
@@kairilyn yeah, I don't know where it was mentioned, can you give me the time?
@@kairilyn I think it's in the first episode, but you'd need youtube premium
@JamieJunes genie and gee might seem generic to you, but I live in the philippines and didn't have internet at that time yet the song and dance was known by everyone. Gee - snsd, tell me - wonder girls, sorry sorry - super junior is what started the kpop craze in my country and we're one of the biggest kpop markets today.
I was watching at a x2 speed but then when the Seo Taji part started I am like, wait! what's this?? So they still have this jawdropping effect, after 30 years!!
papa YG together with seo taiji & the boys is really the breakthrough
I'm here for The Genius Artist Lee Taeyong
Same here
same he's and ace and king of kpop
Same
