- Students from Wheaton College (IL) perform at annual campus-wide Lunar New Years Festival event celebrating their Korean heritage and paying tribute to the growth of the Korean pop music genre over the course of 20 years.
This is certainly not an exhaustive list for an Evolution video nor a Tribute to Kpop video as it was primarily targeted to share K-pop with a non-Korean college audience and was made for performance purposes only(18-22).

Dat snapback guy just nailed Orange caramel's Catallena, so much feeeels damm
I was laughing sooooo hard hahaha
Kevin Hoang He was so into it, you could tell
Foreal
Yes cx
Yes! I love that dude, whoever he is.
Hi, "snapback guy" here.
I know there are a lot of songs missing. You don't need to point them all out. I've explained myself quite a few times on this comment thread in as respectful a way as possible. This was just a small school performance and not a Kpop tribute. I'm sure many of you actual fans are much more capable in producing a "real" evolution of Kpop on a larger scale with this many people, and if you ever do, please let me know! It would be an honor to watch!
you and your friends did an amazing job. I don't even know why do you bother yourself answering each comment. it's youtube, there will be haters that would dislike any video. I enjoyed it and i'm sure a lot others did
THAT WAS AMAZING
good job man.
I LOVED IT!!! I think u guys killed it with GO CRAZY , hahaha ... so much fun! Diz vid made my day!!! hahahaa
you guys did a great job! i was smiling throughout the whole video :)
The guy with the backwards cap and the plaid shirt was really good. Growl was done perfectly and he reminded me so much of Chanyeol lol
I second that, he was great :)
I agree.
KL Havoc/Pyrex92 SAAAAMMEEEEE
Agree!
Omg!! I was thinking the same thing lol since i have bad eyesight i thought that it actually was Chan Yeol
Can we talk about how in sync they were for Crayon Pop tho?!?!?!
You can tell the dude in the plaid put his heart and soul into it, he was the best. lol
Anika Jade Caswell ikr
The snapback guy was so cute, he made smile whenever he was on stage!!!!
Senait Goshu I knoww~ I may or may not have an Internet crush on this guy LOL
Janice Wong I think we both do!!!!
+Senait Goshu Yo, this guy is the owner of this video, he posted it xDDD
SkyGreen Gaming Really???!!!
Senait Goshu YUS ^^
Screw all the people complaining about whatever gap there is. This was so freaking awesome! I can't even being to imagine the amount of planning, practice, and patience that went into organizing this. I'm currently practicing for a short kpop dance performance and it's so chaotic and hard, so I commend you for doing this so well! It was totally awesome! :]
There is always going to be haters. Don't let them get to you, this was awesome.
*****
Yeah, I totally get you! Oh, DB5K Cassie 5eva AKTF
*****
Yeah definitely! Definite gap, but nicely done. Also, yeah, they probably figured it was best to do the dances they did well, rather than do really hard dances half-assed and/or sloppily.
Why are people so overly defensive about this? Nobody is saying they didn't work hard. Pointing out an obvious over decade long gap is not nit picking. Most of the comments about the gap are still praise. "Great job!" etc.
I think the performance was amazing and entertaining; that's all that matters right? I mean he started from 1994, and ended with 2014. What would he call it: from 1994-1996 to 2007-2014? Of course not. Its tbh, pretty accurate; kpop only really blew up after wonder girls so yea.
Regardless of Kpop blowing up after 2007 doesn't mean that other idols/artists don't deserve to be apart of the certain lists. Even one idol from between the gap would have been nice. His audience also needs to get in touch with some older idols, it isn't always about the "relevant". The video was nice and I enjoyed the dancing, though I just couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
Maybe there should be two videos instead of just one.
chibisasusaku I did not disregard them by any means nor ever say they didnt "deserve" to be a part of these lists. In fact, I have all the respect for them in the world and would venture to say I probably have a better knowledge of kpop from the early 2000s than most as that was the kpop I personally grew up with and came to love. That said, I respectfully ask that you read my posts scattered throughout this page before coming to conclusions. If you expect a Kpop tribute, you will be disappointed. Hence why I make it clear even in the description that this was a very contextualized event that clearly was not intended to be a tribute to any artist in particular, but rather a first glimpse at kpop to our audience from important years in our lives.
I know this is the internet and you are entitled to an opinion, but lets please not disrespect each other over an issue like this. I didn't get paid to make this video so please don't disrespect my song choices. And it's not like all 22 members of this performance missed the fact that there was an 11 year gap either -- on the contrary, it was a very intentional decision so please respect that.
Thank you.
I'm sorry that I'm taking my frustration out on your video. You and others worked very hard on it. I'm just upset after reading comments on why the older generation even matter and that they are irrelevant, on another video. It hits a soft spot when you've been into kpop for a long time. Again, I'm sorry if my comment offended you in any way.
Everyone is so ungrateful. This was not a dance performance that was produced by specific entertainment company for Netizens. It was a simple tribute to Lunar New Year. Goodness, rather than having so many expectations and standards did anyone consider to appreciate how much energy and practice they had to put in despite having a lot schoolwork.
there was a 10 year gap......
TL;DR - This wasn't made as a Kpop tribute, it was a performance to celebrate our culture to Non-Korean college students aged 18-22.
Hi, I'm that guy in the plaid shirt who organized this performance. I know this answer isn't going to satisfy you, but I really did put a lot of work into picking the songs. In the end, even if I wanted to pick one song per year for 20 years, that would have been a very lengthy performance. Obviously I couldn't do that considering there was easily more than one iconic song within every given year. In fact, the years that I listened to kpop the most myself were excluded.
That said, I did a bit of research and honestly, I realized that prior to Tell Me and the spread of its dance culture through the rise of TH-cam in the mid 00's, choreography was aimed at making the star look good. After tell me, Kpop became more dancable, replicable and fan friendly. Also, we tried to highlight the days where most of the audience (who weren't Kpop fans and only like 20% Korean) had actually grown up listening to Kpop -- that comes out to the later 00's and early 10's for current college students. We started with KimGunMo because 1. it was supposedly the song of the decade, and 2. it was a birthyear for many of our participants. Im a senior right now and if i followed my birthyear it would've had to go back to the days of Solid in 1992. & if I had it my way, I would have never left out the days of GOD, NRG, FinKL, Roora, DJ Doc, BOA, Bi, SS501, DBSK, CSJH....and the list goes ever on.
But in the end, we had a time limit of 6 minutes which they graciously let us extend to 8, and we just aimed for songs that were recognizable enough and entertaining enough for our target audience -- non Korean's who we were simply sharing our culture with.
philipjpaek fair enough, although imo u shouldve sneaked in a song from the early 2000s. u guys did a great job nonetheless :) you all looked like you had a great time!
philipjpaek good job guys!!
philipjpaek saying theres not enough time is not applicable. Instead of putting so many songs after 2007, you could have taken some away and sneaked in a few from the early 00s
SoneDiadem Of course I could have. But tell me, what song would you have taken out and what song would you have put in? I narrowed a list of 30 songs down to 14 and it wasn't an easy decision at all. I understand I may have disappointed a lot of people but please try and enjoy the performance for what it was. After all, I'm just a college student, not a professional...
Whoaa... this was so awesome!! I liked how there were a variety of dances ranging from the first generation to the current generation of kpop. The song choices were also very good.
But I feel like some really iconic dances were missed out like TVXQ's Mirotic, Shinee's Lucifer, Kara's Mister, Beast's Fiction, Rain's Bad Boy and other artists like Shinhwa, T-ara, BoA and Girl's Day could've been incorporated. But still, this was amazing and well done for the effort!!
Totally agree with you.
Maybe we can request an evolution of kpop 2? If we ask really nicely. :-D
Maybe they can do a part 2. I am sure they put a lot of work into this and adding more would have been a super big task.
Great...I was hoping for DBSK though since they played such a big part with making kpop popular
I thought they were going to show the popular songs of evey year including hug, balloons, or mirotic by dbsk and I was hoping for aoa and exid but they skipped a few years and very popular songs but it was still good
I though they will at least show 'O' or 'mirotic'
Really though... No DBSK? DBSK made Kpop what it is. There's a reason they are referred to as legends.
I was expecting at least Hug or Mirotic to be in there~ Especially since there was such a huge gap from 1996 to 2007. Hug was 2003~ Really wish that would have been in here...
I was expecting Catch Me because the "Hulk" and "Dragon" dance were so huge. Ah well.
thats was fun to watch, i thought they were going to do EXID up and down at the end.
yes that's what i thought haha
changmin oppa me too EXID up and down is really popular
Only in Korea though and only for the last quarter of 2014, it really didn influence as much as the other songs in this video
i love the orange caramel one the best. :D that was really funny
also i'd love to see more videos of your dancing! you were really good.
+supimdanii yeah that one dude who was dancing had so much energy he looked like he was on crack xD
I Hope Nick Lives it was awesome!
I find it so freaking RUDE of all you who comment and complain about what songs they didn't dance.
Like seriously can't you just understand how much time and work they putted on this performance and say a GOOD JOB instead of being so bitter? Damn...we international fans are pretty rude most of the time..SHAME!
Awe I was hoping to see some T-ara Roly Poly or Lovey Dovey in it but it's alright the choices you chose blended together well.You did great. Also I happened to stumble on this video while scrolling through my FB feed.
Ya Roly Poly, Nonono, Up and down, watch your name, something, electric shock, step, ma boy would be fine ^_^
I was also hoping for Roly Poly or Lovey Dovey!!! Roly Poly defined 2011
grossn123
yes! roly poly & Up&down !!
snapback guy, YOU ROCK!!!!
They did great :) I was a little sad because there was no SHINee. I did notice that the dances became more complicated as time went on.
So much unhelpful criticism in the comments. It's not even directed at me but reading them makes me feel pretty annoyed/frustrated - people are missing the point of this performance and getting mad because there are songs missing, or the title is misleading, blah blah. Let's all read the description and remember that this was created entirely by college students, with no professional backgrounds, who spent their hard work and time to create this piece and perform it so that their audience could learn about & enjoy k-pop as much as they do. They didn't have to upload it to TH-cam, but the organizer did and we should all be thankful that we even got to see their hard work in the first place (or at least I am!) Read the comments of the uploader if you want to know why they chose the songs they did, then sit back and appreciate the show.
Great performance by the way!
I enjoyed this immensely lol XD
Shout out to the guy in the snapback because you killed it, especially during Orange Caramel.
Great job! Although as a child of the 80's and 90's, I feel as though there was a lot that was missed from the 90's! Nevertheless, this was a great idea.
Thank you! A big fan of the 90's as well because of my older siblings, the song list was the hardest choice. But our audience was a multicultural group of college students and the song list had to accommodate the time limit we were given for the event, so many iconic songs were dropped especially from the late 90's and early 00's. (FinKL, NRG, 1TYM, BoA, DBSK, etc.)
We did our research, and Kpop blew up a lot after Tell Me in terms of easy and learnable dance moves which is why we chose songs post-2007 and narrowed our list of about 30 songs to a final 14.
philipjpaek There was a lull in that time between HOT and Wonder Girls. I honestly stopped during that time, and then Wonder Girls and Kara's butt dance brought me back. Boa was really popular during that 00-07 timeframe, but no one else really stands out from that 8 year span.
No butt dance though tsk tsk :) And, poor Danny is probably sad you didn't include "1 Tym 1 TYM for your mind!"
philipjpaek Yes! I was looking for FinKL, BoA and DBSK too! Was a bit surprised when it suddenly went to Tell Me, but hey, I get your situation
This is the cutest thing ever!! I love how that you recognize the evolution kpop has gone through and you guys look like you're having so much fun! I really enjoyed watching this! Im sitting at my desk at work smiling and laughing to myself haha
It's perfect the way it is ^^
This is honestly one of my favorite dance videos. The girl who dances Growl looks so into everything by the end, the girl in the skirt and sweater killed everything she was in, Bar Bar Bar was so in sync, and that ending always makes me smile. Obviously there is so much more that I am not calling attention to, but everything is just perfection. I don't know how many of you dance for your own joy, but this was really well put together and I sincerely love it.
This was awesome. I was really impressed with the enthusiastic dancing from everyone. Especially that guy doing Orange Caramel. Haha.
This missed a lot of good stuff and skipped a lot of years. Where is BoA, g.o.d., Fin.kL, S.E.S., KARA, SISTAR, After School, T-ARA, miss A, infinite, CNBLUE, 2AM, SHINee, and way more artist they missed
CNBlue doesn't dance.They're a vocal group.I would love to see SHINee though.. :/
Anoushik Boghossian SHINee's ring ding dong dance was one of the best in its timeee so sad they missed that and focused so much on the later songs..
David Kim Sherlock is one of the best dance song of SHINee as well!
Omg and Lucifer
they cant out everything there ofc 😒
6:18 that fucking scream omfg I can't I'm-
This was awesome! Brings back fond memories from college. Serious props for coordinating such a big group and performing so many songs. From what I've seen, usually these performances only include a few dances that were popular that year. It's hard work finding time during the semester to practice and it must have been difficult teaching that many people. I know the one time as a non-dancer, I was in charge of putting together a small group for a showcase, the girl who was teaching the dance, covered her face, sighed exasperatedly and sat on the floor in frustration at how much I sucked. Felt real bad for her.
Good to see them showing years' of the best K-pops. thank you guys.
Greetings from Canada.
you guys did a really good job! it must have taken quite a while to practice numerous dances with so many people in one single performance! of course you just can't put all the songs from each year to this performance, but it was a really fun performance to watch and pretty sure will be memorable to everyone who took part there.
also, the orange caramel part X"D
You guys make the dances seem so *easy.* I'm a hip-hop dancer and I can't dance that well to K-pop. Any tips on learning how to dance to K-pop?(for a learner)
Omg! This was just awesome! 😍 so well done! The guy with the snapback and checked shirt was so good!!! 😲😁
You forgot TVXQ Mirotic....
I must be the only one who enjoyed the entire video. Everyone seemed like they worked hard and look at the outcome! The crowd loved you guys!! I could tell you guys had fun from beginning to finish. And that's what its all about right? Having fun and surrounded with the ones you love. Don't be discouraged by the hostility on youtube. Can you believe people come online and watch a video for free and complain? They are just jealous they don't have friends who would put up a fun performance like this. I hope you guys share more whenever you get the chance and spread kpop in a positive manner like this one.👍
And some people say 2pm shouldn't be on the list but alot of guys really liked that song. I myself am not a fan of 2pm but I like it.
Honorable mention: The girl in the center from Tell Me has the attitude of an idol haha.
The center guy from Crayon pop was so cute haha
The guy in Orange Caramel.. I want to hug him
Again, fantastic job! Much love
OMG THIS IS AWEEESOMMMME....THAT ONE GUY USED TO BE IN MY SMALL GROUP HES SOOO COOOOL SOMEONE RECRUIT HIME!!!~~~~~~
Catallena was by far my favourite part. Great job you guys!!
Some observations:
*I totally dislike the fact that you jumped from 1996 to 2007, men that's more than 10 years. What happened between that?
* Also, you picked many songs from recent years.
* I can tell your public was really young people because they get all excited with Big Bang, EXO, etc.
* I've been told that companies used to focus on boyband and there wasn't many girl groups. That isn't reflected in here at all.
* I think you could include a sexy dance, because sexy concepts are a trend now. For example "Something" of Girl's Day would have been great.
Apart that, I totally enjoyed the video.
You did an awesome job putting it together! Especially with so many songs to choose from. XD
Why is everyone so salty?! This was very cute and very awesome, applause!
THIS IS SO GREAAATT!! you guys did an amazing job at this considering the dances are actually crazy hard to learn :) also shout out to the guy with the snapback/plaid shirt !! He was killing it during the whole show especially Catalena lol
That Catallena guy are totally killing it :))
I absolutely loved it!!! Thank you so much for having the courage to perform and post this on the internet! I wish we would have had braver, myself included, souls at my college that would have wanted to do this. I don't know why we didn't think of doing something like this for our Korean night or Lunar New Year. GREAT JOB!!!
a big YESSS!!! for Sorry Sorry!
That was super cool and looked like hell of fun planing this :-)
YG SLAY 2NE1, BIGBANG, PSY AND AKMU!!
I think you guys did a great job! You clearly had fun putting everything together and performing it and there was a nice balance between girl and boy groups from different labels, which isn't always the case with these sort of performances. Catellena and Go Crazy were definitely my favourite parts xD
Wow! Thats pretty amazing
You guys killed it, that was so good. And from the sound of the audience they had a great time. Really excellent job to everyone who was up there!
I really love this XD
This was simply amazing!! The girl in the middle of Tell Me, she knows most of the dance lol and dance really well!!
who's the boy at 6:27? haha he has talent.
A very big applause for all of the dancers here! The effort you all have placed into it make memories! And I'm proud that 'go crazy' been considered and placed into one part of these!
SJ's Sorry Sorry! :D
Lol! You guys were fantastic! Can definitely see that you guys had fun performing and making this. Hope there is an Evolution of Kpop 2! Loved that you ended with AKMU!! Man, ...I feel so old now, Just realized how long ago I watched my first kpop video. 2008 was a good year to find kpop. :-D Hope you post more performances like this!
OMG is it weird I know all the dances but the first two .... I'm not even korean xD
This was a blast to watch. It looks like all of you had fun putting this together and burning the stage. Very well done!
Is this Wheaton College in Massachusetts or in Illinois?
Wheaton College in Illinois
philipjpaek this school have a lot of korean students :-O
philipjpaek whatever this is can i join? i wana daance! everything from 09 on i was like yaassss
I'm super impressed! Great enthusiasm and much better dancing than I could ever do- this video shows how fun kpop is!
Y'all killed it! There are a lot of songs "missing" but hey to try and fit everything in would make it a longer video and probably much harder. Props for getting it done and getting some good songs in there.
This was so cute and made me super happy! They must've worked so hard... Also that guy in the plaid has my respect, awesome.
In love with the guy in the plaid shirt with the cap, his dancing skills, yes! 😻👌
This is absolutely brilliant!!! and everyone was sooo insync and it was evident you guys put lots of effort into this.
So after having watched this video almost 20 times since yesterday, I just had to leave a comment.
I truly loved your performance ! I mean, the songs you picked were really entertaining and cheerful and the dance moves are addictive, and it made me want to jump in the screen to dance with all of you. Each time I watch this, I just have that big smile all over my face. The people who watched it live surely had an awesome mood for the rest of the week !
Thanks for sharing it ~~
Dude! Your video has been shared all over a bunch of korean pages on fb!!! Soooo cooool!! 😍😍😍
You guys killeddd it! :D You were so amazing, and I can imagine how hard it must have been to coordinate that, and to practice the dances for all the songs.
and to the guy with the snapback, since this is your channel, just wanted to say- you were so gooooood!
that was awesome! All of you guys looked like you where having a blast and it showed thru your dance. It was really fun to watch.
also nice job in the choreography.
Great Job, i loved it. I find it weird that some people felt the need to make negative comments when it was all done in fun. You all looked like you had a lot of fun doing this.
Congrats on being featured in an article...i would post the link but doing it on my phone is hard...you srsly nailed catellena doe!! ^_^ giving kpop fan feels since 5evaarr 😂😂😂❤
Wow that was beautiful. The dances were awesome and well coordinated and some of the guys and girls just made it funny just because of facial expression but I smiled throughout the entire thing! There's a Kpop dance group at my school too but we don't have that many people and we're certainly not as well put together as you guys especially because of height differences. Good job! :D
This is FANTASTIC. I can't stop watching it, honestly. And now, i've fallen in love with additional k-pop songs. Love it!!!
and i was hoping for dbsk/tvxq/jyj as well in here..they contributed hugely in the hallyu wave spread out through out the world..
this was great. I love how into it the one guy is. great job. the evolutions are always awesome
Great job at putting all these songs together! I know it was probably extremely difficult to decide which songs to include in your performance. To all those who are saying that you're missing the tribute to a lot of artists.. I say a simple solution is to make a part 2 video :).
I can't stop watching this video!! Great job at the choreography and the overall show.
This was amazing!! You guys killed it, I loved every second!
That was a...wait for it....mazing! Good job to whomever choreographed it and all the dancers of course too! You guys looked like you were having a blast dancing. It was interesting seeing all the popular kpop songs through out the years all incorporated into one performance. Awesome job!
I love this and I think it is perfect just the way it was. Obviously, for the amount of time available I think it was a nice mix with a cute ending. I hope my college experience (or my life in general) ends up with something like this happening.
Wonder job! :)
I go to school with these people! How cool is that?! You guys absolutely KILLED this, and I can't even imagine how much practice it took to get this all together. Congrats on all the cool publicity you've gotten from it, and for over 400K VIEWS!!! It looked like you guys were having a lot of fun. :)
This video did me cry when they were dancing '200%', the emotion, the feels...
I wish I had friends who like Korean music like I do! I would totally want do something like that!! Awesome job :)
Amazing! So well done! (and y'all looked like you were having a blast!)
This was awesome!!!!!! And it was in IL, OMG! Wish I could've seen it in person! Great job guys! :D
That was awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Its funny that the times I've seen Orange Caramel covered its guys who did it best. Good job guys
Omg this is awesome!! thanks for doing this!! and uploading!
this was awesome!! you guys really worked hard to make this possible. Not to forget that making a performance with so many people is always hard!! Pls do not get affected by all the haters saying there are some songs missing and year gaps!! you guys did a good job!!! Now i want to see the choreography and how you guys made this possible! Thanks for the vid and dont forget to keep smiling.
That was awesome!! The energy in this performance was great and it made watching all the more fun!
Woah you did such a good job with this. It was definitely fun to watch, smiled the whole time :D especially during catallena :)
Loved it!!! I was just missing SHINee but hopefully they will make it next time ^^
Thanks for this great video :D You guys were really good ^-^
Amazing job! :D With the amount of time you all had I think you did a great amount of the songs and nailed it too. ^_^ Two thumbs up.
Love it. You all looked like you were having fun. I am a mother in the mid west and I love kpop and not just idols but also many others like Moon Myungjin, The One, Kwill, RAIN even some Jay Parks and Ali also Ailee
Thanks for entertaining us with your video👏👏👏
You guys did an awesome job in just 8 minutes! And "Snapback guy"? haters always gonna hate..just keep dong your thing since you rock..hope there will be a part 2 in the near future..;)
Awesome collection of songs and dances! Your troupe pulled it off super well. :3 I love the different take on Evolution of Dance.
Oh...my...GAWHD! This is one of the coolest preformances I have ever seen! You guys rock! Couldn't wipe the smile of my face! :D
I'm glad for 까탈레나 they used the version where Nana howls :) Nice job!
To the snapback guy, I don't know about what people say but this video is amazing! Had a lot of fun watching this! I appreciate your efforts and would like to thank you! Wish you all the best for future. Seriously the video is superb! And you all are talented!
Ahhhh - this was awesome & cute all at the same time LOL I would have loved to see them do Seo Taiji & the Boys, Shinwa, & DBSK/TVXQ (rather obvious omissions) but still this was really pretty representative & soooo well done!
Great Job!!! Really loved the last song choice!
Gosh, this has to be the cutest thing I've seen all day! I was smiling throughout the video! I loved how all of you looked like you all were having fun. And the guy with the plaid shirt and snapback! Damn, the energy! :P
Good job, guys! ^_^
You guys were freakin awesome! 5:41... Glad you guys covered this song! Still one of my favorite choreo of all times! :) Job well done!
Who cares what they "missed." It was awesome and looked like tons of fun to perform. None of the drama in the comments matters beyond that.
Great job you guys! Definitely enjoyed every second. And great song choices! It really covered the best of each generation well.
Nicely done! Kpop and the hallyu wave was really established in the early 2000s tho with the likes of shinwa and dbsk, boa, etc. You guys should do a part 2 and incorporate them! This is good for "modern kpop" =)
