K- POP :: RECOMMENDATIONS
DIA RECOMMENDS

Might bore you out with this one if you don't like old songs.
(Dates might not be specific!)

Order is from my least to most fave.
I have more but I could only put my top 10.
This includes one main song and 1-3 bonus songs from each group.

1O :: Roo'Ra - 3!4! (1996) (Co-Ed)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

- The era bro. This song is just so good.

FUN FACT :: You might recognize Lee Sangmin if you watch Men on a Mission/ Ask Us Anything/ Knowing Bros. Legit that show has 100 names.

BONUS :: +1 Roo'Ra

Angel Without Wings - It's like 3!4!. My feel good song.

O9 :: Fin.K.L - To My Boyfriend (1998) (GG)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

- Took me a while to pick a main song. They have multiple AMAZING songs!

FUN FACT :: This was Lee Hyori's group.

BONUS :: +2 Fin.K.L

Now - That hot smexy song.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Time of Mask - I could seriously name a whole list.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

O8 :: S.E.S. - I'm Your Girl (1997) (GG)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

- Enjoy! It's so mf good.

FUN FACT :: SM remastered the MV finally!!

+ I am not recommending Dreams Come True here. (If you didn't know that aespa song was also a S.E.S. song then that's on you). I'm here to recommend the ones I enjoy the most. I do like S.E.S.'s DCT, but I like others more.

BONUS :: +2 S.E.S.

Complete Reason - Those sexy vocals omg.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Be Natural - Again just like DCT, if you didn't know Red Velvet's Be Natural was also from S.E.S. then you're lost.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

O7 :: 1TYM - 1TYM (1998) (BG)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

- I already recommended this one I believe, but ofc I have to put it in my list again. If you're up for k-hiphop/ Backstreet Boys vibe, here it is.

FUN FACT :: Producer Teddy from YG was in this group.

BONUS :: +2 1TYM

HOT - The k-hiphop song. Lots of kpop idols of the time make cameos in the vid.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

What's This World For - So mf good. End of discussion. Same album as 1TYM which I believe was their debut album.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

O6 :: Jinusean - Tell Me (1997) (BG - DUO)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

- Legit bop, no more words needed. Debut song I believe.

FUN FACT :: This song is with popular soloist Uhm Jung Hwa.

BONUS :: +2 Jinusean

How Deep Is Your Love - Basically sampled from "How Deep Is Your Love" by popular group Bee Gees. Both are amazing songs!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

A-Yo - If you like that underground rap. This is your group!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

O5 :: Seo Taiji & Boys - I Know (1992) (BG)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

- Time to go back in time. This song began everything. Modern kpop was born with this song. This was the start!

FUN FACT :: Yang Hyunsuk was in this group. I'm sure if you know YG entertainment then you know who this man is.

BONUS :: +1 Seo Taiji & Boys

Come Back Home - I didn't want to recommend it because it's obvious some of you guys only gave attention to the BTS version. But please give attention to the OG version. This is the best out of all.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

P.S. After number 4, I keep changing my top 4 every week when I discover a new song from each group. These top 4 probably will have no particular order in a week. For now this is it.

O4 :: g.o.d - To Mother (1999) (BG)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

- This was the era. I get the feeling of back in the day as a kid hearing songs like these on the radio. It's that nostalgic and so deep too. G.O.D one of the best groups of the 90's and early 2000's.

FUN FACT :: Famous celebrity Joon Park is in this group! You might know him from literally anywhere.

BONUS :: +2 g.o.d

Friday Night - Feel good, happy song. My Friday song.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Lie - Like 'To Mother'.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

O3 :: SHINHWA - The Solver (1998) (BG)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

- I feel like I've recommended this before but yk it has to be in the list. It's so good. This is Shinhwa's debut album!

FUN FACT :: Their debut album didn't perform as well as the band wanted, so they almost disbanded. (Insane cause this is so good).

+ No I won't recommend Perfect Man nor T.O.P. (Twinkling of Paradise) just because they were performed by BTS. (if you didn't know both songs were from SHINHWA then your lost).

BONUS :: +3 SHINHWA

Eusha! Eusha! - Discovered this one recently and it's so good and makes me feel so good!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

- YES REMASTERED! I haven't even seen this. I just saw it was remastered right now.
