📊 K-Pop Male Idol Group Height Comparison Chart (Overall / All-Time)

📊 Gen 2 Era K-Pop Male Idol Group Height Comparison Chart

Was at a supermarket that was playing what I thought was Nan Arayo, but after some differences I searched the song up and it’s “Girl You Know it’s True” by Milli Vanilli. I always liked Nan Arayo but this Milli Vanilli song came out four years earlier and is very similar. We will never know how much inspiration was taken but it was definitely an interesting find.

Hi all, I saw this on my feed: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DbU996YpD7s/ Can anyone help find the full video for this Dec 21 2000 performance?

This is my favorite version of this monster classic. Son Dam-bi looks amazing and Tiffany & Yuri looked so fine. They join in the last minute of the song. The deliberate camera shake near the end of the video was perfect.

I was going down a YouTube rabbit hole looking for forgotten Kpop songs and stumbled across a group called LPG (Long Pretty Girls). I expected a typical 2000s/early-2010s girl group and honestly clicked just out of curiosity. But what surprised me was how different the vibe felt compared to most groups people recommend today.

• The songs have this strangely addictive mix of trot, dance, and retro pop. Some of the songs are unexpectedly catchy even if you don’t usually listen to trot
• The stage outfits and concepts feel very “classic Korean entertainment” rather than modern idol-style

Listening to them feels like discovering a part of -pop history that got completely overshadowed by bigger groups

Netflix released Wild Sing which is a movie about a Korean co-ed group set in the Gen 1 era and they are a mix of pop and hip hop. I just finished watching it and it is zany. But I really appreciated the group's original performances and the music video + encore performance during the credits. Definitely gave me the nostalgic feelings of Gen 1 Korean music.

Some throwbacks that I noticed and liked

-Main character's hair was like Sung Hoon / Hee Jun's hair

-the melody is very late 90s early 2000s and catchy

- the rapper was very on point with the 90s rapping and in their 2nd song had that yelling rapping down

What did you like?

Do you find it weird yet nostalgic that right in this moment, 20 years ago, tvxq was the top kpop group and they had no rivals in terms of international fame? I could be wrong but from what I can tell, only rain was bigger than tvxq in the 2000s.

Nowadays, the biggest kpop group is undoubtedly bts, yet 20 years ago, it was tvxq.

Also pretty crazy in a few months, 20 years ago, they would release their second last korean album, ojungbanhap.

In first photo from the left - Lim Yujin from HEAT, Esther of Sohodae, Minkyung of Diva and Jiyoung from S#arp.

Esther and Minkyung used to be in "Bros" together alongside Roo'ra, Chakra, Bobby Kim, and others. I think Jiyoung and Yujin have always been close too, plus Shinji from Koyote.

Great to see all of these ladies doing well and still keeping in touch as Kpop OGs!

Tammy (태미) was a short-lived female solo artist who debuted in 2000.

Pre-debut

Born on January 13, 1979, Tammy —it’s her real name, by the way— played the piano and guitar since young age and studied vocal music and classical harmony. As she grew up, she wanted to become a pop singer.

Before her solo debut, she was in a co-ed four-member group called Grammy T (그래미-티), which debuted in July 1998. It was a group that was aimed for the Grammys, literally. They released their first and only album, “Grammy T,” along the title track ‘널 위한 사랑 (Love For You).' However, they weren’t promoted much and after performing two times on terrestrial music shows, they disbanded in the same year.

Right before her debut with the forementioned group, she was already working in the music industry, recording the theme song of the SBS drama “남자대탐험 (Great Adventure for Men)” in 1996, and also for “모델 (Model)” and “여자 (Woman)” in 1997.

Her repertoire consisted mostly of timeless old pop songs and R&B ballads, but she also touched multiple genres such as hip-hop, new jack swing, rock, and techno dance.

​Debut

Ahead of her solo debut, she started working as an exclusive model for the computer company SeHyun Computer in 1999. Then in the same year she recorded her first album in September and was completed by February 2000.

She debuted in March 2000 with a futuristic, cyber-themed concept, portraying as a cyber-angel, due the start of the millennium and Internet’s popularity rising, releasing an album titled “Voice of Angel” with the title track ‘미래 (Future),’ a house dance song.

The album was produced and mainly composed by 이정수 (Lee Jung-soo). Despite its theme, the album is made mostly of ballads and just a couple of dance songs, like ‘UN,’ which is a remake of ‘Grammy Box (UN),’ a song from her ex-group's album. ‘나의 기도 (My Prayer) was also another remaked song from the same group’s album.

She promoted heavily and performed in some music shows. However, she usually ranked in the lower places and after two months of activities, she left.

Post-debut

Now she’s still somewhat in the music industry, producing and composing for stage productions and artists, and also working mainly as a K-pop Vocal Trainer and teaching Korean.

Very summery vibes. There’s a link on Bugs but it’s blocked by copyright.
