Beyond this, K-pop’s albums deliver thousands of additional tracks that settle for a more limited audience. It’s these songs that will become a part of my “battle of the b-sides” feature. Show In this feature, I’ll be putting on my A&R hat and taking a listen to five randomly-selected K-pop b-sides. I’ll write a mini review for each, including a Bias List rating, and rank them from least to most favorite. The winner will join a special Bias List B-side playlist. Think of it like my own little agency, hand-selecting songs I’d like to pitch to my nonexistent artists!

A place to ask your K-Pop questions. You can get help with Identifications, Recommendations, Explanations, or Discussions about K-Pop music, artists, genres, content, or industry/cultural issues. Members Online • [deleted] What 2nd gen, or even 3rd gen groups or soloists are being forgotten by fans?Discussion Kara and T-ara, two massively popular groups during their time that people don’t seem to remember. Songs like Step or Roly Poly are only known to old stans. Also, former Sistar member Soyou who has kept on releasing music solo which has not gotten the attention I think it should, with songs like gotta go that had insane potential. What KInfinite is among the series of the so-called "second-generation" boy bands those that debuted in the late 2000s and early 2010s making their long-awaited reunions. What generation is sistar?Generation 2. Who is 2nd generation K2nd Generation Dubbed the 'Golden Age of K-Pop', this is the generation that gave rise to what we call 'Hallyu' or The Korean Wave. Groups like Super Junior, BIGBANG, Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, KARA, SHINee, 2PM, and 2NE1 were born and popularized K-Pop outside of Korea. Is EXO second or third generation?The majority agrees that the boy group EXO, which also belongs to SM Entertainment, was one of the first groups of the 3rd generation . |
