I'm not seeing anything special that separates these girls from the hoards of other rookie groups. Gonna have to give NEP a big fat NOPE.

i always thought it was funny how wg spent so much time in america but actually ended up having a smaller foreign fanbase because foreign fans only care about stuff in korea

Well i dont mind the rookie groups that start off with the "norm" music, they're probably just trying to play it safe (a bit like starcraft sure going for some cheesy/new strat might be cool but if ur starting as a new player probably best to stick with the standards) if they did something crazy and it fails well thats a lot of hardwork gone and people will think of that everytime. I just like to keep tabs on the rookies bands, even if dont like their debut song, cause u dont know if u wont like every song they come out with. Just saying dont be too quick to push rookie groups away so fast and never look back u never know if u'll miss out on a song u would have loved.
That being said yeah...that mv was pretty boring but heres to next time

I just saw WG called sophisticated and sexy in Youtube comments, I think I'm seriously confused as to what they are. I see them as a second tier, gross kpop act trying to make it in America, but this can change. Apparently everyone loves them, I need the top 5 songs for me to listen to gogo. I WANT TO UNDERSTAND.

Hi. I think this will be my first time posting in this thread. I have a very obscure question that I pose to only the most knowledgeable Korean music buffs here.

When I was 9-11 years old, my dad was in the US Air Force. He was stationed to Korea, so in 1994 we moved to Hannam / Yongsan-dong in Seoul. We lived there for 2 years.

Anyway some of my fondest memories from my childhood were made living in Korea. I loved it so much. I remember going to Yongin Farmland (now called Everland), the Korean version of Disney World. During these visits and times being taken to the markets and streets of Seoul, I can remember hearing Korean music. I loved it and came to recognize many songs. Unfortunately I didn't take enough notice of what the songs' names were or who the artists were, or if I did, I've forgotten over the years.

Now, I am trying to recreate the experiences of the songs from my childhood. Since I don't know any of the artists or songs, only the sound, I have no idea where to begin to look for what the top pop songs were from the 1993-1997 era of popular Korean music. I remember that the songs were much less 'Americanized' than the modern Korean pop, they had a sound to them all their own.

My question is: Is there someone here who could help me find a site or collection of music from this era? It would be so amazing to listen to again, and to share with my family who would also probably remember it with fond memories as well. Thanks in advance!
