I'll just list girl groups and their music videos that made an impression on me:
After School (First Love), 2ne1 (Fire), Girls Day (Expectation), Girls Generation (Chocolate Love), Crayon Pop (Bar Bar Bar), Apink (My My), Tara (Cry Cry), Rainbow (A), Miss A (Good Girl Bad Girl), Secret (Starlight Moonlight), Sistar (Alone), f(x) (Chu), 4minute (Muzik), Kara (Mister), Wonder Girls (Tell Me), Dal Shabet, 9 muses, Spica, Exid, D-unit, Chocolat, Ladies Code

All you need to know is to adopt a group/music that keeps you happy and follow KMD. ^^

I'd suggest instead of just youtube:ing random songs just keep checking this thread and the reddit sub. Subscribe to all the big youtube channels and you'll get into it fairly quickly. When you see a release you like by a group/person then look into them some more by checking out previous title songs. I'd say don't even spend time looking for former big names, there is just so much stuff to dig through and learn that you can still learn new stuff every day even when you've been into kpop for years.

Well there's three major parts of kpop imo: pop, hip-hop, and ballads.

Some of the current big names for each part. There are many many others of course, these are just some off the top of my head:

Pop: SNSD, Big Bang, Super Junior, 2NE1, Beast, TVXQ/JYJ (formerly DBSK), Shinee, Sistar, IU, EXO, Kara, 4 Minute, Busker Busker, KWill, Ailee, Apink

Hip-Hop: Dynamic Duo, Epik High, Verbal Jint, Primary (producer), San E, GD/T.O.P (of Big Bang), Jay Park, Leesang, Outsider, and then there's a more "underground" hip hop scene with some pretty good artists

Ballads: I could name a couple, but honestly not too familiar with this area, maybe someone else can help you out.

Can't really help you out with the older stuff either. As for finding music, you can search for online playlists on grooveshark, etc., seoul.fm, related video hopping on youtube, and regularly check this thread and r/kpop on reddit.

That Dal Shabet song sure is going to make the Illuminati crowd come out in force. Triangles everywhere combined with messages repeatedly flashed across the screen. Jeez it's like they WANT people to think they're up to something now...

That arm movement dance in that DalShabet MV is exactly the same as BingBing.

TVXQ/JYJ (formerly DBSK)

Just to note... DBSK is still DBSK, it's just most of the international community uses TVXQ to refer to post-split and they use DBSK to refer to pre-split. Personally I use DBSK most of the time for both since they still are 동방신기 in Korea no matter how you look at it.

Anyway, here are a bunch of nugus doing one of my favorite songs
