5 second generation K-pop groups for you to know

If you are new following the K-Pop industry, check out five amazing second generation groups you need to know

Being extremely famous and respected in K-pop, the famous “generations” are responsible for sharing the different phases of South Korean pop music. Although they are a bit difficult to understand, as there is no rule that sets out when they start or end, experts argue that today K-pop is already in its fifth generation.

The first generation emerged in 1992, with the debut of Trio Seo Taiji and Boys, considered the first group of K-pop, and extending until the early 2000s. The second generation begins, around 2003, and covers until 2011, being marked by the growth of Hallyu, the Korean wave, ie when companies started to invest more in the expansion of K-pop and culture South Korean beyond the borders of South Korea.

This is because, according to the Assistant Professor of Korean Pop Culture at Arizona State University, Areum JeongIn an interview with Nylon, it was also at this time that “Idol groups as we know them today were born”, with K-pop becoming one of the most profitable industries in the country.

During this period, some groups that remain being featured in the industry have emerged and are remembered to this day, such as TVxq!, Bigbang, 2NE1, 2pm, Wonder Girls, Miss A, Shinee, F (x) and Sistar. In addition to them, the second generation also has a huge list of sets that have made a huge success in Korea, but may end up not being known to fans who started following the industry a short time ago.

With that in mind, Recreio brought a list of 5 second-generation K-pop groups you need to know. Check it out!
