The first generation will create a "form of K-POP idols" and "idol culture"It gained overwhelming support from young people, especially teenagers, and caused a social phenomenon.💞🪄

Fandom culture has also been formed, and the popular Korean drama "Respond to 1997" realistically portrays the fan culture of that time.🙄💡

Since no support rules were established at the time, the groups active at the same time were considered rivals and were often relentlessly harassed by radical fans...😭💦

BoA, which debuted in 2000, is said to be the 1.5 generation, and has been able to make a debut with rigorous training.💫😘

The first generation that laid the foundation for K-POP

The first generation of K-POP idols was bornIt started with the debut of boy group H.O.T.✨👀

The form and culture of idols that are still common today have been born, and K-POP idols are coming to life one after another, including Sechs Kies, who competes against H.O.T.🔥

It was around this time that the members were divided into positions such as main vocalists, rappers, and lead dancers, and it can be said that they have built the foundation of K-POP idols.🎤💃🕺

Fandoms and fan clubs supporting idol activities were also formed, and cheering methods using cheering goods began to be used in the interlude of the song.😍📣

The K-POP group, which was born in the third generation, is still active at the forefront.💡
