Hi! Welcome. Red Velvet are on their way to becoming SM's biggest group so it's good to get in on the ground floor.
Hello OT6! Brilliant OP, NNE. A lovely tribute and the layout is very clean. That music selection looks like a lot of work though, don't burn yourself out trying to curate that.
AOA comeback this month, fingers crossed for another band concept

Cheers guys. Yeah, I thought perhaps with a larger new releases section, it might give people a reason to revisit the OP more often (or at all). Could just be wishful thinking though. Anyway, I'll certainly keep it updated for now.
You're very welcome.
Hmmm, I went back and forth on Gee and Genie. Ultimately, while I think that Gee is the more unique and interesting song, Genie seemed like an easier sell to someone that's new to K-pop, and that's what the list is there for after all. It was going to raise eyebrows though, whichever one I chose. I might as well have just tossed a coin for it.
Urgh, so tired. Had to get up early to watch the Japanese GP too...
Not really - Gee is basically the reason this thread exists and why most people I know who now enjoys kpop started enjoying it. It is the ultimate introductory k-pop hit.

Now when I judge your hipster bands and you judge my qt3.14s we can settle it in smash.
Oh absolutely, and I totally would have agreed with you were it not for that poll we did last year where there was an exact 50/50 split between Gee and Genie as 'the song that got me into K-pop'.
Also, I can't remember why exactly but there were a whole bunch of people in OT5 arguing vociferously in favour of Genie a month or two ago. Gee barely got a look-in. Where were you then, Preru?
I figured it would be a good idea to cut the essentials playlist (which is 28 songs / 2 hours long) down to a shortlist of 12. Something that would be a bit more manageable for an actual newcomer. I didn't think it made much sense to include SNSD twice. The full playlist, including Gee, is of course still there underneath the shortlist.
I am, you have me already.

Would probably be even laggier than when we played KoF13 though since it's adding wireless to the equation.
I'll have to make sure to perfect my Lucina game so that I won't lose any of those matches

Let me know if you guys are down for a game of two. I am still pretty crap but I'm getting there lol.

I doubt it will be worse than full-second delay on top of 25% game speed. I was fighting a japanese dude the other night and it wasn't too bad. Also the inputs in smash are much simpler.
gotta snack a lil something

Launching a prediction for OT6. At the end of this thread Minx and DSP's Somin are going to join BESTie in the "Saviors of k-pop" category.
You are a good person.
#teamGenie
I appreciate the impact Gee had, but I got into kpop with Genie. It's still the superior track.

Happiness!
I think I have y'all on my list already. I'm still AFK for another week, but if you catch me online while I'm on leave for the next few hours I can play a bit. Will probably be paying more attention to IRC than the threadI'll have to make sure to perfect my Lucina game so that I won't lose any of those matches

Best Running Man episode ever.

I actually agree with this but I also agree to have Genie instead mainly because it started a new trend in K-Pop and for SNSD.
To me at least, Gee is from the old days of modern K-Pop when everything was super bright and bubbly... you know like A-Pink. Whereas Genie is basically the prototype of sexy K-Pop that groups like Sistar and Girls' Day have managed to conquer... you know, the K-Pop that we have right now.
Either way, I think both songs are a great intro to Soshi and K-Pop.
Gee was probably the first K-pop song I heard, but I love Genie and that's what got me into K-pop properly so it's hard to choose between them.
Looking good.
Looking good.
From time to time we have this discussion.
Peru is completely right. 2009 as a whole was a transition year,. Gee and Sorry Sorry were HUGE.
Gee alone drove many too check K-pop further after watching the MV. Genie was simply the truly ideal follow-up. Perfect for SNSD, and for Hallyu - I remember the expectation after the teaser. Never SM was so right.
But don't forget other things were also on going during 2009. 2NE1, 4Minute debuts also helped to move from cute idol girl groups to more genres variety. Brown Eyed Girls did the same. Kara had Mister but only with Lupin completed the transition.
(Don't forget that there were other previous groups with non cute concepts, just the sound was not so "modern" - Jewelry, The Grace, Baby Vox Rev).

I put Gee and Genie at the same level.
The thing with Genie was that, as luso said, it did everything right.
Concept, MV, song, outfits, dance.. were all on point. Its one of those songs that doesn't let go from start to finish.
This still remains as one of the best performances ever.

So what you guys are saying is that I should add Sorry Sorry to the OP, right?
I've moved Gee to the shortlist.
Well, they've currently got 7.5 members, so...
Anyway, big call considering that AOA is just now riding a popularity wave that has given them good chart rankings and a presence in the consciousness of many Koreans. Considering that, I would think that the members would be more determined to stick around and see where it takes them. More shocking things have happened, and well done to you if it becomes true, but I'll take you on that bet.
Edit: Anyone going to bet against Rainbow having less members than current?

Lol this is what I was trying to articulate earlier but a mild hangover and lack of coffee couldn't get those words into my keyboard haha.
Anyway, as long as Rainbow keeps Hnnngyoung and Jaekyung, I'll be perfectly fine.
It pains me to say it but nope.
If Somin et al are never heard from again, there will be blood and/or salty tears. You have been warned, DSP.
Most have have plastic surgery, some far more hardcore than others. But not all though.
Lol, no, not on their feet ^_^. Mostly face I'm talking about.
I've said it before, but the Wonder Girls with Tell Me is what really launched the modern Hallyu era and the girl group revival (Although even then it's debatable that modern Hallyu was actually launched by popular dramas and KPop itself was originally secondary to that). Gee and Sorry Sorry definitely had a huge effect but they weren't the first.
Will add you!
Plastic surgery talk already on page 2? That's gotta be a record.
