Korean Pop’s 5 Hottest Girl Groups
Long live the Korean pop scene, where nobody really cares that much about authenticity'or even singing talent for that matter'as long as the girls look cute and the songs are catchy.
American girl groups like Danity Kane and the Pussycat Dolls have to throw on their sluttiest getup to grab anybody's attention, but in Korea, girl pop stars can find success by just singing mindless ditties in sugary voices while executing the simplest of non-sexual dance steps. See, that's the thing'the more you sell a product as overtly sexy, the less sexy it becomes. But push a product as “cute” and “innocent” and “pure”'well now you've piqued our predatory instincts! Our fam in Seoul hipped us to the hottest K-pop girl groups of the moment. Watch all their videos below.
Group: Wonder Girls
Debut: 2007
The most popular girl group out today, the Wonder Girls are the brainchild of K-pop Svengali Park Jin-Young, who also discovered heartthrob (and Stephen Colbert nemesis) Rain. The Girls' much-anticipated second album is coming soon, complete with a “sexier” look. Since two of the five are under 18, hopefully it won’t be too soon.
Watch “So Hot”:
Group: Jewelry
Debut: 2001
Call 'em the Korean Destiny's Child'Jewelry is known for replacing (and re-replacing) members for various reasons. Still, O.G. member Seo In-Young remains the Beyoncé of the bunch. Jewelry is responsible for the “ET Dance” craze that swept the nation earlier this year.
Watch “One More Time”:
Group: Brown Eyed Girls
Debut: 2006
The BEGs are another four-girl group with a recent hit record (”L.O.V.E.”) and a cringe-inducing rapper (Miryo). The video below is for their new single. But wait, don't all girls in Korea have (naturally) brown eyes? What's next, Black Haired Boys?
Watch “Love Action”:
Group: Girls Generation
Debut: 2007
Formed by famed talent agency SM Entertainment, this nine-member group was put together somewhat like one of Diddy's Making The Band experiments. Likewise, the group has faced some skepticism from fans, but fuck it, they're still cute.
Watch “SNSD”:
Group: The Grace
Debut: 2005
Also created by SM Entertainment, this quartet is actually bigger in Japan than Korea. Unlike some of their peers, they can actually sing. The video below is of their first hit single, which was flagged by the government for having suggestive lyrics. Word?
Watch “One More Time, OK?”:

BEAUTIFFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!N SWEET N I AM FROM INDIA N BEST OF LUCK IN FUCTURE

I think the best girl group now is The grace..They can really “sing” and dance unlike other groups that only dance and make a cute face so everybody will like them..If we look from The grace history, many of other groups that debuted after the grace follow the grace like fashion style, song name,really similar..
rek January 16, 2009 at 3:19 am
i would understand if yall were bashing them, but this is the ill sincere profile on korean girl pop groups.. ROFL what does this have to do with anything?
Katrina April 11, 2009 at 9:24 pm
OMG! TOTALLY WONDERGIRLS AND SNSD ARE THE BEST AND BROWN EYED GIRLS!
THE OTHERS SUCK NO OFFENSE BECAUSE THEY DON’T GO ALONE WITH THE BEAT.
Crystal May 22, 2009 at 4:15 am

THANK YOU for not forgetting CSJH.

SNSD/Girls Generation is definitely the best.
solefleur August 11, 2009 at 1:46 am
i’d like to say that you obviously don’t understand what the pussycats are really about. if you would listen to some of their songs (like I don’t need a man or wait a minute) or watch an interview, you would see that they are about women empowerment and try to affect people with their music. and plus…nicole’s voice could kick the asses of them korean groups put together. they can’t hold a candle to her true raw talent even with all those special affects. so don’t be talking shit about something you don’t know
Chris October 20, 2009 at 2:23 am
Oh please. They can sing it but living it is two different things. I’m American and I would rather listen to these girls who are fun that some girls that wouldn’t get anywhere if they didn’t flaunt their bodies off like hookers.
Message is, be independent but only if you look good. Nicole can sing, I’ll give you that much but she’d have the same voice without looking the way she does.
Seriously, if PSD didn’t show off their bodies like that then they wouldn’t sell records. That’s the way the music industry works here. The people on here got it right and I can’t believe you would buy into American girl groups independent drabble.
somebody August 13, 2009 at 1:45 pm
it’s of course the wonder girls~
oh! and sorry! since when did we start caring about caucasians listening to our music?

someone September 19, 2009 at 11:10 am

theusuals August 13, 2009 at 2:47 pm
sooo true! wondergirls-r the best….and by the way “crytal” watever ur ugly name is…

HAHAHAHA LOL!
anybody August 20, 2009 at 12:41 pm

ruiy tonei October 23, 2009 at 5:17 am
at least the music is better than fucking americans. american music sucks and is full of shit. i fucking hate niggers. they should all die. the best music in the world comes from the rest of the world, not USA. eat shit and die.
Ann October 25, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Just yuck, the only Korean music I listen to is 2NE1. They sound more American with their music. American music rocks.
