Personally, I miss some of K-pop’s old school corniness and jankiness. Nowadays songs are so sleek and groomed for global popularity. But maybe I’m just a 2nd gen geezer.
Also, Tell Me had one of the best choreographies in all of K-pop. The dance is easy, memorable and fits the song like a glove.
A worthy classic. And changed the face of Korean music!
video quality is shit but the song is so catchy and fun, I love it.
i mean why tf are you posting video link
no youtube video from that era had good audio
look at the video quality itself ffs
and people actually taking the bait

Lol, girl is 2007, not 1960. Btw, this still sound lame.
"Tell Me", and Wonder Girls in general, helped make girl groups popular again.
An interesting data point: in the four years leading up to the song's release, only six girl group songs even managed to win on a music show.

100% me.
I miss the old school era.
I even did a whole thread the other day on this exact topic.
Everything is too slick and refined now.
I miss that old school lack of polish.
It because the song is catchy, addict dance and addict hooks. Compare to itzflop try hard song
So we are comparing a remasterd HD quality MV with an old 480p video? Alright.
Even if Tell Me is not any of my favorite songs, it's still a master piece compared to a lot of the songs today.
Technoly and music have developed a lot since then, but that don't alway mean it's much better.
But sure, it was much much fewer groups back then at the start of the 2nd genaration of girlgroups before it exploded with groups during the years 2009-2011.
Well... I know that for Super Junior, four of the members ended in a car accident... and Kyuhyun had a surgery, where he only had 20% chance to live.
And then there also was this controversy about Henry being added to Super Junior-M and ELFs being furious about him.
That doesn't sound quite boring to me...
and they had the angsty song Don't Don. (I don't know if this song is a product of it's time or ahead of it's time...)
And well... I remember seeing Heechul dancing to Tell Me in a variety show from 2007-2008. (I remember finding that variety show fun and educational)

Jesus, it was 2007, Not 1960. Korean television also broadcasted this 480p video in that time?
Listen to the superior version
But I agree WGs have much better songs. But it's thanks to Tell me they shot to fame so it served its purpose 
Korean television also broadcasted this 480p video in that time?
Check out this 1080p performance on Music Core from 2007:
What's interesting is that the clip above has better video quality (there's less macroblocking) than a performance on the same show *from last week*:

I guess you are young? You must understand not everyone had high speed internet at that time. A lot of vidoes on youtube had low quality because of that. Also companies ,did not want to put too good quality on the net because the was still selling their music on CDs, streaming was not still a huge thing back then. Today they understand they need to be on Youtube to promote it, that was not really the case in the early days of Youtube. You must understand Youtube started 2005, just two years before this. 2007 Youtube was not as huge as it today, and probably not many koreans have heard about it 2007......
For an example an other 480p MV.....
It has aged horribly indeed
