What are 10 songs that defined 2nd gen for you?

No particular order

1. I Got A Boy by SNSD

2. I Am The Best by 2NE1

3. Pandora by KARA

4. Abracadabra by Brown Eyed Girls

5. Genie by SNSD

6. Mr. Simple by Super Junior

7. Ring Ding Dong - SHINee

8. Touch My Body by Sistar

9. Something by Girl's Day

10. Bang Bang Bang by Big Bang

I like to use 2nd gen idols as foils to prop up my own 4th gen faves (Izone Yuri vs SNSD Yuri for example).

But i gotta admit that 2nd gen has some megabops for sure, songs that defined the era for me

Ugly by 2NE1. Maybe the best Kpop song of alltime

Bangbangbang by Bigbang. Maybe the best BG song of alltime

Tonight by Spica. The biggest underappreciated gem of 2nd gen.

So Hot by Wondergirls. I can't stop watching Twice's cover of it.

The Boys by SNSD. I literally discovered this through Izone's cover. It's a FANTASTIC song and the OG is just as good.

Rumpumpum by FX. I only watch the Izone version, Minju killed it, but FX deserves props for being the OG.

I'm sure there are a few more that belong here but this is all i got right now.

Theses are the songs that got me into second gen

1. I am the Best -2NE1

2. Mr Simple - Super Junior

3. So Cool - SISTAR

4. Lucifer - SHINee

5. Fantastic Baby - Big Bang

6. Genie - Girls Generation

7. Hot Summer - F(x)

8. Keep your Head Down - TVXQ

9. Hot Issue - Four Minute

10. Bubble Pop - Hyuna

Quote from superyeah

Yes! An Army showing appreciation to BIGBANG! Armys and VIPs, unite! That's what it's all about.

BTS defined 3rd gen a lot! Lots and lots of great songs. It might even be too much to name all of them.

Before became Army, i was a VIP for long time too! Haha
