Tiffany's interview from the Zach Sang Show

I got into k-pop during 2nd gen,so seeing this felt like experiencing that time from a completely different angle.

the top comment got over 25k and says "To those who say he sounds angry, NO he's just dramatic. Period".

This must be a great inside joke

Sandra is a great interviewer

Kangta and H.O.T in general were massive in SK and China. they're unheard of in the west.

I guess so. Jang Woohyuk from H.O.T allegedly abusing his employees in 2016 seems to have no affected his/their legacy at all.

I'm ashamed to be a 1st gen fan who doesn't have her album.

I remember the news broke of her death on another Kpop forum in 2014. She was only 26, R.I.P.

They made that catchy early 2000's kpop music that can be easily hummed to. I'll always cherish their one and only album.

H.O.T.

5/8 members of SNSD were born in the same year

H.O.T.

cheers, but do american kpop fans care about 1st gen? their audience was koreans and probably neighboring asian countries

Wait...what do you mean by flop, mid-tier and top-tier groups? Are you talking about groups from bigger companies or is this completely a subjective (opinionated) thing?

flops = no one's ever heard of

mid-tier = groups that are flops in korea but popular overseas

top tier = top tier in korea with or without overseas popularity

I understand if mid tier and flops are underestimated, but why are top tier groups underestimated?

It has a strong, catchy melody that can be hummed to. music sounds different in 2022, but a strong melody lives on forever.

Lee Sooman has been boasting about China since he promoted H.O.T there in 2000. there has to be something to gain.

Quote from Yinye

Actually, it's touring that generates the most income for artists if we are discussing music income.

Here's an article that broke it down but it's from 2018: https://www.businessinsider.co…s%20in%20the%20same%20way.

"Of their total earnings, about 95%, or $52 million, came from touring, while less than 4% came from streaming and album sales. Garth Brooks (who came in second on the list), owed about 89% of his earnings to touring, while Metallica (ranked third) raked in 71% of their earnings in the same way."

alright, got it.

just curious

Bada from S.E.S carried all their songs

they don't know because they don't wanna know. some groups popularity can be gauged based on photos and videos even if they weren't there to live it

I thought Korean popularity was the drag. Nevermind.
