If I can reply to this - yeah, in 2nd gen collabs between girls groups and boy groups were more common and more accepted. Some people even shipped them together 
SNSD and 2PM also were in this variety show where they were paired up and acted as couples. Fun times 
And yes, GOT the Beat was the gg super group from SM. It was supposed to be rotationary but I guess they scratched that.
And no worries! Sorry for overwhelming you with the recommendations.
Oh my gosh, if you've never heard about GOT the Beat, do check out their mini album apart from the two title tracks! The bsides are fantastic and vocals an raps are really great (but having all of those idols together, how can it be anything else).
Two of my favourite:
Yes, it's very different from their other videos, but I think it's just the aesthetics they chose.
Minimalistic, mostly b&w and just more focus on the fashion and styling.
It does feel empty when you compare, but I don't think there's any use in comparing, cause clearly the directors were going for a different thing.
Would it be great if they had another great MV like Armageddon? Yes, but this MV fits Whiplash and hopefully in the future they will have another concept and song as detailed and powerful as Armageddon/Supernova.
Because I'm so thankful we got a LE badge for Killing Me Good yesterday, I wanted to do a throwback to Jihyo's solo debut.
And I know, I know Killing Me Good as a song received mixed opinions, but no one can argue with me that Jihyo is an amazing performer!
So let's appreciate her powerful stage presence and skills:
1:19 Killin Me Good and 6:04 Room.
Bonus - her solo bside perf on their tour:
And if any of you like these but haven't listened to her album, give it a try! The bsides are amazing and Jihyo participated a lot in the album creation, so it's really her:
And a couple of official collabs, but these are mostly between girls group members:
And this is a feature but I really like it:
Lots of the ones I know of were already listed - mostly SNSd and f(x) collabs with other groups.
f(x) and Shinee actually also did a collab song titled Lollipop, but there's no MV.
Not MVs but some nice collab stages:
Display MoreI was really surprised Toxic was the first title track to get promoted in the comeback because those types of songs are usually considered as B-sides and rarely see the light of day.
I liked it in showcasing their vocal sides, though.
Body was more of my vibe and I honestly wished it was the debut song than Meow.
I did not like Meow just because of the "Yaow" or "Meow" chants.
But, I cannot wait to hear what new music they'll release next.
Hopefully, their future music won't turn you away.
I know what you mean, it really has that bside vibe.
And I'm hopeful. Out of those three songs, I think only Meow had those type of lyrics I'm not a big fan of. So hopefully their future songs will have a lot of different messages, so there will be something for everybody.
She really is terrible at other people's names. Won't ever forget her version of Obama's last name, that was iconic
Maybe she's aging backwards and her memory is getting better now?
But my SonexOnce heart is happy now 
Oh, that's nice!
I'm not their fan but I got to know some of their songs through the SSJYP game and I like them. I'll definitely tune in to listen to their comeback music.
It doesn't sound good, why would they put her name on the posters if she says she's not going to perform there?
You would think that such a big company will take care of their artists, especially as popular as Taeyeon. But we could already see the way they treated SNSD for their 10th anniversary, so I guess it's same old... Also the way her latest comeback is being promoted and how it was supposed to be a full album but got delayed and shortened to the mini.
I do understand though why she would want to stay there, despite being so dissatisfied. SM probably owns the right to her whole discography and by now she might have more freedom and power when it comes to music choice and performing (like she doesn't have to attend the shows etc.), maybe also good salary division. If she ever decided to join another label, it might be easy since she's so popular but imagine not being able to perform her old music?
heres more years to come. stay successfull, healthy
since yall here. heres liz preview ost

It sounds lovely! Yujin released an OST recently and now Liz too, I'm happy for them. It's just the beginning! 😊
2nd gen, which is when I got into kpop. The variety back then was so fun and the groups often did collabs together, without worrying about scandals. Maybe some things were worse than now, but there was a lot of great things too.
I also sometimes wish I could go back in time to 2015, when I first learned about Twice but didn't become their fan because of fan wars between Once and Sone. I feel like I missed so much because of that. I have a different mindset now but back then the big fan wars really discouraged me.
I just gave them a listen. Toxic is a very chill song but a bit forgettable for me, not exactly my style of music. I like Body more, but it's so short. But I like the vibe, the sound is really fun. And I like their voices again, especially in the 2nd verse (I checked on youtube and I think it's Gawon, who has my favourite tone whom I also noticed in Meow - so pretty).
Out of all three, I still like Meow the most, I think. It's very catchy and unique.
I'm interested enough that I will check their next songs :) I have to be honest though, I'm not a huge fan of the "I'm the best" vibe in kpop songs (it's also why I stopped stanning Blackpink, I no longer enjoyed their songs). So I'll see how it goes with Meovv.
I just saw the news and it is a bit surprising, considering everything. I know they've been complaining and have been mistreated for a long time, so I guess they were just able to negotiate better contracts this time and decided to stay after all. Soyeon complaining so loudly and being so vocal about her possibly leaving might have given her even more leverage, who knows.
I can only think that maybe Cube really gave them some big benefits to keep them, so that it overweighed the bad things. That, and what the other users said - it could possibly be hard to move to another company (probably impossible to do it and be able to still perform all of their songs).
Please check this out! I love it. They went to the school, performed, and gave some words of inspiration to the students!
I'll check it out later, when I have more time! :)
I don't know if I'm their fan yet, but I will check out their new music, when they release something new.
