2ND GEN SM BOY GROUP RUN - SUPER JUNIOR + SHINEE (Patreon)

Hiya!

So I'm pulling out the producer card and calling in the experts here. Because we're doing something a little different ... we've spent a lot of time in 3rd and 4th gen here at KPCC but honestly I know NOTHING about 2nd Gen.

And so I called my friend Slim. Funny thing is - we met at at this random after-church hang in East LA where I spotted her BTS pin on her fanny pack and was like "ARE YOU ARMY?!" And she got so excited and said YES. I told her how I went to both the LA and Vegas PTD shows and she was like "I love kpop concerts too!" And then the whole table erupted because apparently everyone there also loved k-pop and k-dramas. It was amazing.

So since then, she's been giving me the inside scoop of all things k-pop. And so when I was brainstorming what to do on the channel, I thought it'd be cool if she gave me a crash course on 2nd gen. And well, she called Holly to help and they both got SO EXCITED about sharing their love for sooooo many groups.

Like literally I was hoping for something short and simple but they just couldn't narrow it down. They decided to do things by label but even then it was too many MV's. And so they split it up guys and girls.

So that's why we're only doing SM 2nd Gen Groups in this filming session. If you happen to like this series, we can have them come back and give me a crash course on YG and JYP groups. I mean, I've heard of BIG BANG and 2NE1 and 2PM etc. But I barely know anything about them at all.

But it was fun doing this run of Super Junior and Shinee. It's so weird seeing them as idols when I initially know some of them as actors. But I can confidently say that it was quite an experience. Very dated ... but also iconic. The hair was HAIR-ING. So much eye liner.

I think I like Shinee better. That's just my opinion based off these few MV's.

But yeah. Hope you enjoy the run. Sorry we talk too much!! I have lots of questions and honestly they just love it so much they get chatty!!

Girls groups coming up next!
