BRISxGANG,

After a long break, I'm bringing back Flashback Friday on YouTube! 🎉

For those who have been around for a while, you already know the deal. Every Friday we'll be revisiting classic K-pop songs and moments from Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3 to celebrate the music that helped build K-pop into what it is today.

But this time, I want to make Patreon part of the process.

Think of yourselves as the producers of the show. 🎬

Each week, I'll be coming here to look through your suggestions and decide what makes it into Flashback Friday. So if there's a legendary song, iconic performance, underrated gem, or important K-pop moment you think deserves to be featured, drop it below!

Include:

🎵 Artist
🎵 Song
🎵 Why it's important or legendary (optional)

I'll be pulling ideas directly from this thread, so your suggestions could help shape future episodes.

Now, I'll be honest... I've probably seen a lot of Gen 3 already 😅 so don't be afraid to hit me with some Gen 1 and Gen 2 classics that every K-pop fan should know.

Let's build something special together and give some love to the songs that paved the way!

What should be on the first K-POP Flashback Friday episode?

Im suggesting the saddest live in my op its tvxq in Japan Tokyo dome singing the last song as 5 members 😢 The song called love in the ice https://youtu.be/_1VK_PeMXP8?si=ta67QJJCL2rHvRFS After the concert it was announced that jaejoong , yoonchun , junsu were leaving SM and filing a law suit for bad treatment which they won on sm and the rest is history Now why tvxq as well because they were the best group known for their live vocals if you can't watched on YouTube watch it here patreon And thank you for giving me the opportunity to show you my ultimate 2nd gen group

Sunwoo's Wife: Destiny

TVXQ Before You Go MV / It's important to me because it's so right up my alley and it showcased how strong their vocals are, on top of the MV being legendary lol

Deji Jan

bastarz (block b subunit) - make it rain

Angelica Rodriguez

Omgggg plzzzz react B.I - btbt mv also there is a performance video featuring ( soulja boy)

sugarplum

Wendy - "Like Water" (From Red Velvet), "You drive me crazy " by T-ARA , TVXQ - Rising Sun, Shinee - "Y Si Fuera Ella", and SM The Ballad "Hot Times"!

NovCassi

TVXQ! - They have amazing songs as 5 and as the duo. As 5 I’d suggest Love In The Ice (it’s considered one of the most legendary vocals in K-pop! And I’m not exaggerating) , Rising Sun, Wrong Number, Purple Line or Hug. Their Japanese songs were insanely popular back then like Proud, Bolero, Stand By U, or Why did I fall in Love with you. It would be amazing to see you react to them! The Nostalgia hits hard and the vocals are just too good. As for the Duo, I’d suggest Why (Keep Your Head Down), Catch Me, or Maximum

NovCassi

Astro - All Night!!

dinae

TVXQ rising sun Shinee - everybody

Jeoonn

SPICA - YOU DON'T LOVE ME !!

Moomoobear

You should definitely check out old groups from YG. First gen groups: 1TYM (Teddy was in this group) -without you - 1TYM -hot - 1TYM - 1TYM- 1TYM Another old YG iconic duo rappers is Jinusean. - phone number - Jinusean - tell me one more time - Jinusean - a yo -Jinusean

mochi mochi

mochi mochi

Ur list is soooo goooood <3 absolute bangers with 4minute, sister, hyolyn, girlsday, hyuna, gd top, and miss a ❤️❤️❤️

Maria Elena Feliz

EvoL - We are a bit different TVXQ - Love in the ice, Purple Line, Rising Sun, O, Triangle Super Junior - U, Twins (Knock Out) Big Bang - She can't get enough, La La La (English Version), Haru Haru, A Fool Of Tears, Lollipop (with 2NE1), Tell me goodbye (Japanese), Zutter (GD & T.O.P,), Hallelujah (One of the best OST's of a kdrama) Narsha - Bbi Ri Bba Bba T-ARA - Going crazy because of you (cunty energy), Cry Cry, Lovey Dovey, Roly Poly, Bo Beep Bo Beep SPEED - Look at me now (Zico's brother is in this and it's one of the most underrated songs) Co-ed School - Too Late, BbiriBbom BberiBbom And as a veteran k-pop fan I have more but I don't want to wrtie a book haha

nishagirl09

OH GOD WHERE DO I BEGIN?? I focused on 9+ years ago. Got to rep my group: Super Junior - Sorry Sorry [Answer Version], No Other & Hero (the mv for this was reuploaded by a fan) BTOB - I'll Be Your Man [Prayer] (Stray Kids performed their version on Kingdom); It's Okay [Dance Version]. BTOB are vocal kings, should not be overlooked. SM The Ballad - Hot Times (YOU HAVE TO!!) TVXQ [As 5] - Rising Sun, Hug, Wrong Number (TVXQ laid the blueprint of international Kpop success, they deserve to be recognized) TVXQ [As 2] - Before You Go [Dance Ver] (The original MV is good too, but this is better if want to enjoy the song itself) JYJ - Back Seat (They didn't let the split from SM keep them from producing; they're the 3 members that split from TVXQ) Big Bang - A Fool's Only Tears, Number 1, Bad Boy & Tell Me Goodbye (Just Yes) Taeyang - Wedding Dress or Only Look At Me (Classic Taeyang!) U-Kiss - Take Me Away, She's Mine, Standing Still & Quit Play (VERY UNDERRATED GROUP!!) (There is no official MV for Take Me Away but fans created vids from behind the scenes/concerts, the 2nd video that pops up on YouTube is great) Taemin - Sexuality [Live] (Iconic because this was him showcasing he was grown, sexy, solo & here] ToppDogg - Arario (Another underrated kpop song, bet you've never heard it and bet you'll love it) OKAY, I'm done, I could go on forever, literally.

mochi mochi

Yasss omg thanks for mentioning i was like damn he has not reacted to cn blue still

mochi mochi

Ooof this took way longer than expected but here u go: 1ST GEN Sechs Kies - Couple g.o.d - Sky Blue Balloon Jinusean - Tell Me Again - Phone Number - Tell Me One More Time 1TYM (Teddy's group before he became a producer) - 1TYM - Hot Deux - Summer Again Turbo (Kim Jong-kook's duo group) - Black Cat - Twist King DJ DOC - Run To You (such a catchy, go-to karaoke song for lots of Koreans. You hear it all the time on Korean variety shows.) Solid - Holding the End of This Night Freestyle - Please Tell Me Why (a softer R&B ballad with an insanely catchy melody. It became popular again during the COVID era.) Uhm Jung-hwa - Invitation - Poison Park Ji-yoon - Coming of Age Ceremony (a huge culture shock for its time. The choreography is still covered by both male and female idols and is basically an essential part of K-pop history.) J.Y. Park - I Have a Lover BoA - Eat You Up - Only One (one of the first female idol choreographies that felt genuinely difficult and performance-focused for its time.) -my name Rain - It's Raining (the first few seconds of the intro are instantly recognizable. It sounds like a movie soundtrack and helped define Rain's signature sound.) - Rainism (one of the most covered songs by K-pop idols. The sound and choreography are iconic.) Lee Hyori (the Beyoncé and Britney Spears of early K-pop) - 10 Minutes (the opening seconds are instantly recognizable. Such a catchy and iconic song.) - U-Go-Girl - Bad Girls Kim Jong-kook - Lovely - A Man - Words I Can't Say Leessang (Gary's duo group) - Girl Who Can't Break Up, Boy Who Can't Leave Dynamic Duo - Fireworks (such a hype song.) - Guilty (one of the best R&B songs of its era. The lyrics are excellent.) - Go Back Epik High - Fly - Love Love Love - Umbrella - Born Hater Ivy - A-Ha 2ND GEN TVXQ! - Hug - Rising Sun Super Junior - U SS501 - Love Ya - I'm Your Man BIGBANG - A Fool of Tears (another classic BIGBANG R&B ballad. Check out their performance from G-Dragon's 2025 Übermensch World Tour in Seoul.) - Tonight - Love Song - Blue - Monster - Cafe (an iconic B-side that's very different from their usual title tracks. Their vocals are top tier here. Highly recommend the live version from the 2015 MADE Tour in Seoul.) - Tell Me Goodbye (one of BIGBANG's most underrated songs. The vocals are incredible. I highly recommend the live Japan Dome Tour 2014 version.) - If You - We Like 2 Party G-Dragon - MichiGO - That XX - Black GD&TOP - Baby Good Night GD&TOP feat. Park Bom - Oh Yeah - We Belong Together - Forever With You Taeyang - Only Look At Me - Wedding Dress - I Need A Girl - Where U At - Ringa Linga - 1AM (features his future wife in the MV. They met through the project and later fell in love. "Eyes, Nose, Lips" was written about her.) 2NE1 - I Love You - Go Away - Missing You - Lonely - Ugly Park Bom - You and I - Don't Cry Wonder Girls - Tell Me - So Hot - Like This - I Feel You - Why So Lonely Girls' Generation (SNSD) - Gee - Genie - Oh! - Hoot - Mr. Taxi - Galaxy Supernova - You Think - Beep Beep Girls' Generation-TTS - Twinkle KARA - Mister - Step - Pandora - Damaged Lady - Mamma Mia 2PM - 10 Out of 10 - Heartbeat - A.D.T.O.Y SHINee - Lucifer - Sherlock - View Miss A - Bad Girl Good Girl - Goodbye Baby - Touch - Only You SISTAR (I was so obsessed with them as a pre-teen. These songs pretty much gave me a whole new awakening 😂.) - Alone - Loving U - So Cool - I Swear - Give It To Me - Touch My Body - I Like That SISTAR19 - Gone Not Around Any Longer T-ara - Cry Cry - Day By Day - Roly Poly - Number Nine - Sugar Free After School - Flashback - First Love Orange Caramel (Had to include them. They went viral for their crazy, wacky concepts. Watch the MVs and you'll immediately understand why they're so fun and catchy.) - Magic Girl - Shanghai Romance - Lipstick - Catallena Secret - Poison - Talk That - I'm In Love 4Minute - Hot Issue - What's Your Name - Whatcha Doin' Today - Is It Poppin' - HUH HyunA - Change (her debut solo song featuring Yong Jun-hyung from BEAST (now Highlight), who later became her husband.) Trouble Maker (HyunA's duo group) - Trouble Maker - Now Sunmi - 24 Hours - Full Moon BEAST - Breath - Fiction - On Rainy Days (an absolute must-listen. I play it every time I drive. It's such a good ballad and has that nostalgic early-2000s feeling.) - Midnight - Shadow BTOB - Insane B1A4 - Beautiful Target - What's Happening? Infinite - Be Mine - Man In Love - The Chaser - Bad Teen Top - No More Perfume On You - Crazy - To You Block B - HER - Toy AOA - Miniskirt - Like A Cat - Good Luck 9Muses - Wild - Hurt Locker Brown Eyed Girls - Warm Hole (it is exactly what it sounds like. The song is about exactly what you're thinking. Very explicit 😂.) - Sixth Sense - Kill Bill Gain - Bloom Jay Park - Joah - Know Your Name Baek Ji-young - My Ear's Candy (feat. 2PM's Taecyeon.) Hyoseong - Good-night Kiss Wooyoung - Sexy Lady CNBLUE (I can't believe nobody ever suggested CNBLUE to you. They're such a huge part of the 2nd-gen Korean rock scene and are genuinely amazing musicians. My all-time favourite band.) - Loner - Love Girl - Then, Now and Forever - Cinderella - I'm Sorry FTISLAND - Severely - I Wish Gary - Get Some Air (one of my favourite driving songs. Such a feel-good track.) - Lonely Night (the MV features Song Ji-hyo hehe. Another amazing feel-good driving song.) IU - Good Day - Through The Night - Twenty-Three

Icedtea

Since I know you like boy group choreography with stunts and backflips, I suggest watching 2PM’s “Again & Again” live stage on Music Core 2009.

Icedtea

If you want a 1st gen classic, I suggest watching g.o.d – “Dear Mother” MV with translated lyrics. It’s a sad song that became really big in Korea I remember you once asked who g.o.d were while watching kpops movie, so this is a good one to know. They were JYP’s first boy group.

Angelica Rodriguez

Omggg bris plzzzz react to TAEYEON(girls generation member vocal) - INVU it’s sooo goood 😩
