Netizens were able to re-visit hit songs by their favorite groups, and it was also easy to see how much K-pop has progressed and evolved over the past 10+ years.

Fans were able to also take a look at the early stages of a few stars who are still active in the entertainment scene today, such as Lee Hyori, Ock Ju Hyun, Sung Yuri, & Ryeowon.

Netizens responded to the video with, “I didn’t know there were so many 4-member girl groups!”, “Please make a video of 5-member girl groups, too!”, and “I can’t believe its been more than ten years since Fin.K.L debuted.
