  1. 1BTSK-POPグループThe starting point: today's best-known K-pop group raises the question of where this all began.
  2. 2ソテジワアイドゥルK-POPグループRewinding to 1992, where Seo Taiji and Boys brought rap and social critique into Korean pop and reset the industry.
  3. 3東方神起K-POPグループAfter Seo Taiji and Boys disbanded, agency-built idol groups took over — TVXQ, from SM, marks that next generation.
  4. 4BIGBANGK-POPグループBigBang, debuting in 2006 from YG, shows another path — self-production and a driver of the Korean Wave's spread.
  5. 5少女時代K-POPグループOn the girl-group side at the same time, Girls' Generation earned the title "the nation's girl group" — a parallel track to follow.
  6. 6EXOK-POPグループExo, debuting in 2012, shows another SM generational shift and the growing trend of multinational lineups.
  7. 7TWICEK-POPグループMoving to JYP's Twice to see how the "nation's girl group" lineage continues, shaped through a survival audition show.
