I love SHINHWA!!! Cant wait for them to back in 2012!!!
I loved SES as well...so happy for Eugene to get married to Ki tae yong shii

roora's 3!4! is the song that got me into kpop when i was in middle school. i remember my mom borrowed some korean music cds/tapes from a friend to let me listen to, and i remember "burning" the cd onto a cassette tape. hahah

Many many thanks JB.........

It's so true. Singers in the 90s won our hearts with songs. Singers today win our hearts with looks.

LOVE THIS POST :)
makes me nostalgic.

wow I actually knew quite a few of these songs and I am not even that old, BUT i did get into kpop around 1999/2011.

S.E.S., H.O.T., Shinhwa <3
I'd kill for them to comeback together to make music, join the hoobaes (후배) and tour with their old family SM Town around the globe

OK, I can't be the only one that kept hearing the Bee Gees during the Jinusean song...

(I'm not as old as this comment may indicate!)

I heard my first kpop song in 2003 but I think my '90s nostalgia applies cross-culturally. I'm retroactively fond of a lot of these songs. Thanks for the downloads!

I was so heartbroken yesterday...thanks so much, your playlist just made my day today <3

I only recognize SES's Dream Come True and that's bcuz when i was a kid my brothers and his friends have their cds. :D

omg, i'm sooo old...my i remember those competitions on TV...and the music videos....!!! Everyone was sooo into the K-pop dancing back in the 90s...and the hairstyle. lol!!

didn't know a single one heehee....(-.-)

Ahhh old school kpop! My absolute fav!! Love this music way more then the stuff today. Shinhwa is my ABSOLUTE fav group EVER!! Add in HOT and SES and I'm sold!! :)

Well I may not be korean but my neighbors were, we lived next to each other for 8 years and Soo Min was my age. I grew up in the mid 90's soo obviously we would bond over music, I shared my love and devotion for TLC, No Doubt, Foo Fighters and Backstreet Boys while she completely warped my mind with k-music she was Really into H.O.T. and Baby Vox so I can honestly say I know almost every song up there :)
My favorites were Seo Taiji & the boys and Fin.K.L

Thanks JB for a trip down memory lane

SHINHWA!! First korean band I really loved. XD Eusha Eusha brings back such awesome memories. Good times

Yay 90s! Total blast from the past. I loved "How Deep is Your Love" and really most of the songs up there. Makes me think JB is late 20s, like me, or maybe early 30s. Anyways, this blog is awesome, I check it like 10 times a day. The writing and commentary are really top notch. Makes me wonder what JB does for her day job...maybe some form of writing? Anyways, Thanks for the great work!

omg, so many of my favs!! funny too cause I've had all my old dj doc in the rotation after they're new album :) yey!!!

I only know the song Dance with Doc because of Full House!

best song on your list: Solid's 이밤의 끝을 잡고!!

OhGod, i know all of them. Eek, must i be reminded of my age? DX But really, these were awesome hits!! Thanks for shedding light on the oldies~~ when Kpop was Kpop. ;)

This list makes me reminisce. I'm only seventeen myself, but I used to lie on my sister's bed and listen to old kpop and she's seven years older so all of these names floated around. Ah, the old days. <3

It shocks me, frightens me, and makes me feel ridic old when I talk to people who are either too young to even know of DBSK (seriously!!!11!!1) or discovered kpop after their disbandment. ;____;

I know Shinhwa's Eusha Eusha... HOT's Candy and SES' Dreams Come True!

Despite the horrendous hair (I remember Brian Joo of FTTS making fun of his "exploding ramen" hairstyle on Strong Heart!!!) 90s KPop was the best... All the songs were so damn catchy!!

JB...thanks for the memories!

Oh My.....

Thank you Javabeans, I feel so YOUNG....
These are so nineties....

i turn 18 next month, am not a korean, and i can sing most of the songs on this list, word by word.

... i never even knew korean music until 2006, so why do i feel this false sense of nostalgia? xD

Thanks for sharing some really good classics!

Hahaha I'm only 18 but I know all the songs and artistes up there! xP

SHINHWA CHANGJO FOREVER <3

i think you should write more of these old fogey posts! i wasn't into pop music growing up in the 90s, and besides i wasn't even 10 years old in the late 90s. but i know the song by solid, and at any rate these songs all have that 90s sound that make me so nostalgic :) i discovered a couple of good songs so thank you!

Omg, I must be an old fogey too because I remember listening to all of these growing up! Man, I was so obsessed with H.O.T. and Shinhwa, it was borderline unhealthy... Oh the good ol' 90's with the crazy hairstyles and even crazier outfits! :)

whew. I remember "Dreams Come True" by S.E.S clearly. lol, it was back in Middle school when every asian girl was dancing to that song. *haha. I miss those days.

SOOO many great memories. I was like in 1st or 2nd grade during these times, but the memories of running in the countryside with all my gradeschool friends in korea is so impressive. GRAHH. greatest summer songs ever.

aww man your right this does make me feel old, but boy do i love that feeling right now bc some youngsters how no clue what they are missing out on! keep it up lol

thanks for sharing these songs..I knew 3 of the songs here, and it brings good old-school Kpop memories :)

old school!!! love itttt even though it makes me feel way old

I'm not Korean, but I was introduced to Korean music early in my years (at the age of 11 and now I'm 21), so it was a pleasure seeing Baby VOX, SES, and Shinhwa on the list! Oh, the 90s...!

WOW! I'm Korean. accidantly i come this homepage.
You are not Korean? I never don't know how you know this stuff.....
i just so amazing!
i were searching "SoulMate" OST....

When I started listening to Eusha Eusha, I immediately got out of my chair and starting dancing, making random hand motions, and doing the shimmy. :)

I don't even know the lyrics let alone the song itself.

"I know" from Seo Taiji & the boys is truly one song I cannot get out of my head. It has something to do with A.N.Jell did a parody on "You're Beautiful" :-P

Bwahahahaha xD

These songs are so ridiculous I am happy no one knows them(or korean) around here, 'coz I'm totally gonna sing them!

eusha eusha is funny but it's also because of this old song:
