Groups like 2NE1/SNSD/Wonder Girls are only as old as the likes of Rihanna, but I think one of the reasons they're recognised as K-Pop legends ( aside from the fact that they're pioneers of modern k-pop) is because their debut material looks so old that it kinda gives the impression of them being around and successful for a really long time, when in reality they're like 25 year old girls only just getting up to 10 years as a group.
If you put their old MVs next to an American MV from the time, you'd probably think the Korean one was 10 years older.
The (seemingly) sudden leap in quality of SK's music videos honestly makes it seem like they went from the 90s to late 2000s in a matter of 2/3 years which makes the disparity between their newer and older material so much more apparent imo.

The best part is KPop mvs/music surpassing the western industry in the process as well
Whenever I'm really hungry for a long stretch of time and it finally comes time to eat I get the 'I'll eat you up (woooooooah) so yum, yum' line stuck in my head. BOA ha impact. Ha lyricism. Ha iconography.
