List of South Korean boy bands

Last updated April 22, 2024

South Korean boy bands refer to South Korea's all-male idol groups who account for a large portion of the K-pop industry. Korean boy bands have aided in the global spread and promotion of Korean culture through their demonstrated prominence and popularity. First generation boy bands from the late 90s and early 2000s such as H.O.T., Sechs Kies, Shinhwa and g.o.d. are cited as building these foundations as the first successful all-male groups in Korea and through their participation in the first Hallyu Wave.^[1] In 2007 and onward, second generation groups such as BigBang, TVXQ, Super Junior, 2PM, Shinee, Beast and Infinite continued to grow the popularity of boy bands domestically in Korea as well as globally through the second phase of Hallyu.^[1] The rise of groups such as Exo and BTS in 2012 and 2013 launched the third generation of boy bands and launched K-pop to mass global appeal.^[1] BTS, in particular, has attained mainstream western appeal with number one hits on the Billboard charts and multiple collaborations with global artists such as Coldplay, Nicki Minaj and Halsey. Other major boy bands to have debuted from 2012 onward include Seventeen, NCT, Got7, Tomorrow X Together, Stray Kids, Ateez and Enhypen all of who continue to garner widespread attention and build K-pop's global appeal.^[1]

Generation 1

Before the early 1990s, it was only solo artists doing trot. Then in 1992, South Korean music started shifting to a more hip hop-influenced sound with the debut of Seo Taiji and Boys, who used English in their songs. It was not until SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo-man created several groups such as H.O.T. and Shinhwa that the Hallyu Wave started. The first generation of K-pop began with the birth of the idol industry after the debut of H.O.T. in 1996 and follows the early years of K-pop and includes idol groups debuting from 1996 to 2002.

Generation 4

South Korean boy bands that debuted since 2018.

This generation had to overcome problems such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting economic disruption, and the transition to virtual concerts. These groups are in a situation that needs them to pioneer a wider variety of publicity methods, including the recently active online performance.^[4]
