List of South Korean girl groups

Last updated September 22, 2024

South Korean girl groups refer to the all-female idol groups who are part of the K-pop industry. Korean girl groups have aided in the globalization of Korean culture. The Jeogori Sisters and The Kim Sisters have been noted as the origins of South Korean girl groups, the latter being the first South Korean group to succeed in the United States.^[1]^[2] First generation girl groups such as S.E.S. and Fin.K.L, are cited to have laid the groundwork for the Korean Wave in the 2000s.^[1] In 2009, Wonder Girls' "Nobody" became the first K-pop song to enter the Billboard Hot 100.^[3]
