This song was so amazing when just come out and now after so many years and in the middle of the 3rd generation of kpop it makes me miss more the 2nd generation when everything was about music and not popularity or competition

Narsha is the only person who can pull off all kinds of crazy hairstyles and still look absolutely gorgeous at the same time.
@dobbynana
I miss this era of KPOP. I wish they can put out something like this again. It's always good before, you can just enjoy the music and stuff without being worried whether it would do well on charts.. Now... KPOP is always about competitions. sad :(

brown eyed girls music videos are always so inspiring. either their group or solo songs.
@angelofpurity1992
2009 and 2010 were definitely the best eras of K-Pop. The music videos were so creative and original; now they're just repetitive and unimaginative, with a few exceptions of course. But man, I love this video.
@Heleninini
I TOTALLY AGREE!!! That was the year when i basically claimed kpop my religion
