First-generation groups with entire universes or storylines in their music videos? I think H.O.T. could easily have been one.
While looking into the whole concept of "universes," "concepts," or "lore" in K-pop, I wondered if any first-generation group had something similar—and naturally, H.O.T. immediately came to mind. Given the nature of music videos like "The Promise of H.O.T.," "I Yah!," or "Hope," you could say the members act as something like guardian angels for the youth; that mystical aura they always carried certainly reinforces that idea. What do you all think? Which other first-generation K-pop groups could also be considered to have a universe or storyline woven through their music videos?
