is there a TEEN TOP archive?

is there a TEEN TOP archive?

I'm slowly getting into TEEN TOP and I wanted to ask if they have an archive or well-known fan website? Something similar to the BIGBANG archive or the H.O.T website. It's not necessary of course, but it helps a lot and it's always fun to look through.

Other than that if you have any fun stories about them, do share! I love hearing from og fans haha. I'm planning on going through their whole discography (including solo discogs) and most of the videos on their main channel. Not sure if I'll go through all of their variety content since I'm still hooked on Daesung and he has a lot to get through lol, but it's not a hard no!

H.O.T. photos & site updates + other groups...?

Hello everyone! I'm sorry for posting about my website again so soon, but I've added some new features to the website (https://wowhot99.neocities.org), which some of you may be interested in!

Aside from the new gallery photos added since my last post, I've also created a profiles page, a sources page with links to my sources and some of the sites queued for posting, and there is also a videos page where you can watch H.O.T. videos from youtube without ads! I'll be adding more links for viewing very soon!

For those interested in other groups, my friend and I have an upcoming something for 1st gen in general which we plan to launch by September, and we will continuously update that as well, so please look forward to that too!

This will be my last post on here about the H.O.T. website since being that one account that promotes is embarrassing "-__- I post more detailed updates every week on twitter, besides the daily H.O.T. photos (@dailychoti) ♡

Please look forward to the 1st gen project we have in the works!!

Tiny (티니) - True Love (2000)

Tiny (티니) - True Love (2000)

I don't think they were ever that popular but I did like them. They were definitely kpop TLC influenced. They released one album, First of All in 2000. They had a single debut single "What? (뭐야)".

But this song, True Love, in particular is heavily New Jack Swing influenced. So much so that if you listen to Bruno Mar's Finesse 2016, (with Cardi B), another song built to emulate New Jack Swing, they basically have the same structure and progression.

1st gen dance practice videos?

Are there many dance practice videos out there from 1st gen? I know a lot of people say that shinee (2nd gen) was the first, but that's not true since shinhwa, suju, and dbsk all did it before them. However, I'm specifically wondering about 1st gen dance practices. Is shinhwa the only one?

What performance does Fly to the Sky’s Hwanhee do the windmill?

I think it was when Brian was on Jaefriends, but he briefly mentioned how Hwanhee randomly had to do a windmill (breakdancing move) during one of their songs. Do any of you know what song this was for/have a link for the performance?

"You don't even have that much drama" Meanwhile the drama in question:

I'm sorry for making a meme out of S#arp given all that went down back in the day but this story is literally so insane to me that I don't know what else to say.

Girlfrnd - Tonight MV product placement

This might be a bad place to ask, but I've been rewatching their music video, and I noticed the extras are all drinking alcohol out of these cups. I looked it up, there's a juice brand and a British alcohol company, both called Mondo, but the logos don't match up. Does anybody know if there was a Korean alcohol with the same name back in the day?

What we know so far about T.G, a short-lived Korean cyber idol group

T.G was a mixed Korean cyber idol group active between 2000 and 2003. The group had 3 members: Rigina, Iguma, and Ajan. Rigina (Park Eun Hee) was the first member to "debut" as a real person. Iguma and Ajan were later portrayed by real people — Ahn Myung Ha and Choi Yongho.

Even though T.G was short-lived, most of what they produced and planned to release during their active years is now lost media. The group's talk show appearance, their webtoon, and the work Park Eun Hee did in China — both for T.G and for her own solo career — are either completely unreachable or only partially found.

So far, here's what we've managed to dig up (shout out to everyone else out there researching T.G too! and dearest user FriendlyTaro!)

Based on comments in the group's old Daum cafe and the site as archived on Wayback Machine, Park Eun Hee modeled for a boutique called CocoStory between 2010 and early 2016. (I think she might still be working there today, but that's not confirmed.)

I found a lot of evidence that the Cocostory website was redone in 2016, and noticed the shop changed hands once. There are also rumors that Park Eun Hee runs a restaurant, but we haven't been able to confirm that either. I'm trying to reach CocoStory directly, but I'm not getting any replies to my emails. Right now the most important thing is getting access to their model list and getting in touch with the owner.

While browsing through T.G's old site, I found 4 different magazine cover shoots labeled "eun." — one for a magazine called Hi Tech, and another that I think might be for one called Monday. These covers were shot in China during a promotional trip, but I haven't found any info online about them.

As for Choi Yongho — he was part of a group called SPIN before joining T.G, where he later performed live with the group in the 2000s. He was also one of the dancers in a dance crew called Friends. There are write-ups saying he danced for Uhm Jung Hwa, Lee Jung Hyun, and Kim Wan Sun while he was with them. There are also rumors that he now runs a dance studio in Japan.

It's been hard to reach any of Friends' active members through social media, so unfortunately I haven't made much progress there.

I did manage to reach the two people credited with backing vocals on T.G's "Love Tonight":

Kim Hyosu said, unfortunately, that she doesn't have any info.

Kim Hyuna said she's changed her phone so many times that she's lost contact with the others.

I'll be adding Park Eun Hee's magazine shoots and her Cocostory modeling photos to the post — hopefully one day we can actually track the members down!!!

Right now, the lost media tied to the group includes:

● T.G's talk show appearance

● Most of T.G's webtoon

● Park Eun Hee's promotional work in China

● Park Eun Hee's solo career, which ended up getting cancelled

was k-pop during the days of tvxq (2004, mid 2000s) a major "hallyu wave" of sorts or it took awhile for the western world & other countries to catch up?

I'm not savvy on older gen (i became a fan later) but i'm obsessed with that music esp 2nd gen & saw their mv "tri-angle" which looks revolutionary imo & had me wondering: did american fans gravitate towards that type of k-pop or it took awhile to really pave the way?

What song performance at a concert of the gen 1 or gen 2 era you love a lot?

For me, it has to be TVXQ's Keep Your Head Down at the highly prestigious venue, Nissan Stadium back in 2013. Perhaps it is my favourite K-pop performance I have seen at a concert. I have have seen none other having as much aura as this. Their dancing (lol Yunho carrying the dance for a good portion of the song, lol), live singing, the night, along with tens of thousands of fans blows me away every time I see the performance.

There is more I want to say, but I am too lazy to continue hahaha
