VIDEO Generation gap quiz: 2nd-generation K-pop star vs. super rookie
Following the arrival of the first generation of K-pop acts like H.O.T., S.E.S. and Fin.K.L in the late 1990s, the K-pop scene has witnessed the emergence of numerous groups defining the ensuing generations.
Fast-forward to today, K-pop is believed to have entered its fifth generation, spearheaded by acts like ZEROBASEONE (ZB1), RIIZE and The Wind, which debuted amid high expectations last year.
But how much has actually changed over time? Can the singers still make friends across different generations? What will happen if they take a generation gap quiz?
For answers to these questions, POPKORN invited Niel — a solo artist and a member of the second-generation boy band Teen Top — and Choi Han-bin of The Wind.
Here's an interesting fact: When Niel debuted as part of Teen Top in 2010, Choi was only three years old.
