influenced by → Seo Taiji and Boys
The end of Seo Taiji and Boys in 1996 cleared the stage for the agency-built idol groups that crowded in behind them, g.o.d among the most beloved by 1998. The first-generation acts inherited the youth audience that Seo Taiji had created and the industry had since organized.
