2009 rlly was the golden age peak of kpop ggs, it seems - the years of training tat kpop companies undertook from 2000 onwards by SMEnt, YGE & JYPE n others inc. DSP & CUBE Ent. (RBW would form in 2010) to debut so many ggs in such short time from 2006-2009 tat went on to define 2nd gen n had success more than 1st gen. Unprecedented even tho I sleptwalked thru this era of kpop ggs until I re-discovered/stained SNSD in 2018!

Also why no Wonder Girls?!?!?!?

They spent all of 2009 touring the west as Nobody (a 2008 song) blew up global charts.

My favorite year in Kpop history. I liked 98% of every girl group release that year. That has never happened and will never happen again.

I did know about Nobody(either English or Korean version) in 2009 tho but wat a wasted yr if they dint release any new songs in 2009. Seems like in hindsight JYPE dint know how to build up Wonder Girls/Miss A like SMEnt did for SNSD/f(x) did [at least till 2014].

JYPE/YGE only learned in 3rd gen w~TWICE/BP but hvnt yet done so for 4th/5th gen. SMEnt skipped 3rd gen RV n in 4th/5th gen hv so far done great ~aespa but To be seen ~H2H. Might be too competitive/skip again ~ H2H. I only stan SNSD+aespa from SMEnt(also Aseul).

Yeah same way TVXQ was absent for most of 2009 cause they were focusing on Japan.
