We've done the 10 best comebacks of all time. Now it's time for the 10 best debuts of all time. Like mentioned before. Basically impossible to make this list. But these are the 10 that sprang to mind first when putting together this list.
Hope you enjoy and agree with at least a few.
10. Sonamoo "Deja Vu" (2014)
"Several years before BlackPink and (G)Idle ushered in a new era of girl crush Sonamoo debuted with one of the most stylish and funkiest songs of the year.Taking cues from their big brother group B.A.P. Sonamoo made one hell of a first impression right out of the gate."
9. Iz*One "La Vie En Rose" (2018)
"There is no debating this. "La Vie En Rose" was THE anthem of 2018. Iz*One phenomenal debut captured the hearts of kpop fans around the world and solidified their place as a strong contender for the future #1 girl group."
8. Miss A "Bad Girl Good Girl" (2010)
"In 2010 the world was introduced to JYP new girl group Miss Asia and its future star Suzy. And what an introduction it was. While Wonder Girls were busy going all funky and retro Miss A made it their mission to bring sexy back. And they passed that test with a big fat A."
7. Everglow "Bon Bon Choclat" (2019)
"Everglow proved they were destined to forever glow with a debut that many till this day claim they were robbed Rookie of the Year honors. A simple yet enchanting song and dance that is still a favorite of kpop fans to learn."
6. f(x) "Lachata" (2009)
"From the opening moments of the teaser to the final iconic finishing pose in the music video. It was evident f(x) was NOT Girls Generation. They were edgier, bolder, experimental, they were "different " a whole decade before Itzy."
5. AOA "Elvis" (2012)
"Beautiful Angels descend from Heaven and immediately start a band? Kpop fans were sold instantly. The amazing start of an amazing group. Despite the recent behind the scenes controversies one can not deny when AOA went to work they fired on all cylinders."
4. 2NE1 "Fire" (2009)
"If any debut on this list was actual fire. Its "Fire" by 2NE1. A debut so iconic its influence is still felt to this day. The current girl crush/hip hop craze that's been all the rage with girl groups the last few years started right here."
3. Wonder Girls "Irony" (2007)
"2007 was an important year for the history of girl groups and one of the reasons why is the debut of the Wonder Girls. JYP's first girl group hit a grand slam with the iconic and insanely catchy "Irony". The school uniforms were a nice touch also cause class was clearly in session on how to start a legendary career."
2. SNSD "Into the New World" (2007)
"What's left to be said about this debut? Really? 13 years later and still Koreas pop anthem. "Into the New World" was the biggest turning point in the history of kpop. Changed the game forever."
1. S.E.S. "I'm Your Girl" (1997)
"This is it folks. The debut. The group. The song. The best and most historically important moment in Korean Entertainment. Girl groups were officially born with "I'm Your Girl" in 1997. Every girl group that ever existed would not without S.E.S. and their iconic debut.
Did your favorite debut make the list?
I wish Sonamoo kept that style.
