Girls’ Generation’s “I Got A Boy” Video

If ever there was a way to begin the new year with a bang, it was this: On January 1, leading K-Pop kweens Girls’ Generation came busting out of the gate with their game-changing, genre-hopping Korean single, “I Got A Boy.” The accompanying video is as much of a sensory overload as the song, as the flaw-free nonuplets flaunt their fashion-forward style and hip-hop dance skills across several bright, neon-lit sets. The visual smorgasbord went on to become an international smash, notching roughly 10 million views in just over two days, and earning the ladies the (deserved) Video Of The Year win at the first-ever YouTube Awards. For those praying for a K-Pop crossover in Western pop, this was one of the year’s most major victories. —BRADLEY STERN
