K-pop girl groups refer to South Korea's all-female idol groups who account for a large portion of the K-pop industry. Korean girl groups have aided in the global spread and promotion of Korean culture through their demonstrated prominence and popularity. Generally, they are known for their interesting concepts, catchy lyrics, point-choreography and fresh visuals. First Generation groups from the late 90s and early 2000s such as S.E.S., Fin.K.L, and Baby Vox are cited as building these foundations as the first successful all-female girl groups in Korea and through their participation in the first Hallyu Wave. In 2003 and onward, Second Generation groups such as Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, 2NE1, After School, Kara, Secret, Sistar, Miss A and Girl's Day revived the popularity and consumption of girls domestically in Korea as well as globally through the second phase of Hallyu, and groups that began the generation transitional shift in the early 2012s, such as AOA, EXID and Apink helped propel that for the Third Generation with groups that debuted in 2012 onward such as Blackpink, Twice, Red Velvet, GFriend, Mamamoo, CLC and I.O.I that have risen to distinction in recent years and helped contribute to the widespread attention and appreciation of K-pop.
