12. f(x) – ‘Nu Abo’ (2010)

Girls’ Generation’s ‘Run Devil Run’ echoes a more disciplined (and chaste) re-imagining of the Pussycat Dolls.

10. E.via – ‘Pick Up! U!’ (2010)

Given that she didn't emerge from Korea's usual idol-making machinery, she might've had little chance at superstardom

9. 2NE1 – ‘Ugly’ (2011)

Loud and brash, tender yet heroic, it encapsulates just about everything that's so immediate about the 2NE1 crew.

8. Norazo – ‘Curry’ (2010)

Norazo — pretty-boy singer/guitarist/straight man Lee Hyuk and goofier and older-looking singer/dancer Jobin — are as much a comedy as music duo.

1. H.O.T. - "Candy" (1996)
