Their catalog, from "Lies," "Last Farewell," "Haru Haru," "Fantastic Baby," "Bang Bang Bang," and dozens more, shaped a generation of artists and fans across genres that spanned hip-hop, R&B, electronic pop, and arena anthems. The group's influence on K-pop's global expansion in the late 2000s and early 2010s is widely cited by industry observers as foundational, predating the BTS-era internationalisation of the genre by nearly a decade.
