List of South Korean girl groups

South Korean girl groups refer to the all-female idol groups who are part of the K-pop industry. Korean girl groups have aided in the globalization of Korean culture. First generation girl groups S.E.S. and Fin.K.L are cited to have laid the groundwork for the Hallyu wave in the 2000s.^[1] However, the Jeogori Sisters and The Kim Sisters, the first South Korean group to succeed in the United States, have also been noted as the origins of South Korean girl groups.^[1]^[2] The Pearl Sisters also introduced an emphasis on performance, a change from the music-centered performances.^[1] In 2009, Wonder Girls' "Nobody" entered Billboard Hot 100, the first K-pop song to do so.^[3] The growth of girl groups has led to more opportunities for female idols to have more creative input and control, such as (G)I-dle being directly involved in the creative process, in comparison to Girls' Generation receiving their first writing credit in 2011, four years after debut.^[4]
