But K-Pop groups aren’t exactly the first pop acts to do the whole singing and dancing routine. Years before K-Pop even became a thing, we all sang and danced along to the hits of these pop groups from the 90s and early 2000s:
Backstreet Boys
Many have tried to come close, but the Backstreet Boys remains the best-selling boy band. More than being just a singing group, they also frequently danced during their performances, whether live on stage or in their music videos.

Now we jump to the best-selling girl group of all time. Together, Melanie B (Scary Spice), Melanie C (Sporty Spice), Emma (Baby Spice), Geri (Ginger Spice), and Victoria (Posh Spice) sold 90 million records worldwide and released some of the songs 90s girls loved to dance to along the way.
One of the most popular dance-pop groups from the UK, Steps is a five-member group composed of members Claire, Faye, H, Lee, and Lisa. After disbanding in 2001, Steps reunited in 2017 and have been promoting as a group once more.
From S Club 7 to S Club to S Club 3 and now back to being S Club 7, you probably know this group because of their pop ballad hit, Never Had a Dream Come True. But aside from that, this British pop group has also released their fair share of dance-pop hits.
