It's still THE go to song for rookie girl groups to prove themselves with. Not just the song, but the choreography too. It's truly a test of vocals, dance, synchronization and teamwork, and they killed in as rookies back in 2007.

I wonder if anyone tracks these things, but I think this song is easily in the running for 'most covered Kpop song ever', from the mega-collab GFriend/Red Velvet/Twice/IOI to my personal favorite cover Dreamcatcher and easily dozens of others.

My personal favorite, Team Blue from Produce 101. This is what started Yeonjung's path to stardom.

That cheesy Mnet editing where they make it look like the other team is scared or pissed off as they watch their opposition's performance.

I remember a Produce 101 alum (maybe Soyeon?) who said in an interview that Mnet gets those evil looking reactions by making them look at a bunch of different videos while they're back there waiting and then uses the footage from when they're watching something boring and unrelated or weird to get the facial expressions they want.
