Today we go all the way back to 1998, a magical year when S.E.S. reigned supreme and “Dreams Come True” cast a spell over K-pop fans. With its dreamy synths, ethereal vocals, and iconic choreography, this song became a timeless anthem of hope, love, and wonder.

Fun fact: It’s actually a Korean remake of a song by Finnish pop duo Nylon Beat—but S.E.S. made it their own, and made it unforgettable. 💫

Let’s look at this nostalgic line that brings it all back:

“처음 느낌 그대로

짜릿했던 느낌 그대로”

“Just like that first feeling,

Just like that thrilling feeling”
