The first group I will mention is SNSD. On April 10th 2015, SNSD released their 9th Japanese single "Catch Me If You Can" the first time with only 8 members after former member Jessica left the group. After Jessica left the group, some fans are angry about SM Entertainment and this issue was going on for quite a while now. As I expected, the sales of this single is only 20835 at April 28th 2015, which is the lowest sales since SNSD debut.....
PS: I don't have much to comment on Jessica left SNSD issue, just from the MV "Catch Me If You Can", it's really poorly made. It's like in the middle of nowhere in a construction zone. It really looks like a low budget MV. The dance is pretty decent, but overall I don't really like it. Also SNSD didn't get any award from this comeback, which is definitely not right....
Different from last kpop girl group update, I will write sexy concept girl group first, since cute concept girl group didn't do really well in recent two month....
Miss A - Only You
Since last year, Miss A became solid 1st tier kpop girl group, and the most popular girl group from JYP Entertainment right now. On March 29th 2015, Miss A made a major comeback with their hit single "Only You". Miss A continue their old mature style, which gains a lot of fans before. This time Suzy wrote the lyrics for the whole albums for just 2 hours, which shows her talent. This time Miss A comeback is really successful, they were compete with big boy groups like Big Bang at the same time.
If you know kpop girl group fashion really well, there's the only thing I don't like about JYP girl groups. Their outfit always look really old style, like always go for 60s(like old Wonder Girls), Miss A was like 80s outfit back then. This single is a bit better, but still behind the fashion trend, and only JYP girl groups have this issue.
KARA - Cupid
And I am a bit surprised here, since KARA actually made a comeback few days ago. Since KARA members change, I didn't see any news related to KARA recently. KARA was definitely 1st tier girl group back then, they could compete with SNSD back in days. But they are not doing so well in recent years. and KARA just released their new songs few days ago, which shows a new KARA image with 4 member girl group now.
EXID - Ah Yeah
Since "Up and Down", EXID got really popular, finally they got out of 3rd tier group, and possibly become one of the 1st tier girl group. And this time, EXID released "Ah Yeah" at April 13th 2015, and became a huge hit once again. Until now, "Ah Yeah" already won several live performance, now I believe EXID is one of the top tier kpop girl group right now. And there's a member called Hyerin, looks so cute, and leave blonde hair now, I like her new hairstyle.
Bestie - Excuse Me
Speaking of Bestie, I thought about EXID again. Actually most Bestie members are from the old EXID. Then they left EXID and formed another girl group called Bestie. Even though Bestie and EXID have very similar concept, unlike EXID , Bestie was still stuck at 3rd tier girl group zone. Personally I think Bestie could do much better than that, but they don't have opportunity like EXID right now. On May 8th 2015, they made the comeback with single "Excuse Me".
Dal Shabet - Joker
Speaking of Dal Shabet, they are like typical 2ed tier girl group. They did better than those average 3rd tier girl group, but not famous enough to enter top tier girl group. They made comeback at April 15th 2015, with the title track "Joker". However, the music video was banned by KBS because of its explicit choreography, and the song's lyrics were censored by the network. I actually think their MV is unique, but I'm not a big fan of girl gorup overly exposed themselves. And Dal Shabet had this problem before as well.
blady - come to me
Blady is a five member girl group formed by SY6 Entertainment that debuted May 16, 2011. So they are actually not new group, but I don't know much about this group. They are probably even worse than 3rd tier girl groups. But after I watched their new MV, I think they are probably just some random girl group, not famous at all.
Compared to sexy concept girl groups, cute concept girl groups not really do very well in recent two month. And honestly, Besides Girl's Day, I don't think any group could compare to APink in this concept....
Girl's Day - Hello Bubble
Girl's Day released the project single "Hello Bubble" On May 12, 2015, They still have the same style as their previous single "Darling", as the summer theme. And they all got new hairstyle now. especially Minah, she looks so cute, OMG. The song is also really good, just a bit short, hope it would be a bit longer as usual.
Crayon Pop - FM
Ok, so the "Bar Bar Bar" song got this group famous last year. They use different concept outfit, which reminds me of sailor moon back in childhood. So people thought they will become big again after the FM song. Actually they didn't win any award this time.....
CLC - Pepe
CLC is a 5 member girl group debut under Cube Entertainment. so wait....APink is under ACube, and CLC is under Cube, so fans are wondering is it another APink?. They probably have similar concept, and their debut image is really similar to APink, but I don't think CLC could catch up APink in the near future or even possible.
Oh My Girl - Cupid
Oh My Girl is a 8 member girl group debut under WM Entertainment. This is another APink wannabe girl group. Different from CLC, Oh My Girl actually have 8 members, I think it's a bit too many. Also one member from this group try to be NaEun from APink, but I'm a bit confused about all other 7 members. So similar to CLC, personally I don't think this group could get really popular.
LaBoum - Sugar Sugar
Laboum is a 6 member girl group that debuted in 2014 under NH Media and Nega Network. Their name means "the party" in French. After I watch their MV, I can tell they are at most 3rd tier group girl, probably even worse. However, I do enjoy their songs, it's really cute, especially the bear thing in the MV, and it's really funny too. And personally I actually prefer LaBoum than CLC and Oh My Girl those two groups.
Besides those girl groups I mentioned above, there's a ballad girl group made a comeback in recent two month as well, Gavy NJ.
Gavy NJ - Ju Ju Ju
Speaking of Gavy NJ. I heard of them over the years. They actually debut at 2005, so 10 years ago, and a lot of ballad groups are old school now, and they are even older than Davichi, and should be the same generation with SeeYa, which debut at 2006. From what I remember, when Gavy NJ just debut 10 years ago, they are related to some SM Town project, but I don't think they ever involved in SM Entertainment activity,I did remember they performed with SM artists back in 2005. They all look so old now, but their voice, still really good singers.
Besides those girl groups I mentioned above, BoA made a comeback as well, but since it's not group, so I won't mention here, but BoA is famous enough to mention here.
Also I try to watch some boy groups MV today, like SHINee, BTS those stuff, don't feel like it. And SHINee member Taemin are always with APink Queen NaEun now....
