Kpop Girl Groups update August 2015

         So it's the start of September again.  And I will update my blog for August as usual. Since July was the most competitive month for most kpop girl groups comeback this year. So August was relatively less competitive and less girl groups comeback at this time.



What's the biggest News for kpop girl groups this month?
of course it's SNSD comeback again.




Girls' Generation  -  lion Heart

          After the release of "Party" song, a lot of kpop fans including SONES are not satisfied with that song. And their popularity is decreasing right now. SNSD does need a very strong comeback, "Party" song was not enough......
               "Lion Heart" is considered a very strong comeback for SNSD this summer. The song talks about women falling in love with men who have a cheating heart and how they try to tame him like taming a lion. From August 18th to the 25th, Naver’s “V” phone application streamed several live shows of Girls’ Generation. A total of eight episodes were aired, covering Girls’ Generation’s “Lion Heart” comeback, the date I wrote this blog,  SNSD already had 6 straight win on various music program so far, which is much better than "Party" promotion period.
                      




Girls' Generation  -  You Think

                      At the same time when SNSD released Lion Heart, As the album's second title track, this single is also promoted widely.
                      "You Think" is a  powerful pop dance song". The song expresses a woman's warning towards a former male lover, who spreads bad rumors about her after they have broken up. Girls' Generation member Seohyun described the song as an opportunity to "demonstrate SNSD performance and vocal skills properly"

                         








              So before I jumped to the next section, I'm gonna talk about other very important comeback in August, which is Wonder Girls and T-ara.






Wonder Girls-  I feel you

             As I said before, girl groups from JYP Entertainment are always dressed a bit too old style, which put them into disadvantage compared to groups from other talent agency. And this time is the same.
           The Wonder Girls returned as a four-member band rather than a dance group with each member playing an instrument: Yubin (drums), Yeeun (keyboard), Hyerim (guitar), and Sunmi (bass), which is really different from other girl groups nowadays.
            After the release of the single, "I Feel You" become a hit in Korea and zooming to No 1 on all the music chart.
            Personally, I'm not a big fan of most JYP girl groups because their representation is a bit too old fashioned. But I do agree Wonder Girls was really famous back then, it's around the same level as SNSD back in 2008/2009....













T-ara -  so crazy
         T-ara was also considered as 1st-tier girl group back in days, then lost competition later on, but still ranked somewhere between 1st and 2ed tier girl group.
         And in this MV, T-ara girls are back as sexy sailors, and the MV itself is really funny as well. The MV passed 2 million views in only 2 days,which still indicates the popularity of T-ara. Also this song had both Korean and Chinese version, which was the strategy of promoting themselves in China just like the "little Apple" song.












            For the month of August, there's a lot of cute style girl groups comeback such as APink, myB, 2EYES, Year 7 Class 1.








APink - Petal
           After the promoting of "Remember" period, APink continue to surprise their fans with following single "Petal". And it's such a beautiful song.
           Since APink is my bias, especially Eunji and Bomi, so I won't say a lot about them here.....














myB - My Oh My

        myB (마이비) is a South Korean girl group under Maroo Entertainment. They debuted on August 25, 2015 with the single "My Oh My". Their name stands for You're my Best, meaning the group's ambition to become the best in the music industry
         So it's a brand new girl group, and their debut single is pretty catchy, not bad....






2EYES - PIPPI
       Compared to myB, 2EYES is not a new group.2EYES (투아이즈) is a 5-member South Korean girl group who debuted in June 20, 2013 under SidusHQ. 
           They exist in kpop world for around 2 years now, but they never get famous like a lot of other girl groups , probably even worse than 3rd tier group.
            Their new song "PIPPI" is actually pretty decent compared to those new girl groups or not famous girl groups.
           






Yeart 7 Class 1 -  Always
       Yeart 7 Class 1 was a girl group debut at 2014 under DRB Entertainment. And I am pretty sure I mentioned this group in my previous blog.
        Anyways, they are not famous at all. This time they remake their old MV, make the second version of "Always". Only the visual changed a bit,but not music at all.





               So this is pretty much about this month, not a lot compared to July. See you guys next month for the new update.
