Kpop Girl Groups Update March 2016

         
            Today I will update my blog again. For March 2016, there are actually not a lot of girl groups comeback at March 2016 compared to other month, but I will still continue updating the blog. After G-Friend's success, it's Red Velvet's turn right now....


            So let's start with the winner Red Velvet first and also cute concept girl groups.
            


                       Red Velvet - One of These Nights

             First of all, I have to say SM Entertainment is really smart at business, they avoid letting Red Velvet comeback as the same time with G-Friend last month.
             Red Velvet's second mini album The Velvet was schedule released on March 16, 2016 but ten minutes before schedule release, S.M. Entertainment announced that the music video and album's release would be delayed to March 17 "to guarantee a high quality of work".The album showcases the smooth R&B-influenced "velvet" side of the group's concept and is a direct follow-up album to The Red, which highlighted the band's bright and bold "red" persona.
             Until now, they have won a few times on various music program.
             But one thing I noticed that SM Entertainment idol group doesn't completely dominate kpop now after the decline of SNSD. Even though Red Velvet will be a successful girl group, but compared to G-Friend, I still don't know yet....






             










                                 CLC - High Heel

                  I think a lot of fans noticed that already, the CLC  High Heel MV has 2 different versions, the short and long version. So why is that?
                   On February 24, 2016, CUBE Entertainment announced that CLC would comeback on February 29 with the mini album Refresh and two additional new members, who were later revealed to be Elkie Chong from Hong Kong and Kwon Eunbin, a Cube Entertainment trainee participating in Mnet's girl group survival show Produce 101.
                  According to Cube Entertainment, Eunbin originally joined CLC in 2015 but was converted back to trainee status following delays in the group's new album. Due to Produce 101 contractual restrictions, she will not promote the album's single "High Heels" on music shows or other broadcasts and will have her scenes in the song's music video removed. .On February 29, CLC released a short version of the "High Heels" music video that included Elkie but omitted Eunbin. The full version of the music video that includes Eunbin's parts was released on March 21. Eunbin was officially eliminated from Produce 101 on March 25.













                              Oh My Girl - Liar Liar

          Debut around the same time along with G-Friend and Red Velvet, Oh My Girl was publicized as the new sister group of B1A4. 
         Oh My Girl will release their third EP, Pink Ocean, on March 28th 2016 with double title track "One Step, Two Steps" and "Liar Liar". On March 24th, a comeback teaser was released on 1thek youtube channel and the group's official youtube channel. 
           On March 28th, 2016, OMG announced their official fandom name "Miracle" at their comeback showcase of "Pink Ocean".
          People who are interested in this group could check out their information online.
                                
             
         










                          MATILDA - Macarena

                     MATILDA  is a four-member kpop girl group under Box Media. They debuted on March 17, 2016 with the single "Macarena". The four members are: Haena (해나) Dan-A (단아)
Semmi (세미) Saebyeol (새별)

                    This group is brand new, so I don't really have much information about them.
                 








    

   Now I am gonna start the sexy concept girl group now....

                                 Fiester - Mirror

               Yes, IU's labelmate Fiester is back. This time, they continued their sexy style after the "You're pitful" single.
                On  February 29, teaser images for their second mini album A Delicate Sense was released.The title track "Mirror" and its music video was later released on 9 March.The album consisted of 6 tracks and some of the members took part in producing the songs, which is kinda different from other girl groups.
                            














 WJSN - Catch Me
               Last post, I talked about the debut of WJSN, and they released their debut single " Mo Mo Mo"  at Feb this year. Currently, they had 12 members, the biggest kpop idol group in terms of members.
              I don't know why they didn't release "Catch Me" at the same time with "Mo Mo Mo", So basically they had performance version first, then MV came out several weeks later. The "Catch Me" is a sexy concept song, which is different from "Mo Mo Mo".

                           







Besides that, the hip hop duo Miss $ also made a comeback this month...








                           Miss $ - Don't Speak Without Soul
             Miss $ is a Korean pop/hip-hop female trio that debuted in 2008 and currently under Brand New Music. They were considered "the first female hip-hop group that specializes in ballads". They started gaining popularity in 2009 with their first album S Class. But since too many girl groups debut in recent years, people gradually forgot about them.Also they went through some members change, right now this group had only two members now.
            Very recently, they made a comeback with the single "Don't Speak Without Soul". But not sure if they could still have the same popularity as before.
