1 I update the blog at the beginning of every month, usually the first day of each month talking about all the kpop girl groups comeback from previous month.
2 I start this blog since Jan 2015, until now I wrote 24 articles in total, mostly introduce kpop girl groups new debut, comeback, people could check my previous post here as well.
3 For new readers, you will always find something interesting or something you don't know before from reading my blog....
APink - Only One
According to wikipedia, their third full-length Korean album was released after one year and two months on September 26th with the name of Pink Revolution including title song "Only One"On the same day, they held a showcase which was broadcast live through V-live. "Only One" topped seven music charts in Korea just a few hours after it was released. During the showcase, leader Cho-Rong stated that Pink Revolution would incorporate a new sense of Apink's growth and maturity since debut, while Eun-ji explained that Apink will begin to focus on making complex and beautiful music, rather than tracks that "are simply fun and catchy."
What does this mean???..so APink will abandon their old innocent and cute image, which is how APink is different from the rest of other girl groups.
(My fav APink No No No at 2013)
Member HaYoung said :" It wasn't our declaration that we would never do sexy concept, but rather we leaned toward a concept that was a good fit for the members, resulting in the kind of concept that we've maintained so far. Fans like it and so do the members." Chorong added, "During our debut, we didn't specifically choose that concept; we just thought that it was the most fitting for our age range."
So when they grew up, according to leader Chorong's words, they probably need to change the music concept a bit, it starts from now already....
Now let's watch the new APink MV if you haven't watch already.
Red Velvet - Russian Roulette
Red Velvet released their third extended play Russian Roulette on September 7. The album contains seven tracks, with the lead single titled "Russian Roulette".
As very long time SM Girl Groups stan, (people who know me long enough knows I start listen to kpop because of S.E.S back in 1998). SM Entertainment Girl Groups are definitely my fav for many years with no doubt, but it seems like it doesn't apply to Red Velvet.
When they debut, I thought they are an interesting group, looks kinda cute, also pretty talented. But later, I found something not right. After Dumb, Dumb, also this song. Yes, they are cute, funny, I would like them, but sometimes some fans thought Red Velvet is a joke, and I won't choose Red Velvet as my fav girl group, they look kinda funny, also I don't know why, they just seem like lacking something.
But as a SM Entertainment group, they would still put Red Velvet to 1st tier girl group position easily. (as a old saying, if you are in SM Entertainment, you are half successful already)
Crayon Pop - DooDoomChit
If some fans still don't agree Red Velvet is just a joke, then they gotta agree this one, Crayon Pop is just a joke in kpop.Yes, since bar bar bar, they did get really popular for a while back then, but after that wave, Crayon pop even had trouble to enter 3rd tier groups. I do like cute concept girl group, but crayon pop is a bit too much, I never heard someone says Crayon Pop is someone's fav girl group.
When they release Bar Bar Bar, cuz that kind of song never exist before, so that's why it could get very popular, but if they continue doing the same thing, fans will eventually got tired of them.
DIA - Mr. Potter
I remember when DIA debut last year, their songs are very catchy. Among all the rookie groups, DIA was one of them actually stand out from the rest.
On August 11 2016, MBK Entertainment released a teaser for their Harry Potter-themed comeback. The group held a showcase for their second mini album Spell at Blue Square Samsung Card Hall on September 12. The title track Mr. Potter and mini album were available for digital purchase on September 13, and physical purchase on September
Then I will talk about Mamamo and Dalshabet, which maybe sexy and mature concept girl group from last month.
Mamamoo - New York
.Mamamo is doing pretty good from last year and until now. Their comeback is a bit more frequent than other new girl groups, and also rank a bit higher as well.
On September 21, Mamamoo released their follow-up digital single "New York" and accompanying music video
Dalshabet - Fri, Sat, Sun
On September 29, Dal Shabet released their 10th mini album FRI. SAT. SUN. containing five new songs, along with the music video for the title track under the same nam.
Dalshabet is typical 2ed tier girl group, which means not really famous, but well known to most people who are listening to kpop. And most of their songs and MVs are sexy concept as well.
I'm ok with this group, but not really like their new song, actually.
Yes, that's it. There's not many girl groups comeback this month compared to August. But many well known boy groups such as Infinite, 2PM, SHINee will comeback around the same time, and my article doesn't cover boy group...
