Kpop Girl Groups Update Feb 2017 (Second Half)

          Ok, so this is the second half of the article...I will introduce kpop girl groups who is either not famous come back or brand new girl groups debut last month.


   

Gavy NJ - An Obvious Melo

            First I need to introduce a little bit about the girl group Gavy NJ. Thought I talked about their history before, so Gavy NJ debut at 2005, right now they were the seoncd longest running kpop girl group(2005 - now) , the first one being Jewelry.(2001 - 2015).

                                                           Gavy NJ at 2005

Gavy NJ at 2017 (of course they changed few members during 12 years)

    

     Moving away their previous ballad concept, Gavy NJ turns to an all new sexy approach. The members themselves participated in writing the lyrics to the new song, and it's a minor medium tempo song with a retro sound.
      Since their long history, I won't list their previous work in details. If you are interested in their past, check out: http://www.generasia.com/wiki/Gavy_NJ

H.U.B -  Our Time Together.

          So this is a new girl group H.U.B – Hope U Bounce (허브), is a 4 member new kpop girl group debut under  New Planet Entertainment at Feb 28th 2017.  Until now, they released 2 singles, which is Girl Gang and Our Time Together. 

           Because they are too new, I have no comment for them so far.

PIT A PAT- Sign

          Ok, today I will introduce the second new girl group PIT A PAT ,(피터패트), PIT A PAT is a five member girl group under pit a pat entertainment who debuted on february 7, 2017 with their debut song sign.

           Don't think they have a MV so far, but they have dance version for the song already. I also have no comment for this group because they are too new, but it seems like they come from a dance studio called HY Dance studio.

Rubber Soul - Freedom

                 This is not a new group, but relatively unknown to the most kpop fans. Rubber Soul
(러버 소울) is a 3 member kpop girl group debut under HC Entertainment at 2015. And I don't have much information about them either.

Various - Barbie Girl

           Various (베리어스) is a 5 member girl group debut at April 2016 under Cowl Entertainment. I don't think they are famous, so I have no comment about this group either.

Kpop Girl Groups Update Feb 2017 (First Half)

         Ok. It seems like more and more and more girl groups are in kpop right now. So from now on, I need to write two blogs every month. So the first one is for more well known girl groups, the second one is for like less well known girl groups.

         Just after few hours, the song achieved an all-kill by placing #1 on 8 real-time charts including Melon, Mnet, Bugs, Naver, Olleh, Genie, Monkey3, and Soribada.

          Because of the high popularity, and due to the enormous response from fans. the agency is considering lengthening their promotions  A rep from JYPE stated in an interview on March 4, "This comeback was for a special album, so we planned for the promotions to end after 2 or 3 weeks. However, due to an explosive response from fans and requests from broadcast networks, we're carefully considering an extension."
