Bonus Baby - If I become an adult

               Since I never mentioned this group before, so I will do a brief introduction here.Bonus Baby is a six-member kpop girl group formed by Maroo Entertainment in December 2016.
              They made their debut on January 1, 2017, with the single "We". At the time of the debut, they are the youngest girl group ever in Korea by average age. The group's eldest two members originate from an idol group of the same company, MyB, which disbanded in late 2016. (the eldest here means born on 1997 and 1998, omg, they are all so young)

Kpop Girl Groups Update April 2017 (First Half)

         Last month, there are not really any major comeback, but there are a lot of girl groups who made a comeback last month. I will start with the well known first again. (I assume anyone who listen to kpop for a while knows all the groups I mentioned in first article).


                                  APink - Always

       At April 18th 2017 , it was revealed that Apink would be giving Pink Pandas a special gift in honor of their sixth debut anniversary. Apink debuted on April 19, 2011 with their EP “Seven Springs of Apink” and title track “I Don’t Know.” Over the past six years, the group has received a great deal of love for their consistently innocent, youthful image and undeniable talent.
      The members also thoughtfully dedicated handwritten letters to their fans, thanking them for their love and support over the past six years. Apink Says They Will “Always” Be With Their Fans In MV Commemorating 6th Anniversary

                              EXID - Night rather than day

            Besides APink, the other relatively major comeback is from EXID. Due to Solji's remaining health issues, the group's comeback was delayed until April. On April 10, EXID officially released their third mini album Eclipse and their title song "Night Rather Than Day." The album peaked at number one on the Vietnam iTunes album chart, number two on the Hong Kong iTunes album chart, and within the top ten on the iTunes album charts in Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan. Eclipse debuted at number four on the Billboard World Albums chart, becoming the group's best-charting — and first top-five — album on the chart to date.
        On April 25, 2017, EXID won first place on The Show with "Night Rather Than Day". This was followed by their second win with this song on Show Champion the following day.

Oh My Girl - Coloring Books

            On March 13, WM Entertainment announced on Oh My Girl's fancafe that their next album is scheduled to be released in April. JinE will not be taking part in upcoming album promotions and activities in favor of continued treatment and recovery. WM has also stated that JinE's health has improved since last year, and WM is focusing on long-term treatment for JinE. Oh My Girl's fifth EP, Coloring Book , was released on April 3, along with the title track of the same name

Dream Catcher - Good Night

            I introduced Dream Catcher in my previous article, so I won't repeat again. On April 5, 2017 Dreamcatcher made their comeback with the single album "Fall Asleep In The Mirror" and its title track "Good Night".
            The very first time I watched the MV 'Good Night", I got a bit scared, actually. Then I listened to their whole albums, it sounds like the music from some horror movie, but overall they did have few really good ballad songs. It's their unique style ,very different from all other girl groups.

                                       Laboum -Hwi Hwi

         On April 17, 2017 their second mini album 'Miss This Kiss' was released with the music video for the lead track 'Hwi Hwi'. They took home their first ever music show win on Music Bank on April 28, 2017 with 'Hwi Hwi'.
        I actually like this group for a while back in 2015, they are so funny at that time. Later their popularity gets better, and they moved from 4th or even 5th tier group to somewhere between 2th and 3rd tier group now, gradually becomes well known by most kpop fans, they even took home their very first win recently.

                  Berry Good - Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo

        I also introduced this group for my previous article, so I won't repeat again.  A third Makestar project was launched on March 9, 2017 to finance their sixth digital single "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo". While the song was released on  April 16, its music video was uploaded to the group's YouTube channel the day after. 
         Berry Good has very similar style to Laboum, and the difference is that Berry Good is slightly more focused on vocal, but they are not as famous as Laboum. Recently, Berry Good adds EDM element into their music as well.
