Kpop Girl Groups 2017 Review (Second Half).

               And I will continue with the last article, review second half year 2017 kpop girl groups comeback.

July

               I skipped the July and talks about something else, so no information this month.

August

             The biggest news from August 2017 was SNSD 10 years anniversary and GFriend Love Whisper comeback.

 

And also many Gfriend-ish girl groups debut or comeback with the same innocent, cute concept this month, such as Momoland, Pristin, Weki Meki, S.I.S, AppleB

             In early July 2017, Girls' Generation was announced to be releasing their sixth studio album in August 2017 to commemorate the group's tenth debut anniversary. The album, titled Holiday Night, was released on August 7, 2017. To promote the album, the group held a concert titled "Holiday to Remember" on August 5, 2017 at Olympic Hall.

       It's been two years since their last full album 'Lionheart,' and they're back again to celebrate their 10th anniversary. Their sixth album is stuffed full with 10 new songs, and includes the two title tracks "All Night" and "Holiday."Their two title tracks are from Girls' Generation's new 6th full-length album 'Holiday Night'. "All Night" is an uptempo dance song by kenzie about falling in love during a summer party. Seohyun also participated in writing the lyrics for "Holiday", which is about the girl group's feelings about their 10th anniversary holiday.

So girl group of the August is SNSD

September

          If GFriend comeback at the wrong time along with SNSD last month, the continue success made GFriend a top tier girl group nowadays. Overall, September has very few kpop girl comeback, like April, Elris and Loona.

          After the Love Whisper at August, they released the repackage album Rainbow with the title track "Summer Rain" in September. The title track is "SUMMER RAIN," a refreshing balladic tune that makes a really good fall track with  the angelic vocals, along with the occasional rain effects.

               So girl group of the September is GFriend

October

       Same as September, not many girl groups comeback at October 2017. DIA, Loona, Playback all have some interesting comeback.

       Twice released their first full-length Korean album, Twicetagram, on October 30 with its lead single titled "Likey". The music video for the song was filmed in Vancouver, Canada in early September. The song is upbeat and in typical TWICE fashion, extremely catchy. The visuals, dance, and song are on point and the song is shaping up to be yet another mega-hit. The MV has a lot of quirky little gems in it, like Dahyun's DAB, which makes for a very entertaining watch.

         It's no surprise, but TWICE have topped music charts with "Likey".The song reigns on top of domestic music charts like Genie, Naver, Olleh, Bugs, Soribada, and Monkey3. They've also topped iTunes' album charts in 11 countries including Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and the iTunes' song charts in 5 countries including Hong Kong, Philippines, and Thailand.

              So girl group of the October is Twice

November

        Same as few previous month,  kpop girl groups not doing very well in the second half year. EXID, Gugudan, Lovelyz made comeback. EXID DDD song made some popularity.

                                        

But overall,  Red Velvet revisited their "velvet" image by releasing their second full-length album Perfect Velvet on November 17 with the lead single "Peek-A-Boo". Critics opined that the group finally managed to make that side of their concept and music appeal more to the public and unlike their first "velvet" release, the album and single were both commercially successful. It peaked atop Billboard's World Album Chart which once again set the record for most number-ones on the chart by a K-pop girl group but also tied with most number-ones among all K-pop acts. "Peek-A-Boo" peaked at #2 on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart, tying with their 2016 single "Russian Roulette".In South Korea, the album charted at #2 on the Gaon Album Chart

                So girl group of the November is Red Velvet

December

         December is the worst month ever in my blog as kpop girl group comeback, since Twice is the only girl group who made comeback, even though they were quite successful, no other girl groups comeback.

On December 11, TWICE unveiled a cheery repackage album 'Merry & Happy' with the title track "Heart Shaker". Soon after the release, the hot girl group hit #1 on all major domestic music charts including Melon, Genie, Bugs, Mnet, Naver, and Soribada; ultimately, recording an all-kill on the real-time charts. 

TWICE has broken their own record again. The girls had previously held the record for being the fastest girl group to reach 10 million views with "Likey". "Likey" had gotten to 10 million in a little over 22 hours, and they've now beat it with "Heart Shaker" with 21 hours and 52 minute

                So girl group of the December is Twice

so overall, let's count the popularity of the girl groups from last year from each month.
