First of all, if you didn't see my Feb 2021 blog, it's because there is only one girl group Tri.be made debut and Brave Girl's strong comeback will I will talk about later , so I will just combine Feb 2021 and March 2021 in one blog. I would say the low debut and comeback rate of kpop girl groups still continuous...
Brave Girls -Rolling
This is not a new song, but since the most surprising success with this song, I will talk about this first.
And more surprisingly, this song is also in the eggbun program, which I used to learn Korean, and my teacher also mentioned this song as well, just to see the influence of this song.
"I wrote as follows: Other than the big 3, Brave Girls comeback draw some attention, On March 17, it was announced that member Yujeong will halt activities due to health issues and the group will promote as a four-member group for the time being. She returned back to the group promotions on March 21 on 'The Show'.
the group performed "Rollin'" on several South Korean music programs, including M Countdown and Inkigayo. A music video for the title track of the same name, was also released on March 7. The EP was a moderate success peaking at number 30 on the Gaon Album Chart,which is not too bad for a relatively unknown girl group."
However, everything changed after this video, A lot of people said this video saved the girls' career.
It also saved a lot of people who lost hope in their dreams.
In February 2021, four years after its initial release, "Rollin'" topped the MelOn, Bugs, FLO, and Genie real-time chart, achieving a “real-time all-kill,” after a video compilation of the group performing the song went viral on YouTube. The song went on to enter Gaon Digital Chart at number 2, peaking two weeks later at number 1, making it their highest charting song to date
My Personal Take on this: Yes, back in 2016/2017ish, I always browse on few major kpop news site already, and from what I remember, many fans described brave girls as flops from other fandoms, like GFriend, Girl's Day are big during that time. Even Brave Girls debut for 10 years, they never get successful like this, and their producer and song writer never gave up on them for the past 10 years, finally they got really successful at this time.
WJSN - Unnatural
On March 8, Cosmic Girls announced that they would make their comeback in late March. It was later announced that they would return with their ninth mini album Unnatural on March 31. 3 Chinese Members Cheng Xiao, Meiqi and Xuanyi were not a part of the album release due to the scheduling conflicts in China. And they did win once on April 6th SBS The Show as well.
Weeekly - after school
The group released their third EP We Play on March 17, featuring the title track "After School". After the song is released, It HIT 15 MILLION VIEWS IN LESS THAN A WEEK, many fans give quite positive comments on their songs as well.
Purple Kiss - Ponzona
First of all, let me briefly introduce them first .Purple Kiss is a 7 member kpop girl group formed by RBW in 2020. They are considered to be a self-producing group, with members involved in songwriting, choreography, and other aspects of their music and showmanship, which is quite different from most other kpop girl groups. On February 28, 2021, Purple Kiss announced their debut, which would be the EP Into Violet.It was released on March 15, 2021, with the second track "Ponzona" serving as the EP's lead single with an accompanying music video. Into Violet peaked at number 11 on the Gaon Album Chart whilst "Ponzona" at number 99 on the Download Chart.
Tri.be - Doom Doom Ta
Tri.be is also a new kpop girl group, so I will introduce them briefly here as well. Tri.be is a also 7 member kpop girl group formed in 2021 by TR Entertainment and Universal Music Group.Tri.be debuted in February 2021, with their single album Tri.be Da Loca with the lead single "Doom Doom Ta". The group was later announced to be signed under Universal Music's Republic Records for United States promotions.
