Kpop Girl Groups update Jan 2022

   Just continue from the last blog. So starts from this year, not many kpop girl groups comeback at the beginning. And from Jan we can see, without major kpop girl groups comeback, each second tier girl group could manage to win music program in different period respectively.

                                   Kep1er - Wa Da Da

      I think I never mentioned this group before, so I will briefly introduce them here. Kep1er a 9 member kpop project girl group(The group has two Japanese members and one Chinese member)  formed through the reality survival competition show Girls Planet 999 in 2021 and managed by Swing Entertainment and Wake One Entertainment     

        Covid-19 Impact:   Kep1er was originally scheduled to debut on December 14, 2021, with pre-orders for their EP First Impact having begun on November 29. They were also initially scheduled to perform at the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards on December 11. However, it was announced that the group's scheduled debut had been delayed to January 3, 2022 after one of their staff members tested positive for COVID-19.

          On January 3, 2022, Kep1er released their debut EP First Impact, with "Wa Da Da" serving as lead single. On January 13, 2022, Kep1er won their first music program award on M Countdown with "Wa Da Da".

                                        Fromis_9 - DM

                                Nature - Rica Rica

          I have mentioned this group a few times in the past, after few unsuccessful promotion, they changed their style for quite a bit, but I still don't think their popularity increased much.

          On January 13, 2022, through their mockumentary series, NATURE Can't Go Down Like This, they announced that they will return with the special album "Rica Rica" on January 24. Sunshine is not present for the comeback as she is currently under hiatus.(This group also has 2 Chinese members and one Japanese member)

           They debut since 2018, it's been 4 years and their agency still struggle to promote them as not even second tier girl group.
