[Sprinklespana]

I found a 35sec. preview of there pv...which is kinda lame.

[itsmiina]

Hyunaaaa! <333 Yes, you're coming baaack!
They really remind me of 2NE1 though. :x

[Haro-Chan~!]

^That's what I thought too!
They look like 2NE1 but with one more member!
Niice~! I missed Hyuna~!!

[iheartmomusu]

*sigh* I really am getting tired of all these girl groups, I'm kind of getting bored with k-pop music overall recently. All they have are girl groups and boy bands (not too many soloists these days) imo.

But oh well, I'll just see how this group does. They seem pretty cool, hope they do great

[MatchinColorGurl08]

I been waiting for this group for the longest!!! Another girl group to like and love. Soompi haven't opening their thread up until they debut. When are they going to debut?

[Nayok-Kihara]

Their first song, "Hot Issue", will be released on the 15th of this month. I linked a preview of it in the first post.

(I don't remember why I made this group a thread. I haven't even listened to the preview yet, and I have no idea who that ex-WG member is. ..Maybe it was their clothes.)

Edit: Cover of "Hot Issue":


They'll be debuting on MNet’s M!Countdown on June 18th.

Also, do they have a forum to join. Soompi is not going to open their thread once their debut live.

[Nayok-Kihara]

Why aren't they going to open the thread after their live debut?

[MatchinColorGurl08]

Only artists/groups with released albums or singles are entitled to an official thread.
Those who do not have an album/single but are about to debut may have a thread created earlier and then closed until the album/single is released.

My guess is once the single is out the thread will be opening without spamming. It already the 15th in South Korea.

The thread is finally opening up to eveyone!!!

[xichigo]

Hmm, their concept is pretty cool, but it reminds me heavily of 2NE1 and After School, with a mix of Son Dambi o_o
Hope they do well.. Hot Issue is catchy but... well, not catchy ENOUGH to make me like them at first listen/sight.
There are really too many girl groups in the kpop scene at the moment O_O

[Nayok-Kihara]

I agree, and it seems most people on other forums I use do as well. They're seeming very 2NE1 x AS in style, and in song to me. (This also leads me to believe it probably was their look. )

[iheartmomusu]

^Well to me their fashion sense is very AS-like, but then again fashion trends between artists do tend to overlap. I don't know... it just seems too similar for me to actually disagree with my thinking. The crown one of the girls wore also reminds me of the hat taeyang from bigbang wore during the haru haru mv, but thats just stupid to be picking out little things like that. Its just their image/style that kind of makes me confused about what their concept is haha.

Despite their style being extremely similar to 2NE1's and AS' I'll still be looking forward to what else they can bring out.

[Nayok-Kihara]

^ From deimos9 on JPM:

Cube addressed the 2NE1 comments being made. They say this group will be the type that conforms to whatever style is in at the time, instead of focusing on a certain direction. Right now the "Candy Funk" style is what's hot in general, so they're going with that.

[MatchinColorGurl08]

Why do I have a feeling it going to be just like Girls Generation vs Wonder Girls?

[iheartmomusu]

@nayok-kihara thanks for posting that up. It makes it a whole lot easier to see exactly what their concept is. So yeah I'm cool with that. Styles these days tend to overlap each other anyways

^err... I'm not sure but judging from the things are now, it kind of already is

[Nayok-Kihara]

A new picture of them promoting Colonize. Jiyoon with no sunglasses:

[MatchinColorGurl08]

The mv have been push back one day. Yeah, a alot of fans are not very happy about it.
