but i have practically never heard of them

Quote from thebadguy

They have more subscribers than groups like stayc, nmixx, everglow, loona etc but i have practically never heard of them

They're more popular internationally than in Korea. Blew up on social media with a clip of Cocona rapping

Latest release is topping some charts in China, Japan and it's trending in the US as well

New Yorkers were ready to claim these girls

They are and the best part is they will become even more popular in the future

Really? I'm glad Cocona is an amazing rapper

english language opens doors and it's probably a lot easier for a casual listener to check out a regular pop group which they are as opposed to a group with the kpop label attached to them since kpop is still kinda looked at as a meme by normies around the world

Indeed. First Japanese and Asian female artist to spend more than 10 weeks in the US Mediabase Pop Radio Top 40. XG and Fifty Fifty are good case studies for what the future of global girl groups might do to expand beyond Kpop audiences abraod.

Yes, but it was actually for Left Right. It triggered memories of Y2K R&B, and did it in an authentic way. Cherry on top was that Ciara agreed to do a collab remix - and Ciara was a big influence and role model for the girls.

Yes they are one of the popular groups at the moment, they also have 4M monthly listeners on spotify I believe

they're quite popular in Japan too iirc

im on a scener that streams OEC. The orbit is a apearently a big XG an Everglow fan too. total new kpop experience for me.^^

The girls are real likable too. Almost every video I see them together, they're always hugs, hold hands, being really intimate/friendly with one another. Alot of compliments too. Honestly it's great to see.

Cocona+Jurin is a superb duo.

Even if if was pre-choreograph, but her musicality to the beat is so good

Left and Right is one of my favorite 2023 songs. The girls are amazing dancers and rappers and the vocalist have really nice tones as well. They have an edge and that makes the girl crush concept more believable.

They ooze talent and have vibrant, fun personalities. The duality of their killer on-stage personas and their cute, wholesome off-stage energy is lethal too.

Hard to ignore and easy to stan.

Was not surprised they had an entire venue singing all the words to their songs. They deserve it.

you made me think of this meme clip i just watched lol even in just under 5 seconds their charisma and presence still dripped like crazy

The stuff they released last year was more typical girl crush but i think their ceo has really found the winning formula for them and fine-tuned their sound/image this year to allow them to naturally showcase both their tough and playful sides and the result is all the more exponentially amazing. Their concept fits them like a glove and coupled with the members’ innate charms and presence and talents it makes them stand out in the sea of girl crush and girl crush-adjacent ggs imo
