I like the song, very good for a debut.
If Hybe and Starship do everything right, things will continue to go up for NewJeans, IVE and LE SSERAFIm in 2024.
If Soyeon writes another hit like Tomboy, Nxde and Queen Card, then (G)I-DLE will also hit.
With SM's new CEO clearly neglecting his girl groups, Aespa may have peaked.
STAYC can always surprise, so further promotion is possible but not guaranteed.
The developments of the JYP girl groups are difficult to assess.
Then we have I'LL-IT and BABYMONSTER...
I especially hope for KISS OF LIFE, they clearly had the strongest musical debut of 2023.
What's amazing is how short a time Jungkook managed to do all this.
Even NewJeans and FIFTY FIFTY have overtaken most BP songs in a relatively short time, but they can't come close to Jungkook either.
The English release was a mistake. (G)I-DlE are popular for their own written songs. I hope and wish Soyeon will write hits again and (G)I-DLE will be at the top, as I hope for other girl groups.
The rise of girl groups began in the first half of 2022. In the second half of 2022 and the first half of 2023, the girl groups earned many million sellers and were on par with boy groups.
With the second half of the year, a hysterical run on boy groups began in Korea and it seems that many hearts have turned against girl groups. Only NewJeans and IVE were able to hold their own to some extent.
It's time for girl groups to have a great time and boy groups to have a lean time, that would be more than fair!
QWER live stage from her appearance at 2023 WORLDS FAN FEST LIVE CONCERT
Personally, I miss the typical dreamcatcher concept. Whether horror-like, sifi or fantasy, whether dark, mysterious or breathtaking.
Personally, I'm not a fan of Boca, but I found Odd Eye, Because and Maison very strong.
I didn't like Bonvoyage that much and neither did OODT. Both are blobs for me.
Haerin has the right to dating like everyone else.Forbidding her to do this is a violation of a human right.
Those who want to forbid her rights and react badly are the scandal and must be rendered harmless.
Because of the very long contract negotiations and the question about the future of the members and their members, all eyes are on BLACKPINK. This influences a lot of attention, more people hearing about BLACKPINK, a lot of curiosity and a lot of interest.
Maybe this is even a new market strategy from YG - after by far the longest world tour by a girl group, just as YG absolutely wanted - and the continued existence of BLACKPINK has long been certain.
In addition, BLACKPINK has many times more songs that are streamed than NewJeans.
I'm very happy for Niziu. And historical because it is a Japanese group.
It is also the most successful K-Pop debut by a girl group since NewJeans at the beginning of August 2022.
The song is very good for a debut.
Since they only have a little over 400 subscribers on YouTube, Eite will be the title holder for most underrated group.
Back in the day, 20,000 sales was considered average/decent for most girl groups. An unknown group gets that much with their debut... it's insane how much more groups are selling these days.
QWER have sold over 25 thousand albums and counting.
But their problem is different.
They are not a group but a band and above all a band lives to perform live.
But QWER are ignored by the media in Korea. No articles and no live appearances on music shows so far.
They are not allowed to show people how good they are.
In Japan, even the smallest groups and smallest bands have many opportunities to perform live. That's why many stay around for a long time.
QWER should definitely make a debut in Japan too. Surely they strive for that too.
I really like that.
Who expected that?
Display MoreWait a sec.
First of all, I would say congratulations!
Second, when I listen to it, it sounds like Japanese songs and I love it. Honestly I'm on the verge to press the subscribe button.
Third, when I see the drummer, I wonder "hmm... who is she? She is quite good like someone that I know"
Because it's a rarity for me to see girls who are a good drummer. A good one, not just those who can play briefly.
Fourth, when the camera is closing up and that drummer got a line, I'm fcking losing it.
THIS IS CHODAN'S GROUP??????
LIKE, I THOUGHT HER GROUP WOULD BE SOME KIND OF IDOL, AND TURNS OUT IT WILL BE A BAND????
I'm pressing that subs button 7 times
I'm a big fan of Japanese GirlBANDS and have counted several hundred. And some offer the best quality in rock music worldwide and more innovations than the dusty rock from Europe and America.
And that's what I find now with QWER, they are my new highlight from Korea.
For me, QWER is a big surprise and a musical highlight.
QWER from their showcase (sorry, I can't link YouTube videos properly).
Hanteo sales amount over 15 thousand after three days.
I'm a big fan of Japanese girl bands, which surpass most J-Pop groups in terms of quality and versatility.
This song is currently playing the most for me, Hannabe. - Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now:
I can't get it linked correctly.
