Article: Girl's Day's sexy stage outfits + provocative touch choreo 'shed their gilrish image' (Music Core)
Source: Newsen via Nate
1. [+143, -26] Music Core was so mean to them;; Their stage was one of the first in the line-up ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ At least on Music Bank, they came out somewhere in the middle;; Their company deserves this. They should've known to keep pushing their "Nothing Lasts Forever" concept if they don't want to be treated like this.
2. [+100, -21] They do seem to have paid more attention on the production of the song. Minah is starting to look more like a woman now.
3. [+92, -29] It seems they've gotten prettier with this comeback. The song is great and it's beautiful to see them working so hard. I'll always look forward to them.

Article: Girl's Day 'Don't Forget Me', shed cuteness for a sexy mature look
Source: Newdaily via Nate
1. [+62, -28] I like this song better than Twinkle Twinkle so I hope they do well this time
2. [+41, -14] Our country's girl groups only know two concepts: sexy or cute. Do they have no other concept to put out other than showing off their bodies?
3. [+33, -19] The song sucks.........

'nothing last forever' is their best song.... I wish they make comeback with fierce songs instead of cute songs, and sucks that jihae left T.T

ReplyDeleteLol I have nothing against showing body but I'm bored of this too. Maybe that's why I'm listening to jpop more a long side kpop. THIS IS NOT A VS comment tho. But sometimes I feel like kpop idol groups are too boring because they play it too safe
I mean in jpop cute girl groups like AKB48 that show skin too but they DONE A SONG ABOUT SUICIDE or dress in Goth or break out of prison.

There's momoiro clover z doing their power ranger shit, BABYMETAL, a death metal girl idol group, or E-girls being fierce and beautiful woman without focusing on being sexy

AVEX just recently starting a girl group made up of Yankees (delinquents/criminals)

I LOVE BOTH KPOP AND JPOP EQUALLY but I would love if Korean companies take risks. Look at NUEST or BAP, they were so cool being tough but then their new songs are typical Aegyos stuffs D: anyway hope no one take my comment as a fight ^^
it seems that k-netizens too got sick on the cutesy/aegyo concept of girl's day
ReplyDeleteTheir cute image is still well-liked, it's just that this concept suits them a lot better.
DeleteInternational fans say kpop is boring because they only have cute and sexy concepts
ReplyDeleteBut what about western pop singers? The only think they got is sex concepts
I agree. Almost all Western MVs have a sexual reference in them. Male singers' MV are filled with bikini-clad girls and female singers' MV are filled with bras and underwears.
DeleteThe thing is, I've never liked how Western people sexualized music and mainstreamed it till it became the musical norm.
But what to do, this world is sick.
People being kill, rape, getting cancer and die a young age is sick
DeletePeople expressing sexuality ISN'T and shouldn't be consider sick, you virgin.
Different culture have different ways of looking at thing. Certain culture repress sexuality while other culture embrace it.
No biggie. Get over it. You're not used to that, fine, but considering it sick is just denying human nature. Fact - human, both men and women, subconsciously think about sex constantly.
rating/likes ranging in the one hundreds, no1 currs bout Flop's Day.
ReplyDeleteMostly positive comments but wait till the get a little bigger and they'll get the knives out good and sharp. Korean netizens can't resist bashing on any successful female group. Every time a female idol suicides, Korean netizens mark a notch on the wall.
ReplyDeletei didnt like the song that much. it was a bit boring.
ReplyDeleteSong is miles down less catchier than Twinkle Twinkle, HMO basically their cutesy songs even shitty OMG. This song is plain bland and generic, bordering boring especially with that mv with how usually fun Girl's Day mvs are. Whatever, Girl's Day debuted in the same year as miss A and SISTAR but are still in rookie's level. They are just like Rainbow going to struggle forever, I don't see them as a group lasting longer than what idol groups will last (5 years), they will go down sooner. The 10 dedicated fans they have holding up their fansite, praying for you!
ReplyDeleteI liked th song but im bored of the sexy andcute concepts too n girl ans boy groups...!! Thata why co ed groups with mysterious and creative xoncepts like Sunny Hill or rbellious and in our face concepts like 2ne1 and block b are my biases....
ReplyDeleteThey are soo hot! I want to sniff Minah's butthole!
ReplyDelete2. [+41, -14] Our country's girl groups only know two concepts: sexy or cute. Do they have no other concept to put out other than showing off their bodies?
ReplyDeleteI don't see f(x) fitting into either category.
To the people who are tired of cute and sexy: That is what makes it POPular. You need to start listening to something besides Pop Music! There's plenty of underground/independent music out there. You'll have to put some effort into finding it, but I suspect you'll appreciate it that much more if you find it on your own. It can be much more fulfilling than having the corporations serve you up another helping of Formula A or Formula B.
ReplyDeleteNow, having said that, I'm starting to like Girl's Day....Sojin is so hot!
"I don't see f(x) fitting into either category."
ReplyDeleteThere are a few groups who don't f(x), miss A, 2ne1, Spica, etc. The netizen was using hyperbole to make a point.

ReplyDeleteguys mostly love 2 type girls, little sister or sexy.
The song is forgettable. I think companies don't want to take a risk because taking a risk could possibly mean losing money. If something isn't broke don't fix it. The trend is for girls to be cute or sexy, that's what makes money, so that's what you'll keep seeing. Even a group like 2NE1 went into trying to be sexy with their latest comeback. The only female idol I can think of that is different is Gain. She sings about more adult themes (sex, virginity, love) than the typical group. But even she still has that sexy concept. Most of the groups debuting now are all imitations of each other. It's quite boring.
