[05.26.09] SNSD-Wondergirls-2NE1, There is No Resting from the Girl Groups' Activities
[OSEN=Reporter Lee Jungah] The activity of girl groups will continue without stopping this year.
Last year, the the girl group activity was busier than ever. Wondergirls was in the center of it all, and the representative girl group SNSD led the fever this year.
Last year, Wondergirls showed to be most active, creating a girl-group wave with their song "Nobody." Wondergirls made everybody point their fingers and do the gun dance to the song, and gathered a lot of momentum to hold their first concert. On Mnet chart, the album reached the top just two days after it went on sale, and it also placed first for 5 weeks.
Likewise, SNSD continued on this fever for girl groups this year. SNSD was noticeably popular not only in the music world, but they also appeared on shows and CF's very frequently because of their song, "Gee". It deserved to be called the "Gee" wave. SNSD placed 1st for 7 weeks on the same chart that Wondergirls placed 1st for 5 weeks. They had the honor of having first place for the longest amount of time.
If Wondergirls and SNSD captured music fans by showing their youthfulness, liveliness, and cuteness, then this summer, the girl group different than all the others will come out to continue with the wave.
These girls, 2NE1, were called "the Girl Big Bang" and became popular even before they debuted. 2NE1 sang the song "Lollipop" with the Big Bang members before they formally debuted, creating publicity, and are currently active promoting their debut song, "Fire." Unlike previous girl groups, they have hip hop roots with their powerful performances on stage are their strong points.
SNSD, Wondergirls, and 2NE1 who is continuing with the girl group streak, are not only going to energize the pop world, but they are making us expectant for more diverse girl groups.
"Demo made and scolds to YG!"
2ne1 relay interview - CL
Jjajjang skills "18 year old leader" speaks four languages... even composes
"we will show you our colors"
It seems like we are seeing a runaway train. After the 6 days debut, the top rookies in the women’s groups, 2ne1 who is grabbing all the charts is literally. No one knew the curiosity for the girls like their debut song <Fire> would arouse. CL, park bom, park Sandra, gong minji, cause higher interests than ever. Topics in the center line will introduce them one by one. The 18 year old, the 2ne1 rapper CL does not act her age, but gives the feeling of maturity. Although there are unnies, she is put in the role of the leader. The YG yang hyunsuk told the audience: “you have to watch them closely.”, but it was not a special order. It was three years ago that she has knocked on the doors of YG. She made a demo and infront of the YG entertainment and waited for few days. She put the CD inside Yang hyunsuk’s hand and told him “you have to listen to this”, so she got to be known as the fearless singer. “I told you. With the confidence that came out of somewhere, and I said ‘you have to listen to this’ many times. I also threatened which were not threats about if you do not listen to this, ‘you will regret it’. When I reminiscence, I laugh thinking about where the confidence came from.” Inside the CD was CL singing and dancing to Beyonce’s <Dangerous in Love>. Of course, he contacted the girl who said ‘please find my talent’. After one week, YG contacted CL and she got the message that he wanted to see her perform one more time, and that’s how it started. She was born into a tight disposition. ( ? ) Following her father, from the 2 years old to second grade, she spent her life in japan, and after living in france, she was naturally developed into variety of cultures. Including Japanese, she is fluent in English and French. She is very interested in fashion and art. She is currently into the study of lyrics and also composing. “When I don’t have practice, I go to dongdaemoon and study the current fashion. I like unique things (clothes). I also wear clothes that I remake. (Sandra park who is next to me said while hitting me, ‘let’s tell everyone it can even be used on the cover of the next album‘) It is still embarrassing even to sing.” Her dream is that she will stand on a 2ne1 performing stage. “I have the most greed of showing everyone what our true colors are. I want our own concert soon. We can even show our own talents in the concert. I hope that day will come soon.”
Sandara Park, “I have no regrets about giving up on entertainment career in the Philippines”
Sandara Park talks about not having being able to continue on her entertainer career in the Philippines as “no regrets”.
She said in a recent interview, “I was promoting as an entertainer in the Philippines, but I took the bold step and went on as YG trainee. But I have no regrets about not being able to continue my entertainer career in the Philippines.”
“Of course, training as a YG trainee, I have no guarantee for debut. I have no guarantee for success, but because I have dreams to be a Korean entertainer, I worked hard on it.”
Dara has been a reporter, actress and singer in the Philippines. She began to gain interests from Koreans after KBS introduced her in one of the programmes. When she went to Korea for a visit, she was given a basic test from YG Entertainment and then joined as a trainee a month later.
She went over to live in Korea and trained for 3 years before debuting as 2NE1.
After first about joining 2NE1, YG was a little doubtful about it. Because it seems that she has yet to get the hip hop ‘feel’. But Dara worked hart to show satisfaction. She kept listening to hip hop music and dance to hip hop dance.
About the photoshoot that became the topic amongst netizens lately taken in the Philippines, Dara explained about it. The idea of the photoshoot was suggested by one of the seonbae. But the photoshoot concept turned out to be different from what she thought.
Plus back then the atmosphere to the photoshoot was serious, she thought she could not run away from it. And with that she did a ’sexy’ photoshoot.
Gong Min Ji, “My grandmother does hunchback dance, I do hip hop dance"
Even the tough poppin dance wouldn’t be a problem for Gong MinJi, we can really see that this girl has a passion for dancing.
In a recent interview she said, “My grandmother likes the fact that I’m dancing and she gives me her support. She did not object when I said I want to be a singer.”
Gong MinJi is the granddaughter of famous dance Gong Ok Jin, who is known for her folk dance ‘hunchback dance’. Though the 2 dance to different dances, they both have the same passion.
MinJi said, “At first because I was introduced with grandmother’s name, it is quite a pressure for me. But with this pressure, I told myself I have to work harder. I will show my own powerful dance.”
“I really love dancing. I feel really delighted when I am dancing. Also I can feel the energy flowing through me. I can feel happiness through dancing.”
