But jype overall were terrible managing day6 because they had no idea what to do lol, day6 would've probably disbanded long ago if they didn't pump out the everyday6 project and then start getting promoted the idol way (fansigns). And then day6 got dragged to Japan in 2018 but didn't really make much of an impact there either so jype just kind of stopped trying to branch them out. I think jype had ideas when they threw day6 to Taiwan for their first 3 years (Taiwan is home to a lot of cpop's biggest artists and there're bands like Mayday who're huge) but it seems like they lacked proper planning to set them up properly there (not even a single Chinese member/Chinese speaking member). And above all else, rock isn't a popular genre in Korea.ĭay6 and nflying are the biggest bands of gen 3 and yet day6 only finally hit 100k sales in their 6th year and are always forgotten to be from jype, and nflying barely even has a fanbase on twitter alone. And the pandemic now is affecting them even more because touring and gigs is what brings in most of their income (they have lesser chance at cfs compared to idols). Yes nflying and day6 have managed to chart, but it took them both about 5 years. The only 4th gen groups to have been invited (that I can recall off the top of my head) are Izone, Itzy and Aespa and even then their ratings were low. Variety shows will also be difficult, there aren't as many variety shows left now and the most prominent ones (Knowing Bros) usually invite big names. Youngk has even admitted to wanting to quit 2-3 years in and he trained for about 5 years to debuting.Īoa debuted with a dance side and a band side (fnc is known for producing bands) and they immediately ditched the band side 1-2 comebacks later because the dance group was doing so much better. Terrible mismanagement/lack of management from jype aside, day6 struggled for years + Jae did intense networking for them to have the recognition they have now. The reality of idol kbands in Korea is that they're simply not doing well, there're only a few exceptions that managed to break out into mainstream public (cnblue and ftisland) but bands in general don't get as many opportunities as idol groups. If you want a proper female equivalent to day6 then it's gonna be hard, they'd ideally have to be from the big 3 cause they're gonna need good financial backing and the company would have to be willing to push them hard and go all out. That was my two bits because a new female rock group is a need not just a want for the industry and would bring a refreshing change. A bunch of trained girls playing their music live while fans cheer on. Plus it gives trainees who have great vocal skills, but are not so god at dance, a chance to shine. Īs someone who prefers vocal groups and vocal performances, generally, I know this group would go big with me.
Girl hey my girl korean song ost full#
I know that SM has the full capacity to debut a group like this and make them popular ( heck, aespa or rv could do that with their amazing vocals ). I'm aware that there are girl bands ( I did my research, see ) but I want an actual debut under a company, where they post content, do variety shows and interviews, and basically every kpop thing ever. I'm not talking about a formed- a - group- with -my- friends band or an "artist" band ( like yerin baek's the volunteers, which is a mixed group btw) but more of a group of 5-6 trained girls who are basically kpop idols but make rock music and perform with instruments live instead of dancing. I think second gen was the last we saw of this concept. I know wonder girls did a band concept for a while but I haven't really seen any kpop companies debuting all female bands recently. I've seen so many kpop boy bands like day6, ft island, the rose and the latest one, lucy.
