2. Jia, Min, Suzy and Fei
3. 20.75-years-old
4. 163.75cm (5′3″)
5. 45.75kg (100 lbs)
6. Bad Girl Good Girl
7. Facial expressions are unlike a rookie group’s
8. They will follow in the Wonder Girls’ footsteps. On stage, they’re bad girls but off stage, they are shy good girls. Also, they all have amazing fresh faces.

SISTAR started the girl group trend this year. They did a collaboration with Jang Geun Suk called Magic Drag for Samsung Yepp and made their “cat dance” popular. Then came miss A, comprised of two Chinese members and two Korean members, they won various music shows just weeks after debuting. Girl’s Day followed shortly, though their YouTube videos fully shows off their talents, they have been going through a hard time showing this talent off on stage. However, they’ve been steadily building a fanbase by going on variety shows. Nine Muses debuted just earlier this week and grabbed people’s attention because they’re basically all supermodels. Their long legs have been taking up the stages this week and making guys drool.

So, why so many of them?

It looks like girl groups don’t seem to have as high of a failure rate as boy groups or solo singers. These new girl groups have already been gaining so much attention. The reason why you can rely on girl groups to bring in the income is because there’s always teenage boys and ahjusshi (old men) fans to trust. They can also go perform at various events which always require a pay day. Supposedly, Secret gets paid around $8000 per event performance while a group like 4minute gets paid around $12,000 per event.

They also get love calls from all kinds of variety shows and many of the girl group members move on to even bigger things such as dramas. Fans also download their albums online, another way they make money. One professional in the field of the music industry said, “You can rely on girl groups for a stable and steady income. Many people want to invest in them so girl groups will keep coming out for now. They don’t have the best response when they debut but if they get a good song, they can get big any moment. Girl groups are taking over music, ads, events, variety shows and acting. From the supply and demand perspective, the girl groups will keep coming.”

The person continued, “There is more than one person so there might be a lot of pressure to succeed. When one member gets famous or a sub-unit becomes popular, the company can still benefit off of the group. Even if a member leaves the group, the company can still use the group to do whatever they want.”

But why girl groups over boy ones? That is because most people who aspire to be singers are girls. At SM, JYP, Cube, YG and other companies, they all currently have 20-40 trainees. Out of those trainees, at least half or more are girls. So all this begs the quest, who’s the hottest rookie girl group from the list?

You just can't believe that Nine Muses is the number 2 trending topic WORLDWIDE? well you gotta believe it!


It even beat topics such as SS3 and SHINeebankifer. But actually, the reason why Nine Muses are talked about so much is because of people bashing them seriously hard all over the world!

It seems that people are paying more attention bashing Nine Muses rather than celebrating or congratulating BoA who has won Number 1 on Music Bank after 5 years and even rather than getting excited or so on Super Junior's first concert today in Seoul for their Super Show 3!

I guess it's unavoidable for people to bash an idol group but to this extent? Nine Muses are making a very rough start, but what's more interesting to see is that there are people who would rather take their time and say bad things to Nine Muses than be happy or congratulate BoA and Super Junior for their own respective events.

Random comments about Nine Muses on twitter are:


"Why do people act like it's either Nine Muses or Soshi? They're two different groups. You can like both, one or neither, it doesn't matter."
" People are annoying me with all the SNSD & Nine Muses comparing. Don't fans have better things to do then bicker about this?"
"Nine Muses are models gone wrong. Please. Go and practice more. Then, you can come in front of our face."
"SNSD versus NINE MUSES"
"No offence but Nine Muses kinda suckish. They cant sing live. Why do they even debut? Is it just bcos they have a pair of long legs? xD"


Isn't it funny how this is all going?

JunYoung told us about the leader's difficult point: "There's no particular difficult point, we all get along well before we knew it the hyungs didn't had dongsaeng anymore. (laugh) Seeing that our dongsaengs sometimes eat their hyungs up it became a habit so we had to put a limit. Plus, listening to all nine persons feeling is a bit tiring. So it's good that the members are really reliable."

We hear a lot that JunYoung looks a lot like DBSK's ex-member 'Micky Yoochun' it became a hot topic. "I myself like this senior. I'm really honored, because it was an opportunity to make me a bit more known I'm honored. From now on I won't look like Micky Yoochun but I'll show only Moon JunYoung's charms. If I personally meet the group, I want to ask if they heard about the look-a-like picture who became an issue."

With maknae DongJun he appeared on the last 'Mnet scandal', it became the center of discussion, they had one women for two so when we asked if the competitiveness was for real he said: "We simply showed a confrontation with DongJun as a hyung I had to do a concession. But, if he stole my girlfriend I wouldn't forgive him."

JunYoung added: "I can give everything, I'm absorbed in though relationship style so it seems that I can't date easily. If I had an ideal type, she would have a nice skin, and be lively, I like courteous women. If it has to be a TV actress hum... Kim SoYeon senior from the drama ? I liked a lot the cameo appearance. From when I was young I was a fan, she knew all the 9 members name I was really shocked. When I met her she had the personality from the heroine from the drama, in fact because she was a lively actress she is admirable, haha!"

For the end of the year JunYoung wants to get the Rookie of the Year award.

TaeHun. He usually liked sports, he has the rank of 'Body jjang star', he said: "Because I started to do sports and eat chicken breasts I learned how to use Rain senior's 'Kettle Bell'. I succesfully lost 12kg thanks to this but even so I didn't starve. I have the habit of doing sports constantly so I'm really happy."

In all the people you know you don't have any idol you're close too? "That's because I'm not allowed to use a cellphone or to have a minihompy... but, I want to get close to 'C.N Blue''s Jung Yonghwa. Sometimes during the broadcasting the circumstances made that we had to salute each other and it left a deep impression. It seems that this person is shy like me, haha!"

In the past when he thought about his deceased parents, he said that if he becomes a singer he'll come to their graves and will read them the news. "My heart really hurt, when I searched 'Children of Empire' on internet I read a lot of comments, they made an issue about my deceased parents, I was hurt by these comments. If I received words with a nice meaning it would be good.".

TaeHun want to receive the Rookie of the Year award at the end-of-year music awards. Plus, he said that his goal was to someday personally write the lyrics for Children of Empire's album and do the producing.

SiWan said about his sincere school days image and his memories of changing dream "I wasn't in a situation where I could change even a small thing. I could only dream of escaping, I wished I could go on trip oversea. I was tired of Korea's hasty culture, and seeing foreign countries' peaceful cultures, I was longing for it."

For this third single, SiWan who took the role of visual director said "I didn't thought I had a lot of talents. I worked hard on everything because I had to reach various stages to get my dream of being singer completed, one day I'll be successful as a singer and after that I want to try to challenge another work field."

He said that the most difficult thing about this album was to understand the nine people diversity. "On stage we have an unified image, it seems that put on relief each member charms was the most difficult. And now like every day we're putting efforts in it, haha!"

His biggest goal is to get the Rookie of the Year award. SiWan's dream is not only to get their music known in Korea but also oversea.

If you got to win on the TV show you could make a donation of a trophy made of 50 don* of pure gold to needy neighbours, DongJun said: "I don't worry about it I'll donate. If I get the possibility to help then I want to win this prize. From when I was young I had this weird feeling to help, with the friends from my neighbourhood we went to ill person's house and did the cleaning. It was a small thing but when I got to hear "Thank you" I wanted to do it again... Is it in my genes? (laugh)"

Especially on variety show, DongJun has to use his body a lot which is a bit worrying. "I'm not tired at all. I still enjoy it. I couldn't become an athlete. I could play with my feet at football well but I was a bit weak at playing with my hands at basketball, haha!"

You have been the assistant team leader... "My role was only to repeat what some hyungs said to other hyungs. However, KwangHee hyung always take what I say like jokes and it's really irritating." What if you become the leader? "Me as a leader? As soon as I'll become the leader the team will just be destroyed. (laugh) But I'm not the assistant leader so I'll only do maknae things so please understand me, hehe!"

Maknae DongJun trademark is his winning spirit. "This seems to be the most important. I just naturally have to have the control, if not then I'll think "what am I able to do then?""
These days do you still hear about Han GaIn? "I hear it even more. These days the drama is really popular and the fans did for fun some photo comparison... Later on if I meet nuna I want to say sorry because I've been using her image."

*50 don = 187,825 grams = 6,625 ounces

HyungShik is a professional to do 'the innocent face that tricks the hyungs'. "One day after finishing the schedule, we were all tired and were going back to our dorm then I lied and said: "Hyungs! I heard manager hyung say that we had to go at the training hall to practice!" (laugh) The hyungs get easily tricked they're silly, SiWan hyung trust my lies the most, sometimes when they think my lies are the truth I'm really proud of myself."

Is there a member from an idol group you're close to? "In fact during the filming of I got close to all the members of F.Cuz, DNA (The BOSS) and MBLAQ, but since our schedules don't match with theirs we can't ordinary call each others, so we only meet at music show's waiting room. And they don't seem to get tricked so easily. I must not look that innocent when I lie then. (laugh)"

HyungShik who entered university some times ago with DongJun said: "Sometimes my brother talks about student life and it makes me really envious. At the company we often go to the workshop but still I wish I could enjoy my student life."

HyungShik wants ZE:A to be an unforgettable group to the others singers and said a bit greedily that he wanted to receive the Rookie of the Year award. "If we receive the Rookie of the Year award, I think I would only cry. And if I don't, maybe I shouldn't show it?"

Because of their title song 'Separation Drip' we asked Children of Empire's main vocal Kevin if he already had a painful separation and he replied: "I never had a big sorrow. Plus to separate you have to be a bit grown up, even if I don't have any experiences but I can't lie to the other one to break up."

He's from Australia and said that the most difficult thing in Korea is the system. "Since I was adapted to Australian culture when I first came in Korea I had a lot of difficulties with the system. Now with some efforts I'm overcoming it."

Do you understand the feelings of your fellows idols that come from foreign countries like Nicole, Bekha and Amber? "We all give understanding and consideration to each other, we can't keep asking "how can I overcome that?" and think that there's only our group when there's people that lived the same experience."

Your mother did in the past some singer activities too, as a senior does she give you some tips? "She said that there was going to be a lot of difficult things. I've grown up in Australia, and since I've went through adolescence I just naturally made efforts to stand up. My mom always gives me some good advices."

This year's wish for Kevin is to make Children of Empire a group that receive more recognition from the others singers. "I want that each member's talent get recognized. I just want to work hard to give my best, haha!"

The 9 handsome men (JunYoung, SiWan, Kevin, TaeHun, HeeChul, MinWoo, HyungShik, DongJun) are performing on one stage. The fangirls who each have a style of men they like seem to be cheering for their voices. From their predebut days to their exceptionnal shows, they made a solid path, they were determined to make Asia's best idol group, after Children of Empire triumphal entry to the singers' world, at the middle of the year, there's already over 20'000 people at their official fan cafe.

Children of Empire already released their third single 'Separation Drip' and showed its teaser who has a wild 'racing' concept with a sporty look, which caught the attention of the fans. They're constantly receiving a lovecall from our whole country, Japan, Thailand, and all Asia's countries, plus on various variety show they showed off they talents and charms, they even received the nickname of 'variety-dol and are actually having busy activities.

"(DongJun) We have to work hard. So it seems that we got the nickname 'Efforts-dol'. Seeing that we have so much members, when were together our competition spirit grows, when something difficult happens or when we're worried, we help each others so we naturally make efforts to get well together. (laugh)"
Children of Empire's passion is so touching that for their third digital single the compositior Park Geuntae revealed hisstrongs ambitions to "make them become Asia's best idol group". Plus, in this album the song 'Separation Drip' is not simply cute and innocent, the members personnality are put on relief with this strong track and it's even more refreshing to the fans.

"(Kevin) I don't want our group to become another simple idol group. My parents stayed faraway in Australia, I came alone in Korea with the decision to become singer but that wasn't an easy thing."

Children of Empire is not a group with mystical tendencies. Since 2006 they prepared themselves and did more than 50 gerilla concerts while doing a country tour and received the nickname 'Road-dol', thanks to their music and their perfomances they received recognition. This outcome means that they're no more rookies when they shed tears and sweat to do their perfomances.

"(JunYoung) I don't want to receive recognition only because of our faces. For this album we couldn't personnally take part in the producing but for the choreography we always showed new things to our dance professor. And for this album concept we wanted to show a really manly side so we learned martial arts from 'Julian Kang' and showed off the 'Kickdance'...We said that we had to do the best performance as rookies and we thought it was the best way to make it."

For those who don’t know, miss A’s Chinese members, Jia and Fei, along with Hye Lim, now a member of Wonder Girls, had promoted in China with the name, JYP Sisters.

Although the three made successful debuts in the industry through different girl groups now, they could not hide their feelings on being split up.

On a recent interview with TVdaily, Jia and Fei stated that they miss Hye Lim. Fei stated, “miss A is receiving much more attention than we thought we’d get, and Hye Lim is surprised and happy for us.”

She then continued, “When Hye Lim said that she was joining the Wonder Girls, we were happy but at the same time, sad. Since we worked together for three years, it was sad to see a member leave. However, we are happy that she is doing well, and we hope that the group gains more success. We phone her frequently, stating how much we miss her.”

Even though they split up, the three are doing very well and we hope for them to keep it up.

4minute had an interview in their practice room with Bae Ki Wan, Choi Young Ah, and Jo Hyung Ki’s Good Morning. During the interview, maknae Sohyun revealed that she used to be scared of member HyunA.

When asked who had the scariest first impression, she chose HyunA. She said, “HyunA was short compared to other people. She stood out. She didn’t talk much, and she wasn’t doing much, so I was more scared.”

It turns out that she took HyunA’s shyness in the wrong way. Sohyun also thought Gayoon was a worker at the company, because Gayoon would chat with workers there all the time.

In the same interview, leader Jihyun said that she wants to become a CF model for cosmetics, while Gayoon wants to endorse cell phones. Jiyoon wants to advertise cars, HyunA chose jeans, and Sohyun chose consumer products.

I always thought Sohyun was shorter than HyunA, but maybe HyunA uses the magic of killer heels.

I knew you were too handsome
Your words were too sweet
The way you stared at me wasn’t average
Your ability to put your arm on my shoulder
Too naturally was too skillful

Oh, as I expected
Why are my hunches always right?
Just like how unlucky it felt
You were a player
Oh, what you said to me
Wasn’t just for me
But what you also say to all the other women

*I don’t want no playboy, I don’t want a delinquent
What would I do with a kid that doesn’t know what love is, forget it
I don’t want no playboy, I don’t want a player
Are you crazy? Why would I be anxious and care about you?
No playboy

I have other things making my head hurt besides you
I’m busy trying to do my own thing well
I don’t have time to play around with a little kid like you
Go play with the other cute kids
I want a real man, I’m waiting for a real man

Oh, as I expected
Why are my hunches always right?
You acted manly
But for some reason, I didn’t believe it
Oh, what you said to me
Wasn’t just for me
But what you also say to all the other women

*Repeat x2

Let me try to break it down for you one time
I don’t hate you because you deceived me, so don’t worry
I’m too busy to have time to hate you, I’m sorry, little baby
Don’t worry because noona says she’s kind of busy
And just go play somewhere else

Idol girl group f(x) has recently become a hot issue after staff members for a recent endorsement stated that the members “have no manners.”

Recently, an affiliated staff member for a CF f(x) was shooting commented on Twitter along with a picture, “f(x) filming. Only Victoria and Luna are likable. Listening to Krystal and Sulli’s demands are harder than picking stars out of the sky.”

Another staff member also added a comment that agreed to this as they wrote on their minihompy along with a picture of f(x), “During this summer period where I have to interview f(x) with a lot of inexperienced interns made my entire body ache. Sulli, Krystal do not have basic manners and Victoria looks much prettier in person. Luna too, was very bright and the most beautiful. People like Luna are the type to be successful no matter what they do.”

However, as soon as these words started to become a controversy the staff member who wrote it quickly changed the words to, “I didn’t know these words were viewable to the entire public. The f(x) members had to film for the entire night.” Despite the effort to defend the girls, netizens still showed strong feelings towards the issue.

A netizen from an online community commented, “They all had the same hard and tiring schedule but only Krystal and Sulli are especially expressionless…It’s not only the words but the pictures show their attitude as well so I’m disappointed.” While some netizens tried to protect Sulli and Krystal by saying that netizens are overreacting when there is no video clip to prove this claim, most netizens showed a negative response.

Meanwhile, Krystal has already once before apologized to fans for her rude attitude on popular variety program, Quiz That Changes the World.

Recently, miss A member Min became the center of a hot topic among netizens when pictures of her face without makeup were revealed online. Many commented that Min looked better without makeup, and suggested for her to not put on makeup during broadcasts.

Shortly after the incident, Min herself talked about her bare face, as she said, “Well, I don’t know why people said that. Do I look that different? But I don’t understand the standards for what people consider to be ‘pretty’. Maybe it’s because I lived abroad for a long time, but I think my standards are different.”

Min continued on with a confused expression, “Korean people like…should I say…innocent? I think they believe people who look kind are pretty. But the standards for what I believe is pretty is a bit different. But I think that now I lost my standards too, haha. So now I’m really confused over what is pretty. People ask me often if I am confident with my bare face, but I don’t think it’s important whether I put on makeup or not. I’m the type that doesn’t really care.”

Fellow member Jia contributed, “First, the skills are most important. Our goal is not to emphasize and show our appearances, but to hear that we are a really skilled group. Please watch us for now.”

Upcoming girl group GP Basic uncovered their maknae just a few days ago and now they revealed the group’s leader Hannah.

I already have something against this group because it’s ridiculous that they are so young but I’ll give them a shot.

The leader is known for looking a bit like f(x)’s Sulli even though I don’t really see the resemblance. She is one of the best students at Sung Seo Middle School. It’s already been revealed that she is in her second year of middle school which is 8th grade in America.

She’s entered many dance contests as a young child and won third place at the Asian Pacific Dance Sports Competition. She also won second place at the MBC Pro Ama Dance Sports Competition.

The company said, “Hyena’s experience shows that she has a special talent in dancing. Please look forward to her role as the leader.”

A girl that’s not even in high school is going to lead five other girls. Am I the only one that thinks their company is depriving them of their childhoods?
