Goo Hara and Thunder have become friends on Invincible Youth


KARA’s Goo Hara and MBLAQ’s Thunder became good friends on the most recent episode of Invincible Youth.

When MBLAQ visited the girls to help them do some farm work, Hara never left Thunder’s side.

In Korea, you have to speak formally to a stranger or someone older than you, so to get closer to Thunder, Hara suggested, “Let’s speak informally!” Thunder replied, “Okay. But you have to call me oppa.”

The two went together to get boxes and were basically partners throughout the whole show.

They decided to have a comfortable oppa-dongsaeng relationship.

Viewers commented,

“Goo Hara never left his side~”
“They look good together.”
“When they’re standing next to each other, light is shining off.”

I think they look good enough together to be more than just friends.

Netizens worry for the future of young GP Basic


With the group’s debut date just around the corner, GP Basic has been gaining explosive amount of attention from many, specifically due to their such young age. Besides Janey who currently attends elementary school, all members are merely middle school students.

Although their overall concept of “youth” is pretty fresh for K-pop industry, it seems like many people are worrisome for what’s awaiting for the girls. Some believe that dressing prepubescent girls in tight pants and high heels is ethically wrong and should not be attempted.

There is also a problem for GP Basic’s appearance on various music programs, since a handful of them require parental guidance for those under 15. The shows include KBS Music Bank, MBC Show! Music Core, and SBS Inkigayo. If all three shows ban young kids from even viewing the show, how will they be able to perform in the show?

About this question, Korea Communications Standards Commission declared, “The group’s appearance itself will not be a problem, but it is definitely inappropriate. Their choreography and wardrobe will be the main factor on our banning decision.”

I just can’t wait to see the girls’ first performance.

Introducing Janey, the youngest member of GP Basic!


GP Basic, a group that has yet to formally debut, is a recent hot topic in the music world today.

Preparing to debut with their song Game, GP Basic is already garnering interest, due to the very young ages of the six members. With one member still in elementary school, and five in the second year of junior high school, the group has earned the very fitting name of being the “nation’s youngest girl group.”

Among the members, the youngest member, Janey, is attracting a lot of attention in particular. In charge of rapping in the group, the elementary school sixth-grader has actually already starred in many CFs as a child actress.

Last year, she appeared on SBS’s Star King as “elementary school girl rapper”, and together with “little Seo In Young”, Ahn Joo Hee, the two girls showed their prowess with a cute and lively performance as the “Star King Girls”. With the performance, Janey showed off her rap skills with her unique husky voice, and even revealed a secret talent – the “shaking dance”.

All in all, she received lots of love from the viewers.

Next week, GP Basic will introduce themselves with a teaser of their music video!

Get ready to see some talent from these precocious girls!
