Jaekyung gave her own opinions on why Rainbow wasn’t as popular as some of the other girl groups.

She appeared on the April 30 episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education‘ where she was asked about Rainbow. She said, “Rainbow isn’t as popular because we didn’t have any big issues, like an accident or friction between team members.

Her outburst surprised the staff because even though many idols come out on variety shows to promote their group, none had been so forthright to say that their group hadn’t succeeded. However, she made everyone laugh by saying, “I’ll make some kind of issue so Rainbow can succeed.

akp

Pls Jaekyung you know why Rainbow are still nugus 3(almost 4!) years after debuting,


all better now mods! :))

I swear if DSP manage them better Jaekyung would be so popular. The type every guy wants to date and every girl hates on because they secretly want to be her.

She smart, atheltic, pretty, can sing AND dance, she's talented with crafts and baking, she can pull of being sexy (the Bora kind, not Hyuna kind) but has that certain groundedness to her that you can't really say she's slutty or whatever.

I can say all this and im not even a fan.

Yeah I agree, I saw her in a few eps of Oh My School and instantly liked her despite knowing nothing about Rainbow. And you could tell all the other girls on the show gravitated towards her & treated her as a bit of a leader, she has that natural charisma/alpha-type personality. She's so gorgeous I would have expected her to have a sort of Suzy/Yoona type popularity thing going on (if not quite to that level), but that doesn't seem to be the case which surprises me.

She's is dare i say, prettier and more talented than those two imo. But i also believe her beauty isnt really what most koreans like. Though may they'll notice if they play her up more as a pretty person like kang min kyung or yoona or suzy.

Girl is very charamistic and doesnt have that bland look going on so idg why not more people find her gorgeous.

Gosh, I can't agree more.
I really liked her in Oh! My School too. She was one of those people that can be good at pretty much anything they wanted to be good at and yet still be sort of down-to-earth about it. I also love how despite her looking absolutely gorgeous she gets treated like any other female talent (unlike that other actress girl who always gets paired with Minho) because of her somewhat laid-back personality.

She's really seems to be good at whatever she tries but she's so chill about it and there's no media play regarding how well-rounded she is or how pretty she is. They're not really pushing her as a visual like what they did with other girl groups. Rainbow could have been that girlgroup who had a visual who could actually slay in singing and dancing and not just stand still and look pretty,

I totally agree.

Jaekyung has always been one of my faves because she's so well-rounded.

Right, that's the reason...

I think Rainbow's kind of missed their chance tbh. The only thing that could bring them back from the pits of nugu hell is a killer single that Korea goes nuts over and they win a #1 (and get the other members on variety damn)

Idol groups in general have a window of time where they have to get to a certain popularity or they just end up releasing music for the same x number of fans without gaining anymore or any recognition. DSP's probably clueless what to do with them since they aren't nugu enough to just disband quietly and not popular enough to keep going fully. I really want Rainbows next single to be for them what Honey was for KARA, their break out song that pushes them out into the spotlight.

If they do ever go their separate ways, which will happen at some point, Jaekyung did say she wanted to be a fashion designer. She got her degree in it already and everything.

Their debut sucked, but they had comebacks after that that did pretty well. And then DSP decided to try to make money in Japan because DSP has no faith in making money anywhere else, I guess, and they were away for ages. (Although they probably still made more money there than in SK.) So I feel like they have to build themselves up again, but they are at least in much better condition than any 2012 girlgroups, considering Tell Me Tell Me seemed to do alright, as underwhelming as it was to me personally.

*looks @ title* That's probably why my family gets screwed over. :(

Anyhoo, I doubt that's the reason for the group's popularity tho.

That gif is perfect.
Then again, anything Woori is.

I think it's important to point out that she wasn't serious about that. It was just a joke and self-jab on the show to lighten the mood. Jenny just didn't make that clear in the translation, so it makes it seem like she truly believes that's the reason.

Had she been serious, I think comments would be more scathing.

BTW, where'd you get that gif OP?

Oh I could tell you knew, I just didn't think others could. And judging by some of the comments here, some people don't.

:/

Yeah... nothing to do with the fact that Rainbow haven't had any songs with serious impact. I can only remember that recent song of theirs because it got stuck in my head, and imo it wasn't particularly great.

DSP should just start paying people to search them at quiet times or bulk buy their albums, like some other now popular groups have done *cough*.

Maybe you should get with me Jaekyung, that scandal will definitely put you on the top of the charts!

Or at least on top of things anyways

said like that it's like you WANT to have a car accident and the members to hate each other
