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 can say all this and im not even a fan.

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.

Date: 2013-05-02 04:44 am (UTC)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)

Date: 2013-05-02 04:54 am (UTC)2) How are they going to get a killer single Korea goes nuts over? Listen to Tell Me Tell Me, I love it because its a Rainbow song, but if any other girl group did I wouldn't listen to it more than once. Whoever made it put in minimal effort into creating it, imo. If Rainbow ever has another comeback, next year hopefully, how much you wanna bet they're given another shit song?

Date: 2013-05-02 04:50 am (UTC)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?

Date: 2013-05-02 07:20 am (UTC)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*.
