'Brave Journalists' share girl group sponsor stories

[exo-cath.livejournal.com]

Let's find out about girl group sponsors. As you all know by now, they're extremely rich men! They have enough wealth and power to work some back stringers that can get people onto TV shows and such. They have hundreds of thousands in wealth, and most are personal businessmen, own real estate, or are just flat out chaebols.

These days, sponsors and celebrities will enter into a written contract for a specified period of time where they'll provide what each other needs. There are even sponsors that can help bring in more connections.

When new groups debut, it's usually only one member that receives the spotlight. That's been the trend of the industry for a while now. There's one group where one member in particular has unrivaled popularity in CF and acting offers - let's call her 'A'.

A used to have a sponsor who even helped her release her own solo album that hit total daebak, which made the other members jealous. One of the jealous members was 'B'.

B ended up joining one of A's meetings with her sponsor and drank together. B then purposely seduced A's sponsor and succeeded in getting him interested in her. Eventually, A lost her sponsor to B and B received a chance to have her own solo album funded by him.

The album ended up failing, though. Not just fail, but absolutely fail! A and B aren't on good terms anymore.


Another famous girl group member A has also been rumored to be in a relationship with a composer, which made another member B get jealous.

B also seduced that composer and finally succeeded in getting him to date her for a year. Unfortunately, the composer left her for another member C... and they are still dating today.

(Shin Dong Yub tries to fish for hints to guess who the group could be, asking if there are two other members in the group. He then asks if they're known for exposing their legs or their waists on stage)

They expose both areas and they're a girl group that really shows off their sexy beauty. All members, by the way, are adults.

Who do you think the journalist is talking about? Some people said BEG for the first story I think, but I don't know much about them so not sure D:

sounds like either 4min or beg.

[nudecolors.livejournal.com]

I kinda thought 4min too but only Hyunah had a solo album, so....

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]

Yep I think BEG too because they're the only girl group with two members having a solo album

[spaceinvaduhh.livejournal.com]

all BEG members has released their own solo albums actually. but I only know that narsha and gain made it pretty well, not sure about jea and miryo tho.

[nudecolors.livejournal.com]

hmmm this is interesting

[hina.livejournal.com]

The only thing that doesn't fit BEG is that all the members announced at the same time that they would release solos. That said there were gaps between releases.

Narsha - June 2010
GaIn - October 2010
Miryo - February 2012
JeA - Jan 2013

(do any BEG stans know how well their solo work did?)

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

GaIn was the only one whose release was a success.

[spaceinvaduhh.livejournal.com]

2nd story reminds me of miss a's goodbye baby O.o

[p3rk3le.livejournal.com]

lately whenever i hear such things my mind goes to Hyeri... I mean, maybe I'd get it if it was someone like Eric, but its Tony! Sure I liked him on shows, but as a "nice ahjussi" not a "hot oppa"... I just dont see it.

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Mte about Eric. Ajusshi is fine

[prettyminstrel.livejournal.com]

1st one: BEG, 2nd: Sistar/Rainbow?

[hina.livejournal.com]

Honestly, a group that shows off legs and waists with all members over 20 could refer to SO MANY groups. I personally thought of Dal Shabet since their outfits for Be Ambitious show off both.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

the same discussion is happening on the NB website...i think the guy is lying. not entirely, but partly (maybe to not give away the group in case he gets threatened by the company) tbh, no group matches the description that he gives

[soramai.livejournal.com]

I want to know who is A and B in the first case and the group in the second case.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Either he's exaggerating because no group fits or he's talking about a past story and older girl groups, because none of the current groups make any sense.

Also I wouldn't call him brave, unless it's a shade at Brave Brothers being the composer involved.

[almightykuzon.livejournal.com]

I think I might be familiar with the second case. Feel like I've heard something like that before.

Let us list solos

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Secret:

Jieun Solo success
Sunhwa had a unit song.

Nope

AS: Uee's had CF's and Acting success

Uee's Solo didn't do well.
Kahi's solo didn't do well.

Nope

2ne1:

Bom's solo slay
CL's didn't do that well but it didn't flop.

Bom ain't no CF/acting star

Nope

BEG:

All solo's announced before hand. I doubt it.

Old Jewelry?

Seo In Young tends to do really well. Didn't she have decent success with her solos songs, I remember Cinderlla.

Though Park Jungah's solo came before hand.

So probably nope.

None of the girl groups I can think of fit?

Unless GD's sponsor got him an album and then Seungri/Taeyang/Daesung seduced him to get a solo and there's didn't do so well.

Mystery solved:D

*Gasp* what if the lie is all these are really about boy groups and not girls? :o

[stephantasm.livejournal.com]

sounds like bullshit

[markama.livejournal.com]

Catching

[goldynchickie.livejournal.com]

No girl group fits the 1st one and it could be any girl group for the 2nd one

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

for all we know, we we're thinkig it's a girlgroup but in the end it's a boy group

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

The guy probably made this up as the first description doesn't fit any girl group. Korean journalists have no integrity.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

these journalists are far from brave.

Sherlock Hummus over here ya'll ...

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

2nd Could be AS, SNSD, Rainbow, 4 minute, Donno any of the new ones.... Or any other girl group in Korea :)

Re: Sherlock Hummus over here ya'll ...

[achan123.livejournal.com]

"Sherlock Hummus "

BWAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHHAAHAHAAA!!! XD

[queenbratinella.livejournal.com]

First could be Seeya? But then the other girl didn't really release an album, more of a single and it bombed, so.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

Maybe A is Hyori? She kinda blew up, did the other members try to release albums? She tried acting once and it was horrible so she never did it again.

Honestly, I think this is just a fake story for views. I don't see why a girl group member with immense popularity would need a sponsor to release an album. Usually the sponsor helps them get CF deals and acting jobs where the company can't reach.

[45s.livejournal.com]

This sounds like boy groups (first one) more than a girl group.

[atelierlune.livejournal.com]

This wouldn't be the first time someone has suggested that a member of BEG was in a relationship with a sponsor/rich ajusshi (it was in blind items within the last couple of years).

If you're not willing to name names or even labels, it's not that brave.

[noodroid.livejournal.com]

If you're not willing to name names or even labels, it's not that brave.
yeah basically. tho i'd be a bit scared of someone from SM or another big label coming after me and beating me up for spreading their secrets so i wouldn't list names either. p:

i was always under the impression that everyone from BEG got along. my heart, it is breeeeaaaaking at the idea that they'd be fussing within the group.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

So...it's a boy group?

Because I can't think of any girl groups that match it

[aya-sama3000.livejournal.com]

2nd group could so be Rania

didnt one of the members date a composer once [or was he a producer or something?]?

and by the korean age system...the two youngest members are 19 soon to be 20 this year

oh yeah i got this BD

[jazzy4heard.livejournal.com]

A screams Suzy at first.. but then comes the releasing album part..
