Saw them in Soompi's 2013 K-pop Girl Group Debuts video and thought they deserved their own post

I was able to find a little information about them. I guess they're all from different parts of Korea and rap/sing in their own dialects--one's from Gyeongsang-do, another's from Jeolla-do, and another is from Seoul. I kind of wish I knew what this song was about, though.

Thanks for the info <333 It's a bit like they decided to take the concept of Bangtan's "Satoori Rap" for their group concept.

lmao i wanted to learn more about them after that soompi 2013 gg debut vid. thanks for this post!

I usually don't like joke songs but this is such a fun jam! I really like the singer's voice, and she kind of looks like 4minute's Sohyun.
Apparently this song's a pre-release and a mini is coming out sometime this month. Either way, I'm here for better female rappers.

Also OP, you spelled their name wrong in the title!

Whoops. ^^ Corrected, thanks for the catch!

That's actually nice
Since concepts these days are only "cute/sexy" it's nice to see some girls not taking themselves too seriously.
Maybe "funny" makes it to the list of concepts in 2014? lol

yesss funny concepts all the way. kpop needs to take itself less seriously

[awsteven.livejournal.com]

stanning them already. i wish i knew korean b/c i really want to understand the lyrics. the lead singer's voice is really nice and the two rappers have decent flow. i'm all for them embracing funny and cheeky concepts! needs to happen more tbh

Lol, they're pretty funny. Psycho, but also pretty funny.

I just did a quick translation of their lyrics into English and put them up on Wordpress, if anyone is interested in checking it out: http://randomkpoptranslations.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/al-tang-translated/

Disclaimer: I probably did miss the more subtle cultural things in the song, since I've never actually lived in Korea, and I don't follow a lot of Korean web culture either. But it should still help you understand the song a bit better.

The song is pretty good for such a nugu debut

[khayel.livejournal.com]

now i want to know more about them

[xonatejennyxoxo.livejournal.com]

The song is pretty awesome and I love the idea of them singing and rapping in their dialects. May have found another girl group to like.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

I like them! Can't wait for the album so I can start stanning properly

[jeliza]

Oh, I like these goofs! Glad you pulled them out of the nugu post, OP. It looks like they filmed half of it on an iphone :P

I *think* that the version on their official channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC4mBbUJRbc -- looks like they are signed to Pony Canyon Korea?
