Twice leads the way for third generation girl groups

Article: How did Twice become the leader of the third generation of girl groups?

Source: Herald Econ via Naver



1. [+269, -30] They have a great balance in terms of numbers for their digital sales, physical sales, YouTube views, and fandom. All of the members are individually unique, nobody really sticks out like a sore thumb. Their music videos make you feel good, their fan service is excellent on V app and fan signings. I really hope they keep grounded in their roots and continue to grow as a group that is loved~!!! :) ^0^~~~~!!

2. [+246, -28] Their biggest pro is that they communicate well with their fans. Other groups do too but they don't. They'll sleep for only two hours just so they can V app with their fans and hold fan signings for 2-3 hours at a time, making sure to give every fan that came eye contact and conversation. Jihyo also made sure to take care of Once's parents on parents' day.

3. [+218, -22] Twice~ cheer up~ shashasha~ you can't only listen to their song once! It's a big big hit song.

4. [+134, -14] All 9 members are charming and uniquely pretty in different ways! Their song is good too

5. [+128, -14] Like the article says, they have achieved the perfect formula for idol success with digital + physical sales + YouTube views. There's no other group other than Big Bang and Soshi who have these three down pat. They're a girl group that's sure to set records.

6. [+54, -4] I went to their Bookyung University festival performance and people were waiting since 10 ㅜㅜㅜ Everyone around me were men though ㅋㅋ

7. [+53, -5] Shashasha~

8. [+33, -0] JYP's girl groups always manage to become the #1 of their generations. They're always strong digitally so it's not a surprise that Twice is too but for them to also be strong in physical album sales + fandom and international fandom numbers is what makes them really daebak...

9. [+28, -0] It's not only the Korean market they're doing well in but the international market too. They get so many foreign YouTube comments that you can tell this group is for sure not your average group.

10. [+30, -2] They've been #1 on the digital charts for 4 weeks now! Their debut track is still at #20 and they've passed 100,000 physical sales. Mina, Sana, and Momo have secured the Japanese fanbase and Tzuyu's Taiwanese fame needs no further explanation!

AOA’s Seolhyun Dishes On The Toll Comeback Prep Had On Her Body



On May 16, AOA held a showcase for their fourth mini album “Good Luck” at the Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin.

During the showcase, AOA members dish on their time in Guam shooting the music video for title track “Good Luck” and preparing for their comeback.

Seolhyun talks about the toll that the comeback preparations had on her body. “It was a short trip. In a span of three days, we had to do the [album] jacket and music video simultaneously. Over the three days, I don’t think I even slept an hour in total. In the hot weather, I returned with a cold.”

Billboard: Girls' Generation's Tiffany Releases 'I Just Wanna Dance' EP

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Over a decade since being discovered in Los Angeles in 2004, Tiffany presented the world with her first solo album on Wednesday. I Just Wanna Dance is the Girls’ Generation member’s synth pop declaration of independence after nine years as a member of one of South Korea’s top girl groups.

I Just Wanna Dance gives Tiffany, born Stephanie Young Hwang, an audible canvas to paint a new image for herself. As the second of the eight Girls’ Generation members to release an album, following in the footsteps of Taeyeon who released I last year, Tiffany draws on her American roots for inspiration and the result is a modern take on some of the best retro music trends of the past three decades.

Ep.129 : [Dads Need Dads Too] It's the Parents' Day and the twins prepare a news show to give their grandpa a unforgettable present. The five siblings prepare a surprise birthday party for Donggook. They make the cake and seaweed soup themselves. Daebak has visited Daeul's house to spend some quality time. They share panties to become big boys and have fun at the Bumsoo playground. It's the new family! It's the charismatic actor Oh Jiho and his daughter Seoheun with a pretty smile and lush hair.

Sis NEKOKONNEKO didn't post this yesterday, and I have questions and I couldn't wait, lol. First off, I didn't know that there are going to be 3 new families joining the show? Is someone leaving? Or is it just for one episode? There's going to be so many little babies, I don't know how I feel about that. I used to have such a crush on Oh Jiho back in the day, didn't know he got married. Jaesi and Jaeah are so good with their younger sibilings, and Daebak is getting to be such a good speaker!

Jessica Jung Interview for Billboard

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

She’s back, with love.

The K-pop world held its breath in 2014 as then-Girls’ Generation member Jessica Jung left the group, marking the first departure since the supergroup was formed in 2007. Jessica’s soprano tone was at the heart of many of the group’s hit songs, and after her departure, she took her time getting back to music, focusing on other aspects of her career, such as launching a fashion brand. Now, a little less than two years since her departure, Jessica is ready to return to her musical roots.

With Love, J, Jessica’s first solo album, was released in South Korea on Tuesday (May 17). Dedicated to her fans, the EP contains six songs, many of which the starlet co-wrote, including singles “Fly” and “Love Me The Same.” Not ready to stop there, California-born Jessica is also releasing an English version of the EP digitally on May 27.

Calling in from Seoul a day before the release of her album, Jessica spoke to Billboard about the next phase in her career.

Well played YG. These (cheap) teasers are being posted on Instagram and feature candid photos posted in a "LINE chat" but are cute and endearing. It's annoying but smart because YG is skipping hair, wardrobe, makeup, and even set design costs with these. Bobby's was literally taken on the way to the airport.

The teasers are being posted at the same time the messages are being "sent." Who wants to bet how long until YG starts posting them late?
