Korea’s youngest girlgroup GP Basic has been garnering great interests outside Korea as Korea’s Disney singers.

Some famous Disney singers include Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus etc. And debuting as Korea’s youngest girlgroup, GP Basic has been referred to many netizens on Youtube after the release of their debut song ‘Game’ MV as Korea’s Disney singers.

The criticisms from netizens circled around the role of singers debuting so young and whether they will be able develop their individual styles. The discussions on this are also seen going on on various local community sites amongst netizens.

 

Even though there are such concerns for the mentioned American Disney singers at first, they are all successful as representatives of the American pop market now. But it is a good sign since the girls are being compared to these successful artiste and are even receiving good reviews from foreign netizens.

This is good news for Korea since it may signal that the Kpop market is following the American and European music market, taking on the trend of going high-quality and having the cultural contents as a music market.

The girls’ agency also voiced that it is encouraging to know that the girls are being compared to as Disney Singers, who are known for their singer capabilities, on Youtube which is an international site even before it did on local community sites.

The agency added, “Singers from our country has once again received acknowledge from the foreigners. And we look forward to the era where we will be able to have influence not just in Asia but also in the States and in Europe.”

Being young does not make you a 'Disney' singer. Pretty sure you need to, you know, have worked for Disney for that.

Disney Singers, who are known for their singer capabilities

It's true; Miley, Selena and the Jonas Brothers are paragons of pitch perfect vocals that K-pop could learn a lot from.

They sell uber well, so that's probably what counts as a good trend in the eyes of marketers...

well, I am more comfortable with their ages if I go with the comparison.
But if that's the case, their agency should follow along with the Disney style. nothing too fierce, just very fun and lively. Disney stars don't branch out until their time with Disney is ending.

This is exactly how I feel/think!!
So GP Basic (and similar ppl) should focus on tweens and not act like jailbaits for pedo-bears.

Janey should be placed in the middle or something because she sticks out like a sore thumb even when she's not in the middle. And then she just disappears when she's dancing in the back.

OMG I just found out that the oldest girl in GP Basic is 14!
Good God, these girls should be worrying about pimples and their first boyfriend, not stardom~
And the youngest is 11? No.... just no.

It's 14, 14, 14, 13 (nearly 14--September), 13 (nearly 14--December) and 11 (nearly 12--December). They're soooo yooooung.

Couldn't their company wait for Janey to grow some boobs before they let them debut? It's so disturbing seeing her do some chest popping and hip thrusting...DNW

THEY DON'T SOUND DISNEY. THEY SOUND LIKE ALL THAT AUTOTUNEY STUFF THAT CLOGS THE AIRWAVES IN SK.

At least Disney is manufactured, bubblegum pop different from the mainstream club bangers. GP Basic are.... basic. They stand out because of their age, but their song, concept, talent is on par with the other recent newcomers.

I think this whole Disney "compliment" situation in just a bit lost-in-translation debacle. I mean, many late teens & 20s girls in Japan like Disney. I mean, they LOVE Disney (even the Jonas and the Miley and the High School Musical).
