WHICH IDOL MEMBER HANDLES THE ‘VISUALS’ IN GIRL GROUP?

[kishikiari.livejournal.com]

Korean girl groups have jumped over the Korean market to take over Japan, China, Taiwan, and other foreign countires around the world.

Along with their pretty and cute appearance, the groups have captured the hearts of Asian fans with their addictive songs that are easy to sing and dance along to. Many groups have been able to lead successful debuts in foreign countries recently, while those who have not begun overseas activities yet, have been taking over music charts in Korea.

With their great popularity in mind, there have been memebers in these various groups that were focused on due to their looks. Not only do these memebers who handle the ‘visuals‘ in the groups increase their own popularity, but they raise the group’s popularity in general.

One of these noted members is KARA‘s GOO HARA. Goo Hara is well-known by many as it was also revealed that she looks very similar to the top japanese singer Namie Amuro. It would not be much of a problem if one were to say that Goo Hara was the one that helped KARA get to where they are now by being active by appearing on various shows.



Another girl group member that is known for ‘hanling the visuals’ in the group is SNSD‘s YOONA. With her doll-like face to her cheerful smile, she has amde male fans’ hearts flutter as soon as she debuted. Because she is so popular, people may have been able to notice that she is usually in a position that allows her to stand out during their performances. As she has a talent in acting, she has also acted as the lead female role in a past drama.

Talented girl group 2NE1‘s visual memeber is SANDARA PARK. Not only does she look young to the point where her real age is hard to believe with her ‘honey skin‘, she also has a cute voiceand has skillful vocals, gaining much love from fans.

Of the groups, f(x) has the special characteristic of all the members handling the visuals of the group. Many members have their own individual schedules, and their own images can be seen clearly. Sulli, who was a child actress, has benn active with modelling in fashion shows, participating in CFs, as well as being MC for a music program. Chinese member Victoria is also appearing on MBC ‘We Got Married’ alongside 2PM‘s Nichkhun at the moment, gaining her own popularity.

Other girl groups, such as Brown Eyed Girls, 4Minute, Secret, and Rainbow, all seem to have their own member that handles the visuals of their respective groups. Depending on how that member changes, their popularity, as well as the group’s, changes. We will be looking forward to each of these members’ future activities.

[hoydens.livejournal.com]

nice way of saying "pretty but useless"

[angelonair.livejournal.com]

"raise the group’s popularity in general"


That's not exactly useless.

[jaemin0.livejournal.com]

nice how they chose..like, the least talented girls from the respective groups. lmao.
i agree with dara tho! i still like to lie to myself and believe she's 19.

[imyoona.livejournal.com]

Yoona isn't the least talented though lmao

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

sulli looks terrible in that pic /:

[adorableyuu.livejournal.com]

dara's pic looks worser :(

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

brand new information

[wearehappiness.livejournal.com]

Wow so many spelling errors lol.

[corrakun.livejournal.com]

kpoolive isn't a spelling error, what are you talking about

[yejun.livejournal.com]

Well, imo Victoria wins. But...... each to their own.

[cityincolors.livejournal.com]

So cuteee XD

[honeyfunnybunny.livejournal.com]

Yoona and Sulli are the aces for me, in the visuals of girlgroups department. <3

idgaf if people think they're overrated, they're obviously not.
they have been praised for their acting skills and looks, which they obviously do live up to. i've never heard them getting praised for their singing or dancing, at least not more than the rest of the members - so i don't see why they should be stamped as the overrated members.

[jaemin0.livejournal.com]

they're overrated regarding promotions
tho if someone came to do a singing battle or dancing battle with them
they wouldnt be that overrated anymore.

[dorkiilove.livejournal.com]

where are the male groups in this article?

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

it's not about male groups, so nowhere

LOL... Epic typo there... :DDD

[imyoona.livejournal.com]

well they all have the "look" Korea loves so much, hence their popularity

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I think these people make those groups for general public while for people who are actually interested in their music some other members are much more important.

OT: Anyone else been disappointed with Dara's non-existent progress in singing? I expected her to use the time between promotions for intense vocal training lessons, but it doesn't seem like that happened. :-(

[nashaa.livejournal.com]

Progress how? That's how her voice naturally is. At least she can sing in tune in lives, now that's a progress.

SANDARA CAN SING

[ms-rancha.livejournal.com]

and oh.. i think victoria's prettier than sulli!

Re: SANDARA CAN SING

[aescapes.livejournal.com]

...er.

i appreciate that you want to support her, but. i... don't understand how this is meant to be a good example of dara singing well. :\





(unless, ofc, you're being sarcastic, which is v. possible. lol. i adore her but omg.)

[belovedseason.livejournal.com]

The typos are awful. omg. D8 Spellcheeeeeck.

[tnl12345.livejournal.com]

Missing the face of Wonder Girls, HBIC of all maknaes, and representation of Korea!

[sylphiawings.livejournal.com]

Sohee ♥

[hitme.livejournal.com]

I LIKE TO SAY: IF YOU'VE GOT IT, FLAUNT IT.
LOL they pretty and using it to their advantage.
So yay for them 8D

Vic though, she's beautiful AND talented <3 love sfm

i adore amber, but really? i wouldn't say she was the type of "visual" korea's after. i can think of other girl groups whose members are all more "conventionally pretty"

[aescapes.livejournal.com]

it's possible that amber has been MIA for so long that the article writer just plain forgot about her. >____>

[kuuuchan.livejournal.com]

i bet these girls use the phrase "haters gonna hate" very often..

[joroxslaze.livejournal.com]

[aescapes.livejournal.com]

...dahhhh she kills me. ♥

[natsu-yuki.livejournal.com]

Sweetie, there are plenty of spelling and grammatical errors in that post.
Please do something about it; it doesn't reflect very well.

[virgo288.livejournal.com]

Lol this, is kinda a useless article. It's pretty obvious which one is the media's bias in groups, why would someone write a news article pointing it out too? o.O

[aescapes.livejournal.com]

a majority of "kpop news articles" are complete nonsensical fluff. :|

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

as much as i love to hate on sandara, it's not even like she has a horrible voice. she can carry a tune but she will never be like her members, which is something people should have gotten used to by now.
