A Pink, let’s have a closer look

[nobodyelse-care.livejournal.com]

 

“Hahaha~”

All seven members simultaneously turn their shining eyes and burst out laughing. Is it because they are still young and even laugh at leaves falling? Or is it because they are excited to perform on stage again?

Girl group A Pink that debuted in April, recently released their second mini album “Snow Pink.” With their début song “I Don’t Know,” they captivated men’s hearts and became a synonym for ‘pure and innocence.’ This time, they will reappear as ‘Winter Fairies.’

Bomi

      “I didn’t perform on the comeback stage yet, but I can tell that I can keep my composure now. During the activities on our first album, I could only do what I have prepared, and I felt awkward looking at the camera. But, I can smile comfortably now. I think I improved because I performed a lot with our first album.” (Bomi)      

Despite their hectic schedule, and dance practice, seven girls never lost their smiles during the interview that was held for more than one hour. Even stiff and unfriendly reporter couldn’t help himself but smile in front of them. When asked to introduce their new album, they showed a little of their new choreography.

Chorong

“There are lots of interesting dance moves in this album’s choreography. There are ‘driving dance,’ ‘V Line dance,’ and ‘timid confession dance.’ Many people seem to recognize our choreography maybe because our dance moves are interesting.” 

“MY MY talks about a girl who has a crush. If ‘I Don’t Know’ was a shy yet womanly song, this song is a bit more lively and dynamic. It also suits well with winter. It’s good to listen on Christmas, and I think it’s a good song to make a confession.”

“We thought that we would be starting our activities soon after ‘I Don’t Know’ but it took a while to come back. We tried our best to make the best song possible and all our members actively participated during the long hiatus.” (Chorong)

Eunji

“During our preparations, we tried to find the song style that goes well with A Pink. Because we wanted to show you the prettiest and most innocent looks of us. The song ‘My My’ is the result of all our hard work.” (Eunji)

 

A Pink didn’t try to make drastic change on the second album because A Pink thought that it’s not enough to show their fresh and lively charms with only their first album. During the three month hiatus, they were determined to firmly establish their reputation in the music market that likes drastic changes.

Yoo Kyung

“Finding the musical color that suits us well, and working on the songs took longer than we had expected. We recorded many songs because we wanted to make the best songs.”

“Our current image suits us best. I think it’s beautiful and natural. We will reveal new charms on upcoming albums starting from the next album. Please look forward to it.” (Yoo Kyung)

New tries could be seen in the new album. “Yeah” has a powerful beat unlike other songs, and “Like A Dream” is a first ballad song of A Pink.

The title song “My My” is a collaboration between hit song writer Shinsadong Tiger and Rado. The male voice that can be heard between seven girls’ voices is the voice of the songwriter, Rado.

Ha Young

“Songwriter Rado sang the chorus for us. The song sounded different because there is a man singing. He sings in the intro, chorus, and the parts of Eunji and Nam Joo. It will sound a lot different than just seven girls singing the song.” (Ha Young)

On stage, they show off lively and fresh charms but also are easy going and determined off stage. Expectations are on the rise as to what they will show next year.

Na Eun

“We want to be well known to the public. We want to display our unique color so the fans can look forward to our new albums. Not only that, we want to be an idol group that people of all ages like.” (Na Eun)

Namjoo

[markovnikov.livejournal.com]

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

[nobodyelse-care.livejournal.com]

[pistolkrystle.livejournal.com]

I agree, although people omona get angry if I say they are boring....w/e

[kiminikaeru.livejournal.com]

you get attacked automatically if you have an own opinion, welcome to kpop i guess

[bumie.livejournal.com]

but they are boring , I can't watch full performance for them

[gardenintheair.livejournal.com]

I really like them. But I'm afraid they would get more international fans if they went only for pseudo sexy and fierce more mature look.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Actually I don't like girl band but I found this look refreshing.
If they'd gone for a more mature look they would have been like any other girl band. Here they're different.

[gardenintheair.livejournal.com]

they're not unique with the current image either though...

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Indeed

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

lol true

[orenji13.livejournal.com]

I like their SES looks.
They play the cute well, their song is literary easy listening and so far, I haven't found any over play cute in their performance.

Why do teenage girls has to act as a sexy adult to be excepted seriously?? They are young, so let them be young.

And flawless icon.. Beautiful :)

[orenji13.livejournal.com]

LOL..
When teenage girl wearing sexy dress and be sexy, they were called inappropriate and a slut
When they act cute like their age they still called names...


Anyway, go A-Pink!!

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Hayoung looks mixed.

[kirakirashahida.livejournal.com]

She's a female version of Dongwoon.

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

I'm getting a Snsd serca 2008 vibe from them.

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

IKR, when their new song was released I was like, "OMG KISSING YOU!!!"
Which I really like (more than I like to admit), so it wasn't surprising I liked My My also

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

It's funny, because just last night I suddenly realized "Hey, who's that dude singing"
I only noticed because it was a really nice layer in the song and now I know! :)
Rado, U R GOOD JOB. And now I know your name because you were also in Hyuna's solo track in the Troublemaker mini :D

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

i really like their songs and the groups as a whole, but they are the kind of group that i can't get emotionally invested for some reason, even if i do keep up with what they are doing and such.

and lol during their winning speech all i could think is about how suzy was towering over all of them.

[gabucha26.livejournal.com]

I hope they maintain their current level of cute; the reason I wasnt into them during their debut was because the cutesy acts seemed a bit forced. I mean, it could be they were a rookie group, and just like Bomi said, they were just nervous and unsure. Either way they are still young and can still get away with it, let their concept evolve as they get older.

Also, Eunji's comment made me chuckle.
