GLAM (Girls Be Ambitious)

Official Facebook || Official Twitter || Official Youtube 
Debut Show: MTV's Real Music Drama "GLAM" (Ep: 1, 2, etc.)
Producer: Bang Shi Hyuk ("Hitman Bang")
Company: Big Hit Entertainment (2AM, 8Eight, K. Will)
Original Songs Performed: Glamorous, Party (XXO)
Songs Released: Party (XXO)+Instrumental
More Photos: (1, 2)

Other: It has apparently been fourteen years since Bang Shi Hyuk has produced a girl group. With GLAM, he seems to be taking a different approach - being rather hands off. He said, "As opposed to producing them, it’s more accurate to say that I helped them realize their hidden musical potential and helped them foster that as a partner by their side." Furthermore, it has been seen through their MTV show that GLAM has loose rules when it comes to curfew and drinking (beers out on the street). About this, Bang Shi Hyuk stated that, “When they themselves are being regulated, it contradicts their message to the public to listen to their music and be happy.” Hitman Bang also made a really cheesy song in which he rapped to show support for his GLAM girls (it features J-Lim)!

Baek Ji Young: They have the right to be confident... I heard that their debut is in July. I am glad that our promo activities won’t overlap.

Park Jiyeon, 20/21, Leader/Lead Rapper/Vocal

Full Name: Park Jiyeon (박지연)
Birthdate: January 23, 1992
Height / Weight / Blood Type: 164.5cm / 45kg / Blood Type B
More Photos: (1, 2)

Other: A leader who is the "middle child." Park Jiyeon has this kind of weird almost "Jack of All Trades" thing going on about her, except she hasn't quite perfected everything yet. I think that this is probably what enables her to be the "leader" in GLAM, as she acts as a connecting kind of bridge between all of the members and their roles. She doesn't claim to be the best rapper, the best dancers, the best singer, or the "face," although she definitely has the potential to. She seems to be best at harmonizing with the others. Also, their MTV show really portrayed her as a really quiet, subdued type when she's by herself. All in all, Park Jiyeon definitely acts like the oldest. She doesn't mind being in the back.

SOLO: Dance (starts around 0:25)

More: Stronger Than Me (Cover), Baby (Cover w/ Lee Hyun)

Dahee, 18/19, Main Vocal

Full Name: Kim Dahee (김다희)
Birthdate: March 30, 1994
Height / Weight / Blood Type: 163cm / 45kg / Blood Type A
More Photos: (1, 2)

Other: Dahee voiced the first Korean Vocaloid "SeeU," which debuted with the song I=Fantasy. GLAM performed I=Fantasy as a group on their show at a Vocaloid event (cut) and in its entirety at their showcase (fancam). Dahee plays the piano. She also may be the best at speaking Japanese in GLAM, which probably has to do with her Vocaloid connection (doesn't seem to be fluent, though).

SOLO: Fallin_Dahee

Zinni, 26/27, Main Rapper/Main Dancer/Vocal

Full Name: Kim Jin Hee (김진희)
Birthdate: May 5, 1986
Height / Weight / Blood Type: 163 cm / 44kg / Blood Type A
More Photos: (1, 2)

Other: Zinni's the b-girl rapper! This, in addition to her unique haircut and styling, is what is really making her stand out so far it seems. The contrast between her current image and her pre-debut image is also interesting. Zinni is the oldest in the group (pretty surprising), and she has a good ten years on the maknae, Miso.

SOLO: Like A Star_Zinni

- - - - - - - - -

Trinity, 21/22, Visual/Vocal

Full Name: Yun Su Jin (윤수진)
Birthdate: February 5, 1991
Height / Weight / Blood Type: 165.5cm / 46kg / Blood Type B
More Photos: (1, 2)

Other: A lot of people are wondering if Trinity has a role other than "Visual." I think that, for now, the answer is "no." Although officially, she's listed as a vocal... she's probably a work-in-progress? She centers in their ending formation of Party (XXO) though, so it seems obvious that "visual" is the role that Big Hit Ent. is pushing on her for now (it also helps that she's the tallest).

SOLO: 7 Things_Trinity

Miso, 16/17, Lead Vocal/Maknae

Full Name: Lee Miso (이미소)
Birthday: October 17, 1995
Height / Weight / Blood Type: 164.5cm / 47 kg / Blood Type O
More Photos: (1, 2)

Other: Miso auditioned and participated on previously Star Audition "Birth of a Great Star" (and performed with Megan Lee, who was the same age). GLAM's producer, Bang Shi Hyuk, was actually one of the judges from the show. She's supposedly very innocent (and gullible). The other members of GLAM told Miso, who had never been on an airplane before, that she couldn't wear her shoes onto the plane - and so she boarded it wearing only her socks (as seen on their MTV show). She afterwards complained, “I’m worried that people will think I’m stupid. I just believed the unnies.” Also, Miso rocks every hairstyle ever. And no - I'm not biased.

SOLO: Everybody Hurts Sometimes_Miso

Oops! For that second Dahee video I meant to link Slow Motion (Cover) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cda05WZLxM&feature=plcp). Unfortunately, when I try to edit the main post, the html goes all wonky and it screws up my cut orz so I'll just put it down here. Also, I found this qt fanacc that mentioned GLAM (http://growlithe.tumblr.com/post/27620292666/today-i-went-to-music-bank-o):

"they were all live (i think) and the two times they performed they didn’t mess up once :3 when they were leaving they were thanking everyone, even us, and they forgot to turn off their mics when they went backstage so we heard them thanking everyone they met in the corridors. omg they were just SO CHARMING god GOD i’m so happy"

EDIT: Sorry about my mistake with "Fireball" ;; It's by Willow Smith, and only featuring Nicki Minaj.

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

Zinni and Jiyeon were the two that got my interest but i'm starting to love all the girls. esp the maknae, so presh.

does anyone know where i can get icons of them??

[hinadori.livejournal.com]

Miso is so cute. Liking her the best not only because of her duet with my bias but I really like her voice. She's got that husky, soulful voice going for her. And every time I see Dahee I think of Jea.

[kiminikaeru.livejournal.com]

mte she really looks like jea

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

great post! I'm glad their debut lived up to my expectations. Jiyeon is my favorite rn w/ Zinni (who I liked first) & Miso. I hope someone subs their show. They would sit and talk so much but I'd have no idea what they were saying lol. oh also "Fireball" is by Willow Smith. Nicki is just the feature

[ryeowookie.livejournal.com]

Oops, sorry about that :( Fireball's artist was pretty much the only thing I neglected to look up when I made this post ;;

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

lol it's ok huge posts like this are kind of a headache already & you obviously put a lot of effort into it ^__^

[g-odalisque13.livejournal.com]

I am absolutely in love with these girls.
Does anyone know if any of the episodes of their show have been subbed?

[lainmyownworld.livejournal.com]

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

All the clips in this post are from their show. I believe it was showing the process of the girls training before debut.

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

Your obsession with noonas are beyond limits, haha. xD

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

First time hearing these girls and I think this might be the first time I actually stan a girl group for real.

Zinni, DAMN girl she can work it all day and night non stop tbh.

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

I think this might be the first time I actually stan a girl group for real.

[rainbwoo.livejournal.com]

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for the post, OP! I love this girls already, all of them, but damn Zinni how amazing you are ♥ I love seeing her and Jiyeon rapping. And I am in love with Miso's voice, it's husky and gorgeous, and just the kind I'm really fond of.

Their live perfs are great too, omg. It's just so funny and entertaining to watch. So, so, so stanning them :'DDD I'm going to need icons of those girls for like, yesterday.

I've also spent the last two days listening to Party (XXO) nonstop. Should stop now. But won't.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___varying/]

Wow OP ty for putting in all the effort/time to make this. <3 I can't wait to see where they'll go with this group, since they're all super-talented and excellent performers. Also: all the love for Miso's voice makes me happy. xD

[polka-prince.livejournal.com]

Zinni unnie!!

I'm starting to like this group a lot, saw the performances, and I think they've got a lot of potential <3

[xredada.livejournal.com]

Great post! I didn't even know they had a reality show lmao. I'm really addicted to Party XXO these days, i love the song, thier lives are amazing and the dance is pretty awesome. I'm also addicted to I-Fantasy which they performed during their showcase. I hope these girls make it big because they're soo talented.

And yep, Zinni is also my fav soo far along with Miso (her voice is soo husky and beautiful). Dahee is also beautiful!

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

I don't like Party XXO, but they certainly seem really talented! Thanks OP for all the info!

[diapergenie.livejournal.com]

Thanks for this post! Their debut was a pleasant surprise tbh. I have rarely been this excited over a rookie group in ages. Their energy is just amazing and it made me an instant stan. Not to mention they are all talented!
