Another new 5 member girl group

newgroup_090420

As if Wondergirls, Kara, and the once five member group After School were not enough.

And why 5 members? Why not 7, 9, 11, 3?! Hell, why not combine all the groups for a large mega group with 15 or more members?

With the merging of Mnet and GM, the two management companies have announced that they will combine three different girl groups to produce a whole new concept for “ballad” singers. Is this anything new?

Davichi, Seeya (minus Nam Gyuri), and Jiyeon from T-Ara (another girl group three years in the making) will come together for a single. With no name yet determined, netizens have just resorted to mentioning all the groups.

If that was not enough news, rumors are floating around about Jiyeon replacing Nam Gyuri who will probably be involved in a legal battle with GM due to her breach in contract. With Seeya preparing for it’s fourth album, Nam Gyuri announced her departure from the group even though she has two years left in her five year contract which has, according to the company, caused the group to lose valuable time and money.

The reason for the departure is that she wants to  pursue an acting career.

Looks like the press will have another field day at the courtroom. And if history indicates anything, Nam Gyuri is fighting a losing battle e.g. Rain and Lee Jun Ki.

    I’m sorry but the length of their socks make their legs look bad.

    Nevertheless I find them pretty.

    I think they would be awesome! Davichi rocks and I already love the other two from Seeya who are super talented also!

    Anyway, didn’t Seeya and Davichi already release a single together about a year ago? They sung with two other girls from another group….I think the song was called “blue moon.” I loved it! Gotta check it out!

    umie11 I agree with you. I loved them as COLOR PINK. Good combo. I have no idea who T-ara is, but she can’t ruin them.

    cute but it’s an overkill on the music industry. need more originality.

  9. 10 joelib April 22, 2009 at 11:20 am

    Make a 10 member girl group. Thatd be original at least lol.

  10. 11 annbanana April 22, 2009 at 11:30 am

    At least there’s no doubting their talents, but their image is hurting my eyes.. too bright. X(

    As if there aren’t enough Girl bands in South Korea already. -_____-
    I just hope they come up with a good name for the band.

    This group is going to rock! They’ve actually got talent!
    And you really can’t go wrong with combining talent(seeya) and even more talent(davichi)! I have no idea who the other girl is, but she’s cute!
    Can not wait!!!!! BTW, I loved Blue Moon!

  15. 16 janicate April 22, 2009 at 1:31 pm

    lol

    Haha I laughed reading this…tickled me funny. You popseoul gals sound bitterly annoyed with the ‘every 15 minutes there’s a new group’ trilogy. People love aesthetics too much and if it looks good and ’sounds’ good people will always listen. Though, I wonder what happened to the days where there were actual groups who tried to work from theirself formation up to stardom without being a product. I miss the old days, but many that’s out right now.

  20. 21 sexybabymama April 22, 2009 at 9:40 pm

    it’s easier to debut as a singer and then move onto acting then it is to debut as an actress without much talent. So that’s what Nam Gyuri was trying to do all along~

  21. 22 orthocore April 23, 2009 at 12:03 am

    Please, no more groups!!!

  22. 23 yonderies April 23, 2009 at 12:55 am

    I have faith in this group cause of the talent! It’s not just one or two talented singers, but FOUR! Not sure about the other one yet, but that’s more talent than most girl groups these days! No more sugary pop acts!
    These are ballad queens!

  23. 24 smilecrybaby April 23, 2009 at 1:09 am

    All those girl groups can’t compare to Davichi or Seeya! These are truly talented singers and it’s genius to put them together!

  28. 29 blaznist April 24, 2009 at 9:12 am

    Hecks going on with S.Korea. more more groups or people combining, I’m pretty much losing interest in kpop, it aint the same like years ago. Yea im pretty worked up for this group..yippee? Well atleast they been around most of them.

    I like the second girl to the left and the she looks cool in the blue shoes. Pretty. :)

  29. 30 lalah5 April 24, 2009 at 11:48 am

    I never really listen to Seeya and I have no idea who the other girl is, but I love love love Davichi! These girls can really sing!
