Who is Rainbow?

rainbow_hannah_20091103

Oh, just the new girl group being released by DSP Entertainment.

DSP Entertainment, the company of SS501 and KARA, released photos of their new girl group Rainbow earlier today. Rainbow consists of 7 members that have been training for a lengthy four years.

As to why the new group was named Rainbow, a representative of DSP Entertainment has revealed that during the girls trainee days, fans obtained rumors that the new group consisted of 7 members, giving them the nickname of Rainbow. Later, while the company was deciding on an official name for the group, they decided to stick with the name fans had personally given to the girls. Surely, it’s not the most interesting group name out there, but at least their fans will be happy, right?

In addition, a DSP Entertainment representative has stated,

Having trained and prepared for a long period of time, all seven members are packed with powerful vocal skills. All the members vocal and dance skills are amazing and very stable unlike the normal rookie groups, and are expected to show a natural (great) performance on stage.

Rainbow will release their first official teaser this coming November 6th. So, are you looking forward to the debut of DSP Entertainment’s new addition to their family?

      You already know that’s gonna be a bust by just looking at the picture, lol.
      I’m actually looking forward to this girl group, though, can’t explain why…I’m guessing (actually hoping) that they’ll use their talent as a selling point and not just the whole played out cute concept.

    intrsting..they mostly kinda look the same cept the girl top left..??

    • 4 jieun November 4, 2009 at 9:34 am

      i agree, i swear they must’ve gotten plastic. i’m not one to go around pointing fingers at who got surgery or not, but the three girls on the top right look kind of ridiculously exactly the same. same eyes, chins, nose, mouth… jeez. the other ones, i can’t tell only because they’re making different expressions.

      not cool.

  3. 9 Lisa November 4, 2009 at 9:43 am

    yeah, i agree. it’s most likely plastic. it’s impossible to deny the plastic aura haha… but if they’re talented, hey, whatever! =) i’ll listen to ‘em.

  4. 10 katesue November 4, 2009 at 9:48 am

    It’s the circle lenses man!

    you can’t tell if their truly plastic from these small photos. i mean a lot of non celebs have similar small nose shapes and small lips. does taht mean they all had surgery?

    similar features with boring hairstyles really make them look a like

    • 11 magz November 4, 2009 at 3:24 pm

      yes…
      i have many korean frds and they all had plastic…
      i mean its only a small thing done to their face…
      wts the big deal of it.. as long as they look good..

      even normal people (1 out of 3) had plastic in Korea..
      so wts sooo weird to see Artist doing it when their face is soo important to them..??

      • 12 mehhh November 5, 2009 at 11:25 pm

        its part of their culture apparently, i was told that parents actually saved up money for their kids to get plastic surgery…not really sure how true it is but i believe it is very possible

  5. 13 ?! November 4, 2009 at 9:51 am

    are there really 7 ppl in this group?
    cause i only see 4 ..+ 3 pics of the same person.

    • 14 bBeij November 4, 2009 at 3:36 pm

      yeah i was thinking in the same. i can imagine them all in one room … 3 saying “oh .. we’ll have those eyez and this nose … oh yeah me too!!” lol.

  6. 15 eak November 4, 2009 at 10:12 am

    WOAH
    the girl on the top middle and the girl on the right middle look almost exactly alike….
    to me thats usually how it is though…
    at first.
    and then after a while they start looking different.
    still, just saying

  7. 16 baPo! hAk! November 4, 2009 at 10:23 am

    another plastic generation from korea

  8. 17 baPo! hAk! November 4, 2009 at 10:27 am

    d girl at d left bottom is so cute…
    wonder if she had a plastic surgery (well of course, its korea)

  9. 19 icey November 4, 2009 at 10:42 am

    Boring boring boring! All these girl groups just mean they can’t hack it as solo artists (with a few exceptions though). Bah it’s getting so boring!!

  10. 20 Dovey November 4, 2009 at 10:57 am

    Psh, I can tell already that they’re not going to be any more different than the girl groups that exist now…What a disappointment. XD

  11. 21 mika November 4, 2009 at 11:00 am

    OMG!!..they ALL look alike. How freaky is that?!

  12. 23 iheart2PM November 4, 2009 at 11:41 am

    awwwww theyre so pretty(:

  13. 25 tewkewl November 4, 2009 at 12:28 pm

    popseoul failed to mention that they are called 7 because a rainbow has 7 colors.

  14. 26 SuperJuniorLover6666666666 November 4, 2009 at 12:47 pm

    THEY ALL LOOK FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    CRAPPY FAKE PLASTIC KOREAN BARBIE LOOKING FACES!!!!!!!!
    UGH!!! WHEN WILL THE FAKENESS OF FAKE STOP!!!!!???

  15. 35 -BLAH. November 4, 2009 at 12:51 pm

    Rookie group after rookie group.
    When will a SOLO artist come out?
    Gosh, Korea is full of group artists.
    And I’m not saying that’s bad or anything
    but they just need to get the solo artists
    more known out into the world.

  16. 37 kathy November 4, 2009 at 1:01 pm

    HALF OF THEM LOOK THE SAME. D:

  17. 38 Joanne November 4, 2009 at 1:02 pm

    LMFAO i thought this was a 3 girl group. damn they all look the same. the 3 girls with the long hair. look. exactly. the. same. seriously. holy sh*t

  18. 39 coffy November 4, 2009 at 1:16 pm

    I don’t really know much about korean entertainment companies, but do they purposely try to get girls that look exactly alike? And if so, why? It’s ridiculous, put a little flavor into these groups, like, i don’t know, girls that look good and can sing?

  19. 40 it's me November 4, 2009 at 1:25 pm

    i wish they have great vocal and not just have beautiful face only…

  20. 41 themoonprincess November 4, 2009 at 1:30 pm

    wow.. the girl on the right bottom corner looks like koohara…
    and the girl on the left bottom corner looks like nicole..

    but they’re all really pretty :D

  21. 43 bleh November 4, 2009 at 2:24 pm

    why is every singer in korea so manufactured? they train & produce em like they’re makin robots. all i see are average plastic girls with good lighting, photoshop, and good music technology that can do wonders. theres practically no self-say anymore. the company does everything from training, giving them music to sing, picking out their style and concept…yep, all i see are robots.

  22. 48 mina November 4, 2009 at 2:59 pm

    i think they’re pretty but they all look like related or whatever.
    can’t wait to see if they have talent or not.

  23. 51 Heavenly November 4, 2009 at 3:27 pm

    I’m sorry, but these girl groups are all starting to look alike……even in this group I can’t tell members apart from each other.

    Not only are they resembling each other their concepts are the same old cute girl, boy girl, edgy girl thing.

    I am starting to get tired of it all.

  24. 53 maria November 4, 2009 at 3:57 pm

    The on the top left looks likeable, the rest look slapable.

  25. 55 Zzzzzz November 4, 2009 at 4:30 pm

    they all looked like fcuken plastic sh1t

  26. 58 pikah pikah November 4, 2009 at 5:14 pm

    all people wrote about plastic..
    i dont get it..

    it’s not all plastic in korea,
    some are naturally beautiful,
    and only few that undergo knives..

    u can’t simply judge on the few percentages!

    and complaining about the name as well?!!
    i dont even get the idea of other group’s name as well:
    naming few~Beast?2PM?2AM?MBLAQ??and the most weird name goes to f(x)…

    just speaking my mind~hope ya dont mind!
    write yours and dont bash on me!!

    • 59 mina November 5, 2009 at 12:03 pm

      lol naturally beautiful?
      i’m assuming you haven’t experienced living
      in korea yet.
      just what generation of kpop are you living in?
      my dear, natural is ugly.
      plastic is what sells.
      get rational.
      or just go to korea and see how much plastic surgery is raved over there.
      just go.

  27. 60 C November 4, 2009 at 5:51 pm

    I hope they can actually sing. And dance. And have music video concepts that are original… there are 582937 other girl groups out there. Why the sudden outpour of them all? I sometimes dont get the music industries…

  28. 61 MBLAQLOVER November 4, 2009 at 5:52 pm

    GEEZ.. All those random entertainment companies out there are taking the god damn opportunity to debut new groups.

  29. 62 SandraJun November 4, 2009 at 6:57 pm

    enough with Tiara, why need so many members in a group? i just dont get it. K-pop industry have so many girl bands and boy bands out there right now, please~~~ there is no quality anymore…

  30. 63 soshio November 4, 2009 at 7:28 pm

    i tot dey sed kim sunghee from KARA wud be joining, but i don’t see her…

  31. 64 Age November 4, 2009 at 8:02 pm

    yeah!!
    weee.
    u know, dsp always say that..
    these grils have the best?
    no way?
    KARA wansn’t able to succeed as fast as SNSD nad WG does.. Even Fin.kl was not able to rise as fast as SES…
    I don’t believe.. even Gyuri the main vocalist of Kara is no half or even 1.8 of taeyeon’s voice..
    i’m sure, they are no competition to 2ne1 and Fx..
    YG and SM are the big names..
    let’s exclude JYP since he didn’t debut any rookie this year..

    BOOOO!!!!

  32. 65 Our Faith~ November 5, 2009 at 1:27 am

    wow 7 members.
    if their style is similar to SNSD,its going to be ugh :l
    i don’t need girl bands that sounds similar to one another.
    hopefully.

  33. 66 Angela November 5, 2009 at 3:38 am

    Whoa…I can’t tell whether the girls in the right column are all the same…they are, right? Otherwise, it’s becoming kinda scary how non-distinct these Korean “singers” are becoming…

    And this is coming from a Korean!

  34. 67 cheery♥me November 5, 2009 at 5:37 am

    a good concept:
    each member gets a colour.
    like red, orange, yellow, blue and etc… ^^

  35. 69 baPo! hAk! November 5, 2009 at 5:59 am

    PLASTIC LOVE uh~~
    when will we see korean natural beauties like han gain and song hye kyo…hmmm..now full of plastic wonder

  36. 70 whoa November 5, 2009 at 11:40 am

    they really look the same..
    im kinda bored of today’s girl group faces,
    they all got plastic surgeries and
    now, another additional group.
    maybe they think they can definitely succeed
    as a girl group just like wonder girls and SNSD but i dont think so!!!

  37. 71 jh November 5, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    they all look really similar but i like the far left corner’s hairstyle and bow, so cute.

  38. 72 alwayssuju November 5, 2009 at 10:52 pm

    their eyes look sooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    F A K E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    that’s obvious they “cut” their eyes somewhere sometime… lots of time invested i think~~~~

  39. 73 xmhmu5slove November 6, 2009 at 5:13 am

    another snsd!?!?
