The Return of Wonder Girls
Wonder Girlsの復活
Girl group Wonder Girls has entered a long-term domination regime, showing off their powerful music.
Wonder Girls' new single "Why so lonely," released at midnight on the 5th, is currently topping a total of six charts, including Melon, Mnet, genie, olleh MUSIC, NAVER MUSIC, and soribada, as of 8 a.m. on the 29th.
The lead (title) song "Why so lonely" is Wonder Girls' first attempt at reggae pop, composed by members Sunmi, Hyerim, and composer Hong Ji-sang, with lyrics written by Yubin, Sunmi, and Hyerim.
In particular, it is the first song that contains Wonder Girls' unique identity, and they have received positive reviews for trying to transform again as a girl band rather than idols, proving their 10-year career.
It is clear that this is a remarkable achievement for Wonder Girls, who declared that they are no longer under Park Jin Young.
In particular, Wonder Girls, who competed with rapper BewhY and girl group GFRIEND for the top spot on the charts, have surpassed them and solidified their place at the top of the music charts, demonstrating their strength.
With this hit, Wonder Girls have further grown from a girl group to musicians.
Regarding Wonder Girls' long-term domination of the music charts, K-pop industry insiders unanimously agreed that "it is entirely possible if their musicality is high."
They continued, "I think Wonder Girls' determination has given the public confidence," and "The band, which was unfamiliar at first, has been accepted by the public before they knew it.
Also, reggae, which seemed to be unsuitable for Wonder Girls, must have felt fresh."
(From K-pop News)
It's an incredible comeback.
Many people probably think so.
I thought so too.
The music video was good.
However, after seeing their live performance, I thought this wouldn't last.
Although it wasn't a lip-syncing performance, I felt that the balance between the dancing and singing was somehow off.
But the number of views for the MV continued to grow rapidly.
It topped the pop charts and maintained a good position on the music charts.
They have a good reputation.
To find out why, I trawled through the video for "Why so lonely."
A stage where the performance looks mediocre doesn't seem good after all.
But when I saw the dance version, I understood.
Their performance, relaxed and focused on dancing, was exquisite in the way they let their energy go.
Their relaxed dance matched the mood of the song well.
The music conveyed the hardships and time these girls have gone through on stage.
Even from a young age, these girls were known for their smartness rather than their power.
However, their positive attitude, which made their youth speak for themselves, was no different from that of power girls.
But that's not the case here.
They have created music and a performance in which the pain of the hardships and times they have gone through is transformed into relaxation through the gaps between their singing and dancing.
I thought, "This is it."
On stage, they can just pick up an instrument and sing the song.
In their performance, they can incorporate it into their dance.
It may be difficult to fully express that (melancholy) through singing and performance with an instrument.
It seems very difficult to convey the relaxed feeling of this song while singing on stage.
Fortunately, the music video is good, and the dance version is also good.
A relaxed performance on the music stage may have been fine.
In fact, "Why so lonely" is a brilliant success as this kind of music.
Wonder Girls have made a strong comeback.
The girls suffered many hardships after moving to America.
You could even say that "Why so lonely" is music that is alive with those experiences.
