"gugudan" announces release of new unit of Sejeong, Mina, and Nayeon on July 10
Korean girl group "gugudan" will be releasing a new unit of Sejeong, Mina, and Nayeon.
A representative from their agency Jellyfish Entertainment said on the 29th, "The unit of Sejeong, Mina, and Nayeon will release a single on July 10."
Jellyfish Entertainment released a jackpot-designed teaser video on their official SNS at midnight on the 29th, announcing new content.
The video was accompanied by the words "gugudan, Sejeong, Mina, Nayeon" and the hashtag "Coming Soon," raising expectations for what new content the trio will show.
This marks the birth of the second unit from "gugudan." The first unit was "gugudan Ogu Ogu" consisting of the youngest members Mina and Hyeyoung, who released the seasonal song "ICE CHU" last summer and delivered bright energy.
The second unit is the strongest unit that has everything from singing ability to looks, talent, and variety sense, so there is a lot of interest in it.
Sejeong, Mina, and Nayeon's unit content will be released one after another.
(From K-POP News)
"gugudan" is a girl group formed around Sejeong and Mina, who were popular members who survived "Produce 101".
When they debuted, great things were expected.
It was good until the limited-time girl group "I.O.I", made up of the remaining members, gained explosive popularity.
However, as the members formed girl groups from their agencies and debuted one after another, I.O.I's popularity was split into four parts, leading to a phenomenon where each group was crowded on the borderline.
Although each group was able to generate a certain amount of buzz when they made a comeback, they were struggling to gain popularity enough to be supported by the general public.
While WJSN seems to have the energy to eventually become popular, the other girls have undeniably lost their freshness over the past two years.
In the midst of all this, Oh My Girl emerged from a long slump and revived their popularity.
"Secret Garden" became a hit song that blew away the long slump.
This was a masterpiece that brought the performance skills of K-pop girls to fruition at the highest level.
MOMOLAND, which was born from a similar survival program, became popular not only because of the appeal of their songs, but also because of the positive and energetic personalities of their members.
I have passed by this group's performances several times.
I was not impressed by their songs or performances.
However, as I clicked on various new girls, I began to think that their popularity was only a glimpse, even though they were not even slimming down and just doing whatever they wanted.
But then, when I looked at the stage, their performance was somehow lame.
It was also notable that the girls, who were concerned about their plumpness, were charming.
A male fan was roaring like a wild animal.
I followed the members' movements, wondering "where is what?" and began to see the concept that they were just trying to enjoy the stage, rather than trying to show it off.
It was only then that I could see the appeal of Yeonwoo, JooE, Nancy and others.
OH MY GIRL exploded with charm with their singing ability and performance composition.
The appeal of MOMOLAND's stage performance is not in the composition, but in the instant dynamism itself.
Although Oh My Girl and Momoland's performances are completely different, they each succeed in showcasing their unique characteristics.
For better or worse, the girls from "Produce 101" seem to have a weakness in that they are still dragging along the image of being an "I.O.I" offshoot.
In other words, they prioritized performance over individuality, which resulted in them putting on similar stages side by side...
The girls from the "I.O.I" movement were a small ship compared to the main group, and left the impression that they all sank.
The unit content of Sejeong, Mina, and Nayeon seems to be an attempt to revive their characters.
