Teenage girl group Bonus Baby appeals to "student-like" hairstyles and outfits
The six-member girl group Bonus Baby appeals to "student-like" teens.
Bonus Baby appeals to fans with a concept that makes the most of the members' age-appropriate looks, as all members are in their teens, including Moonhee, Ha-yoon, Chae-hyun, Da-yoon, Ga-on, and Gong-yoo.
Not only do they wear outfits that don't reveal much skin, but they also have well-groomed nails that are far from glamorous, and all members stick to their black hair.
Their debut song "Just Us," released on the 1st, also sang the pure voices of Bonus Baby members, with a hopeful message of girls in fairy tales dreaming of a bright future.
(From K-POP News)
It takes time and money to debut complete boys and girls.
However, without this effort to improve their skills and market themselves, they would not have been popular in the Korean music market.
If music had no choice but to flourish in one country, this style would have been difficult to change.
However, in an age where music from various countries is overflowing all over the world, it is easy to notice that other countries have experimental music.
Japan and Korea, which are neighbors separated by the sea, have very different ideas about entertainment music (pop songs and pop music).
It is generally said that Japanese music fans tend to enjoy watching and listening to "a debuting singer grow".
Korean music fans tend to enjoy the world of "a debuting singer who has gained skill and is singing".
As a result, Japanese fans tend to watch the singer for a long span of time, while Korean fans will look for another singer to take their place if they are not satisfied with the singer's singing.
We may be entering an era where these styles will begin to intersect from both sides.
If the market had not opened up outside of Korea, girls like "Bonus Baby" probably would not have appeared.
The fact that they appear in school uniforms shows that they are already growing girls.
If they were girls who could sing and dance perfectly in school uniforms, they probably would not be well-received.
That would be because it would end up asserting that they had spent all their time practicing singing and dancing without studying much.
Naturally, in the music video they sing and dance reasonably well, and flash innocent, innocent smiles.
If they can take off their school uniforms in a year or so and show off their growth like GFRIEND, they will be "fairly idol stars," but what kind of outcome awaits their story?
