Idol of 2016 "gugudan"
２０１６年のアイドル「ｇｕｇｕｄａｎ」
Newcomer "gugudan" ranked 2nd on the Gaon album chart in the first week of debut
Newcomer girl group "gugudan" ranked 2nd on the Gaon album chart in the first week of debut.
According to the Gaon chart on the 7th, "gugudan"'s debut album ranked 2nd on the album overall chart for the 27th week (based on calculations from June 26th, 2016 to July 2nd, 2016).
The record of ranking 2nd on the album chart is noteworthy as it is the best result among newcomers who are listed in the top 100.
"gugudan" sold out 10,000 pre-orders for their album before their debut, and ranked 1st on the real-time chart of the Hanteo chart, an album calculation site, on the day of their debut.
They are on a roll, having even been a candidate for 1st place on the music program SBS MTV "THE SHOW" broadcast on the 5th.
Gugudan has also been praised as a girl group with a bright and lively image, and was recently chosen as the solo model for a famous shoe brand's commercial.
As they have set various records like this, Gugudan has suddenly emerged as this year's most noteworthy new girl group, and much attention is being paid to their progress.
Gugudan recently released their debut song "Wonderland" and are active.

When I first saw the "Wonderland" music video, I wondered: "Will this sell?"
The main vocalist is Sejeong, who has great singing ability.
But there is no need to put her in the forefront.
I can understand that.
So, what about the dancing? It might not be a bad idea to focus on showcasing a brilliant performance at the time of their debut.
Not really. It was very orthodox.
The singing, dancing, and visuals are all kept to a minimum, and the light dancing and singing are pleasant to the eyes and ears.
If you just relax and listen to the voices without watching the video, you won't even know which part Sejeong is singing.
Everyone is enjoying the song.
They are enjoying the dance.
There is no fierce enthusiasm or passion to be found in this.
They can do this!
They may be very confident in their performance.
This kind of atmosphere is similar to the music video for "Dancing Queen" by Girls' Generation, who were successful as a girl group.
They are a group that is familiar and cute, like a combination of KARA and Girls' Generation.
★...Their record of reaching No. 2 on the album chart is noteworthy as it is the highest result among new artists to appear in the top 100.
There is no doubt that gugudan will be the new girl group that will decorate the idol stage in 2016.
Their achievement of reaching No. 2 on the album chart may be an indication of this.
However, it is better to think of their initial sales as a fluke.
For idols, it's better to be loved for a long time, even if your presence is modest, than to be popular for a short time.
With the current situation where idols are competing with one another, it's possible that around this time next year another girl group will appear and make more sales than gugudan.
When this happens, the girls who gained popularity with their addictive music will fade into the background and eventually disappear.
By that time, I hope that gugudan will have grown into a group of girls who can perform attractive stages that won't lose fans.
Sales are important, but girls who have something special on stage (singing, dancing skills, looks, etc.) are the real idols...
