3 songs (IZ*ONE, EXID, TWICE) that divided the fate of girl groups (?)
ガールズグループの命運を分けた（？）３曲（IZ*ONE、EXID、TWICE）

IZ*ONE, EXID's big hit song was originally for another group! A song made for TWICE?! Shocked by the "original protagonist" of the hit song [Video included]

〇CLC → IZ*ONE "La Vie en Rose"

★IZ*ONE debut song, "La Vie en Rose"

"It's true (that it was originally our song). We had already recorded it, so I was surprised when I heard it later. But it's a common thing in this world, so I'm a little sad, but I'm not sad. I think we found a better owner." (Yerin)

I think most people in WIZ*ONE know this story.

In fact, as Yerin said, there is also a video of the CLC version circulating (they seem to have finished recording, but the performance is not like the complete version. Perhaps out of consideration for IZ*ONE, a lighter version of the singing was uploaded. Therefore, it is not possible to fully compare the two performances. Well, this will do).

Unlike CLC's comeback, IZ*ONE's members were selected through auditions that attracted much attention and interest, and it is possible that they put more effort into their songs and performances before making their debut, given the great fanfare.

I would like to say that IZ*ONE's debut song, "La Vie en Rose," was a song that greatly changed the depth of girl group stages.

Their next song, "Violeta," was also a hit, and IZ*ONE's unique world was expanding greatly, so when the voting scandal arose and it was reported that the group was in danger of disbanding, it was heartbreaking.

It is good to see that they are looking forward to resuming activities.

I hope that at the very least, their promotional period will be extended by the time they were suspended.

〇Jessi → EXID "UP & DOWN"

I learned about the background of this song after EXID became a popular girl group.

The original title of the song is "We Are At". I really wanted to hear the original, so I searched for it on YouTube.

I couldn't find it, so I listened to other songs by Jessi.

She's quite talented.

After listening to a few songs, I found it interesting that her husky rap and singing voice seem to have something in common with EXID's music, worldview, and performance.

I suddenly thought that this song, which became EXID's breakthrough song, was chosen because of the connection between LE, who was in charge of rapping in EXID, and Jessi.

〇TWICE → Girl's Day "Female President"

★According to the composer of Girl's Day's "Female President," this song was originally written for TWICE.

An internal meeting was held at "SIX TEEN," the audition program by JYP where TWICE was produced, and this song was planned to be included on TWICE's album after their debut.

However, "Female President" did not make it onto TWICE's debut album, and instead became Girl's Day's signature song.

Since the song was inspired by the image of South Korea's first female president, it was thought difficult to use it in TWICE, which also has a Japanese member...Fans can just choose and listen to the music they like.

However, for the creators, it is necessary to pay attention to even the smallest details.

Even a song that seems insignificant can determine the fate of a group.

Currently, TWICE is a top girl group, but if "Female President" had been included on their album and caused a fuss, it is unclear whether they would be where they are today.
