"S.E.S." announces reunion! 90s super girl group to return
"S.E.S.", the super girl group that took the 90s by storm in Korea, has announced their reunion.
On the afternoon of the 3rd, member Bada wrote on her Instagram, "All the members are gathered together now. We feel it is best for us to announce this ourselves, so we are leaving this message," and "S.E.S. celebrated its 20th debut anniversary last year, and we want to create a meaningful time with our eternal friends."
She continued, "Honestly, we were nervous and excited until the moment we said, 'Let's try again.' Even just the news of our reunion made our fans respond with happiness, and it made us want to work harder to prepare. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who support us." Debuting in 1997, S.E.S. had hits such as "I Love You," "Like Holding You," "I'm Your Girl," and "Dream Come True," and was active as a super idol group in Korea until their disbandment in 2002.
(From K-POP News)
S.E.S. is making a comeback.
Great news.
From my point of view, they are the very origins of K-POP girls.
The image of them singing on TV after coming to Japan from Korea is still stuck in my mind.
They move around a lot while singing, so I thought they were moving a little too much, and that they could sing better if they focused on singing, which were slightly different from my current impression.
There may have been a preconceived notion that dancing in music is something that back-up dancers do, and that it doesn't suit Asian people to sing and dance.
If we analyze the development of the music scenes in Japan and Korea, Japan was strongly influenced by American rock music (Elvis Presley and the Beatles) due to its accelerated economic growth in the 1960s.
Korea's economic growth was much slower than this.
As a result, rock music gained momentum in the music scene via Japan, and hip hop music gained momentum as a direct import from America.
As a result, the power of direct imports prevailed, and Korean hip hop came to develop its own unique realm...
It seems that Japan rode the rhythm of rock music, and urban functions were developed all the way to the corners of Hokkaido and Kyushu.
But what about Korea?
It seems that rock music that came from Japan is still limited to the Seoul area and cities with factories (around Busan and Ulsan?).
And now, economic exchange between the two countries has become active at the private level.
The revival of "S.E.S." may also be related to this background.
It would be great if listening to their nostalgic music could help us understand how K-Pop has grown and changed.
I would like them to recreate the innocent purity of that time, but now that they are mothers, it may be a bit difficult to expect that from them... (bitter smile).
