Immersed in miss A's special stage performance of "Hush"
miss Aの『Hush』特別ステージに浸りながら
On December 28th, the "2018 KBS Song Festival" was held with a year-end excitement, with the hot hosting of EXO's Chanyeol, BTS's Jin Jin, and TWICE's Dahyun.
The special stage by the visual members of the girl groups, who are representative of the girl group world, miss A's "Hush" was a video that was eagerly awaited to be uploaded to YouTube.
"Hush" is one of the most popular songs representing miss A (former), along with "Bad Girl, Good Girl" and "Good-bye Baby".
The number of MV views for "Hush" is approaching 50 million, and "Bad Girl, Good Girl" has exceeded 55 million. "Good-bye Baby" is likely to have had a similar number of views.
However, even though they disbanded, they were once a popular girl group, so I would have liked them to reach 100 million views.
Perhaps the pace of clicks has slowed down... Even if their popularity has declined, they would want fans to remember them through their songs and videos.
If they continue to receive clicks and are popular, it could lead to a group revival in a few years...
Fans who discovered K-Pop through BTS and TWICE may not know of a group like miss A, which has already disbanded.
Even if they do, they may not have imagined that Suzy was in it...
For a small girl group consisting of 4-6 members, it is desirable for the popularity of not only the group but also the individual members to be balanced.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to continue even if they become popular. For a large group, if about half of the members are popular, their popularity will continue to some extent.
However, it is rare to see a group of 4-6 members with a bias in the popularity of its members.
This is true of popular groups like BLACKPINK, Red Velvet, and Apink, as well as (G)I-DLE, who debuted this year.
All the girl groups that are becoming popular follow this theory.
Red Velvet is a four-member group, and the popularity of its members is well-balanced and stable.
However, at first, it was hard to deny that they were a bit small-time.
When a girl group's popularity doesn't live up to expectations and shows no signs of growing, they usually try to make a comeback by cutting or replacing unpopular members.
Red Velvet, which is a four-member group, did not have any unpopular members.
They had a balanced popularity, but no member had emerged who could make them explode in popularity.
So it appears that they tried to add more members as a stimulant. The person chosen was Yeri, who is much older than her.
There is an age gap of eight years between her and leader Irene.
It seems that she was entrusted with not only the technical aspects, but also the emotional expression (which is quite difficult. Perhaps calling it a feeling would be closer) that would resonate with her peers.
Yeri was not outstanding in terms of singing ability, dancing ability, or visuals.
But her youth and sensibility (feeling) were impeccable, attracting the attention of her peers.
It took time, but Red Velvet rose to become one of the most popular girl groups.
In the end, it seems that she lived up to the difficult expectations of the agency.
There are cases where, when singing ability or visuals cause friction with the popularity of a song, this becomes a fuse that shines a spotlight on other members one after another, and popular members are discovered.
This was the case with Girls' Generation's Taeyeon and Yuna, who possessed outstanding singing ability and visuals.
However, it should be noted that this is a coincidence of good fortune, and does not happen very often.
Miss A, which is made up of four members, was so dominated by Suzy that the group's activities became unstable and eventually became dysfunctional.
One reason was that Suzy's solo activities went too smoothly. Another reason was that the other members of the group were unable to secure a steady fan base.
As a result, when Suzy was busy with her solo activities, it became difficult for the remaining three members to perform on stage.
Events without Suzy would not have attracted fans, and the Chinese members who came from abroad would not have been able to perform solo as they wished.
As I was immersed in the special stage of "Hush" performed by six members from different girl groups, including Joy, Mijoo, Seowon, Jiho, Tzuyu, and Yeonwoo, I was reminded of Suzy's innocent cuteness when miss A first debuted.
The number of views was amazing, as it was a stage performed by the visual members of each girl group. They are becoming popular.
