AOA releases two cover images for their new album "Good Luck"!
Korean girl group AOA has released the cover image for their 4th mini album "Good Luck".
AOA unveiled two group cover images for "Good Luck", WEEK and WEEKEND, on the official teaser site at midnight on the 9th.
The "WEEK" version shows AOA transformed into professional lifeguards, while the "WEEKEND" version shows AOA transformed into bouncy candy girls, enjoying the weekend with a lively and refreshing look.
The title song of this album, "Good Luck", is a refreshing dance song for early summer, composed by Matthew Tishler from Canada, who composed "Rain" by Taeyeon of Girls' Generation and "Sing for you" by EXO.
It contains the frank and bold confession of AOA, who shout out to the opposite sex they like, "Don't ever let me go."
Their agency FNC Entertainment said, "AOA will heat up the music industry in May with their powerful vocals and healthy beauty performances," raising expectations.
AOA, who announced their comeback on the 16th, will release a video teaser of AOA's lifesaver, "LIFEGUARD AOA'S WEEKDAYS," on the 10th through a teaser site.

It seems that the wave of K-POP, which has been stagnant for a long time, is starting to make a new wave this year.
Just like in 2010, K-POP girls may once again bring in the next trend.
In 2010, KARA played the vanguard role.
This time, it may be GFRIEND who plays that role.
In other words, the wave has already begun.
The song "ROUGH" sung by GFRIEND at the beginning of this year was as catchy as KARA's "Mister."
If this song had landed in Japan immediately in 2010, it would have been a huge hit like "Mister."
However, now in 2016, K-POP is struggling to get out of the recession, and "ROUGH" was only a hit in Korea.
In Japan, only K-POP fans may know of "ROUGH," which was a clean hit in Korea, and the name of the girls, GFRIEND.
However, in the ears of ardent K-POP fans, "ROUGH" must be etched as one of the great songs sung by K-girls.
This year, the number of Japanese traveling to Korea seems to be on the rise again.
In response to this trend, an entertainment article wrote that K-POP is once again gaining popularity in Japan.
Recently, I haven't seen many articles written like that.
It may not just be because the number of tourists has increased, but also because sales of CDs and other products are showing up in the numbers.
So, although a specific date has not yet been announced, I am looking forward to GFRIEND's arrival in Japan.
Because I think it will be these girls who will spark the K-pop boom.
They are far better singers than KARA, and their dancing is just as powerful.
If they can spark a resurgence in the boom, TWICE will probably take over after them.
If TWICE can fully fulfill the role that Girls' Generation played, K-pop will definitely be revived in Japan.
It is unknown whether GFRIEND will be able to continue in KARA's role just because they sparked a resurgence in the boom.
If they hit the sweet spot, they seem likely to take over all at once, but compared to AOA or Apink, they are less stable.
There is also a chance that it will end after one or two hits. AOA and Apink have the advantage of being able to maintain a certain number of fans even in the winter when K-pop hits rock bottom.
What we must not forget is that a resurgence in the K-pop boom will lead to a resurgence in the popularity of Girls' Generation, and as they have the largest fan base among K-girls, they will ride the wave and lead TWICE and others.
Will it be a showdown between the old and new, Girls' Generation, versus TWICE? Or will it be a battle between the top four, involving AOA and Apink?
If it is a battle between the top four, other forces will surely rush in, thinking, "I have a chance, too."
In the end, times and circumstances are different.
No one knows which group will survive. A plot written by humans cannot possibly be influenced by the fickle will of heaven.
So the resurgence of the K-pop boom is just a hunch, and heaven may be laughing it off.
