NOTE: Below is legacy information from 2012! Moved it here from the first post ++Stryfe
--
YG Entertainment (Big Bang, 2NE1) are gearing up to debut their new all-girl hip-hop group, and I figured there's enough information and rumors to start a thread on the group with what's known so far.
YG has said that the group will consist of more than 7 members, which definitely sets them apart from 2NE1 and Big Bang.
Confirmed Members:
Kim Eunbi (김은비)
(http://picroda.jphip.com/korean/jphip08018.png)
Age: 20
Contestant on Superstar K
Euna Kim (유나킴)
(http://picroda.jphip.com/korean/jphip08016.png)
Age: 19
Contestant on Superstar K
Unconfirmed Members:
Jenny Kim

Age: 16
From the Netherlands. Picture released via the YG Life blog on April 10, 2012 with a caption simply saying "Who's That Girl?"

It should be noted that the rap is not part of the original song.
More information as it's released!

Oh god, so far they're all named "Kim." I hope this is just a coincidence. I'm pretty excited about this group. I love YG, and from that training video I'm impressed with them so far. I'm interested in seeing what YG does with a large girl group to stand out from the likes of Girl's Generation, T-ara, and After School.
-
Oh GJ you made a thread >o<
Well I'm a bit worried because hip-hop isn't generally my thing - I really liked Big Bang's earlier stuff so if they have songs like that, I'll probably love them. But if it's like their more recent stuff... Uuuuhhh.
I'm intrigued anyway :P
-
WHO'S THAT GIRL??? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdhLxKFcOWQ#ws)
YG just posted this awesome dance practice video of what has to be the new group. This new girl's got some moves for sure! Super excited now~ YG TELL US MORE PLEASE!
Edit: and on looking at the picture at the end, this has to be Jenny Kim. Calling her "The 5th" confused me because this would be the 5th girl announced/teased or whatever, but she's really the third
-
I just saw that clip on AKP and wow very impressive...got me excited too.
-
hmm. interesting.
Also, Jenny Kim can fuckin' dance.
-
-
The gal can dance! Looks like it comes naturally too.
-
Jenny Kim looks cute lol ssssssshittt back flip GIRL
-
More of Jenny Kim. Her rap is alright. I like how after all that cursing she still gives a polite bow XD

YG girl comes in at 1:35. She sounds good!

-
Heeeey, it's Jennie. Not bad.
What a tease, I really like that song, and I was hoping to hear her sing the chorus haha.
-
So uh... Is this group ever going to debut? lol
-
Considering that Winner still hasn't debuted (I think they were supposed to debut a few months or so after that yg trainee competition show ended), I'm going to have to say no :lol:
There have been pics of them floating around though so at least we know they're still training!
-
-
Won't believe it until they're actually on stage performing
-
-
Fuu..didn't think about that. Hmm... :huhuh
-
-
-
-
-
Yeah WAS PROBABLY READY FOR A DEBUT FOUR YEARS AGO
-
-
-
Oh shit they got a name! One step closer to maybe actually debuting!!!
-
I kind of liked PINK PUNK. Oh well, they used have that name, I guess. Maybe the rumored second girl group with the other 5 trainees is going to have PUNK in their name haha
-
-
-
Don't get too excited! For all we know YG is probably just gonna release practice vids for the rest of the year and then forget about them.
-
-
-
-

-
-
It's finally happening..wow! *tries to keep expectations low*
EDIT:
mmm. Well I just finished watching that vlive showcase. First thoughts, nothing really stood out in terms of music. Wasn't really feeling whistle or boombayah. Was hoping to see them perform at least ONE song and all they did was introduce themselves so that was super disappointing. Welp time to wait till inkigayo to see that.
-
-
-
BLOWN AWAY. Nuff said. This is not a dream, right? They actually debuted!

Loving this group hard. Visually and musically. Most girl groups, I just watch for the visuals and don't really care to add the tracks to my playlist. This group is up my alley along with 2NE1 and EXID. I like groups with strong rappers :)
I can't even pick between the two tracks. I've had the both on repeat all week long. That's amazing. In the past there's always been a track I prefer with double releases, e.g. Big Bang's Loser over Bae Bae, Big Bang's Bang Bang Bang over We Like to Party, Winner's Baby Baby over Sentimental, iKON's Rythmn Ta over Airplane, etc. BP's tracks are equally awesome.
There were articles a few years back that GD produced some songs for them. I wonder if those have made it to the final album. I'm curious how GD does producing something no BB related. And speaking about writing songs, why aren't BP doing so? Is this some gender barrier? Do they not get song writing training like Big Bang/Winner/iKON? Makes me wonder because the same happened with 2NE1 and CL didn't start writing lyrics until their most recent songs. Song writers in GG seems pretty rare. We got LE in EXID and I think some members of Girl's Generation in recent time have been more involved. It is not something I think a group HAS to do, but YG seems to emphasis this in general, so it seems strange to me that the ladies get excluded from this.
I'm glad they went with four members. Line distribution right now is awesome with it being pretty equal over both songs, with Whistle favoring the rappers a bit and Boombayah favoring the vocals. Compared to bigger groups like iKON and Twice where some members barely get anything... Maybe next year we'll get a second GG out of YG like with Winner/iKON? I hope the other trainees didn't get cut :(
As for a BP bias. Oh man, that's a tough one. I think I'll go with Rose. Looks and beautiful voice. I liked her before I even saw her in GD's Without You (or whatever it is called) where they didn't even reveal here name. Holy crap she was 14 when they recorded that too. Everyone else is a close 2nd because they all have looks and great vocals/rap. That last post photo of Jennie had me thinking twice about my assessment of her looks haha I knocked her down a little because her cute looks like Apink's Naeun looks aren't my preference. I think Jennie is going to be my bias in a couple of years after she ages some :)

Official sbs inki links so when/if those links go down
Whistle (http://youtube.com/watch?v=E0zrvcp9Zvc)
Boombayah (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uYOY-dyeqeE)
Congrats on the Perfect All Kill too. Apparently it's the fastest group to do so. The hype for them was real.
-
Even tho I'm not a die-hard K-pop fan, let me add my random two cents.
- The name Blackpink is awesome. I'd support them just for that. In fact, thinking about getting a Blackpink T-shirt, haha.
- Undecided about their music yet, because while I find Boombayah pretty catchy, Whistle doesn't work for me at all. In that sense Twice is definitely more my cup of tea.
- Lisa seems to be their main attraction. The other girls don't really stand out to me in comparison. And even tho Lisa isn't really my type, I can definitely see her appeal.
- The Boombayah MV seems pretty damn random, haha. Not sure why it moves from a school, to a dance hall, to garbage bags, to a jungle, etc. And it ends with them roller skating and riding scooters. No idea what they were going for with this PV. :nervous
- The Boombayah choreography has its ups and downs too. I dig the moments where they touch the ground to match the sound. However, the native American style rain dance and song breaks I don't get. The part where the one girls slides underneath the others is pretty cool. Overall, it's pretty hype, but nothing too spectacular.
So yeah, mixed feelings. I can definitely see why they're popular. However, I am surprised they're *that* popular based on these songs/MVs. Then again, I watched Boombayah like a hundred times now, so they must be doing something right. :lol:
-
It is quite insane that they are perfect all-killing a week after debut. The next shortest perfect all-kill after debut is twice at 6 months with cheer-up. It is bananas.
Teddy is showing he is still the best in the business. I have both songs on repeat right now.

Cuz we need more Rose!

Rose could've gotten exposure the same time as Jennie when GD was promoting the One of a Kind EP, as she was featured in one of the tracks. But they kept her identity secret for some reason. But yeah, she certainly wasn't featured in many songs as Jennie did before debuting. Jisoo had some exposure in MVs, but I don't recall trainee vids like those that Jennie had, so I don't think I've heard her voice till now. We got trainee vids of girls who didn't make into BP... I hope they debut some day.

Thank goodness they have a practice vid. With the shitty camera work on inki you, or at least I, couldn't see that the choreo is quite nice.

I wouldn't expect their schedule to expand much. Probably just add M Countdown. YGE tends to always do Inkigayo. Pretty sure Big Bang only did Inkigayo last year. But iKon and Winner did M! Countdown as well this year, so looks like YGE is opening up on other shows. I think only Jinusean's comeback the other year actually went on KBS? I recall something being a big deal. YGE and KBS have long running issues. Not to mention, I think KBS has banned Boombayah anyway. YGE has adjusted the lyrics to Boombayah, but we'll see...
YGE and SBS are jointly producing a variety show. So it will soon be in YGE's interest to get their artists on that. Otherwise, historically YGE artists do minimal variety show work. They're focused on being musicians.
