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)

Age: 20
Contestant on Superstar K
Euna Kim (유나킴)

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?"

Mystery Girl

Picture released via the YG Life blog on May 4, 2012 with a caption simply saying "Who's That Girl?"

Training video of Euna Kim and Kim Eunbi (cover of Sam Sparro's Black and Gold):

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

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

Fuck yeah, she's got the moves. YG so secretive... but with snippets like these, can't help but get intrigued and excited.

On January 15, YG Entertainment released one picture under the title “Kim Ji Soo- YG New Artists.” The agency introduced her as “mystery girl #2” during the first half of last year. She’s born in 1995 and is 18 years old. She excels at both singing and dancing. Kim Ji Soo is the first confirmed member of YG’s upcoming girl group.

The new girl group (originally consisting of 7 girls) made an unofficial debut through Lee Hi’s single “Scarecrow” where they pitched in during the chorus. In a surprising move, YG later mentioned that 1 or 2 girls from the group will be dropped and it turns out that 1 of the girls in the picture will no longer be part of the group.

Currently, the new girl group will consist of 5 members. Nothing regarding the debut date has been mentioned, which is causing much anticipation from fans and industry insiders because YG has become one of the most influential agencies within K-Pop.

Another Kim Jisoo teaser pic.

What a tease, I really like that song, and I was hoping to hear her sing the chorus haha.

shirenuファクトリー · « **Reply #16 on:** March 26, 2014, 10:09:30 AM »

So uh... Is this group ever going to debut? lol

storyboard · « **Reply #17 on:** March 26, 2014, 11:08:03 PM »

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

There have been pics of them floating around though so at least we know they're still training!

Stryfe · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2016, 11:27:49 AM »

Wow, it's really happening, isn't it?

storyboard · « **Reply #19 on:** June 02, 2016, 01:18:53 AM »

Won't believe it until they're actually on stage performing
