Do you know if there are any original members of Switch still in the group?

 

It's hard to say who is original with Switch, pretty much all of them are original. They always switch in and out members, just like the name of their group. Pretty much the girls in "fiestaloca" are the full group, but for years only a few of them performed and did MV's. The whole group kind of works like a subunit. "Fiestaloca" is the first time every member was involved in one of their MV's, while before only 4 or 5 did. If you watch their fancams from the past couple years, you see they have many different lineups, but you should actually recognize them all. They first debut with only 3 of the members, Doyu, Dami, and Saerom, for the single "shake it", then they did "Bikini" and "39 degrees" that included Yerin, all of whom are all still with the group right now. The rest of the girls were always there just not always active in their performance lineups. 

 

 

 

But how the heck could she possibly be gone when she IS STILL IN THE GROUP!!! Your post was in June. But Cupid made a collaboration with Rion Five in August. Bona was a part of that collaboration so...I don't know what Fanteastie is, but they aren't Cupid. Icia did a cover of Wa$$up by Wa$$up. Wa$$up isn't a well know group.

 

But the fancam didn't say "cover" when they did "I feel good". In the second video they did "shake it" by Sistar and the video title said "cover" in it. So I just simply put the puzzle pieces together. I think it was a fair guess. Wa$$up isn't a well know group but they are more known than CUPID. I find it pretty odd that a random group would cover "I feel good" rather than a more recognizable song. I'm just speculating, I mean the whole point is to find out what is really going on. I hope I'm wrong and that Bona and the true CUPID are still together.

>>> Thread a work in progress <<<

I appreciate what I-ren is trying to do musically, but ultimately I don't think it worked out. With some tweaks I think it could be a great song, but as is it's not really my thing.

 

Now I personally have no problem with their concept but I do wonder why they chose the hyper sexy in your face concept. Korean k-pop fans have shown that they really don't care for it and unless they want to play the victim card like Stellar did I don't think it's a good move. K-pop fans and the Korean people get real indignant over this kind of thing for whatever reason.

 

Also the name of the song is real bad imo. It feels kind of a throwaway title like booger or waist.

 

I pretty much agree with you. But at the same time...why not do it like this? Every other group is playing it safe, I mean I don't mind a group coming in and going against the grain giving a middle finger to what the casual Korean person thinks. For me it's a breathe of fresh air, I like these rebel groups. They come from a no name company to begin with, so even if they did a way less sexual MV, it's not likely they'd get any attention anyway. So perhaps their company thought, well, we've got one shot at glory, might as well live or die by their decision and debut with a bang. See where it goes from there. I mean I've been into Kpop long enough to know these types of things don't end well, but i still do like it when a group goes this route. 

I don't think so. Cupid says they are going to collaborate with Rion Five soon. However, only two of the members are still in the group...One of those members is Bona.

 

I think Bona is gone, because if you look at my post back on June 2nd there is a fancam and Bona isn't there. I never noticed it back then, because you can't see the girls that well. But in my most recent post above it's clear as day. It seems they've reformed and are now called Fantastie with all new member.

I haven't been following them for a while, so what's new? I just found this random fancam, and they are doing "I Feel Good". Has Cupid reformed? Because it makes no sense for any group to cover such an unknown song by such an unknown group. If they are doing this, it must be a reformed version of Cupid.

For a group at their level, I don't know if they are releasing stuff "late". It's not like there are loads of people anticipating their MV. They usualy perform their music before the MV comes out, probably because the MV isn't finished yet.
