sergel 3,567 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Jaekyung has been doing a lot of interviews for photoshoots lately this year. Here's a summary of what she said, done by SookieBunnie Jae Kyung talks about what Ji Sook & Woo Ri have been saying these last few months on radio and in magazine about a comeback (that there is none in-sight for 2014 "plans for the year haven't been made yet we are doing solo activities for the time being" is what Woo Ri & Ji Sook have echoed in past). The rest is pretty much about what she has been doing this year (God's Quiz 4, Get It Beauty, Turning Point, Tell Me Your Wish, etc. etc.) and some other personal things (Rainbow's history/releases, actors/idols she's worked with in dramas, traveling, fashion, her hobbies, family, etc. etc.). She wants to expand into different acting roles. Jae Kyung says 2014 is a turning point in Rainbow's careers. They are expanding out into new areas of interest that they enjoy doing (hosting, reporting, acting, variety, blogging) and they are entirely focused on their solo activities rather then making music (Jae Kyung says she doesn't really miss being a singer at the moment because she's really enjoying her solo activities, at least that's the way I took it when she responded "I don't miss it." when asked about being a singer). Rainbow's goal is to bring a awareness of Rainbow to new people in these different areas (hosting, reporting, acting, variety, blogging) and using their talents/interest for the future benefit of the group. She says by being in different areas you can experience the 7 different charms of Rainbow. That they can each have a charm that appeals to someone. All the girls are working hard on achieving this as a team even if they are apart and enjoying what they are doing. Basically Rainbow wants all of their individual opportunities to translate into new found interest in the group as whole. Jae Kyung considers Rainbow's fandom small, mostly made up of men in their 20s-30s. Though, she said she isn't missing being a singer right now, Jae Kyung also noted that she wishes to return to the stage one day in the future. She apologizes for the wait. Her goal is for Rainbow to produce a new strong album and to turn their fandom around with a more wide spread targeted audience. This is again something she feels this year's solo activities focus will achieve. She wants to have more variety in the fandom as a future turning point for Rainbow. Lastly, she repeated that Rainbow's long-term goal is to remembered as a group whose music created a happy virus in people's lives. Jae Kyung is all for/about confidence and positive energy. Working hard on making her Designer Kim persona a brand name and marketing herself under that persona was another thing she mentioned. Oh she also said she was against her brother becoming an idol himself She was asked about a comeback and album this year to which she responded with a laugh... "Right now is the time for Kara. I think the next turn will belong to Rainbow." (It was kinda implied that end of the year maybe possible by the article writer, so really it's no guarantee because they are most likely just assuming) The article then spoke about how long it's been since Sunshine came out (1 year, 3 months), the fandom getting eager for a album, etc. etc. Jae Kyung spoke about being very busy with solo activities right now and she kinda stressed for patience and explained the long delay time by responding.... "Rushing to produce an album is not a good idea. Our time will come." Jae Kyung also mentioned she wants to become a versatile all around entertainer. A quick summary of the summary Jaekyung, Woori, Jisook, and I believe No Eul have said that there probably won't be a come back from Rainbow this year. Next year probably though. They said they want to take their time producing a good album. Jaekyung is really enjoying her solo work lately, and it seems the other members too are exploring different fields to go into (broadcast, blogging, design, drama, variety, etc.) They hope to reach a lot of people, basically bringing more variety into their fandom, which has had people leaving for other groups like 9 Muses and AoA. The hiatuses hurt in that regard. Rainbow wants to make music that is positive, uplifting, and can make people a bit happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seultoria 211 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Do their solo activities have Hyunyoung doing JAV? Because I don't see the other six members doing anything aside from Jaekyung being everywhere and Jisook running her blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

핵! 6,020 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 lol sounds like Jaekyung acknowledges that Rainbow is unpopular and because of that she doesn't enjoy her career as an idol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jisook is on Entertainment Weekly as a reporter/interviewer. SeungA is...in school? And on a couple variety shows here and there. No Eul was on a variety show recently. Yoonhye is taking selcas and playing with her pets. Other than that, they're just doing more college performances and traveling abroad here and there.

masketta 2,783 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 TT_TT this made me so sad, poor nugu Rainbow and Jaekyung, so much potential but wasted by DSP. I hope there's still a chance for the group to get popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CutiieAngiie 534 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I think Jaekyung is one of the most talented idols in KPOP. For real, it would be easier to write list of the things that she can't do. I read that she creates her own clothes, bag, can make silver accessories and the list goes on and on. OMO, I completely forgot that she can cook too. For real, I didn't expect anything from her when she guested on Running Man but daamn, she impressed me. It's a wonder why she is wasting her time on Rainbow. I get that it's her group, that she is getting gigs left and right but still, a part of me believes that she is the one supporting Rainbow and not the other way around. But oh well, maybe Rainbow can hit big. You never know. They just have to come with a good song and not some "trashy" stuffs like Cha Cha Cha. She was hot in the MV though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was hot in the MV though :D The same reason she picked them over SM, as you mentioned with someone with a many a talents, she could've easily gotten to anywhere she wanted, even now; but shes one of those who values the loyalty with her members over the success. Besides I'm sure with their respective solo promos they still have it enough in them to give it another good shot, as long as they go with something similar following their roots in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHuzr 1,383 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 If there were ever a list of greatest KPop songs past and present "A" and "Mach" should be included IMO. On camera they give it their all and are likeable. I hope they're like that off camera as well. Jaekyung has a good head on her shoulders and it's obvious (as a leader) she cares and feels responsible for the group. It's too bad they haven't found a higher level of success like top tier groups. Hopefully through their solo activities they'll grow individually and regroup with a stronger presence. Maybe then they'll achieve the level of success they're hunger for.

I think TMTM and Sunshine was it in overall feel for bringing happiness, but they seem to have realized that spreading a positive message can be done in many different ways.

CarolinaPanthersFan 629 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Well, sorry, Rainbow fans, it looks like that along with SHINee and IU stepping aside from releasing new music this year, it looks like we won't be hearing new music from Rainbow this year either. The group's leader, Jaekyung has said that the members are going to focus on other things, from dramas to variety shows. So that means there won't be any new music from the girls for the rest of the year. But there's a chance that the girls will return with new music next year so we gotta wait patiently and find out for sure. So until then, the Rainbow BLAXX special album will hold us over until Rainbow comes back as a full seven member group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't IU release a cover album and a single or something? She never promoted or made a full comeback though, yeah. Funnily enough, when Rainbow and Shinee came back in 2013, they ended up following the same model and split their albums up. the struggle man ughhhhhhh The struggle is real. Speaking of activities, Jaekyung has a fansigning for Jill Stuart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
