LINK TO BLOG POST Korean Artist of the Week: Sep 22 - 28 SPEED (스피드) Check out their thread HERE SPEED is an all male idol group under Core Contents Media. The group currently consists of Jungwoo, Taewoon (Leader), Yoohwan, Taeha, Jongkook, Sejoon, and Sungmin. Prior to the creation of SPEED, the members: Taewoon, Sungmin, and Jungwoo were under a mixed group called Co-ed School in 2010. In 2011, CCM announced that it would be dividing Co-ed School into two groups. One group was a female group called 5Dolls, while the male group was delayed for a time being. The male group at the time consisted of the male members in Co-ed school which included Jungwoo, Taewoon, Sungmin, Kwanghaeng, Kangho, and Noori. On November 2011, Kangho left the group and was replaced by Jongkoook. In January 2012, they were given the name SPEED. In addition, SPEED released their first digital single “Love Dovey-Plus†which was a homage track to T-ara’s song “Lovey Dovey.†The following month, CCM added Sejoon, Yoohwan, and Taeha, while ex-members Kwanghaeng and Noori left the group. In January 2013, the group made their “official†debut with the single “It’s Overâ€. They also released their debut album Superior SPEED and the following month, they released their repackage album Blow SPEED. Recently, SPEED has released a mini called SPEED Circus with much of the production being controlled by SPEED’s leader Taewoon. source Featured Songs It’s Over Don’t Tease Me Focus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIBAcHyWLSc That’s My Fault Other Songs Tears of Mind (w/ T-ara, 5 Dolls, and The SEEYA) Hey My Lady Look At Me Now Why I’m Not Zombie Party Previous Artist of the Weeks Week #1 [May 17 - May 23] Eastern Sidekick Week #2 [May 24 - May 30] Fana (화나) Week #3 [June 21 - June 27] Idiotape (ì´ë””오테잎) Week #4 [sep 8 - Sep 14] Royal Pirates (로열 파ì´ëŸ¿ì¸ ) Week #5 [sep 15 - 21] 8eight (ì—ì´íŠ¸) Wrap Up As expected being under Core Contents Media, SPEED has a very solid discography like their labelmates T-ara, Davichi, 5Dolls, and The SEEYA. I really didn’t expect many of their songs to be so hip hop influenced, so it came as a nice surprise to me since I’m a huge fan of K hip hop. I personally found every track I listened to be very enjoyable, and there really wasn’t any “filler†song I could point out. SPEED is a very fortunate to have such a talented leader (Taewoon) who can compose and write songs. SPEED is an idol group with many talents. They’re a very entertaining group to watch, and I like how much variety they offer when it comes to performing to music shows. In “It’s Overâ€, they showed off their intricate tutting, while in songs “Zombie Party†and “Don’t Tease Me†present some theatrics to their performance. Also, they dance with total synchronization which makes every performance enjoyable. I look forward to their upcoming comebacks because everything about them is top notch.

Danee 5,049 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 SPEED is great group, as expected from CCM. Its just pity their comepany release all of their songs once of year, if they instead kept them coming back every 3-4 months, they would be more popular imo. Nobody would wait a year or more for small group cb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawlaw 11,951 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 SPEED is great group, as expected from CCM.

Nobody would wait a year or more for small group cb. I think they did try that this year with Speed Circus in February, Zombie Party in March and then a repackage in April, but I agree they need to spread it out a little more. I want to see them go back to a known composer/producer, as thats usually good to drive appeal and then they can go back to their own thing and hopefully have a hit song. With what they tried to do with Pain and then the Speed Circus album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no manager, but I think it would be better to do it like SPEED Circus in February, Zombie Party in (lets say) June and Look at Me Now in October... They wouldn't be so forgetable like it imo.

Miss Fei 742 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 yessssssss SPEED is my ultimate boygroup bias. Taewoon is part of the underground crew Royal Class, sadly their mixtapes are hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
