2015: The Year of Rookie Girl Groups! Red Velvet, Lovelyz, Sonamoo, GFRIEND

1. Red Velvet

SM's rookie girl group quartet. They are following Girls' Generation and F(X). Their visuals and talents seem good. Like the activities of Girls' Generation with "Into The New World," their start was not satisfactory either. It was difficult to recognize the concept of Happiness because it was messy. Then their follow-up song, a remake of SES's "Be Natural," did not get them much progress. The concept was sexy so it was disappointing seeing mature beauty instead of innocent beauty that fit Red Velvet's youth. The members are cute, have nice skills, and if they receive a good song they can become a hit. However, SM's ability to correctly match Red Velvet to the right song and concept to gain success is yet to be determined. SM is also known for being unable to get popularity for their four-member girl groups like MILK and The Grace.

2. Lovelyz

Woollim's first girl group. Being from Infinite's agency, member Yoo Jiae made an early appearance alongside Infinite in their program. Afterward, she had an appearance on Running Man. Due to this it was believed that she would get the most attention on their debut. Instead, Ryu Sujeong and Kei ended up receiving most of the spotlight. Like other groups they debuted with a pure concept. Candy Jelly Love's choreography doesn't really have any specific scenes that are memorable. Their songs are good, but the concept itself, however...I'm not sure if it's adequate enough. Depending on how well they do in their follow up song, opinions on them will continue to vary.

3. Sonamoo

They are group from Secret's and BAP's agency. Based on their first teaser it was expected they would do an innocent concept. However, the twist was that they came out with a hip-hop concept like BAP. Hip-hop girl groups usually don't have big hits. Since they debuted with that type of unfavorable song they are likely to not have one either. I believe innocent and sexy girl groups are the trend right now, and not those with fresh concepts. It's also thought that a few of their male and female fans are unreasonable.

4. GFRIEND

The first and only group created solely by Source Music. Source Music specializes in music production and distribution. Originally they joined with Big Hit to make GLAM, but due to a disgraceful incident they couldn't get ahead. Source Music tried to do things on their own for this girl group. They also have many contacts within the grunge music industry. Despite debuting just yesterday, they already have various activities in their schedule, including Music Bank, SuKiRa, and soon their own reality program will also come out. (Jung Hyung Don, Kan Miyeon, Hong Jinyoung, Orange Caramel, etc. will make special appearances). The debut song itself and their concept are very good. There are some who feel they are like a mixture of different girl groups. It also appears that they have a considerable amount of antis.

well SM just need to use the hype created by all these rookie award wins and their large fandom and give a public-friendly song in the same veins as happiness but a little bit more mature

i'm curious about how their album sales will be since fangirls form an overwhelming majority of RV's fandom

I did not check the others 3 groups yet, so i can't comment about them.

 

But, yeah, I hope Red Velvet can do a great comeback, let's wait and see what SM will give them next. We saw that RV fans (in korea) want something more like Happiness and less like Be Natural. I want to see what will come next.
