GirlBye 27,959 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Article: Do we have to know why Rainbow isn't getting popular?Source: ize via Naver1. [+4,552, -273] I know this is a bit unrelated but I don't think there's any other solo female singer who's struggling as hard as NS Yoonji is... especially for someone with a great body and good singing talents ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹2. [+3,371, -120] When they came out with 'A', their company had to either come out with a decent follow-up song or put them in a lot more variety shows but they had none of them. It's weird how the group has individually popular members but not a particular member to push in terms of charms.3. [+3,012, -213] Honestly, the members are all okay but they don't get popular because their songs are bad... the end.4. [+2,684, -87] Their agency is the biggest problem5. [+1,704, -217] If Rainbow had made 'Tell Me Tell Me' and 'Sunshine' back to back hits in 2013, they could've become a group bigger than even SISTAR by now... they had the song and concept to win #1 but they didn't ã… ã… and DSP had a period where all they cared about was KARA... Rainbow has the talents, dance, concepts, and visuals and bodies that are comparably better than other girl groups but those two songs in 2013 never hit #1 and they lost their chance to rise to the top..6. [+455, -87] Speaking on just the members, they look better than A Pink7. [+317, -12] 'Mach' and 'To Me' were really popular but DSP only cared about KARA then and Rainbow was used to perform at small events without any new albums.8. [+304, -13] They pushed Kim Jaekyung too much in the beginning. She doesn't have any variety talents so they should've gone with Woori, Noeul, or Hyunyoung ã… 9. [+273, -6] Their agency is to blame. Their 'Black Swan' promotions were finished after just one broadcast and not another word about it again... their concept was probably their best but their song was their absolute worst. We're not asking for another 'A' level hit, just another song like 'Tell Me Tell Me', 'Sunshine', or 'Mach' would've sufficed.10. [+270, -24] I remember Jisook subbed for Sunny on FM date and she has a knack for speaking... she's good at everything, I really don't get why Rainbow isn't more at the top.

Devilishponie 7,980 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Why? The answer is because DSP focused only on KARA when Rainbow were about to make it big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillysone 6,340 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I like Rainbow, they're a great group. They had everything they needed for success, but somehow it didn't work out for them due to many factors. I hope DSP won't disband them, despite many rumors. They should at least have another comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillapia 255 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 even tho I love rainbow they haven't really had a good title song (even tho mach is my jam) or they simply promote the wrong one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chioma 4,091 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Luck is not on their side. If you take groups that are trending right now,it's not all about the talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese2 3,241 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 didn't dsp send them to japan (i guess due to kara popularity) right after they had a popular song when the should've stayed in korea to solidify themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feat. you 1,103 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's really not that big of a mystery if you ask me. Rainbow did decent enough before DSP wanted to have Kara 2.0 in japan. When it failed they gave Rainbow a cute concept for their Korean comeback and that's why they aren't popular. Had they continued where they left off with the cool and confident concepts i think things may have been different considering this was before groups like girls day and AOA made their presence known.

LittlePinky82 1,303 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Dsp sucks? If it wasn't for ss501 fans they probably would have flopped too. And khj doing his dramas. Kara had issues with popularity too. I feel bad for rainbow. They had potential. Where's ajax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy 154 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Rainbow, DSP hasn't done them that many favors I guess but still keeps them around so there's that. Could be worst, Jewelry got disbanded and ended all together. Promoting multiple girl groups in the same company is doable. I don't follow Rainbow, I know some members through their variety appearances, but they've had some songs that I like and enjoy. and def in my playlist.

dragonfly0915 3,245 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Taking that long hiatus between Sweet Dream and Tell Me Tell Me was probably a mistake, they could have used the momentum from To Me to launch them up into a higher level of popularity, but by the time they returned in 2013 they were an afterthought. Real pity because it's not like they never stood a chance--they did, but DSP missed the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
