MEANIE~

Recommended Posts

2012 - A year that kpop flourishes and takes a huge step into the world

AND

It is also a year that produce the most numbers of rookies

 

By Far,Many of you can name 10-20 of them

 

1. EXO

- Despite some members leave EXO,EXO still goes strong

- Album sales is the first in recent years

- Huge dominance in No.1

- The most successful

 

2. BAP

- They receive a lot of praises back from the time they debuted

- One of the strongest boy rookies in 2012

- But a dispute between them and TS cost them a decline of popularity

- Despite this,they are one of the2012  rookies who can pull through to take No.1

 

3. VIXX

- King of concepts (From Vampires to Hyde to Voodoo to BDSM theme then to Greek god theme)

- They manage to make hot topics and can sell a promising album sales

- Keep on coming back in each year and have a promising results

 

4. BTOB

- BTOB has great dance tracks but they do not have a stellar result when they use dance title track

- After they use "It's Okay","Way back home",the ballad concept bring them fame and fortune

- The 4th male rookie to win No.1 in Music shows and have a trend member - Sungjae

 

5. NU'EST

- NU'EST still holds a record of having the highest debut MV views (boys) 

- They are used to be popular

- It falls apart due to the rubbish management of Pledis

- Pledis gives them chance to come back the 2nd time in 2016,will they finally snag a win? 

I hope they can

 

6. C-CLOWN

- The most underrated boy group

- They have entered No.7 gaon weekly chart (Digital) (A huge and good result for boy groups)

- Yedang messes them up and disband them

- I want them to come back so bad

 

7. 100%

- They have a single "U Beauty" which is the best-charted that they have ever had

- Unfortunately,They do not possess the popularity that TEEN TOP has

- And when will they come back? I hope it will be in September

 

8. A-Jax

- Another misfortune group made by DSP

- A-JAX did not come back since October,2013

- And they had line-up changes

 

9. BIGSTAR

- Another group made by Brave Bros

- They do not have many cbs (As expected from Brave Bros)

- But their latest single - Moonlight Sonata nails it (Although it does not receive not many attention)

 

===============

 

10. Crayon Pop

- Crayon Pop was a nugu (not even performed in music shows when they debuted)

- But they managed to become the 1st girl rookie in 2012 to win No.1 with their massive hit - Bar Bar Bar

- But their popularity seemed to be fallen apart

- Can they pick up with their cb in september? Only Time will tell

 

11. AOA

- AOA starts off a band concpet which it does not really work for them

- But they managed to pull through with their greatest hit - Miniskirt

- The back-to-back hits of Short Hair,Like a cat,Heart Attack,Good Luck charts very good

- But the controversy happens,can AOA be able to prove themselves successful group in the next cb?

Only time will tell

 

12. EXID

- EXID went up against many challenges at first (line-up changes,declining popularity)

- But their greatest hit - Up and down becomes a miracle and lead them to win No.1 

- They had talents (Vocal,Rap,Composing) and they manage to win No.1 in back-to-back cbs

 

13. SPICA

- Famous for vocal talents

- Due to the rubbish B2M,SPICA has a long period to have no comebacks

- But they are always loved by Koreans

- If they come back with a great song,they will win

 

14. Hello venus

- HV is one of the girl group to have cute concept

- But everything changes when Ara,Yoonjo left HV

- And I'm ill,Sticky Sticky just did not work out for them

- Will they pick up in the next cb

- I hope they can

 

15. FIESTAR

- FIESTAR has some mebers which are really popular

- They have good songs but it just does not have fortune for them to win No.1

- Will they win No.1? They will,but they have to find their concept

 

16. TWO X

- Only have 3 songs after they debut

- But Ring ma bell is one of the most underrated songs in 2013

- Will they pick up in their "Over" song? I hope so

 

 

The above is 16 2012 rookies

There are another 2012 rookies such as D-unit,Cross gene,Tahiti

But I am not really knowing them

Comment if you have any opinions

 

2012 rookies are having the best but underrated debut which makes me speechless

And of coz,there are a lot of them should get what they deserve

But it ends up nothing which really makes me sad especially C-CLOWN

 

P.S I will write 2014 rookies when I have time!
