BRAVE GIRLS (브레이브걸스) OFFICIAL THREAD: Hyeran & Hayoon Officially Leave Group

[mitsuhoney]

I had some trouble too a few weeks ago. I just asked in the mod thread, and they responded that "it actually follows your timezone...so if you click on the item in the marketplace it will show you the restock time according to the timezone you have set for OH. ^^"

 

Good to know! Well, I will be readily by the computer for the next restock date! I hope I can manage to get them on time!

Yuna is my bias, but she's not a good dancer. I watched almost all fan cam videos of her since deepend era. She rarely smiles on stage like other idols and makes mistakes.

 

Not smiling + mistakes + below average dance skill = No stage presence

 

No stage presence + below average vocal skill = no star power

 

I was sure, she could make it into the final girl group on the Unit, but I never thought she would gain attention with her skills, not even once.

 

She's funny, clumsy, shy and dorky

I watched almost all survival shows in the last three years and know by now that korean people prefer to support girls with these kind of personalities on tv.

 

Pretty face + funny >>>>>>>> Talent

 

It's a shame that not even one judge voted for her.

 

 

You know that is quite valid. What she does seem to lack is stage presence, but it is there, just not on the stage. As you have said, she is shy, funny, clumsy and dorky but none of that is really portrayed on stage. I think she wants to express that tough girl image when on stage, that was probably why she was not chosen unfortunately. While I might not have noticed her mistakes on stage, I more so noticed her very stern look on stage. Yujeong makes A LOT and I repeat, A LOT of mistakes on stage, or her dancing is really forced but because of her bubbly personality she makes it work for her (even though there are times where I cringe that she continues to fumble a bit when she gets on the chair for Rollin' or when she stomps way too hard for High Heels)

[mitsuhoney]

Thanks for that clip!

 

Hmm, Yuna was the only one who did not jump high like Yujeong or Eunji did, I guess that's a sign. Sigh. It really upsets me she's not in this.

[mitsuhoney]

And here we are trying to figure out why Yuna didn't make it and questioning her talent, when people with literally 0 talent and cringy aegyo were able to make it... nvm then, guess she was just not "charming" enough... (sorry, I'm too pissed rn)

 

Are you serious right now?! Wow, I have not even seen it and I am already mad...

[mitsuhoney]

Very serious, sorry we just spoiled the show for you, lol.

 

Don't worry about it. We kind of already knew what was happening, I just am more so angry that she did exceptionally well and they didn't choose her. Would have liked to see the judges responses, but as you said, apparently "cringey" and "ageyo" matters more for viewership *rolls eyes*

[mitsuhoney]

God, I really hope Eunji changes her hair...

[mitsuhoney]

KBS are idiots...

 

They have an idol rebooting show and some of the contestants that passed should not even be on this show (only debuting within the year, dreaming to be in another field of work such as acting or being a trainee)

 

While yes, I do agree that Yuna was very stiff on stage I can see why she wasn't chosen. As such, Eunji tore it up and I am really surprised that she got just one vote, like what the hell? Are you judges not paying attention? Uggh.

[mitsuhoney]

Really glad she is still going strong, I hope she takes this audition as a lesson and strengthens her charisma on stage. Maybe she should try to be herself more on stage rather than this tough girl image.

 

Meanwhile, I could totally see Brave Girls singing Want You To Say by PLAYBACK...

[mitsuhoney]

Hello Fearless,

*Secretly hoping a current The Unit contestant has to back out and Yuna replaces them*

[mitsuhoney]

I highly doubt there would be any new additions for Brave Girls to be honest.

 

Even watching that clip with the trainees in it, you can tell how nervous they were and of course they are very inexperienced compared with others. I also cannot bring myself to accept Mix Nine at all, I attempted watching it but YG just really infuriates me as an individual. I feel that Minyoung has strong vocals but she uses way too much strain. I remember back when Deepened came out, I noticed how similar her voice was to BG's previous main vocalist and leader, Eunyoung, so it seems that the vocal coach in Brave Sound does not really understand how to teach these girls how to "support" their vocals rather than "strain" their vocals. It is not like it is bad, but you easily fall out of breath when you strain your vocals, especially while performing. You can tell other members in the group now might not have a strong voice, but have a more "support" vocal presence than that of Minyoung.

 

I do feel that Minyoung and Hayun would have been pretty successful in The Unit. I would have said the same for Yuna, but watching the audition, it makes me feel like she really needs to know when to "turn off" the "tough girl image" on stage instead of leaving it on all of the time because it ends up making her look bad to the general public and may rub people off the wrong way as her not being serious about it. Yujeong and Eunji are good candidates, there's not too much to point out in Eunji, only for when she delivers, boy, does that girl deliver! And I really hope that the mentors and audience recognize that because that girl deserves it. Yujeong is getting a stronger vocal stance, but her weak spot is definitely her dancing. She isn't the worst dancer, but she does make a lot of mistakes so she will really have to work on that a lot. However, her undeniably 150% charm is so damn infectious, she can probably get away with anything.

[mitsuhoney]

Brave Brothers won't debut a new girl group with those inexperienced trainees in the near future, I doubt it.  If Yoo jinkyung makes it far on Mixnine it's the only solution to add her to Brave Girls. She would otherwise rot in the dungeon and her popularity would fade. 

 

We all hope that Eunji and Yujeong make it far on The Unit as well. 

Them cominded with Yoo Jinkyung should generate a huge rise of popularity for Brave Girls.

 

The only problem I see is the age gap. Jinkyung looks like 18 in korean age. 

 

How long have you been a Brave Girls fan? Because they were hiding in the dungeon for almost two and a half years before finally making a comeback, and a lot of people didn't think they would ever come back. Technically, only two of the original members came back and now, both of them are gone. So, this new iteration of BG is basically a new group. Brave Sound also stated they would be adding no more additional members to Brave Girls, so it is most likely that they will remain as the current 5 members.

 

I honestly feel that after all of the original members left, Yoojin and Hyeran were the only ones who decided to re-sign their contracts, thus why they were still in the group for Deepened and High Heels. But they are either complete with their second contract or (in the case of Hyeran especially) riding out the rest of their contract being under an "indefinite hiatus" before finally being able to officially say that they withdrew from the group. Once we got that surprise digital release of For You that only featured Hyeran and Yoojin's voices, I knew right away that the other members were gone, but nobody believed me. Years later, out comes Deepened.

 

If Brave Sound starts playing their cards right, they can easily find success. What he needs to focus on is training them better on vocals (especially supporting and not straining) and allowing more consistent releases of their artists, that way people notice them more. He really damaged the career the original Brave Girls could have had (because they did pretty well) but that was probably because of a variety of reasons that we will never know about.

[mitsuhoney]

Hey guys! Rollin' is up on the marketplace now! Please buy and support! I'll be sure to get High Heels and Deepened up very soon as well! Those request forms are hard to get and are like trying to find a rare Pokemon! 

[mitsuhoney]

thanks  already got mine.

Is it me or Eunji said "Yuna, Eunji fighting" at the end? And then "Oh" lol

 

Yay! I am glad!

 

You know, I think I heard that too lol

 

And, OMG, I just love your sig so much! That was just too cute!

[mitsuhoney]

BTW, I just put in the request for High Heels in the marketplace, it should be available soon! 

[mitsuhoney]

She's always such a character lol even when they have behind the scenes and public performances or activities for the girls she's always being silly and funny. I love her.

[mitsuhoney]

Minyoung is currently in London for vacation (hence why she is not with them) I wonder who that female solo singer is?

[mitsuhoney]

Took them long enough to put her photo up!

 

Also, I bought another Marketplace Request Form for Deepened. I guess I am way too much of a dedicated fan lol.

[mitsuhoney]

I really would love re-recorded versions of Do You Know, Easily, Nowadays You, Deepened and High Heels. Also, why didn't they give Hyeran's rap in High Heels to Yuna instead? She already has little to no lines in that song.

 

LOL when the whole crowd started singing along to Rollin' that was really cute.

[mitsuhoney]

Tbh, Brave should just release it while they're in this hiatus of new music.

 

Agreed! Give us something while we wait! I was hoping even though Yujeong, Eunji and Yuna were joining The Unit, they would give us a digital single (but please nothing like Yoohoo, I like to think that song never existed in their discography, what was Brave even thinking of releasing that song)

[mitsuhoney]

Yujeong and her never ending hate for aegyo, lol.

 

 

I am so with her on that lol (I actually have never like aegyo)

[mitsuhoney]

There seems to be a pattern. For the most part, most of the main/lead dancers or have more of a dancing background seem to be leaders. Anyway, woohoo! Get it Eunji! (Though, in BG, I always see Minyoung as the leader even though they don't have an official one)

[mitsuhoney]

Wait, they don't? I always thought Minyoung was the leader, even though Eunji gives me some leader vibes sometimes as well.

 

YES! I wish Eunji had a different hairstyle, she doesn't stand so much like this.

 

Nope. Eunyoung was their first and only leader. When they made their group return after their hiatus, none of them were listed as leader. Many people were thinking Yoojin was the leader but it was not officially said who the leader was. Then, as soon as she left people were starting to think it would be Minyoung. I do feel that Minyoung has the qualities to become a leader, especially when you watch their behind-the-scenes videos, she is so bad ass and excels at almost everything!

 

Agreed, she really needs to change this hair. She has had it long enough, I need to see Eunji's style circa Deepened, that was her best one. This fringe style she has going on forever is driving me crazy lol, she does not have a long forehead for a fringe (or bangs) to work for her.

[mitsuhoney]

Eunji needs her super long straight hair back

 

 

Justice for Eunji's gorgeous long hair! It must make a comeback!
