Appreciation The REALLY original concepts of girl groups

[Danee Danee]

After School's tapping concept

After School's dance performances were one of a kind. (I need better pic of Lets step up).

First love was also great with pole dancing.

 

 

AOA's lacrosse players concept

Everybody going for tennis or cheerleading or some more popular sports. It was first time for lacrosse. As far as I know

 

 

APRIL's female scouts

Their dirndl concept was great too, but seriously dont remember if I ever saw female scouts concept being used at all. 

 

 

Berry Good's part timer concept

not glamorous enough to be recreated, but cute and followed with song enpowering everybody who is starting from the bottom.

 

 

Crayon Pop's helmets

Again not glamorous enough to recreate, but that was seriously fresh and cute.

 

 

 

T-ARA's Indians concept

T-ARA had bunch of kinda original concept, but this one wins tbh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Post more if you know some. I will update the list with it (if its really concept which wasnt recreated yet).

[Non.]

Wasn't T-ara's "Indian concept" considered controversial  ?

Nope. It was like 2011, people wasnt nonstop offended at that time.  The most criticized part was the lyrics which are super random even for kpop hook songs.

f(x) - old vhs art film concept

[Umji's butt minder]

Dunno if it counts since not gg, but MC Mong had already done indian concept in 2009 with "Indian Boy".

To be honest but I dont think suit concept is original... 

 

 

 

We got already KARA for Damaged lady

 

SNSD for Mr Mr

 

T-ARA for I'm really hurt

 

Even Red Velvet did it for Be natural

 

 

 

 

 

 

But have to admit Twice babies looked georgeous in it.  Watched their performances and they should do this concept next. It suits them so much.

T-ARA's Kitten Concept for Bo Peep Bo Peep too (they started it)

Not hating, but t-ara got the suit concept in 2010 before Kara and Snsd :/

Well

 

[Twice's Cotton Candy]

Also Twice's zombie concept 

 

 

And their Disney cosplay concept 

 

[Maks.K]

Also Twice's zombie concept 

 

 

 

 

 

But they were not the first with zombies

 

 

Though I did not see Twice`s MV with zombies so may be concepts are not the same.

Berry Good was the not the first with part timer concept but you posted them anyway

Not me. I am not OP. And I have not posted any concepts at all...

[Twice's Cotton Candy]

sorry. I think what I'm trying to say is you're right, you haven't seen Twice's LOA music video, so it doesn't make sense for you to point out how original they are or not. 

[Maks.K]

-) No big deal. 

Also even if group was not the first it doesn`t mean automatically that they did no good. Original or not - good MV, good performance is still good.

You don't need to see it, you only need to know they did it AFTER someone else did. It's not rocket science, honey. The concept wasn't original at all. Tons of mvs have had zombies. None of their concepts have been original, so Twice fans needn't continue making fools of themselves in this thread. I mean suits? Really? Only every girl group in kpop have done that.

You think Korea would LOVE a girl group who didn't bring anything new to the table?? Twice are nation's girl group BECAUSE they're unique and have unique concepts. Besides, everyone knows that Twice's MVs are the best in the business. Sounds like Twice got you whipped! Stay pressed boo  

[Newtro Scamander]

that zombie concept, T-ARA & 4Minute doing that way before Twice.

Well you seem to think Korea LOVES Twice, so I don't know, you tell me? Either way, they haven't brought anything new to the table. either musically or visually. That much is certain. Not that their hordes of teenage fans who just latch onto whatever is shiny and popular at any given moment & lack the attention span required to remember anything else would know any better. You appear to be a great example.

There is no particular order in my post. Just the way how the songs came to my mind and T-ARA is definitelly included.

 

If we want to talk about first... I believe FinKL did it too and way before T-ARA, in like 2000 (?). 

 

Just havent found good quality pic.

Well...

 

What you posted was really not part-timer concept.

 

Taeyeons mv was not about her working at all and the concept wasnt used anywhere else than in part of the concept.

 

Honestly I dont know where is the second gif from. Can you provide me a song name so I can check and delete Berry Good from the list if needed. :D

 

But still... The group literally promoted as part time workers in restaurants, shops (like... really working there before and after their performance) and such and in kinda realistic uniforms, not really made to look pretty like for example AOA in Short hair who chose kinda sexualised jobs and wear uniforms which arent realistic at all... Never saw part-timer concept like Berry Good's before personally.
