I’m in the middle of watching Yu Heiyeol’s
Sketchbook right now. Its showing G Dragon sings Fantastic right now. I’m not
fans of GD after all. There a lot of thing that I want to write actually, but I
didn’t know which one I should write first. Entry about woolim+sm merger still
hanging. My Beautiful Stranger also not in progress.. I’m just
pathetic..sob..sob.. (T.T)
I really salute to people that can write. For me to
finished just first part of My Beautiful Stranger is really…really HARD! I took
almost three hours just to finish the first part. And to be honest I don’t even
know what I had written! My English really terrible..And don’t bother to tell
me how bad my grammar since I already know that. Even after learning English
for almost 20 years, my English still BAD.
Ok. Cut off all the nonsense! This entry I wanna
talk about SEXY CONCEPT among kpop girl group. What do you think about this
kind of concept? Good or bad? Personally I gonna say its BAD. As I said..
“PERSONALLY”... which mean my personal opinion. I did some research about this
kind of topic, basically this kind of concept already start long time ago. Do
you remember RaNia’s debut song Dr. Feel Good? It’s come out even before
HYUNA’s Bubble Pop. Just because KPOP more and more intention, this thing being
an issue. But what I gonna talk right now, even this concept already been used
long time ago, right now it’s become huge and can I say its not under control
anymore? Concern about sexy concepts in
KPOP industries has reached a new high point, thanks to the release of
Stellar’s Marrionatte MV, I think.
To be honest, I don't really into girl group in
Kpop. The first girl group I knew was Wonder Girls, SNSD, and Miss A. I think I
rarely listen to Kpop in 2010, never heard about Kpop I think. I did listen to
Korean song since I like Korean drama but I’m not into “idol” since “idol” song
usually not fit with my type (except for 2AM since they sing ballad’s song).
Ok. Back to the topic, sexy concept, first I can enjoy their first sexy concept
such as SECRET's "Poison", Girls Day's "Expectation",
SISTAR's "Alone" and a few other girl groups that I can say it's sexy
but I still can watch it. Till AOA slowly change their concept from
"Elvis", "Get Out", "Moya", "Confused",
till "Mini Skirt". Actually I don't really like how they shoot butts
and boobs. Rainbow BLAXX added the list of girl group sexy MV I dislike. Their
provocative move and pose, also they way they took the video is just.. eww. The
last group which has this very sexy concept also Stellar and I do not like it
at all.
Ok..If it comes to Brown Eyed Girls…actually I don't
know what to say. I don't really listen or look to them, but what I heard, they
sexy. The last MV from Gain "Fxxk U" is just…AWKWARD (???).
After all the controversies due to strong sexual
concepts for the many girl groups that returned in January and February, KCSC (Korean
Communications Standards Commission) finally took some action. It has been
reported that the KCSC recently summoned the staff members of SBS'
"Inkigayo," KBS' "Music Bank" and MBC's "Show! Music
Core" for a meeting. The KCSC gave their stance on the issue of showing
excess skin on broadcast and discussed future plans on how each of the music
programs will address this matter. The music programs have been inspecting each
group, sometimes asking groups to change their outfits or choreography or even
banning some groups from broadcast in the past. The KCSC has strongly emphasized
that the girl groups' level of exposure is too much and that tighter
regulations and restrictions need to be made. Some have been saying that it is
too late as many of those previously mentioned girl groups are wrapping up
their promotions. However, it might be a stepping stone to prevent
controversies from arising in the future.
Now let’s discuss about why they go with sexy
concept. One of the big disadvantages girl groups have compared to male is that
they find it more difficult to build up large and supportive fanbases. Female
fans of boy groups tend to be more loyal than fans of girl groups. As a result
they usually try to work harder to get mainstream popularity by getting high
rankings in the digital singles charts. The problem with this is that while
being high in the charts might mean more people are listening to your music, it
doesn’t necessarily mean more cash. It also doesn’t give groups guarantees for
future sales as there aren’t as many loyal fans that they can rely on to buy
albums and merchandise. This creates an atmosphere of fierce competition
between girl groups who are all seeking the same attention from the general
public and leads companies and groups to do anything they can to catch their
eyes. And it’s WORK!
Since I’m not very fond with girl group, I don’t think
I can say many things about it. But what I really care is this kind of concept
just will tarnish kpop industries and will give ‘cheap’ vibes. I still think
that they should more focus on their music. It’s ok to use sexy concept but
make sure the quality of the music all so good.
The good quality of music last longer than sexy concept that they use
now since most of them just sexy but song..omg…I cant even listen it. That the
main reason why I don’t like girl group. As a woman, I feel ashamed to watch
that kind of performance. hemm.. Oklah.. That all for this entry. Ohya, sorry no picture for this entry. I 'cant' put any of them. Since I feel ASHAMED about it!
