Damn, since Boram of T-Ara was in a horror movie I’m assuming she picked up some traumatising habits and probably scared my subconscious into singing that bloody line of their new track over and over and over again in my head! And I strangely am starting to love it…. O_O
Anyway, since some people are being super pissy because they’re most likely super lonely in the Winter season since their busy online ragging on us for not updating…(Well excuse us for having jobs/personal lives/love lives/an education). I thought I’d put in a little fluff post here about my opinion of this years girl groups.
Now, in the not so famous words of a famous TV judge I want to say that “I do not want to compromise the integrity of this blog by writing blog posts that have no honest opinion”. So if you happen to be mortally insulted by other’s opinion then I suggest you turn away, or better yet learn to deal with the real world pansies. Of course this is a strictly opinion K-entertainment site about whatever we feel like covering, be fully aware that I do have tongue firmly in cheek.
I must say thanks though to those that support us, keep coming back and welcoming us with kind words, we majorly appreciate it. Those on the other hand that whine and moan, hush up and go elsewhere, we owe you nothing. 
Now, down to pointless yet fun business!
T-ARA
I mention these girls first because I still can’t get their cosplay outfits out of my head, and that ain’t for a good reason. Don’t get me wrong, Fabio likes good cosplay but when it just looks cheap and stupid…. Well, it’s cheap and stupid. Anyhow, this girl group was getting a lot of attention before they debuted earlier this year. What with their “years of training”(I really wish people stopped using that line, cos who hasn’t had years of training in Kpop now?), and Mnet backing them, people were definitely going to pay attention. Unfortunately they had two members leave before they even made their first stage. It was sad since one of them was the only girl I remembered and had a distinctive voice. Anyhow, their swishing dance moves for “lies” and their moderately successful single “TTL” with the Supernova dudes made for a promising start.
Frankly, they’re like every other new girl group, it’s just that they have Mnet backing them. What with the great benefit of having your own popular channel to have free promotions with, they’re bound to catch on. I don’t really see anything special with them but they do grow on you. I only actually like 2 of them, and perhaps it is due to exposure. Despite the exposure issue, mini TaeHee still freaks me out. I just wish Mnet gave them better music and I am also aware the rap was mega cringe-worthy when they debuted, I also did watch their opening performances just to lol at them. Cruel, yet at least I tuned in. Good luck but really some of them need to work on their singing, only one can actually sing well live.
2NE1
I really do think I made clear what I think about them before, nonetheless, musically I much prefer 2NE1 to all other groups out there. OK, OK, Dara can’t sing if her life depended on it, and yes she is so cheesy I think she oozes cheese rather than oil. Though, at least she looks like she’s enjoying herself on stage. LOL. They probably must have had the most successful debut I can even remember, and that isn’t an achievement I’m betting my life on, (since I’m writing this while I haven’t slept for a day or two so my memory is hazy), but that IS kudos worthy. Or a big cry out to the K-Pop industry… MAKE BETTER MUSIC DAMN IT! Really, no wonder the industry is suffering. I am not their biggest fan but props to them, or to YG, whatever. They have so much to work on with their stage presence, which I don’t just think is lacking, but I sometimes (Most of the time) feel like is non-existent. Still I’m rallying for a petition to get them as much back up dancers as possible, because really the stage always looks so empty and dead when they’re on it.
Yes, I have called CL a troll before, but that’s only cos G-Dragon did first. Nonetheless she is growing on me, why? Because I realise that her identity issues are a problem she seems to be working with and that she’s not such a bad lass and thus my mocking has turned to pity. And if you were G-dragons clone you would have problems too! And Bom, one day you will regain movement in your face and you wont just simply look like your saving marshmallows in your mouth for later! Barring all of that, I still look forward to their next group album I just don’t dig their solo music. Good luck and come back as a foursome soon please, no more drifting!!! And I actually find Minzy faultless, she can dance, sing and rap, well done to her!
f(x)
Firstly, their music is perfect for afternoon Ajumma aerobics lessons with Chinese Instructor Victoria teaching at the local community centre. Secondly, they seem so sweet.
That’s it.
I had a lot to rant on about them before, but now I’m just wondering what new strange concoction of songs and dance moves they’ll come out with next. That and when Amber will start finally look like she hasn’t mistakenly walked in on the wrong stage and performed with the wrong group.

Magnae on the far right looks so high!
I probably critiqued these girls the most positively, lol. I started enjoying their performances a lot when they started their “Muzik” promotions, it was funny since I got so bored with their debut song, but now I can’t get enough of it. These girls have stage presence and pull off a good performance when they try, but sometimes I feel like they’re overworked and it shows. Although I really don’t know what they do to make them so tired. Again, these girls are quite likeable and I thought that they may be the most well rounded this year. But then they come out with their third track and then announced solo projects for JiYoon and HyunAjumma and then…. I got disinterested again.
Still, I look forward to their next group album and wish these younguns get some good music going for them next time round.
Secret
I wish they were kept a secret in the first place. Oh dear God, why did the cheesy 90s crawl out from behind us and take a bite? Their stages are tacky and cheesy, their song is tacky and cheesy, their Music Video was tacky and cheesy, the only thing I give them credit for is the running theme. Please, Please give them better music, choreography, everything!
After School
I was actually quite disappointed that they lost a member, due to the fact that she was the first to stand out to me and it seemed a shame she left. But I guess since AfterSchool is a group that’s meant to have people “graduate”, it was only a matter of time til someone left. Though I did wish it was freaky leader or UEE first.
They got two new members where one can sing and one’s just there to fill a spot in the choreo. I still always look out for these girls when they perform and am anxious to hear their new sound. I’m not a big fan of “Because of You” but it is catchy. Nevertheless, nowadays they look like a female version of 2PM and remind me of a combo of “Again and Again” and “I hate You” promotions, and it doesn’t help that they’ve upped the member tally to 7 as well. I just wish there was less GaHee, more JungAh and Bekha and no UEE. Ah well, one can dream and mentally block out. 
H.A.M
With that name it seems like their own company thinks they’re hopeless. I have seen a few performances though and I do think that vocally they probably can out-sing most of the noobs out there. They just need better clothes, music, cheoreography and a name. I know it stands for “Heart and Mind”, but the first thing anyone is bound to think of is our oinky little friends. Also having that name when Swine flu is rampant…not a good idea.

No words, no words at all.
