I wanna get into K-Pop.

I have a question though. How do those big groups with like 9+ members work? Is it like one or two main people and the other are like background people?

No, most of them aren't The Pussycat Dolls-ish group. Actually, every member sings a part of the song. There are lead singers (that usually sing more verses) and lead dancers (that usually do the hardest part of the choreography).
See Girls' Generation:
Taeyeon, Jessica, Tiffany, Sunny and SeoHyun are the lead singers. Usually Taeyeon and Jessica sing more than the others and they do the ad-lib.
Yoona, Yuri and Sooyoung. They have a few lines on a song. Normally, they don't sing as much as the lead singers.
Hyoyeon, she usually sing just one verse, but she's the lead dancer.

Meet the newest girl group from Pledis Ent.: Hello Venus

After School‘s sister group, Hello Venus, has been revealed!

On April 17th, Pledis Entertainment updated its homepage with its new group, Hello Venus. After revealing its boy rookie group, NU’EST, in March, Hello Venus is the second rookie group to be unveiled by the agency this year.

The six members consist of Yoo Ara, Nara, Alice, Ra Im, Yoonjo, Yooyoung. With the name of Hello Venus, the group possesses the lively and friendly feeling of “Hello”, and beauty, which grants them the “Venus” name.

With a fan base growing already for Yoo Ara and Yoonjo since their trainee days, Nara receiving praise for her model pose, Alice boasting exotic visuals and a unique voice, Ra Im showing off powerful rap, and the ’95 maknae Yooyoung showing a cute image with her eye smile, the group is colorful with its unique members.

Pledis Entertainment stated, “Hello Venus will depart from the classical image as the female god Venus, as they will greet the public with their friendly appearance as the new 21st century Venus.”

Hello Venus will make its official debut in May and is in the midst of filming the music video and participating in photoshoots.

Love them already! :lol:

I have a feeling they'll be really great and - along with Spica - will become the best new group of the year! Love their look.

Every member has their own role.

Like in Girls' Generation.

Taeyeon and Jessica are the main vocalists. Seohyun, Tiffany and Sunny are lead vocalists.

Hyoyeon and Yuri are the main dancers. Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyun are lead dancers.

In addition, Yoona is the visual of the group.

And because they are many, when they do tours, their agency let each member showcase their talents individually.

MV Teaser

SunnyHill always slay! Can't wait for the full MV!
lol @ that Asian Prince.. :lol:

soo creepy.

by **crazycool** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 11:50 am

...new Sunny Hill single is out.

As much as I applaud them for being really unique, it's starting to become samey and a bit of a non-event. I have no doubt that their music video will be incredible - but the song is such a let down. Hope it'll grow on me.

I really like this one.

I'm getting Transformers meets Energizer Bunny meets Terminator vibes...

Hello Venus = gonna be one of the best girl groups this year, I think.

U-Kiss DORADORA MV = love it. Their mini album is awesome.

B.A.P. = mini has just been released. It's good, but their title track is just a WARRIOR rip off. "What The Hell" is a Linkin Park-esque track, and I love that.
