More on the Korean Bands

Girl’s Day

One of the most sought-after Korean girl groups right now, Girl’s Day burst onto the scene in 2011 with their hit single Twinkle Twinkle and their spicy but mostly sweet image. After a slew of hits like Expectation, Female President and Something, the four-member girl band went on hiatus and returned this year with a new mini-album Everyday 4. Sojin, Minah, Yura and Hyeri have adopted a brighter, livelier look and sound, and their comeback track Darling went straight to number 1 on major Korean music charts.

B1A4

Formed in 2011, B1A4 were first introduced to the world through webtoons featuring members Jinyoung, Sandeul, Baro, CNU and Gongchan as characters. Cute, colourful and funky, B1A4 made their debut soon after with the track O.K off their first EP Let’s Fly the first of many upbeat electropop tracks that make up their musical repertoire. They recently released their 5th mini album with Solo Day as the title track, and are slated to embark on their US ‘Road Trip’ concert tour in October.
