On September 27, the Korean girl group MAMAMOO released its first trailer to return in October! It is reported that MAMAMOO will release their 12th mini album "MIC ON" at 6 pm Korean time on October 11. As soon as the news was released, it caused heated discussion. During the editor's statistics cycle, "MAMAMOO will be ranked 13th on Sina Weibo hot search list and 7th on Sina Entertainment List. Many netizens expressed their deep expectations for the group members and new songs
MAMAMOO is a female singing group launched by Rainbowbridge World in 2014. It consists of four members: Jin Rongxian (Solar/Songle), Wenxing Yi (Moon Byul/ Wenxing ), Ding Huiren (Whee In/Huiren), and Ah Huizhen (Hwa Sa/Huasha). Although Huiren decided not to renew his contract with the agency RBW last year, the group contract will be extended to 2023. This undoubtedly gave fans a shot of heart-warming agent, which made many fans who were worried that MAMAMOO would disband temporarily relax.
In fact, in recent years, not only has the news of "MAMAMOO disbandment" been circulating, but the pessimistic predictions about "the fourth generation girl group will come to an end" are also very buzzing. Because except for MAMAMOO, the other four generations of girl groups have also fallen into the situation of unknown contract renewal and long performance gaps, which has made people doubt the future of the four generations of girl groups. However, the recent return of BLACKPINK, MAMAMOO and other combinations has rekindled the enthusiasm of fans. The fourth generation of girl groups are still active, and our youth is still there!
sighs that the era of the four generations of Korean girl groups has not yet ended
There is a saying about the four generations of girl groups "Five Heavenly Kings, Two Guardians, and Seven Fairies". The MAMAMOO combination is one of the "five kings", and the other four "king kings" are TWICE, BLACKPINK, RedVelvet and GFRIEND. The "Two Guardians" are the cosmic girl and IOI, while the "Seven Fairies" are lovelyz, OH MY GIRL, April, CLCh, Dia, Laboum, and sonamoo.
In the "Seven Fairies", except for Dia and Laboum, the other fairies may have disbanded, terminated and withdrawn from the group, and even went bankrupt by the company behind them, so it is difficult to get a complete body; among the "Five Heavenly Kings", GFRIEND decided not to renew the contract and disband directly when the contract expires, and MAMAMOO and BLACKPINK also reduced the frequency of the merging.
But the recent good news for the combination is constantly going on:
Twice announced the completion of the renewal of the contract
TWICE is a girl group composed of South Korea, Japan and Taiwan members, and enjoys super high popularity all over the world. In the past period of time, whether all employees can renew their contracts has attracted the attention of the public. In 2022, on the occasion of its 7th anniversary of its debut, JYP Entertainment issued a statement saying that "all TWICE employees successfully renewed their contracts", which made fans excited. At the same time, TWICE recently devoted herself to the tour and Japan's return in July, soothing the anticipated hearts of fans with practical actions.
BLACKPINK reunited again
Before July, the top-tier group BLACKPINK had "disappeared" for nearly two years, and many netizens speculated that the group might fall apart. In addition, the news of the contract renewal has not been released, and pessimism has enveloped the fan base. Although the contract renewal of
has not yet been reached, in July this year, BLACKPINK held the second phase of the collaboration with "PUBG MOBILE: PUBG Battlegrounds M" and held the first online virtual concert, "The Virtual", with four members singing special songs and MVs in 3D virtual images; the concert will be held in North and South America from July 22 to 23 and July 29 to 30 in other regions, as well as from July 23 to 24 and 30 to 31. This is the group's full lineup return after 1 year and 10 months. This virtual concert is also a warm-up for their return and world tour in the second half of the year.
reappears on stage and reunites, which is the greatest comfort for fans!
Red Velevt Development Stable Development
Red Velvet Development is relatively stable, and it just returned in March this year. The first mini album "The ReVe Festival 2022-Feel My Rhythm" was released and a press conference was held. At the press conference, Joy revealed that Red Velvet has many event plans to return to the music scene this year, so it is not only spring, but also hopes that Red Velvet will become the queen of all seasons.
In addition to the king of heaven, the universe girl and IOI are still active on the stage. It’s too early to end the fourth generation of girl groups! Moreover, the top three girls currently occupy the top three girls’ status are all four generations, and we will not believe the end of the four generations.
competition, the five generations of girl groups are blooming but still living in the shadow of the four generations
Korean wave combination is innovating, and only loves to divide it by generations. Now, Korean girl groups have unknowingly entered the "fifth generation". The five generations of girl groups are blooming. The most popular "monster newcomers" launched by Korean entertainment giants SM and JYP, such as Aespa and ITZY, and the rising entertainment companies Cube and RBW have emerged, and the competition among girls is fierce.
aespa is the best among many fifth-generation girl groups. Following Red Velvet in 2014, SM Entertainment innovatively integrates the unique worldview concept of virtual and reality, and took 6 years to launch the girl group Aespa. The girl group consists of four real people and their respective virtual members, namely Karina, Winter, Ning Ning and Giselle.
girl group debuted in November 2020 with the single "Black Mamba". Their MV received over 100 million hits in a short time. They are also the holder of the fastest record of K-pop's debut MV, becoming the strongest monster newcomer of the year. In addition, aespa is highly favored by fashion brands and was once called BLACKPINK's strongest rival.
However, despite the rising stars coming, their influence still failed to surpass the four generations of girl groups. According to the data on the " girl group brand value" by the Korean Enterprise Evaluation Institute (March 2022), BLACKPINK still ranks first, and the groups TWICE, Red Velve and OH MY GIRL are also in the top ten. The fourth generation girl group is still the main force in the brand evaluation list! The representative of the Five Generation Girls Group is only ranked seventh, STAYC is eighth and IVY is tenth.
Conclusion
Editor believes that if the fifth generation girl group wants to surpass the fourth generation girl group to reach the top, it needs to surpass it in all aspects in the fields of audio source, album sales, and popularity at home and abroad. However, judging from the current situation, there is only a possibility of Aespa. The fourth generation of girl groups are still the king of the moment. But it is undeniable that the strong will end. Although BLACKPINK and MAMAMOO have returned one after another and TWICE has completed a new round of signing, leaving is an inevitable ending and disbanding is only a matter of time. So let us cherish every performance!
