Whatever happened to...
For people who haven't noticed, remember the kpop boybands that debuted last year or '07, and some how dissappeared? I feel sorry for these groups, but I do have to say some of the groups did FAIL to catch attention, and thats the reason they're lost in the midst of the industry.
Well after digging up some news about the un-noticed boybands that debuted last year, heres what happened/happening.
SMASH
After their debut of 'Emergency', the 6-member group came up with 'Never Ending Story'. After that... they were on hiatus? People who are major fans of this group probably knew they released a Christmas song (I guess no one knew the existence of that, I found out on those dedicated fan forums). Recently, they.. uh.. not sure, they somewhat have made no comeback whatsoever, and so they are considered to be one of those failed groups (sorry SMASH fans)
XING [OPERA]?
CRED: aoiare
After being noticed as XING a 4 member group in the early '06-'07 . They are now existing till now as XING OPERA after the original members left and the company started rotating new members into the group. They finally made their debut perfomance even though they existed till '07; bit late eh? Their recent album Memorize features the 8 members vocal powers. I gotta say they're quite good, but is it me or do they look like vampires and that member 'White' looks so much like Brian from FTTS? Let's look forward to more of their performances, unless they dissappear like SMASH.
A'ST1
Yes, remember the challenge scroll they promoted abut 'challenging' Super Junior? Made up of world-lingo members ranging from Japan, China and Korea? To be honest I haven't heard about their recent activities, but they have being working their vocals off at Japan. Their first showcase was at Japan as well as more camera time at Japan promoting their recent releases and all. When they first debuted; to be honest they weren't as great hit as what you call 'Super Junior disciples", they sky-rocketed because of that promotion clip (thanks to ELFs), but after clearing that situation should I say they fell back down?
Catch their recent interviews on youtube, i'm not bothered wasting my time posting clips up about this group.
DNT
Dragon N Tiger. They debuted as a fresh new 4 member boy band but with the uniqueness mixing ballad and dance? The Dragon part of the group will dance and the Tiger are in charge of ballad vocals. These two yin and yangs come together to form the Dragon N Tiger (DNT). Yes a weird group indeed, but they are one of the those groups that are overlooked upon. I was deeply interested with them once I heard their debut song 'Two people and Afterwards" too bad no one else was interested. But they are active in the kpop industry performing their news song "I have a lover" and all. To be honest this group was one of the those decent groups that leave a good impression, but some people didnt have taste I guess.
(Note: there are many more boy groups that went 'poof', but I'm not bothered to mention them)
