Article: Top Girl Group Rankings Based on Fan Club Membership – 2NE1 at #3

Which girl group has the most fan club members?

Recently, a ranking of the most popular girl groups was conducted using the total numbers of fan café members according to Internet portal site “Daum.” The group which came out on top was none other than SM Entertainment’s Girls’ Generation. Girls’ Generation had a whopping number of 284,600 members in their official fan café.

Girls’ Generation and the Wonder Girls have been in polite competition all year. Thus it would come as no surprise to fans that second place was awarded to the Wonder Girls. The Wonder Girls have demonstrated, like Girls’ Generation, that they are one of the ultimate girl groups in South Korea with close to 100,000 members. It is particularly impressive since the Wonder Girls’ activities have been concentrated on the United States and China as of late.

Third place was crowned to the ladies of 2NE1. 2NE1 was similar to the Wonder Girls in the case that their fan café had 90,000 or so members. Considering the fact that 2NE1 debuted in late 2009 their fan base has grown close to 100,000 people in over the span of three short years. Compared to say Girls’ Generation and the Wonder Girls who made their debut back in 2007.

Next was f(x) who took fourth place with 60,500 fans, fifth belonged to KARA with 50,300 members, Brown Eyed Girls ranked in sixth place with a total of 40,200 fans. Both 4minute and miss A were tied for seventh place with 30,200 members.

Most noticeable among the top 10 were the youngest girl group A Pink.  Even though A Pink has been around for just a little over a year the girls still were able to pull in impressive numbers for their fan café. The total members of A Pink’s café were close to 30,000. They were able to gather fans the fastest and thus deserve particular attention. A Pink’s recently released comeback album has led to an apparent rise in popularity.

T-ara was excluded from the fan café ranking due to an error. But under normal conditions fans can be assured that they would rank very high on the list. Lastly, After School rounded out the top ten ranking in at the tenth spot with 20,000 members.

Article: 2NE1, BigBang, Wonder Girls, BEAST, and T-ara Plan to Make a Comeback During the Summer

Are you guys excited for this June/July? ^_^ Just look at the groups coming back! Wow! This will surely be exciting! I’m sure all of us are excited for our girls to come back! 

Be prepared for an exciting summer, because all the big groups are planning on making a comeback during the summer. So far, the big groups include Big BangWonder Girls2NE1BEAST, and T-ara.

Big Bang and Wonder Girls will be both making a comeback on June 3. 2NE1, BEAST, and T-ara are planning on coming back some time during late June and early July.

This news already has caught the attention of all major music companies since these groups usually take the top spot on music charts. These companies are now trying to gain more information on the concept and style of these groups’ new album.

2NE1 is planning on coming back in mid-June. During their last comeback, five songs from their album, “Don’t Cry” (Park Bom’s solo), “Lonely,” “I am the Best,“ “Hate You,” and “Ugly” took the top spots on the music chart right after they were released. Thus, there is a high possiblity that their upcoming comeback is going to give successful results.

BEAST, a group that is now one of the major idol groups in Korea, is planning on making a comeback in late June. One of their hit songs in their last album called, “On Rainy Days,” stayed on the top spot for a long time along with their other dance and ballad songs in the album.

Following BEAST and 2NE1 will be T-ara. T-ara is planning on coming back on July 7. Their last comeback consisted of the release of “Roly Poly” which is the song that was sold the most in 2011. They also released another hit song called, “Lovey Dovey” earlier this year. It has been announced that Jonte Monani, the person who created the choreography of “Single Ladies” by Beyonce, contributed to the making of the choreography of T-ara’s new song called “Day By Day.” In addition, T-ara now has eight members with a recent addition of the eighth member.

A representative from a music company commented, “In early June, Big Bang and Wonder Girls will be making their comebacks. In mid-June, 2NE1 is planning on making their comeback. In late June, BEAST is planning on making their comeback. In early July, T-ara is planning on making a comeback. With all these huge back-to-back comebacks during the summer, it will be definitely harder for the new idol groups to make their comebacks during the summer.”

Article: Lady Gaga’s Stylist Nicola Formichetti is a fan of Big Bang & 2NE1

Oh! Nicola Formichetti said that he might be working with 2NE1 in the future! What do you guys think about that?

There is a man responsible for dressing mega popstar Lady Gaga in her famous meat dress. He has never studied fashion design, but currently in his early 30′s, he has now become the head of a luxury brand. He is none other than French Fashion House MUGLER‘s creative director and Lady Gaga’s stylist, Nicola Formichetti. During a recent interview, Formichetti admitted to being a fan of K-Pop.

Formichetti is half Asian with a Japanese mother and an Italian father. When asked which side he feels closer to, he answered, “I was born in Shizuoka, Japan and grew up in Tokyo. I went to high school in Rome, and lived in London for ten years after that. I felt like an outsider growing up, but I think it’s helped me build an ability to blend different things. I look young for being 35, thanks to my Asian blood (laughs).”

The fashionista also admitted to being a huge fan of Korean pop music. “I am a huge fan of Big Bangand 2NE1. 2NE1 knows how to sing. Just this morning, I listened to 2NE1′s “Scream” and Big Bang’s ‘Fantastic Baby“, he said, revealing the tracks on his iPhone playlist. “This is a secret, but I may be working with 2NE1 in the future. There are a lot of Korean people that I know in Europe. I once did a show with designer Woo Young Mee in Paris a few years back. We had bibimbap (Korean mixed rice meal) together, and the spicy kick was the greatest. If I were ever invited to Seoul’s Fashion Week, I would love to go. I want to work on a new Lady Gaga outfit with Korean designers, and I also want to learn Korean.”
