This summer, KPOP Queens came BACK and made a πŸ…±πŸ…ΎπŸ…ΎπŸ…Ό !

 

Did you know that August was the hot season for Kpop idols this year? 


KPOP is a form of popular music originating in South Korea which includes all genres from around the world. 


I didn't realise that Kpop is popular around the whole world when I was a high school student. At some point, Kpop idols suddenly have made a BOOM. 

Literally πŸ…±πŸ…ΎπŸ…ΎπŸ…Ό


Actually, Kpop has a long long history than it is usually considered. 



From Seo Taiji in 1992,


BOA who is still performing on stage,


TVXQ who started a new generation of k-pop culture,


Girl's Generation (SNSD) who made a new girl group's culture,


lots of thrid-generation idols, 


to new Idols, 

Kpop has been improved and spread out all over the world. The current spread of K-pop and Korean entertainment is seen not only in Asia but also in the Western world. 

The legends of K-pop Idols came back this summer. 


Girl's Generation 

Among the numerous K-pop idols, π™‚π™žπ™§π™‘'𝙨 π™‚π™šπ™£π™šπ™§π™–π™©π™žπ™€π™£ is one of the early girl groups that set a global foothold. They have performed since 2007, and came back this August!

Girls' Generation - GG is a long-run girl group that has been performing on stage for 15 years. They opened girl groups' π™œπ™šπ™£π™šπ™§π™–π™©π™žπ™€π™£ literally. It was the beginning of K-girl groups' heyday.

GG debuted on August 2007 and rose to fame in 2009, with the single album GEE, which claimed the top spot in Korean music rank for record-breaking nine consecutive weeks. 


In 2014, after member Jessica announced that she had been dismissed from the group, GG continued to promote as an eight-member group thereafter. The remaining group members proceeded with the activities. 

However, after releasing their 6th album, 3 members left their original entertainment. They still have been Girl's Generation, but all members primarily focused on their solo careers.  


In August 2022, Girl's Generation finally came back! Ending five-year hiatus, Girl's Generation came back as a full group. It was the seventh Korean-language studio album, which was released digitally on August 5. 


Girl's Generation is still thriving. They debuted in 2007, but still performing on stage now as well, and have their own careers. GG became the first girl group to achieve four music videos with over 100 million views on Youtube and Billboard reported that Girl's Generation was the top touring K-pop girl group. 

Blackpink 

Another legend, π‘©π’π’‚π’„π’Œπ’‘π’Šπ’π’Œ also came back this summer~autumn. 

I think I don't have to explain who Black pink is, but I'll leave the information for those who don't know Blackpink yet. Black pink is a Korean girl group, consisting of members Jisoo, Jennie, RosΓ©, and Lisa. They debuted in 2016 and are one of the most successful Korean Idol groups internationally. 


Black pink's 2nd single "Shut Down" was released in September, and it LAUNCHES at No.1 on Billboard Global Charts! They blast onto both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.s. charts. Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating an official-only streaming service. How great! 


K-pop stars are doing Brand Ambassador as well, and it is not a surprise that Black Pink members have ambassadorships with the most famous and luxurious brands. Each member was tapped as the ambassador of a major luxury brand. Jennie for Chanel, RosΓ© for Saint Laurent, Jisoo for Burberry, and Lisa for Celine. 


But Jisoo, who is an ambassador of Burberry, is also an ambassador of Dior. Especially Pietro Beccari, CEO of Christian Dior Couture, said that he plans to continue and expand cooperation with Jisoo. 

He said like this: Jisoo is an amazingly wonderful person,” he added, “Even though she is a top star, she is very humble. She is also very intelligent. We talked a number of times when she came to France to attend the shows, and she always makes people around happy. She is a person who respects and cares about people, which is a really important quality.”


And as everyone knows, Coco Chanel, who is the founder of the brand CHANEL, filled her salons with European high society. 


But there is a guest who stood out from the rest, Jennie. She has been a Chanel ambassador since 2017. She is constantly praised for her sense of style and was nicknamed the Human Chanel. 

So it was the HOT season literally where queens were coming back again. 

I'm so pleased that K-culture has made booms all over the world.😊



Best,
NANA
