Solo artists vs Groups

Last week or so, Korea's famous pop star Rain and Lee Hyo Ri made a successful come-back. Even though they were successful, it was only the first week, so people got curious. Will they be able to receive more love than those group artists?

For an example, a group named B2ST is on a roll right now. Though it wasn't a long time since their debut, they have been able to make a successful career up to now and they are starting to gain more fame and maybe they will be able to win other groups that has debuted a long time before them.

Sure, Rain and Lee Hyo Ri is really known well and is known as 'successful' in Korea. If you take Rain's case, people say he is a world wide star, but I'm not sure about that ^^;. Anyway, he has been loved by a lot of people not only Asia but also America. He was also the main character in the movie, Ninja Assassin. Though that movie wasn't a big hit nor very famous, Koreans were proud of him because that was a movie took in Hollywood!

Like this, Rain was very successful and Lee Hyo Ri, who was the leader of an old pop group, Pinkles is also very successful. She has been very well known due to her cool and tough personality that helped her to be a very good entertainer and she was able to know a lot of other celebrities. Maybe this was the reason she was able to make famous celebrities help her promote her song and make them to sing a featuring in her songs.

Her new song is a bit different from her other songs because her other songs were all very 'dancy', bouncy, and thrilling. On the other hand, her new song Rocking Chair or Swing (Geu-Nae) is in a very different genre. Instead of its thrilling taste, it's in between dance style music and ballad. I'll leave it to your imaginations.

I personally wish that these two singers will be very successful being much more successful than other groups' new songs. For an example, After school's new song, Bang is very bouncy and it is kept in people's head. Though Lee Hyo Ri nor Rain's new songs are not like this, it has the need to be well known to other people as well because it has been a really long time since their "come back" on air.

Unlike the singers who come out on music programs, they will be part of the very few singers that come out alone without anyone else. Though Rain was alone since his debut, as said before, Lee Hyo Ri was part of the most famous girl K-pop groups in the 1900s. Thus, it may not have been a smooth road to her, she has been very successful and I cheer for her to let people think that she has a lot of capabilities in other areas too.

Take over the market Hyo Ri and Rain!
