As most of you should know by most of my articles, I love K-pop and would love to teach as many people as I can about K-pop. A few months ago I wrote an article about 10 K-pop groups to know about; most of those groups, however, were pretty top rated and are considered high idols in the K-pop entertainment. Each year, record labels debut new rookie groups and try to prove that they deserve a spot in the limelight of idol life. So here is a list of 5 rookie groups you should definitely check out! Stan them as quickly as you can and maybe even pick your bias, I know I have ;)
1. SF9
They debuted in October of 2016 und FNC entertainment. SF( consists of 9 members; Youngbin (the leader), Inseong, Jaeyoon, Dawon, Zuho, Rowoon, Taeyang, Hwiyoung, and Chani. They are very silly and excellent performers. My bias in this group is Hwiyoung, his smile and laugh just brings me joy.
2. Astro
These adorable boys debuted as Astro in February 2016. Sure they are not the sexy boy band or have that bad boy feel to them, but they have that cute, innocent and quirky vibe to them and their music. In Astro there are 6 members; Jinjin ( leader), MJ, Cha Eunwoo, Moonbin, Rocky, and baby Sanha. Personally, whenever Cha Eunwoo smiles, I smile and when he laughs, I laugh.
3. Bigflo
Technically, Bigflo isn't a rookie group, considering they originally debuted in 2014, but recently in 2017 two members left and three more were added. So now the group consists of 7 members: Jungkyun, Euijin, Sungmin, Lex, Ron, Yuseong, and Hightop. My bias is Hightop because if you watch their episode on Immigration, he is hilarious and is a great rapper. I also have a special place for Maknaes, aka the baby of groups.
4. KNK
So let me tell you about KNK, aka (hehe see what I did there? I know I'm lame) my precious babies. They are tall and handsome enough to all be models, especially Seungjun am I right?! But back to business, they debuted in February of 2016. Currently, three of the members are participating on a survival show called, "MIXNINE." The group consists of 5 members; Jihun (leader), Youjin (also known as the love of my life), Seungjun, Inseong, and Heejun.
5. Pentagon
OK SO I HAD TO SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST. These boys are my bias group, like they beat out BTS, GOT7, Big Bang and all the other groups I love. My boys debuted on October 10th, 2016. They all participated on a tv survival show called "Pentagon Maker", in the end they eliminated SHinwon, but brought him back because Pentagon wouldn't be complete without Shinwon (I lost my shit let me tell you). The group consists of 10 members. I know it's a lot, but trust me it's worth it. My babies names are Hui (crazy leader), Jinho (angelic vocals), Hongseok (sexy athlete) E'Dawn (lead rapper and highest screams I've ever heard), Shinwon ( broad shoulders to make him a model), Yeo One ( he can kill you with looks during an MV it's hard to get through it sometimes), Yanan (the cutest Chinese boy ever alive), Yuto (the sexiest Japanese rapper ever created), Kino (best dancer around and serves a lot of looks just as much as Yeo One), and finally the Maknae, my ultimate bias, Wooseok, the giant Maknae (even though hes 20, he's 6'2 and has a very deep voice which makes him a beautiful rapper). STAN PENTAGON.
Stan all these groups because they are so underrated and yet so talented. I hope you either start your K-pop journey or continue it by learning and watching these groups and many many more. Stay beautiful my readers!
