We Might Lose a K-Pop Feminist Icon
K-Pop Wikia

This is Miss A.

As you can see, Miss A is a Korean Pop girl group include current members Fei, Min, and Suzy. They had a fourth member, Jia, but she left the group last year after not renewing her contract with her and Miss A's company, JYP Entertainment. Miss A has been active in music until 2016 when they made their last comeback as a foursome with their single "Only You" from their album Colors. Since then, many fans question (and wish it won't come true) if they will break up once their contracts expires by the end of this month. Despite this, Miss A was one of the girl groups who were closest to be preach feminism (or some cases girl power) in their music. Since their debut, Miss A released great music on standing up for yourself as a woman whether its in a relationship or anyone who calls a woman a "slut." While, yes, all of their songs were mostly written by men like their boss Jin-Young Park, Miss A still have great songs on being a strong woman.

I mean, who could forget the classics like "Bad Girl, Good Girl."


"On the outside, I’m a Bad Girl.

On the inside, I’m a Good Girl.

You don’t even know me well, you only look at me from the outside.

I find your gaze to be funny because you see me as a pitiful girl."

Or maybe songs that are rare to find like "I Don't Need a Man"


Boy don’t say

“I’ll take care of you, I’ll cherish you” no no

Boy don’t play

If you’re not gonna come with a serious mind

I can live well without a man

So if you’re not confident,

Don’t come to me

I don’t sell myself

Easily because

I don’t need a man I don’t need a man

Or how about their best revenge song in a break-up smash hit, "Good-bye Baby"?


There will be no whining

sound from you anymore

The snake passed the wall

and gently betrayed me

It was quite an amazing show that I watched,

even without buying a ticket

I just didn’t get this spot for free,

no. Now it’s bye bye

Or their sensual song, "Hush?"


"Stop stealing glances at me, I already caught you

Stop smiling and turn around

You’re tastier than a lollipop

I want to bite you, I want you"

So if Miss A do decide to breakup, they will join fellow K-Pop girls groups such as 4minute, Kara, Rainbow, and 2NE1 who also grace women empowerment as the next disbanded K-Pop girl group. No matter what happens, Miss A's music will live on along with their powerful message of feeling like a strong woman.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
