SM Ent. to debut a new 7-member girl group “TOUCHS”
As rumored, the seven girls are debuting with a digital single this June. The members include four girls from Korea, and the remaining three are said to be from Japan, China and Singapore. Members are: Stella, 張夏珍、尹薰晶、裴熹彬、金藝珍、and Joene.
Some of you probably recognize Stella Kim who was rumored to be Siwon’s (SUJU) ex-girlfriend and the best friend of Jessica H.O. and Tiffany (SNSD).
Wow, Papa SM is really getting greedy these past years. A new group as debuted every year since DBSK came out and this year it’s two! SHINee I’ve heard is already becoming quite popular, and here comes yet another girl group! Rather than grouping these girls with SNSD he’s decided to debut them separately. No doubt that they’re going to be compared to SNSD even if there is an imbalance of members (which makes me think about what would happen if one girl from SNSD were to debut with TOUCHS so that both groups would have an even number of girls!) Fanboys, this is your year to shine!
Even though I feel that all new artists deserve a chance at reaching stardom, I wish that SM would have debuted them later on to at least give the H7 Beauties | The B a chance since it’s pretty obvious that those girls have some awesome vocal talent. Now they’re probably be put up against TOUCHS or be shadowed by them. Who knows what kind of skills the TOUCHS girls hold but I wouldn’t be surprised if the debut the same way that SNSD did. I just hope that these girls can do more than look pretty and sing to cutesy pop songs. I can already predict that he plans to market these girls outside of Korea (reason for putting in three non-Korean girls in the group to appeal to other countries.) With all these large music groups coming out from SM, I’m wondering exactly what the selection process is in order to become a trainee.
SM keeps popping out new groups like crazy. And they all seem the same to me O.o
I’m pretty annoyed. SM seems selfish to introduce a new group. If they turn out exactly like SNSD did, I’d be angry.
No offence, but SNSD had a long debut time and got into a lot of trouble with the media and press; but they still have the “cute and innocent” image about them even though they’re anything but.
With TOUCHS, SM needs to give The B and H7 Beauties a chance for limelight. Although a lot of the great groups come from SM, after SNSD’s debut, I just see them going downhill.
great…. you can see the joy in me. >.<
oh boy.
if they are like SNSD,
i think ima go to S. Korea myself,
and knock some sense into MR. SM.
I think it’s awesome. I don’t know why all of you are hating. SM knows what he’s doing and all of you know that. He knows that SNSD has already celebrated their first year anniversary and that if ‘The B’ does debut then that snsd and The B wouldn’t even be in the same running. You can’t really compete with someone whos had a whole year longer then you of experience. I’m sure TOUCHS’S concept is going to be a the least a tad different. But he’s done his research and hes going to match The B’s or anyone else’s styles that’s going to debut soon. This is something different that he is adding as well. Of course there is HanKyul in Suju but he’s adding 3 non-Koreans in the group. It realllllyyy isn’t going to harm you if their concept is similar to SNSD. Just hold yourself back and don’t watch it. Really, it’s not that hard. I support SM all the way, because he’s a genius.
If you don’t like my article and my opinions, don’t read it. Really, it’s not that hard.
That’s SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I already hate Stella for being Siwon’s ex. Don’t worry! I’ll never be Touchs fan. SNSD is so much better. WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
