News and Information on Asian Music

The local pop scene is sizzling with an array of girl groups, both old and new, and the competition is expected to heat up with each band presenting distinctive sounds, fashion and personalities.
Reigning Groups
Girls’ Generation and the Wonder Girls have been the top girl groups for the past two years, but now their thrones are starting to look a bit shaky as new groups loaded with new tricks have appeared.
The nine-member Girls’ Generation, of SM Entertainment, released their new album “Genie” in June, donning a marine and military style for their new look. They have been topping charts on Internet music Web sites and music programs aired on television.

The “Female Big Bang,” 2NE1, rose to stardom Friday by coming out on top at the “Music Bank” on KBS-TV.
The girl band took first place with “I don’t care,” the flagship song of its first mini-album, beating Girls’ Generation and Lee Seung-gi.
People’s enthusiasm with the four-member group proved strong as it shot to top only one week after appearing at the KBS music program.
