*shakes fist* Making me do all the hard work. But to be honest. I love this group so that's the only reason I'm doing it. xD

 

 

Crayon Pop was originally named Hurricane Pop with members Serang (Yang Se-hyeon), Geummi (Baek Bo-ram), Ellin (Kim Min-young), Choa (Heo Min-jin), and Soyul (Park Hye-kyeong). Chrome Entertainment's CEO, Hwang Hyun Chang, did not consider candidates who were taller than 165 cm or had a sexy image, because he wanted a group of ordinary girls. As Hurricane Pop, the group recorded "Bing Bing". A music video for "Bing Bing" was filmed in February, but in April, Serang left the group in order to pursue an acting career. After Serang's left, Choa's twin sister Way (Heo Min-seon), joined the group. Shortly before their major debut, the group's name was changed to Crayon Pop because Chrome Entertainment thought the name Hurricane Pop would be insensitive in light of Japan's tsunamis. The girls' stage names were chosen by the company's CEO, although a few of the members had input into the choice.

It's not like I've wanted to make this thread for two years now, but always was too lazy!

I REALLY fucking love Crayon Pop.

[Shoujo Q]

Opps I just realized I forgot my intro. xD 

 

We have a mutual love of Crayon Pop Ap! 

[Ap2000]

Finally a place where I can dump all of the Crayon Pop videos I come across.


S-S-Soyul...
https://www.youtube....h?v=4bm2azJQaSs

I always knew she was lewd.

[Derby]

Oh she knows how to dance A! Maybe I already have a favorite member AKA BIAS

[Ap2000]

They're getting a Japanese Single called Ra Ri Ru Re:

http://www.asianjunk...th-ra-ri-ru-re/

[Derby]

Didn't they have an exclusive member for Japan? There are only 5 in those pictures.... and helmets.....

[Shoujo Q]

I wonder if they use her just for translation purposes? Just speculating, but I can't find anything new on her.

[Zaeleus]

The official music video for "RaRiRuRe" is up.

[Ap2000]

The official music video for "RaRiRuRe" is up.

 

Can't say much about the video, since I'm sitting on my netbook screen, but the song is quite a step down after FM, which instantly became one of my favourite K-pop songs of all time.

[Saya]

It's kind of boring... Hmmm....

 

I've been listening to Crayon Pop nonstop lately (mainly the OK mini album), and most of their songs I really like, but then there are those ones I just can't get into. This feels like one of those songs. Plus the PV is too plain. It's like they had less budget than H!P.

[Ap2000]

A new Japanese single, "Dancing All Night":
https://www.youtube....h?v=buTYWQ3L9bM

Maybe they tricked me, but I really love single-shot things.

Uploaded today to their youtube page. The dance is cute but I expect nothing less from Crayon Pop.

[Shoujo Q]

Crayon Pop released their first Korean studio album today, Evolution Pop Vol.1. (It's on Apple Music if you want to listen to it.)

They helped in marketing it, creating the music video and basically producing it. They went for a retro 70s theme it looks like. 

 

Here is the released music video for DooDoomChit.

 

Here is the tracklist. (Here's the teaser.)

1. Vroom Vroom
2. Too Much
3. Doo Doom Chit
4. Boogie Woogie
5. Tonight
6. Get It Here
7. Sketch Book
8. Love Couple (ft. The Zoo)

 

[Ap2000]

I think neither Vroom Vroom nor Doo Doom Chit are anything but mediocre.

But I really like the MV for DDC. And the girls in the outfits... HNNGGGG-

[Ap2000]

Crayon Pop has been performing with only four members for the past month because Soyul was diagnosed with anxiety disorder:

http://www.koreatime...201_215311.html

 

I hope she can overcome it, because I love Soyul and she seems like a great girl.

[Derby]

Soyul's getting married to singer and ex-H.O.T member Moon Heejun. Ap    

They are like 13 years apart

[Ap2000]

What the fuuuuck. lol

I think nobody saw that coming.

 

I hope that this was the reason for her anxiety problems and now she can relax.

That guy better treat her well!

 

"They also relayed that it was a decision the couple made together after almost 8 months of dating since April this year."

http://www.soompi.co...ces-engagement/

 

What is it with idols and getting married after knowing a person for such a short time?

It's so damn stupid every single time I hear that. It's like every idol is an Aibon.

And if they get married because the girl's pregnant, well then you're double-stupid for not being able to prevent responsibly.

[Anderei]

It's really not common in Korea, where dating seems to be more similar to what we see in the west. There's only two modern active idosl I can think of who is married, from SuJu and U-Kiss. The SuJu guy got a lot of shit from fans. And Eli from U-Kiss hid his marriage for a year and had dated the woman for about five years beforehand (his was better received than the SuJu guys).

 

She released a statement saying she's not getting married due to extenuating circumstances (aka pregnancy) and that she's not retiring. Although if backlash is hard enough it's not like she'll have a spot to return to anyway. But Crayon Pop are basically one hit wonders in Korea so the backlash might not be as hard as it would be if they were a top tier group.

[Ap2000]

It seems Crayon Pop may be history soon, since their contracts end next month and no official word of a renewal yet:
https://crayonpop.me...nding-in-march/

[Anderei]

Kpop companies usually don't speak much about renewals until the contracts are basically expired. It's nothing to worry about yet since their company is small and will probably fight to keep them.

[Anderei]

What the fuuuuck. lol

lmao she's having a baby. THIS MONTH.

Ellin has been (gloriously) shaking her boobs and ass on AfreecaTV for a few months now and apparently made 180k $ from it already:

[Anderei]

Hopefully she does something smart with it. Can’t see it being that profitable long term.

[JPope]

It depends on how charismatic she is. If she has something besides just T&A to hold an audience, she might be able to make it a longer-term venture. A lot of random people make really good money with video/streaming channels.

I don't know about her streams, since she only streams in Korean, but she was always entertaining on Crayon Pop TV. Judging by the clips I saw, it's mostly just talking with the chat and dancing.

[Shoujo Q]

We all know what the Kpop world is like, but it's good to hear someone who lived it to actually talk about it. I love kpop music, but I hate their practices. I'm sure the big companies are better at handling their talent, but the smaller ones, it's dicey.

 

I do miss Crayon Pop though, one of my favorite groups besides T-ara. 

[JPope]

How the hell do you owe money after an North American tour opening for Lady Gaga? "Since you couldn't do any events while you were there, you owe us money." Bitch, opening for Gaga were the events.

[Farrah]

I'm sure the big companies are better at handling their talent

Given SM's endless history of getting sued by their artists, YG currently being embroiled in one of the biggest sex trafficking, drug and sexual assault scandals in Korean entertainment history and JYP being connected to a cult... I don't know about that lol.  It's pretty much a crap shoot either way!
