By Lim Jeong-yeo
Established K-pop boy groups from all three major South Korean entertainment agencies are coming back in a succession, creating a scene much like that of the Age of the Warring States.
Big Bang (YG Entertainment) |
A little over two weeks since its release, the group's comeback song “Loser” surpassed 21 million views on YouTube, in commemoration of which YG Entertainment unveiled a special extra clip of group member Daesung Tuesday, to thank the fans.
Big Bang is slated to release another single “A” on June 1, as part of its four-album project titled “MADE.”
SHINee (SM Entertainment) |
Also a quintet, the group released a music video for its lead title, “View,” on the day of its album launch and received 1.4 million views within three days.
2PM (JYP Entertainment) |
