"I used to be an experiment, whether people like me could join the girl group. I'll make them understand me, I'll work hard, I'll be successful, so successful that they'll have nothing to say." After the broadcast of the variety show "Creation Camp 2021", the first topic of the hot search for mentor Amber (Liu Yiyun) came from this passage she said.
From the beginning of mid-February, when the domestic audience ushered in the season of spring and warm flowers, the stage of the talent show also ushered in the first wave of "spring tide" in 2021. The "crash" style of "Creation Camp 2021" and "Youth with You 3", coupled with the "first step" of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves 2", almost occupy the list of topics in the current variety show.
Amber
In terms of topical popularity, the performance of "Creation Camp 2021" is eye-catching enough: the first use of the "international boy band" form, the gathering of students from different countries. As a result, the level difference between the international and domestic group players, the performance ability of some students to "pull the crotch", the embarrassed but polite expressions of the instructors... They have become hot search breaking points.
"The oil of your two lumps of apple muscle is too big... But you're a little greasy. In the program, in the face of the male students with exquisite makeup and cute mouths, the tutor Serenity could not help but evaluate. Therefore, when Amber, who has a fresh short hair and a full body neutral style, brings a singing and dancing performance, netizens sigh that he is "handsome over all the male students under the stage".
Indeed, as a rare neutral idol in Korean entertainment circles, Amber's existence is particularly special, and the group f(x) to which it belongs is also unique at the time. Therefore, when Amber appeared on the stage of the talent show and won recognition with clean and neat dance moves and horizontal online rap, many fans began to recall the "golden age" of f(x), and also remembered the glory days of the Korean second-generation girl group.

The Korean second-generation girl group of "Fairy Fight"
Pure cute wind, heavy metal wind, sexy wind, electronic music style... Looking back at the style of the popular Korean girl group more than 10 years ago, you can find that it is really "everything", and there is little repetition.
Korean idol groups update and iterate very quickly, and dozens of new idol groups debut every year. According to the year of debut, the domestic fandom divides the Korean group into different generations. According to the standards recognized by most netizens on the Internet, the Korean girl group that debuted from 2007 to 2009 is generally called the "second-generation group".
Wonder Girls
At the peak of the Korean second-generation girl group, it was not the slightest violation to call it "fairy fight". Korean entertainment circles have been popular in the "three big seven males", of which "three" refers to the combination that debuted in 2007: Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, KARA; while "Seven Males" refers to the girl group that debuted in 2009: 2ne1, Rainbow, f(x), T-ara, After School, 4minute, Secret.
Needless to say how brilliant the "Big Three" were back then. In 2008, Wonder Girls released the song "Nobody", which has a bright and concise melody that makes people unforgettable, becoming the first Korean singer to enter the US Billboard list. In 2009, a song "Gee" from Girls' Generation became popular and became one of the "brainwashing divine comedies" at that time. Although the combination KARA does not have many activities in China, it has a high popularity in Korea and Japan.
Girls' Generation
The strength of the "Seven Heroes" is also obvious to all, 2ne1's musical style is unique, and the 4 members are all powerful. Hyunya, a popular member of 4minute, still appears on the hot search list from time to time and is the representative of the sexy goddess. f(x) song style changeable, tried handsome style, playful style, Harajuku style, electric wind and royal sister style, etc., a "Hot Summer" is popular throughout Korea. T-ara, which has entered the Chinese market, covers the Korean version of "Little Apple" from the Chopstick Brothers...
4minute
After 2009, the style of Korean girl groups was mostly sexy, and later, it became popular pure girlish. Although the "sweet and cool" style of girl groups is popular at present, the aesthetics of Korean groups are becoming more and more similar, and the style of music is almost the same.
KARA
True "tears of the times" The glory of the second generation of women's groups is no longer brilliant
On the Internet, fans often use "tears of the times" to lament that something has changed or been buried over time. In the Korean entertainment circle with frequent updates, the second-generation girl group is indeed called "the tears of the times". Even if it has achieved achievements that are difficult for the younger generations to surpass, it is not to say that most of the combinations have "existed in name only", and there is no hope of a complete return.
As the "longevity group" in the girl group, Girls' Generation also released an album in 2017, but in 2014, member Zheng Xiuyan announced her withdrawal from the group, and then members Xiuying, Xu Xian, and Tiffany decided not to renew their contracts with the company in 2017, although the company announced that it did not disband, but the group activities have not been restarted. The popular Wonder Girls announced their dissolution in 2017, KARA announced its dissolution in 2016, and the "big three" groups are still struggling to support Girls' Generation.

At the same time, in 2009, the debut of the "Seven Males" girl group, but also most of them embarked on the road of dissolution, and it is difficult for the group to declare dissolution, because the members' contracts are signed in different brokerage companies, and the difficulty of integration is also greatly increased.
Among them, there are also members who can never come back. In October 2019, Cui Shirley was found dead at home at the age of 25, and she had belonged to the group f(x) before her death. Although Shirley announced her withdrawal from the f(x) group in 2015, in the minds of many fans, the peak of f(x) belonged to five members.
With Hera
Also in 2019, actress Gu Hola also committed suicide, although the members of the group KARA to which she belonged changed frequently, but when Gu Hola was in the team, the group's career was in a golden age, and its popularity and recognition in KARA were in the forefront. Unfortunately, three years after the dissolution of the group, Gu hola chose to leave the world.
Why is the Korean second-generation girl group nostalgic? Putting aside the changeable style and excellent song quality, the most important thing is that the ability of the members of the second generation group is "resistant to each one". Just like Amber in "Creation Camp 2021", in less than a song, comments such as "it is worthy of being from the second generation of the group" are crowded with bullet screens. Although the glory is no longer there, the stage of the idol is "the back wave pushes the front wave", as long as there is a peak, you can leave the "traces" of the times in the ever-changing entertainment market.
