This week's K-Artist is the "how NOT to debut" and "how even after a failure there's hope for a bright future" edition with the rookie girl group Girl's Day!
Girl's Day
Created in 2010 under DreamTea Entertainment, these 5 young girls, which had a different line-up in the beginning compared to the actual formation, released their first mini-album "Girl's Day Party1" in July. Much expectation had been created for it due to their previous appearances on commercials and by forums through the internet.
What the group wasn't expecting, however, was the mighty hatred that spread after the title track "Tilt My Head"s music video was revealed. Why, you ask? The song is 95% auto-tuned, featuring only the rap parts as "normal" segments. Actually, I'm going to be sincere here: the song sucks, and the excessive auto-tune just makes it much worse.

But why am I talking about them if they apparently suck so much? That, my friend, is because Girl's Day was enlightened, revived from the ashes, transformed, completely changed. After the first mini-album's promotions, two members left, being quickly replaced.
And in the same year, a new group was shown to the public. "Nothing Lasts Forever" is the name of this miracle. The auto-tune was thrown away, the cute concept was smashed. The girls came back to showcase their true talents and to prove that they were much better than most of us had thought.

With astounding live performances and believing in their own abilities, Girl's Day established themselves as a more respected rookie girl group. While the first song may have lost many possible supporters, the second digital single's title track brought hordes of fans to the group, which rested assure of their idols' capacities.
In 2011, "Twinkle Twinkle", the third single, was announced. Wondering if the group would continue rising talent-wise, many fans hoped for another successful release. The song was released in March, featuring a funny MV that made use of a cuter concept, although without overdoing it. Catchy vocals, check. Beautiful girls acting acceptably cute, check. Great overall song, check! "Twinkle Twinkle" won more fans over the world, yay~

As you probably noticed through this post, I'm a great supporter of this group. It's not only because their recent songs are great, but especially due to how they went from hated auto-tuned silly girls to talented, hard-working and adorable idols. Girl's Day is an example for future rookies and I hope they'll get many awards in the future! Remember: if you liked this post, remember to support the group by purchasing their music.
