On my quest to fill this blog with boy groups, I decided to write about this mix of members from famous Korean boy bands: SM The Ballad.
Jay, Jonghyun, Jino and Kyuhyun
As the name suggests, this group is composed of members from SM Entertainment: Kyuhyun (from Super Junior), Jonghyun (from SHINee), Jay (TRAX) and a new singer, Jino (trainee). Formed in 2010, it is a project to bring back the ballad songs that dominated the K-Pop scene some years ago and to showcase the label's best vocals.
To achieve those goals, the chosen members were the ones considered the best singers in their respective groups. In November 2010, SM The Ballad released the first album 'Miss You' and started promoting the title track.
'Miss You''s Music Video - powerful vocals
Despite the group's incredible vocal capacities, the album sold less than expected. It seems that the industry got a little resistant against pure ballads after the recent idol and auto-tune boom. Still, SM continued the project and started promotions for the album's most famous track, 'Hot Times'.

With great live performances and fans from different bases supporting the group, SM The Ballad reached the first place on sales rankings and showed that talent still matters despite all the average groups getting successful.
1st place makes people happy!
For 2011 we can only wait and see if SM will bring the group back for a second album. With DBSK coming back in January, then probably f(x) and Super Junior, the boys will have little time to sing together again. But don't worry, it's just a matter of time! Small post is small but what can I do, they don't even have two months since their creation...
