A Secret History - Part 1 2009

I want to try something new with this blog. Something along the lines of writing about the history of artists in little short segments. So I'll start with a Korean girl band called Secret.

In 2009 TS Entertainment formed the girl group called Secret and they entered the K-pop scene in October with a single called "I Want You Back"

left to right intros:
Jieun - she was 19 at the time and had worked for JYP from 2007-2008 eventually leaving them after her debur in a gril band was delayed. She is the main vocalist of the group and is introduced in the intro to the video for this song.

Zinger - she's the rapper and I've always liked her punch rap delivery. She was also 19 at the time and came from a bodyguard father and a singing mother

Sunhwa - the pretty maknae of the bunch who had just turned 19. Coming from a poor family and inspired by the k-pop artist BoA she struggled on talent shows until eventually TS Ent took her on.

Hyosung - my personal fave. She celebrated her 20th birthday on the day of the singles release. She is the main dancer in the group and you;ll see why she is my fave later on. She also came from a struggling family background and went the talent show route.

so here it is the single that launched the career of Secret reaching number 27 in the gaon charts.

This was one of the bands that debuted during the year i fell in love with K-pop and the r and b mixed with a bit of bubble gum pop appealed to me. And then they came out with a bang in 2010 but that's for my next post.
