Handmade K-POP quizzes you can enjoy in your spare time

7 years

Many groups used to disband or change their form by their seventh year, which was often referred to as the seven-year jinx. In recent years, however, it seems some groups have been overcoming this hurdle. It’s really wonderful when they continue their activities for a long time despite the challenges, isn’t it?

Nayeon from TWICE

Yujin debuted in 2015 as a member of CLC. That’s the same debut year as TWICE, SEVENTEEN, and OH MY GIRL. Seeing it this way, it feels like a long career. I’m looking forward to even more of her success from here on out!

Apink『LUV』

The song 'LUV,' which became a massive hit from 2014 to 2015, achieved 17 wins. The subsequent surge in hits from GFRIEND and TWICE was also a highlight.

TVXQ (also known as Tohoshinki; literally “Rising Gods of the East”)

TVXQ, who boast a long career since the late 2000s. They appeared in 2008 during their five-member era. By the way, the female artist BoA made her first starring appearance in 2002. It’s especially exciting to see your favorite artist perform at the Kouhaku (Red and White Song Battle), isn’t it?

KARA

They held their first Tokyo Dome concert in 2013. At the time, they were actively appearing on Japanese TV shows and gained broad recognition thanks to their friendly personality. Incidentally, it seems that the first K-pop artist to perform at the Tokyo Dome was RAIN.

Into The New World

They debuted with this song in 2007. It’s a beloved classic known as “Into the New World.” They’re top-of-the-top legends, but their youthful charm back then was wonderful too. By the way, “Genie” was their Japanese debut single.

Lee Young-ji

Lee Young-ji, who drew attention on High School Rapper 3. Beyond her rapping skills, she’s a female rapper who’s skyrocketing in popularity for her exceptional wit and approachable charm on variety shows. In Fighting, her fiery back-and-forth with BSS is incredibly cool!
