(From K-POP News)
WJSN is a girl group that debuted in early 2016.
This year, a survival program to create a girl group started at the same time as the season began.
It was called Produce 101.
The previous year, JYP started the debut survival program SIXTEEN on TV.
This attracted a lot of attention, and the girl group TWICE was born.
They debuted in October.
TWICE won the Newcomer Award at the big music festival MAMA that year.
Following TWICE's success, a new debut survival program started.
This was "Produce 101" hosted by Mnet.
All the top trainees outside of YG gathered here.
The overwhelming glamour created a buzz and the show's popularity grew with each broadcast.
WJSN debuted around this time, and they attracted attention right after their debut.
However, their popularity was overtaken by "Produce 101," which started at the same time.
"Produce 101" did not become popular right from the start either.
It was more a case of public recognition increasing as there was an abundance of topics and articles about them, and their popularity also increased.
Like the beginning of a historical drama, while the highly popular members and minor members shine in various ways, there is one diva who has been gradually gaining popularity with each broadcast.
This was Yoo Yeonjung, who would later join WJSN as the 13th member.
She was only 16 years old at the time.
Her wish to join the girl group Cosmic Girls was not granted, so she bet her future dreams on "Produce 101."
During the program's trial stage, she was the main vocalist for Girls' Generation's debut song "Into the New World," where she showed off her overwhelming singing ability.
By the time she finished this stage, it could be said that she had secured the title of the series' greatest diva.
I just went to watch the video of this stage, and it has been viewed 9.4 million times.
It seems that the video of this stage is still loved and viewed by many fans.
Of all the stages that colored "Produce 101," this may be the one that has been clicked the most.
From a near-unknown state, Yeonjung made a great success using her outstanding singing ability.
She was chosen as the final member of "Produce 101," which was her dream.
Yeonjung had already started performing with the temporary group I.O.I, and her name as the main vocalist had become well known, when it was announced that she would join WJSN.
I don't know if there was a script for Yeonjung to follow this path.
It probably wasn't.
If there was, it must have been something prepared by heaven.
It could be one of those well-crafted stories of "good fortune and bad fortune are like a twisted rope."
In September of that year, WJSN made a comeback with Yeonjung as the main vocalist.
Their title song "Secret" was a clean hit, and WJSN had emerged from a long slump.
Since then, WJSN has been gradually gaining popularity.
However, perhaps because of the large number of members, it is difficult to say that their true potential has been fully realized.
Their singing and dancing are above average.
If you look closely, you will see that some of the members are visually impressive.
They appear to have some passionate fans, but their fan base has not grown significantly.
They remain a mysterious group.
"Dreams Come True" is a wonderful performance. It's strange that it wasn't well received.
Perhaps female fans in their twenties and thirties are impressed with their performance.
Is it because the main force behind the flashy movements on the surface of K-POP is the teenage fan base (?) who are willing to spend money?
It seems that they can't make a big impact unless they are accepted by this generation, so where is the lack of effort?
Well, they had a successful concert in Seoul, and although their popularity is not rapid, it is certainly increasing.
The pool is full of water and is swimmable, but let's just say the water is so clean that (most) fans don't notice.
I believe that one day music like theirs will be accepted.
