Get a glimpse of what we’re talking about and listening to at the 6Theory
office in this fun feature! We’ll be offering allkpop readers
a personal selection of our favorites from the K-Pop scene.
EXO-K‘s “MAMA” & “History“:
Although the boys stumbled over their words during their interview, they proved
that they were made for the industry when their nervous and rigid facial
expressions did a 180 once they hit the stage. The boys of EXO-K gave a very
charismatic performance for rookies and hit every move.
B.A.P’s
“Burn It Up” & “Warrior“: Mind you that
these boys are singing live while dancing their hearts out, and they perfected
the intense stomp dance break on their first stage ever. Besides minor mistakes
due to nervousness, B.A.P has already surpassed many groups with their
undeniable talent and alluring charisma even on their debut stage. Despite
being uniform in platinum blonde, each member has so much presence that they
might need a bigger stage to contain it.
Hello
Venus‘ “Venus“: Hello Venus had a very appealing and
exciting debut stage with a cutesy, lovable atmosphere essential for K-pop
female idol groups. What’s most appealing are their adorable outfits that
covered up just the right amount, making me curious for more. Someone to watch
out for during this performance is Lime, the spunky girl with
mint hair, who handles an IU-esque 3-octave scale.
JJ
Project‘s “Bounce“: Even with the excessive
headbanging and running in their choreography, Jr and JB
were “shakin-it” for the fans with their unlimited stamina throughout the
entire performance. One word for their debut performance: fun. Although their
live vocals were weak overall, these two youngsters definitely brightened up
the stage and exuded the perfect amount of energy.
NU’EST‘s
“I’m Sorry” & “Face“: NU’EST had one of
the most stable debut stages in 2012. The group set themselves apart by using a
chair in the beginning of their dance routine and including minor tutting moves
during the dance break, all in their first performance. Although they seemed
rushed at certain moments (when Baekho is “hitting” the
members during his solo), their vocals were strong and on pitch, boosting the
quality of their performance.
CROSS
GENE‘s “La-Di Da-Di“: CROSS GENE showcased decent
vocals, but they really shined with the passion they put into performing their
really complicated, technical choreography.
GLAM‘s
“Party (XXO)”: GLAM’s debut was a way for
them to show off the members’ stamina. These girls are basically everywhere,
but in a good way. They did their sporty debut song justice.
TaeTiSeo‘s
“Love Sick” & “Twinkle“: For TaeTiSeo’s
debut, there were more disappointments than there were moments of being dazed
by their undeniable beauty. This particular version of “Love Sick” was unstable
compared to their other live performances (example here). Although I
expected more coming from the members of a top female idol group like Girls’
Generation, their debut as a sub-unit was a very successful move.
