Get Up-Close With Korean Girl Group Rainbow
If you are K-Pop fans, you are certainly familiar with one of the most popular girl bands, Rainbow. Rainbow debuted in 2009 under DSP Entertainment with a formation of seven members, namely Woori, Seungah, Jaekyung, Noeul, Yoonhye, Jisook, and Hyunyoung. They released their mini-album Gossip Girl on November 12th, 2009.
In 2014, they formed Sub Units, named Rainbow Blaxx, consisting of Jaekyung, Woori, Seungah, and Hyunyoung. Their special album, RB Blaxx, was released on January 20th, 2014. The music video for the title track, “Cha Cha,” was directed by Digipedi and was the fourth-most viewed K-pop music video globally in January 2014. The music video, as well as the song’s choreography, drew controversy for being “too sexual”.
However, in 2016 Rainbow officially disbanded because all the members did not want to renew their contract with DSP Entertainment. “Although we discussed with Rainbow members Kim Jae-kyung, Go Woori, Kim Ji-sook, Noel, Oh Seungah, Jung Yoon-hye, and Jo Hyun-young about their future, they have decided to go their separate ways.”
They added, “We will be remembered for being bright, and we will be remembered for their bright, positive image and hopefully, people will continue to support them wholeheartedly and encourage them in their future activities.”
