Kim Kwang Soo's Next Terrible Idea: The SeeYa

This song is from the original SeeYa. They were one of my favorite groups when they were around and I almost ragequit Kpop when they disbanded in early 2011. I knew SeeYa's disbandment was the beginning of the end for CCM, but The SeeYa is a slap in the face for fans of SeeYa.

 

Just a recap for Kpop noobs, SeeYa was a three member ballad group under MNet Media. Later on, MNet would create a sub label, Core Contents Media. Giving Kim Kwang Soo more power was a mistake. Anyway, that crazy, demented fucker actually lived up to his nickname of The Midas Touch. SeeYa and SG Wannabe did really well in the mid 2000s when ballads were huge in Korea, and this later prompted him to debut Davichi. T-ara was also originally supposed to be a ballad group before Jiae and Frankenstein's daughter Jiwon left.

Good things don't last forever though. Nam Gyuri left the group in 2009. There was a riff between Nam Gyuri and Kim Kwang Soo that makes the T-ara scandal look like kiddy shit. It wasn't a pretty scene to watch, but eventually SeeYa moved on and added Soomi to the group.



This wasn't the first time SeeYa did pop music (they did it with Hot Girl when Nam Gyuri was still in the group), but SeeYa had to temporarily abandon their ballad style since dance-pop music from idols became the craze in 2009. SeeYa proved they could handle the change, and proved that a group could sing dance songs instead of just sounding like shit. However, Soomi never lasted in the group, as she was then moved to Co-Ed, and that brings me to the next point in this article.

Co-Ed was where Kim Kwang Soo really started losing it. Some would say he started fucking up with T-ara, but with the success T-ara had before HwayounGate, he thought he could duplicate that success easily. So, he tried making Hyewon the Jiyeon of the group and tried shoving her down our throats. Then Co-Ed debuted with a song that sounded like a T-ara reject song. That failure didn't open his eyes since Kim Kwang Soo tried duplicating T-ara's formula yet again with Gang Kiz. Everyone knows how badly that turned out.

So, Kim Kwang Soo still had T-ara and Davichi, so he thought things were still good. Those two groups were his cash cows. He moved Co-Ed and Gang Kiz to a sub label to hide his failures. Without two black holes, Kim Kwang Soo had everything made...or so he thought. HwayounGate happened and that fiasco affected the sales of Sexy Love and T-ara's image. Whether or not anything actually happened, netizens distorted things to the extent it'll take a year plus for T-ara to restore their image. Oh, that's okay, in the meantime, CCM can just promote Davichi...OH WAIT, DAVICHI FREED THEMSELVES FROM THAT HELLHOLE! CRISIS ALERT! WHAT TO DO?!?!?!?!?!

RUSH THE DEBUT OF YOUR NEXT GIRL GROUP AND NAME THEM AFTER A GROUP THAT HAS ALREADY DISBANDED! GENIUS! MIDAS TOUCH! A MUCH BETTER IDEA THAN PUTTING IN A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL IN A GROUP WHO CAN'T SPEAK KOREAN TO RAP IN KOREAN!

CCM already had planned to debut yet another girl group next year, but with Davichi giving Kim Kwang Soo the middle finger, he decided to debut the ones who could sing now. There are also rumors that former SeeYa member Lee Boram is set to join.

I'm just wondering who is going to be the Nam Gyuri of the group (NSFW).
