The Kpop industry that was started during the Hallyu wave is still going on, it has seen dramatic rise of acceptance and love for korean entertainment. The Korean entertainment industry is so vast nowadays that it seems that it can rival those of the bigger leagues such as Bollywood and even Hollywood. It is no small feat that they have risen to this level of success, their artist work tirelessly day in and day out to make this dream into fruition. The concept of making boy groups or girl groups is so repetitive in the western world that they are just left out in today's society. However, what the west failed to construct the east especially South Korea had emulated forms that would bring the concept of group singers into the light. They were able to build the needs of the individuality and groupings that is so impressive that it achieves throughout the global stage. The problem was that there was a saturated number of groups being made even for new ones, the beauty in that is that there are more choices for the common viewers to pick and with each type of genre to the individuals liking. Many have come and tried the kpop music industrial wave and during the golden age of from 2009 to 2012 it was bustling with possibility. Now we could be entering a new golden age and that is through the coming out of famous groups such as Blackpink and BTS.
One group i would like to bring to focus was a group that i had liked during the formative years of halluya wave in 2010 and that is Coed School. It was a mix group of boys and girls that are made of two subunit that is Speed and F--ve dolls. The group consisted of Soomi, Kwanghaeng, Yoosung, Taewoon, Kangho, Chanmi, Noori, Hyoyoung, Hyewon, and Sungmin.
The group debuted on October 28, 2010 and disbanded in 2013 with both
sub-units becoming independent groups under Core Contents Media (now MBK
Entertainment). The music industry can be ferocious at times and the artist that are caught in the midst of problems would have a tough time in escape such vicious cycle. The group had some internal problem and a lack of drive to make their music be heard. This led to a decline in performance. Their battle with bullying amongst it's members are also part of the problem that caused the group to not achieve their goal. Even though, the group did not live up to its ambition it's members still continue to their work as singers in a new company and management. I just want to sum up in my opinion there is great success for any group who would want to succeed in the industry such as kpop provided that good intention, hard work and proper management is rallied to make their work dream come true
