Gugudan is a rookie group from Jellyfish Entertainment that debuted in 2016. This group has got more recognition with their comeback song, "A Girl Like Me." Having two members from former IOI, Sejong and Mina, this group has got attention with their nice vocals and dance moves. This group is also starting to do another field besides singing.
The nine-membered group is about to be the third hosts for "SNL Korea 9." The show is set to film starting April 9 and it will be broadcast live, reported AllKpop. The first host for the show will be SNSD's Sooyoung and then Lim Soo Hyang is next and Gugudan will then follow. It will be a new experience for the members excluding Sejong and Mina, who have done it before with I.O.I.
Gugudan debuted with mini album "Act. 1 The Little Mermaid," With title track "Wonderland," they did really well singing and dancing. But many people thought they still had weak performance. For their comeback in 2017, they released mini-album "Act 2. Narcissus." With title track "A Girl Like Me," the girls are loved more because the song is on point and it showcases the members' vocals really well.
Among the members of Gugudan, Sejong gets more attention as she is very talented. After IOI disbandment and joined Gugudan, she did solo activity with song composed by Zico's "Flower Road." It even got the first place at "Show Champion," which aired Nov. 30, Kpopmap reported.
In this comeback with Gugudan, the members gave a bold and fabulous image, according to Soompi. The members were looking beautiful with their girly outfits. Also, they showed more mature image compared to their first mini album "Act.1 The Little Mermaid."
The competition among groups is fiercer as there are many old groups making their comeback this year, like Highlight (former Beast) and Girl's Day. Still, Gugudan's fans always root their idols, proven by the noisy fan chant during their performances on several music shows.
