2018, if not, maybe the year where rookie groups went off and slain the Kpop game. When I said a lot, I mean A LOT.
Produce 101's third season's debut team debuted as IZ*ONE with La Vie En Rose. Cube's new girl group who just came back with 'Senorita' also made their debut the same year with the song 'Latata.' That same year, JYP's newest boy group Stray Kids finally made their anticipated debut with the Song 'District 9' hence following the success of their survival show.
Straykids, is easily one of the best boy group that debuted in the year 2018 or maybe, even this past few years. They followed the massive success of their pre-debut single titled 'Hellevator' with a powerful debut song with a beautiful concept. It's amazing how they gave a new flavor to their company's overall aesthetic and create a name for themselves while following the footsteps of their seniors.
It's already given that they are immensely talented as showcased in their survival show. All the members dance well, and that's very necessary to a boy group except in bands or vocal groups. They also have splendid vocalists, and as what as I've observed, all of them sing well. Straykids also has the best rapper line, and to be honest, they can stand in lines with the senior groups.
They lived up to their name as monster rookies, by them composing their songs, especially in a company known to be the house of the industry's most promising composers and producers. Not only that but they perform excellently with impressive choreographies and oozing stage presence. Each of the members is all-rounders and is very talented.
As I observed, the members had great chemistry, and their teamwork is terrific despite them having different personalities.
I never really became a hardcore fan of them, but I knew all the members, I also follow a lot of Stays in twitter to support them in ways that I can.
They are one of the groups I admire and highly respect. They all have shared struggles hence being on a survival show where almost a few of them got eliminated; fortunately, they all debuted all together as they deserved.
As one of the people that watched them grow, I'm proud to say that they deserved the recognition they're receiving now. They're one of the most hardworking groups with the most hardworking members. If you're not stanning yet, please question your life choices and start checking them out. Those crackheads will be worth your time.
