Why they were so popular with those voices, never understand that.


I'm a mega WG fan, but I see your point. They do have their moments, though. The song you are talking about is "Nobody". I don't think (many) people like them for their "amazing singing abilities", it's more like the dances and how catchy the songs are. An example would be the creator of youtube. He said once that his favorite videos to watch are people doing the Wonder Girls' "Tell Me" dance. Everything about them is addicting, and you can thank JYP for that. =D


Sry but no thank you, not interested.

As far as I know ICONIQ has her own thread in the Other Music section. I don't know if you really ignored my warning pm to you. You kept on doing this; IDK what your real motive is from posting these PURE KPOP stuffs. Even thought that I could give you another chance last time, but if this continues.. let's see what will happen.


No, it's not that. Don't fret. I really can't find the Iconiq thread here since I last logged in here. Neither the same post regarding this. I'm sorry. I'll try finding it asgain here. My net connection here is a total disaster since last week. ^_^♪


Here's the most current thread about ICONIQ.

^ The catchy beats and the dance perhaps? Dunno, not either a fan. Maybe you were talking about "Tell Me". If that was it, I liked that song. lol. There are still some Kpop songs that I like til' now. It is the current situation of Kpop that made me sick of it.

Can you explain this artist? ^-^♪



Iconiq (Ahyoomee / Ayumi Lee) dancing on her Japanese PV "BYE NOW!"

Quote:
Iconiq was born in Tottori Prefecture on August 25, 1985, to Korean parents. She lived in Japan until she was 15, after which she moved to South Korea. She was scouted by entertainment company Starworld at a H.O.T. concert, debuting as part of the girl group Sugar in 2002. The band released two albums in Japan and three in Korea, however were met with only moderate commercial success. In 2006, the group disbanded, and Iconiq released two solo singles as Ahyoomee. The first, a cover of the theme song for Cutie Honey (in the style of the Kumi Koda's 2004 version), was released on July 13, 2006, however was criticized by Korean media for her "heavy accent" and the overall Japanese feel of performances.. Her second digital single, "Jalmotdwin Mannam" (Korean: "잘못된 만남", "Wrongful Meeting") was released on November 7, 2006, and is a cover of Kim Gun Mo's hit from 1995. She switched labels in February 2007, moving from Starworld to SM Entertainment and started collaborating with SM Town on their summer and winter albums that year. However, she did not release any solo material in this time. In 2008, Iconiq moved to Los Angeles to study dance, and find new inspiration as a musician.


Iconiq's official Japanese profile did not mention her past as a member of Sugar or her Korean heritage, however vaguely references starting activities "overseas" in 2002. Concerns about the motives of this were raised in the Korean media. Korean netizen reactions were mixed, with some seeing the decision as "embarrassment" of her past, while others reasoned Iconiq's Japanese career's stylistic differences were the cause. Tokyo Sports ran an , article about Iconiq's past as a Korean idol however later apologized to Iconiq's record label.


What the.... Avex is letting it show that Iconiq's classified as a Japanese rather than a Korean. T_T Missed her during her 2007 SM Town days....
