Help! I'm now addicted to Wait 10 Years Baby 😩 The instrumentals are actually so groovy hahaha Am I the only one???

[@sabcia3108]

I also love Wait 10 Years Baby

[@o.6765]

How will I get this song out of my head!? 😅

[@Notnugupromoter]

Nooo it’s so good

[@Rouge_Ice]

When it played, I immediately said "oh.. so that's where that beat came from" 😆 I remember hearing it before coz of some popular dance. I don't know what the dance was called but I remember seeing it in some variety show.😄

[@Achelouz]

😄😄😄

[@knye2]

As weird as this journey was, I would like to commend Soa because she was committed, she said "I'm going down with the ship" and I can respect that lol

[@OnnaNiSacheAre]

literally lmao why didn't she leave when she had the chance 😂

[@thethingcalledlisa]

She also seems to be really talented, I feel bad for her she may have made it big in a different group under a different company with her dedication and skills

[@aestheticcat8976]

🤣🤣

[@rmsdimples8533]

She was a decent dedicated idol in places who can't do justice to their talent. Glad she still passionate in her works, hope the best of luck to her :(

[@milantarika7219]

Lmaoo yes, other members come and go but then there is Soa who is like "nah, I'm staying"

[@sabrinaleedance]

Honestly the plastic surgery concept is kind of genius and great satire on the Kpop industry as a whole. Isn't it ironic how much hate they go for publicly apparently getting plastic surgery for a comeback, when that is actually very common amoung idols but they don't talk about it and deny it! It makes it even better that they didn't appear to get plastic surgery at all 😅

[@lillipupzilla]

Yeah they killed three birds with one stone. Got a surgery they probably would have gotten anyway, an advertising deal, and a music video, all at the same time. And at least they were honest about it!

[@jkaygoulet]

I thought it was completely genius & their songs were actually pretty great, but the public hated it. Hilariously, if they had kept their surgeries a secret, there would have been endless videos dedicated to speculating if they had surgery or not, & that would have been okay. Honesty should be rewarded! It's so bizarre to me, the treatment of celebrities or idols, all over the world - but especially in Korea!

[@heyitszella]

I suddenly remembered when yooa denied getting lip fillers and said they're natural lol

[@UncleMarco]

Honestly they seem like great girls who had a good time. I think it’s funny how someone can debut as an idol in Korea, garner some attention, then end up working part time at a grocery store. Imagine having a former idol coworker. I hope they look back fondly on their time as idols…

[@havensohn3821]

Literally the amount of former idols teaching yoga and delivering stuff is surprising.

[@aestheticcat8976]

There's a few who have left the industry actually along with their groups for a normal life and also for the sake of their mental health, props to them because this industry isn't easy to deal with especially considering how toxic fans can get always tearing down idols images/bodies online. Complaining over idiotic things and always sparking false accusations/rumors, career ruining bullying scandals.

[@iniyama]

one of the members of my fave group (Sunghak/Bigstar) recently got certified as a personal trainer (if I read the Korean right) Cheezy from Crispi Crunch opened a clothing store after not being able to do much music because covid Sean Lee (from Superstar K, season 2) went from being in a couple ballad groups to now being a security guard for idols 2 of the members from short lived group Wind Hold Venus are now married and have kids. and these are just a few former idols I follow or talk to, there's countless more

[@user-bn6ht5eg4q]

That’s not that surprising actually most idols are broke asf and have no prospects after retiring from the industry

[@kansaibeyond]

I feel like their songs would have a whole different reaction if like, PSY (a man, and not under any beauty standards) released it. But get a few young, beautiful women releasing it - its suddenly inappropriate and "controversial".

[@akuhappy3246]

It is back to what the image of the artist relay

[@beomkaslana]

people will find any reason to hate on female idols for a very tame reason while defending a really problematic male idol it's really sickening me edit: i don't consider PSY problematic at all, just the double standard is ugh...

[@TuberoseKisser]

Agree with the standards but Psy is on a different level.

[@ranjithdayananda3325]

​@@TuberoseKisserhe really knows how to entertain But this six bomb company took it too far The girls voices were really great

[@MA_KA_PA_TIE]

I give the girls credit. They left it all on the floor and gave it their all. That's always admirable.

[@cgilbert210]

I feel sorry for them. No one took them serious so they decided to have fun and people complained. They just couldn’t win. 🤷🏻‍♀️ They have really nice voices.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

The public always has to complain about something. So many idols have such a rough time. I feel bad for them too.

[@helpraznidentitystopanti-a3946]

Being an idol is rough, unrealistic standards are set upon you from the get go

[@weeabooper]

I used to work at a store that sold latex outfits (don't ask) and yeah, it's no joke pricewise.. its also really time consuming to get in and out of and move around in general in so they were definitely committed to the bit 😂

[@heejinators7342]

Wait people were *disappointed* they didn’t look drastically different? I’m disturbed.

[@Dervis128]

Fun Fact: Between Six Bomb's debut and redebut, Navi and Soa debuted as a subunit called DuoFlo. They had an r&b/soul style, and their song Payday was just really cool and demonstrated that the girls really DID have talent. Navi's vocals were great, and Soa's rapping was solid as well.

[@primarytrainer1]

it's a shame how the plastic surgery concept went; it's actually really clever in a sense, if only they had framed it as a social commentary instead and stirred up controversy that way

[@aal1yah17]

I heard a bit about this on Midnight's Theories Channel a while back. Honestly it just shows how hard it is to get into the industry and the fact that they were willing to do this type of concept shows how willing they are to make it

[@kula3368]

I've been waiting for a video to be made about this group. their history is very strange and not often discussed in full, so they've kind of been an enigma even for old nugu groups. like everyone's talked about the plastic surgery concept, but they seldom talk about their other songs (like the one with the AV concept...) or their weird debut history, or how one of the members was part of another very unknown group that released a song titled Butt that is genuinely kind of incredible (the group was called I-REN, btw. i highly reccommend the song). I think I'd like to see one of the members do an interview or something, I can only imagine what being a part of the group was like.

[@kawaiiplastic5808]

BUTT IS SUCH A BOP! For real. I am shocked to see someone know this song as well.

[@albertosaurio]

@@albertosaurio thank you 😊

[@isiaadiel3468]

The thing that shocked me is how good quality the surgeries were. Big 3 company surgeries usually don't go the best (Nayeon and Taeyeon's nose jobs with the uneven nostrils come to mind, not that it made them any left gorgeous), so the fact that a tiny company got some natural looking changes is shocking. Still, sucks that they felt they needed to do that for a concept, instead of just doing so privately.

[@suwakoss]

Part of the reason that uneven nosejobs happen is that they are operating on a previously done nose. Having to operate on scar tissue is no joke on an already thin bridge. If you really pay attention almost all idols have had plastic surgery and it goes well. In big3, its just that they pursue further changes that tend to cause problems.

[@tallybarnie5453]

Nayeons nose looks the same to me when not wearing makeup I didn’t even know she got surgery

[@lemonaidebey6190]

Nayeon's nose is not uneven but it looks terrible when she smiles sometimes. Taeyeon's nose is still uneven

[@deadcactus3823]

@@suwakoss interesting

[@zzz7103]

Good quality?

[@grimm2871]

Growing up in the Hardcore/Metal scene and getting into Kpop like 7 years ago is still crazy to me. Knowing a group could get hated on if a music video doesn't have a $500,000 budget or expensive clothes is so odd to me. The fact that a group could fade into nothing if they're not constantly putting out songs is also crazy. In hardcore/metal your music video could be homemade in the garage and we'll still love it. You don't even have to put songs out for years and you'll still be loved.

[@MartianCandies]

It's why the hardcore/metal scene will always be my home. I've never had more fun in a community and at concerts. Love it

[@brandon8910]

[@Stormith]

Haha I remember when Sixbomb dropped the Becoming Prettier video and everyone was freaking out, but I think they had such an air of fun about them

[@RocioCeleste89]

Oof, I love them. Getting Prettier After is a legitimate bop, and their ballads are lovely. So sad they couldn't find success.

[@kazuhasgloves]

I don't even recall of this group but I feel absolutely heartbroken for them.

[@aprils1888]

I actually really love SixBomb, I always enjoyed their groundbreaking concepts lol

[@_Eunoia_]

The thing is though, the chorus of Becoming Pretty After absolutely SLAPS (the "nah nah nah" part especially), like the girls are such talented singers? With slightly better verses, outfits and choreo, it could've been a genuinely popular song that might've charted on its own.

[@yyg4632]

I think DJ'ing and club scene is perfect for this group. The actual Kpop scene is sometimes too sterile . 6bomb is all about fun and craziness and that's what the club scene is

[@morphogenetic_]

Very happy about this series, and you're starting off strong!

[@ploopy678]

I actually already made 2 episodes previously (Trust me, those are wild too!) You can check them out in my "Crazy KPOP Concepts" playlist!

[@jacquelyndeleon1041]

I have been a fan of Six Bomb ever since ¨Wait 10 Years Baby¨ . However, thanks to this video I was able to learn more than what I thought I knew. Thanks !!!

[@foxeyedol]

Getting to hear “Greetings, Plofessors” brightened my day. And with Evangeline actually wearing a sausage suit AND the amount of videos we are getting? Spoiled.

[@gracey3269]

That's the industry for you. You can be talented, make great music and have dedication to your group but that doesn't mean it will ever pay off. Some really great groups never get attention so they disband. Some groups disband prior to debut, or quickly after. It's very sad. Being an idol is harder than some think. Really hard. I wish these girls were recognised for their talent.

[@winxyreborn1118]

1:39 I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW PIXY 😭😭

[@Achelouz]

It's very hard for small companies to maintain an idol group, if they're lucky the group may have one or even a few big hits, but the next single may flop and the group goes back to oblivion. Over the years, we have seen so many groups from small companies with extremely talented and beautiful performers - T-ara, GFriend, 4Minute, CLC, AOA, Momoland, etc, and they all disbanded after some years despite reaching the top of various music charts and being mainstream popular once. The only ones that can sustain long-term are big companies and many performers themselves either transition to acting / variety show or quit showbiz altogether due to their age.

[@OCTOPOPS]

Oh wow I am so glad you are covering them! Their song Getting Pretty After is such a bop!

[@K-edits05]

First, I am so sorry for the girls they are really talented

[@epicfwend178]

damn i thought i was first

[@MiniLinlin]

As weird as SixBomb was, I actually kind of liked them. Dain was my favorite and some of the other girls were talented. I still think Getting Pretty After is such a bop even though I don't like plastic surgery that much lol. Haven't watched the video yet but I know it'll be interesting.

[@JamieNova]

Dang, I was only aware of this group because of the "plastic surgery concept" but I kinda forgot they existed for a couple of years. That really sucks that their agency decided to promote them using the outrage marketing strategy instead of actual proper promotion, because they seemed really talented. At least a couple of the members seem to be doing ok now, they just seemed to have been done really dirty by the Kpop industry.

[@adamsmoberly]

I don’t think people in Korea thought they looked like those sausages, but the other type of “sausages”. I wouldn’t have put it together if I haven’t seen this video about Korean people seeing sexy American videos and they talked about similarities in Korea (in particular, EXID’s Up & Down, with the girls with the balloons: I mean the dance is sexy, but I never got why it was so inappropriate until I saw the balloons looking like the other type of “sausages”). I actually like the black dresses they had (and that’s a compliment, because I feel thin kpop idols (like Itzy’ Lea and Yuna have wonder big dresses and looked like toothpicks in them). Also Soo’s hair from Debut (she’s really pretty, so I don’t get why they would even give her plastic surgery, well if she did, still watching), since it matched her face shape and looked really cool for her. Honestly, I wish she could have been in Evol, because her hair and swagger matched that group (who got one of the worst debut songs ever; like NMIXX (O.O being chosen over Tank), that one song was picked over Magnet, which was a better song, especially since they were a girl crush group).

Their blue dresses from the section about the plastic surgery concept look very VERY similar the dress Yuna Kim skated in when she won her gold medal at the 2010 Olympics. (So much that I did a little bit of a double-take when they appeared) I wonder if that’s coincidence or another bid at outfit-based talk, but more positive this time? Edit: Just looked it up; it was intentional. That’s hilarious.
