[@eval0110]

It is true though that when you debut you already have a lot of debt to your company with all the training fees and such and they have to earn it back through their promotions and since they were really not earning much from the start i guess the debt piled up other groups even take years before they earn their paycheck but then bar bar bar was immensely successful so maybe their company really kept a lot of money from them.

[@hazelcrisp]

I was a fan of Crayon Pop before Barx3. Even after they blew up the fandom remained super nice and supportive. Crayon Pop were the true underdogs of kpop. The CEO sold his equipment and opened up the company. They were rejected from music shows so they did guerilla performances. They couldn't get on TV so the group and their managers and CEO filmed Crayon Pop TV which was just self-produced videos of them having fun and put in scenarios posted on KZbin. They shared a tiny single dorm and I think one of the members slept on the floor. I was so happy when they blew up in 2013. I still followed after they blew up and they still produced bop after bop with Lonely Christmas, Uh-ee and FM. Their songs are just so much fun and appealed to anyone regardless of who you are because they were fun not trying to be sexy or rely on appealing to a gendered demographic that way. How many MC could you say would be fun or appealing to someone if they aren't attracted to the members. I was heartbroken when Soyul left the group but they had such an impact on me. But they were my ultimate bias group and worked so hard as true underdogs

[@dmario84]

My sentiments... exactly

[@hc661]

i was there, sadly when FM was released , sexy concept was becoming more and more popular. and it didnt get the attention it deserved. *crayon pop tv was soo good.

They were innovators, while everyone else thought in theory, they made reality, they went to the streets gained an audience and fans, and I believe at time didn't take themselves to seriously, even the creator of the group was an out of the box thinker, and trust and believe they left a legacy behind, up and coming groups watched and learned consciously and subconsciously, sometimes you have to change the recipe to keep things interesting

[@grizzlygrizzle]

They conveyed a humility. They didn't take themselves too seriously, and that was very appealing, especially compared to the many self-absorbed stars in music of all types. They really seem like nice young women who are sane and have good values.

[@stephrocks4ever]

One of my favorite fun facts about Crayon Pop is that whenever they were on one of those girl group wrestling match shows, they ALWAYS won even though they're so smol, especially soyul she was like their ace lol. This video is like bittersweet to me because I loved and stanned them so hard and I wish they could've stayed around as a group a little longer, but the time with them was great and its just as great to see them now with their families and individual lives doing and saying whatever the hell they want :')

But I fell in love immediately they were so damn quirky and they kept that concept. I never seen quirky done so good without it being cringey like wtf idk how they did it 😂

[@grizzlygrizzle]

I think "quirky" is a bit too cliche a way to describe them, though that has become the standard label. To me, they seem humble and not to take themselves too seriously, so they can clown around unselfconsciously. They seem wholesome but not excessively prudish. And as a team, they seem to work well together. And they do seem to be hard working. Their dancing is energetic, and they convey positivity and cheerfulness. I have seen a couple of videos on Wayland where they get together and have fun. In one of them, Geummi and the twins visit Soyul and her family. I think that they are just good people, who happened to be in a K-pop group for a while.

[@dssn8725]

I watched a video on Way's channel where she and one of her fellow Crayon Pop members were talking about making the "Bar Bar Bar" MV. In the scenes where that one ride was moving, they actually had to push it to get it going. There was no power to any of the rides.

[@asiacheetah1010]

I liked Crayon Pop. They were actually the 3rd Kpop artist I had ever heard (Psy and 2NE1 were the 1st two). They were interesting enough I dug deeper than just watched a MV or 2 (like the 1st two I heard). I actually watched a few episodes of their reality show. I lost track of them, but I still fondly remember them. I recommend watching Way's KZbin channel. She has some interesting videos on kpop behind the scenes.

[@erickim6533]

I completely missed the Crayon Pop craze(I thought it was for kids). I remember the viral videos of kids jumping to bar-bar-bar but I didn't really discover their music until Asian Boss. I love these girls. They completely embody the cute/nerdy/quirky vibe and I could see why their mostly male fan base was RABID(Korea and Japan). While everyone else was trying to put out a sexy girl crush vibe, these girls kept it cute and petite minus the "Teen Disney Princess" vibe(they probably didn't have that kind of budget anyways). Instead they went with school uniforms and tracksuits(which is like a uniform for male students studying for college). They have great song with great lyrics and meanings too. My faves are Bing Bing, FM, and 1.2.3.4. It's too bad they weren't better managed and financed but then again, they probably wouldn't be CRAYON POP if they were. lol

The agency pays for training before debut, every comeback they have to pay for a producer, lyricist, choreogapher, smaller companies might not have the equipment for song recording so they might need to rent a recording room, then they have to pay for a mv producer, a filming crew, make-up artist, stylists, mv editing, they pay to have the mv be broadcast, and then they have to promote the song on music shows, again they need make-up artists, stylists, decor and sometimes background dancers, the show pays the artists but it is a ridiculous amount compared to how much the company spends on them, if the idols have events, the company pays for the travel (when crayon pop went to lady gaga's concert, the company probably paid for their plane ticket and they probably had to pay for the manager's ticket too, the make-up artist's, the stylist's, other company members', and their hotel room). I mean, i probably forgot some stuff, like when idols are caught in scandals and the company has to pay for the journalist to not release compromising photos. It's really not that surprising that idols would be so heavily indebted to the agency, especially when they are not super popular, most idol groups barely have their head out of water. And as time goes by, their debt grows bigger because the agency has a small return on their investment and most of what they earn is used to pay for everything i have listed above, which is why you often see groups debuting with big production mv and every comeback, the production gets cheaper People always talk about talent in kpop, but really what makes a group popular is all that work behind the scenes, talent is second, money is first Yk Pledis was really smart with seventeen, they didn't let them produce and choreograph their songs for the sake of artistic freedom, it was because it made the production fees cheaper, they tried to do the same with pristin, but the members were not ad talented for music production and when the agency understood that they couldn't be popular the same way as seventeen, they abandoned the group

Never saw jam jams mother Now this was a surprise. So she got the looks from her mom I see

[@nathalierivera4996]

crayon pop will forever be in my heart. They were the first group I've ever listened to and enjoyed in 2013 before I was even a Kpop Stan in 2016. They are absolutely legendary and I still listen to their songs to this day

[@alexcroft3141]

Crayon pop was the group that introduced me to korea and kpop, I was just a kid when I saw them. They reminded me of the wiggles with the bar bar bar song, and I loved so many of their songs like dancing queen. I miss their quirky songs

[@ioslugs]

Still Iconic

[@InuyashaGreen]

Anyone remember Topp Dogg? Such good music but they just never hit it big

FINALLY!!!! I’ve been commenting and waiting for this video. Thank you so much for making it! Crayon Pop was the best ❤️😭

[@WarpStar95]

I'd love to see your take on What Happened to Super Junior! So much has happened to them LOL

[@angelinebena9675]

I will forever remember them. I was in elementary school and everyone in my school knew this song

[@LiveLaughLoveMika143]

When i found out that one of the crayon pop members was the wife of THE Hee jun i was shookif :0

[@felixssausage6662]

I mean, their daughter is honestly the cutest and the sweetest thing(little person) ever 🥺

[@julia.e.carpenter]

I've probably watch at least 6 of this content, and i must say this is probably the most detailed out yet. You kept most info's exposed or informed told in chronological order and very precise.

[@JarretS87]

i'm so glad you made this video. i been away from kpop since 2012 and didn't know anything about this group till i randomly watched Asian boss ft Way and became a fan of her through youtube. i learned alot from this video.

[@AmiAki]

Aww that was cute story of how they started. Kinda sad where they are at now.

[@justnick_91]

I LOVE them so much and still listen to their music on the regular.

[@alejandrocontreras7567]

ok but THANK YOU for making a video about them. they deserved a lot more!!!

[@sugarcoder]

Thank you for making this video! Very informative. I miss them as an entertaining group. I definitely enjoyed their songs, and still do!

[@fixpacifica]

I learned about them from, of all places, The Economist magazine back around 2012 or 2013. I liked every song they released.

[@SScott-kv1kg]

Still love Crayon Pop. They are my morning alarm. Their albums never get old.

[@ac_cor_dingly]

Great video as always! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you so so much! 💜

[@bruniferoo]

I love your videos but during quarantine they're giving me so much life

[@julius.n2138]

they no longer produce unique gg like this anymore.

[@npcimknot958]

Right/ companies are too scared to actually try something new because they just want money.. thats the reason why everything is so safe and folllowes trends. Tbh, a Lot of stuff now won't become classics cause everything just sounds so formulaic

[@lavendervvitch99]

Wow they really had such a unique concept. I’d love to see that again now. It’d be so refreshing

[@ichliebebaeumeweilbaum]

I miss them so much! Great video!

[@BRENTxBEAR]

I miss Crayon Pop! I love this group so much, I'm happy I was able to get their autographs on an album

[@lastintrovert]

I loved Crayon Pop. They were so underrated, but they were one of the few groups, where I'd listen to their entire album. Their songs have the most nostalgic melodies. I think Crayon Pop and f(x) had the best B sides of this generation. 🤗

[@thischinksays]

It's crazy to me how they could be in debt after going on a big tour in NA. Hope all the girls are happy and doing well now.

[@polox6571]

I always love these group stories. The struggle they had to go through and the achievements they made is always amazing to see.

[@aidanthaw8289]

I was introduced to Crayon Pop in school as a child. Never forgotten the " I don't want to stick at home now"

[@miracrapark]

Way has the best youtube channel now

[@Ayzlxn]

“They agreed and packed their helmets” I- 😂 💀

[@OriginAlan]

Crayon Pop was the first group that really got me into Kpop, I'll always remember them... 😢

[@ukgladiatorsfan]

I loved bar bar bar I played it and still play it a lot. I remember when they came to Australia I begged my boss to give me a day off work but it didn’t happen... this was when I was discovering kpop

[@moringguringgu2375]

Crayon pop concept is everything i need now:")

[@clarareuter4466]

Hearing about crayon pop always makes me very emotional and I am not sure why. Maybe because the members seem so wholesome and because their story is so special. I wish they would have gotten treated better and that they were still releasing music today. One of my all time favourite groups.

[@babyclaudiax]

i remember knowing them before bar bar bar & loved dancing queen so much & never knew how hard they worked ?? omg. they're such hard workers !!

[@BoAyuminuyashAmuro]

This video is going in My Happy Pills playlist thanks, a personalized named playlist just for Crayon Pop.

[@audiopop_]

Crayon Pop was really the revolution. Definitely in my top 10 groups of all time. I was lucky enough to see them perform 4 times. 1) KconLA 2) KMF Hollywood Bowl 3) Dallas,Tx with Lady Gaga 4) SXSW Many great memories of them 😭

[@becksketchbook9846]

lucky you
