Throwback Thursday: March Debuts Part 1

We are now in March—the start of spring, bright colors, and many many debuts. There are so many groups on this list that it had to be split into two parts. So, let’s take it back and talk about the groups we know and love that made their big debut in March. 

Brown Eyed Girls -“다가와서” 

Before we knew them for their hit song “Abracadabra,” we heard an R&B debut track that put these girls on the map. On March 2, 2006, Brown Eyed Girls released their debut track,“다가와서,” or “Come Closer,” and everyone has been hooked ever since. The vocals in this song are mesmerizing, and the track is addictive. I have to also talk about how powerful the vocals are. The members Jea, Miryo, Narsha, and Gain put their all into this song. The runs hold strength, and the vocals are stable. The emotion is heard in each member's vocals and rap. “다가와서” is a dynamic debut track that will captivate viewers. 

KARA - “Break It” 

This song screams the early 2000s. On March 29, 2007, members Gyuri, Seungyeon, Sunghee, and Nicole made their debut with their track “Break It.” This funky R&B track hit the scene and showcased four powerful girls ready to take over. You can’t help but dance along when this song comes on. The beat is addictive, and the vocals have that late ‘90s, early 2000s sound that we found in Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera songs. The vocals are strong, and the video is upbeat and looks like so much fun. As time progressed, the number of members changed, like the addition of members Jiyoung, Youngji, and Hara. KARA will go down in history as an iconic girl group. 

NU’EST - “FACE” 

Come on, we all know this song. “FACE” will definitely go down in history as a debut we will never forget. On March 15, 2012, Pledis Entertainment boy group NU’EST made their iconic debut. The members JR, Aron, Baekho, Minhyun, and Ren not only debuted their singing, dancing, and rapping, but we also got a look into the fantastic acting skills of the members. “FACE” is a track that is going to live on forever. Even now, almost 12 years later, this debut will be streamed by many. The vocals are striking and hit every punch. The mixture of electro and pop made a loveable dance and sing-along. 

PRISTIN - “WEE WOO” 

Bright, colorful, bubbly, and upbeat are only a few words that come to mind when I think of this track. On March 21, 2017, the Pledis Entertainment girl group PRISTIN debuted with their hit track “WEE WOO.” The members Nayoung, Roa, Yuha, Eunwoo, Rena, Kyulkyung, Yehana, Sungyeon, Xiyeon, and Kyla gave us a fun title track we will sing and dance to. You can hear in their vocals the excitement and joy, and that is what is felt while listening to this track. The video is exciting, and you get hooked to the song from the first listen. PRISTIN definitely did their big one with this track.
