We are now in the month of July. Considering that we are in the middle of the summer, many groups are having their big summer comebacks. Throughout the generations of K-Pop, there have been many groups that we know and love that have debuted this month and wowed us with their talent. Today we are going to take it back and talk about those amazing debuts of groups that we all may know.

“This Song” - 2AM 

On July 11, 2008, JYP Entertainment debuted their boy group 2AM. The group consisted of 11 members total and then was split into the groups that we know now called 2AM, and 2PM. Once the group was split, 2AM consisted of four members. The members are; Jokwon, Changmin, Seulong, and Jinwoon. Their debut track “This Song” was performed on the music show titled KBS Music Bank. The song is really beautiful and sentimental. The vlog styling of the video showed the process that the members went through in order to debut. It’s a very deep and heartwarming video that deserves to be seen by all.

“Bad Girl, Good Girl” - miss A

Whenever iconic debuts are talked about, this song is always brought up. On July 1, 2010, another JYP Entertainment talented group named miss A debuted with their track “Bad Girl, Good Girl.” At the time when this song was released, the group consisted of four members. The members Fei, Suzy, Min, and Jia put their all into this song and had us all listening to this piece over and over again. Many of miss A's songs have been covered multiple times including this one. It will for sure go down in history as a memorable debut and will always remain iconic.

“소방차 (Fire Truck)” - NCT 127

The concept of NCT is something that we don’t really see in K-Pop. The concept of this SM Entertainment boy group is that the group will constantly keep growing with new members joining every once in a while. The group as a whole is separated into units. The one we are talking about today is NCT 127. NCT 127 had their big debut on July 7, 2016, with their hard-hitting title track named “Fire Truck”. The group at the time had seven members. The members Taeil, Taeyong, Yuta, Jaehyun, Winwin, Mark, and Haechan came in strong, shocking us all with their singing, rapping, and dancing. With Johnny, Doyoung, and Jungwoo joining later and Winwin joining WayV, it made the nine-member group that is seen today. They are still out releasing fantastic Pop/R&B songs with their latest album being earlier this year. This song introduced us to the NCT 127 that we know and love today. It was an amazing debut to see and left us all excited for more of NCT 127.

“Movie Star” - CIX

“She’s a movie, movie star (star).” These are lyrics that many of us know, and it comes from the song “Movie Star” by C9 Entertainment boy group CIX. The group debuted on July 23, 2019, and many of us have been playing this song on repeat since then. The song was smooth and stuck the pop roots, while still incorporating R&B as well. The group has five members in total. The members are; BX, Seunghun, Yonghee, Bae Jinyoung, and Hyunsuk. It was exciting to watch the debut of CIX. This song is addictive and is always talked about when it comes to top-tier debuts. They came into the scene ready to capture all of our attention and they did. This debut is iconic and deserves to be talked about. It is definitely on many of our playlists.
