They are NOT band as per se.
They are artists under Same company calls Fluxus.
These singers are w/ emphasis on singing & writing their own songs
These three video clips was just an idea from the company
About end Oct, there is a special documentary in KBS World specifying on K-Pops
( those marvelous dancing & hot MTV ones ...)
What I hv learnt in that special programme is the whole package,
inclusive songs, lyrics, dance chron, MTV style etc etc
IS done / tactically managed & marketed by a Big teams of professionals, multi-nationals in fact ( i.e. Not just Korean) is recruited by the Entertainment Companies to do their pro works.
Songs are Not written by the Artists, Lyrics hs nothing to do w/ the singing groups feels or ideas ...
In fact, songs & lyrics Are pre-written and then,
the groups of panel judges will ASSIGN TO whichever groups / bands whose they think will make a HIT of that song & MTV video ...
The whole thing Emphasis is making a HIT !!!
Top graded marketing tactics & executions ...
Then, the question to myself after watching that KBS ,
Is there anything left wrt artist own creativeness in the songs & the feels ?? For K-pop !
... My answer ? No !

The thing is : we have to probably reluctantly accept the fact that "music"Is now functioning more as a media of promotion than a literacy itself - as opposwd to what we grew up with!
