Feature [13] GP Basic

Hello everyone, this is a review that has been a long time coming. I'll be talking about a group that had an anti club even before they debut. A group that has constantly been under-appreciated simply because of one factor, age. I think you should have by now figured out who i'm talking about, yep it's GP BASIC.

MEMBERS:

Zion (Vocals)

Leah (Leader, Lead Vocals)

Trinity (Rapper, Main Vocals)

Amet (Sub-Vocals)

Mui (Sub-Vocals, Rap)

Janey (Maknae, Rapper)

Ex-member

Hannah (Leader, Main Vocal) 

BIO: GP Basic is a six member girl group who debut in 2010. They made noise in the music industry for having the average age of 15. Maknae Janey was just 12 (13 in Korea's age system) when they debut and was actually banned from performing on some of the music programs until she turned 13. Even though the girls have had doubters from the start they have worked hard and proven they do have talent. The girls have managed to gain fans, they have even managed to last longer in an industry that often sees a group fade out after just one year in the music industry.

INTERESTING FACTS: It really bothered me that a group that clearly has talent was receiving such hatred simply because of age. So I decided I would check and see if there was anyone else that debut at a young age without receiving hatred.

List of ages when they debut:

15&: Jimin and Yerin were 15.

Apink: Hayoung was 15.

Teen Top: Changjo and Ricky was 15.

Chocolat: Tia and Melanie were 14.

C-Clown: Maru was 15.

F(x): Krystal and Sulli were 15.

SHINee: Taemin was 15.

2NE1: Minzy was 15.

TVXQ: Changmin was 15

KARA: Jiyoung was 14

BoA was only 14.

4Minute: So Hyun was 11 when she first debut with Orange and was 15 when she debut with 4Mintue.

Now I'm not saying that I think it's ok for the music industry to start pumping out young groups left and right. However I believe that people should not automatically assume that they will be bad simply because of their age. I mean seriously how is what GP Basic is doing, any different from what child actors do. Child actors are on sets for long periods of time, they have to go to events, they are also subject to public opinion, yet no one seems upset with that. Or what about kids who appear on shows like Star King. They are much younger then these girls and are applauded for appearing on a show at such a young age. GP Basic has a great deal of talent, I hope to hear more from them in the future so please support them.
