Like a "g". Gugudan means times tables in korean.

Ahh, okay. I'm glad it makes sense and doesn't look/sound as odd as some other groups I've come across recently.

times table o.o

So, gx9 could mean girl times 9, cause there's 9 girls, but also since g times 9 = g9 which is gugu, short for gugudan, so it means times table xD

inb4 the fandom is named "Factors" hahaha

Got the chance to hear/watch their debut song. I like cutesy songs, but this one didn't hit me. ^^;

Also, it was confirmed today that Yeonjung joined WJSN. Happy for her, but wow. @_@

Yeah, Wonderland was ehh.

Yeah, I'm happy she's out of the dungeon, but this exactly isn't the ideal way for her to debut, but this is really the only plausible way she could've in Starship. 13th constellation member, yikes xD I don't know anything about WJSN but I heard they already have tons of vocals and people are worried she won't be able to shine with a dozen other girls there. Hopefully things will work out fine for her, her talent must not be wasted!

Sub-unit release is on the 9th.



Five of them are under 18 so I'm not real thrilled with this concept. :| The demo is good; too bad it didn't go to another group.

The song is really catchy, their voices are great even after losing their main vocals, and the MV story was cute (helping a friend get back at a guy who snubbed her) though that last part might just be me and my Yoojung biasedness haha It did help soften the concept a bit though. Everyone looked really pretty, I was surprised at how much Sohye has transformed, she's gotten really pretty, and Pinky's chorus high notes caught me off guard so much, it was so amazing.

THIS is a song, maybe not the most appropriate concept, but nonetheless a fantastic song with great vocals to perform it.
