If you have been a Kpop stan for at least 2 years now, you should be used to see headlines and news articles about 2nd gen girl groups disbanding. It’s a sad fact but most 2nd gen girl groups are slowly (or quickly) disappearing ever since 2016 (Kara and 4minute kinda started the disband trend).
Rainbow was unfortunately one of those groups that suffered from the same fate and eventually disbanded in 2016. After a 7 year long career (despite being inactive for 2 of those years, f*ck you dsp), all 7 members decided to leave DSP Media and therefore Rainbow was disbanded. However, the members prove that they have one of the strongest bond of all Kpop as they shared photos of them getting together almost all the time and all 7 girls still gather around every year for their anniversary.
And this year, they took a step further and decided to do a full on comeback with a special album to commemorate their 10th anniversary.
For the special album, they not only gave us 1 song, but 2! Yeah they’re not the “Mach” or “A” bops but it’s an anniversary song what do you expect? It’s a miracle that we got a song at all. The song is cute and definitely heart warming if you know them from before and know how much they haven been through as a group. The MV is particularly touching with scenes of the members doing their own things but then gather together on stage.
I have known Rainbow since their debut back in 2009 but I didn’t fully appreciate them until earlier this year when I had a marathon of their discography. So I basically stan them after they had disbanded and I still managed to experience a comeback. I know a lot of After School stans can’t say that.
Anyway, this reunion was honestly everything. Seeing the members together again performing and their visit to IDOL RADIO brought tiny tears to my eyes. It’s just so rare for 2nd gen groups to have a reunion like this and it makes my 2nd gen couldn’t be any happier.
LONG LIVE RAINBOW! I would still be here for their 20th anniversary yup idc idc
probably gonna have another post for their 10th anniversary where i rank their songs but maybe if i’m not too lazy idk bye
