What happened GLAM, how's it going everyone?
I'm Internet Nathan and welcome back to my what happened series talking about k-pop groups or artists that have disappeared in this episode
We're talking about glam
glam was the first and probably last girl group big hit will ever
Create before we label glam as strictly a big hit girl group
It was a collaboration effort between big head and source music in the time when BTS was being formed
So it was a glam made 5 member girl group
They had a short career with a surprising twist ending before debuting glam had some interesting
Pre-debut activities such as a single with the glam member Dahee who was the voice of the Vocaloid called?
See you yeah, like Hatsune Miku
but the story even gets weirder as Jimin, Jungkook, j-hope and suga were backup dancers in a
Performance with C.U. the Vocaloid of the soon to be member of glam Dahee
He that took unnecessary amount of steps
That was technically the only sort of collaboration and meeting between labelmates BTS in glam
But I'm sure BTS met glam before it knew about them
they're coming from the same agency in 2012 glam made their official debut into k-pop with this single party XXO,
Hip-hop centered girl group reminiscent of BTS in the early days and already there was turmoil in the beginning of 2013
It was announced that member Trinity would be leaving the group
The reason for her departure was not made clear and it was believed that she had no desire to be a celebrity anymore
but a popular rumor was she was a
Saseng fan of super Junior's Leeteuk one story is trinity went as far as posing as the daughter of the CEO
probably of big hit entertainment to try and meet Leeteuk Trinity also had a history of being aggressive and
Consistently swearing. That's where she got the nickname cussing granny already
We're seeing warning signs in 2013 after the loss of trinity glam continued on with the second single. I like that
Still going with the hip-hop and powerful choreography a
second comeback of the year was in store for glam with this song in front of the mirror a different pace than what we usually
See glam do like I said in the beginning their career is pretty short
They only had three technically releases before it all came crumbling down
But before we get into the heart problem why glam came crashing down?
Glam was actually getting popular pretty steadily sales were growing up every comeback. Not really topping charts
But they kind of were on the way to doing that and now the reason why big hit will never debut a girl group
again on September 2nd
2014 popular actor Lee byung-hun made a report to Gangnam police station claiming two women were trying to blackmail him
One of the two women was revealed to be glam member Kim Dahee the deal was in exchange for 5
Billion won which is about 4.2 million dollars
They wouldn't release compromising video of him online. Now. The video isn't exactly what you think
Apparently Kim da hae and the other woman who turned out to be a model Lee Chi Yong were with the actor Lee byung-hun
Drinking while they recorded the conversation as Lee byung-hun made sexual jokes
Now whether the jokes were general or about them
We don't really know but the two girls scheme didn't go as planned
When they were found out both women even tried making a run for it to avoid prosecution
By flying to Europe as it goes, they didn't make it and the Seoul district court found glam member Kim Dahee
Hay guilty of attempted theft and sentenced Kim de head to one year in prison
While the other woman involved received one year in two months
Kim da hae would ask for leniency and the judge resented her to 1 year imprisonment with two years probation
But the same man who they were trying to extort
Would be her saving grace as he didn't want her to receive a harsh punishment
And he came to hae was able to bail out on
$20,000 bail on the same day big hit announced that the group glam would be
Disbanding with the statement saying with one of the members involved in a legal
controversy the agency no longer finds it possible to keep this group going and decided to release the members as
requests and so for the actions of Kim Dahee
the whole group was punished and broken up till this day big hit has never debuted girl group and silently vowed to
Not have female trainees ever again. Now, is that a bit extreme for big hit to never accept female trainees after this?
It was a terrible experience
but
Should big hit actually accept female trainees. Is it time going back to the story?
It wasn't all bad as in 2013 BTS debuted and we know how that went
And today Kim Dahee is a part-time model and Africa TV BJ
Which is basically like a streamer now that it has been over five years since the whole scandal should big hit try
again, what I'm saying is shoot big hit start accepting female trainees and
Try again for another girl group. Now. I know that they had one of the worst experiences
Ever and it just so happened to be a girl group, but I don't think they should let one terrible experience dictate
You know future experiences. I think they should but will they I
Seriously doubt it managing
BTS is already a handful with how successful they're getting and they're getting love calls from all over the world and now
txt the new boy group is brand new and so
There is no future where I see bighit attempt to debut a new girl group probably ever again
And
That's it for me guys. I hope you enjoyed this one, Glam is like one of those wise tales
You tell new kpop fans that come into kpop about did you know that big hit used to have a girl group or what happened?
to them
Watch my video. Now. How do you feel about the whole glam situation how I was handled?
And do you think that big hit should try again?
They may be a little bit rusty as far as like managing girl groups
But I'm sure they're gonna go the same method of how they, you know, brought up BTS stick with that hip-hop style
or maybe
Just go with the trend go with what's working now with girl groups and try to make it your own
I would be very interested to see how big hit would handle a girl group
But like I said, don't hold your breath
