This Week is SPEED
So I am going to start off with SPEED, my first underrated group that I fell in love with. So please just take a minute to read this and maybe see some of their mv's. Yes?
Okay so I will introduce the group S-P-Double E-D SPEED!! (^v^)/. They were originally part of the 10 member co-ed group called Co-Ed School along with girl group 5Dolls, that debuted back in 2010. But in 2011 they split the girls into 5Dolls and the boys in 2013 SPEED, and with that Co-Ed School disbanded.
They "debuted" in 2012 with a new version of T-ara's hit song "Lovey-Dovey" called "Lovey-Dovey Plus", but it was not their "official" debut. So their "official" debut was in 2013 with "That's My Fault" and "It's Over" with both have a dance and a drama version (which the drama version of both songs were super sad. And they were based on a real life event that happened during that time). Also in that year they released another song called "Pain" which sounds a lot like Teen Top's "To You", because both songs were produce by Brave Brothers (and that is how I got into this group because I heard a mash up of both songs and well I got curious and "Look At Me Now" lol just kidding) and that was the last song they promoted that year.
And they had a year long hiatus until they came back in 2014 with "Why I'm Not" a continuous shot just like EXO "Growl". And also with "Don't Tease Me", a circus them song that is a very fun song and with very hard dance moves. In which many of the members got injured a lot during practice and even during the showcase. But they still continued to promote the song until they released "Zombie Party". Which is a fun song that you can follow along with the dance and the song is also really catchy. They only performed this song live like twice until they were getting ready to promote "Look At Me Now", a song that is also catchy and a bit harder than Zombie Party, but easier then Don't Tease Me.
Then in 2015 MBK made an announcement that Teawoo left the group to go solo, and that they are going to replace him with a new member KI-O. And after the announcement they made a comeback with "What U", that the dance includes heelys. The dance was something really different from other groups that were promoting at the time. However even with that they still not get the recognition that they disserved. At that end of the year rumors started to go around that they disbanded, because MBK removed them from the company page. But still to this day no official news that they really did disband, even after 4 of the members left the company and group.
So I hope you guys read this until the end, because they were so talented but MBK let them rot in a corner =,(
