Girl Story wants to become like 2NE1 and T-ara

While ‘kid idols’ such as i13 and GP Basic have created a buzz in the past for having elementary school-aged members, none have had much success. Girl Story is yet another group of ‘kid idols,’ however, they wish to be known as ‘upright idols.’

While most other students attended tutoring sessions after school, Girl Story members practiced and even excluded provocative dances and outfits. Lately, Girl Story members are on their winter vacations and are overjoyed because they have the time to devote themselves to what they love to do.

There is one particular difference between Girl Story and other ‘kid idols.’ Girl Story members Kim Hye In (9), Kim Yuri (10), Kim Chae Young (11), and Lee Yoon Jung (9) were all originally child actresses. Three of their members starred in the SBS drama ‘Ja Myung Go,’ thereby giving Girl Story yet another nickname, ‘child actor idols.’

Girl Story chose 2NE1 and T-ara as their role models in the music industry. Like 2NE1 and T-ara, they want to make a mark in the history of K-pop. When the members were individually asked regarding their favorite singers, they blushed and expressed their personal favorites,

“I (Chae Young) like Baek Ji Young unni. She sings well, is good hearted, and dances well too. Hye In [aka 'Little Jiyeon'] wants to be a great singer like T-ara’s Jiyeon unni. Yoon Jung thinks Nam Gyuri unni is great. I (Yuri) really like SHINee’s Taemin oppa.“

Guess we’ll have to wait and see if Girl Story will be able to develop into a power girl group like 2NE1 or T-ara.
