Which girl group idols speak in dialects the most?

A recent online community board post titled, “Girl group speaking in dialect” has been receiving attention.

The post ranked current girl group idols based on how much they spoke in a nonstandard, regional accent. The top level included After School‘s Lizzy,  A Pink‘s Eunji, and Dal Shabet‘s Subin.

The author wrote about Lizzy, “Gets loved for speaking in dialect on talk shows. Captured all the male fans with her aegyo-filled dialect.” For Eunji, the author wrote, “Currently rising star in dialect,” and for Subin: “Urban visual, but mouth is country.”

The middle level consisted of f(x)‘s Sulli and SECRET‘s Sunhwa. The author explained for Sulli, “Occasionally speaks in dialect for TV. Intelligent for knowing how to use the male hearts that go crazy for dialect,” and for Sunhwa: “Dialect pops up during conversations or when she gets flustered.”

Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon and T-ara‘s Hyomin were placed in the lower level because they are both from provinces that use a nonstandard accent, but they rarely speak in dialect.

After viewing the post, netizens commented, “Lizzy is the most charming,” “Who’s the girl with Gangnam style visuals and speaks in dialect,” and “Dialect equals Lizzy, Subin, and Eunji.”

Dal Shabet wraps up two month promotions of ‘Bang Bang’

Girl group Dal Shabet has concluded their two months of promotion for their 1st full length album, ‘Bang Bang‘.

The girls held their good-bye stage on the July 28th broadcast of MBC‘s 2012 London Olympics Speical of ‘Music Core‘ with “Mr. Bang Bang“.

Their promotions for this album were more significant as it included their new member Woohee, who filled the spot of departed member Viki. Born in 1991, Woohee was introduced earlier this year and also received much attention as it was revealed that she was related to actress Han Hye Rin. Despite being the new addition, Woohee was able to quickly adjust into the group and proved herself as a talented member, possessing outstanding singing and dancing abilities.

Meanwhile, the girls will be taking a short break and focus on individual activities before they indulge in their next promotions, with a new album this winter.
