I reckon many of you have never heard of Crayon Pop and I don't blame you. Crayon Pop is a South Korean girl group (in other words, K-pop group), that rose to fame in June 2013 due to their viral hit BarBarBar. It was even ranked #1 on the Weekly Billboard's Korea K-pop Hot 100 chart for the first time in six weeks after its release.
Now, Lady Gaga has announced that Crayon Pop will be the opening act for her concert, 'ArtRave: The Artpop Ball' across North America from 26th June to July the 22nd.

So, why are they so popular? Well, to be honest, at first glance, I thought they were plain WEIRD. But, overtime, they are really likeable. They are nothing like a typical K-pop girl group which would normally consist of skinny girls in mini-mini-skirts or shorts. They focus more on entertainment and humour does get you more likes than just looks. Try and see for yourself! (click play)
In December, they released 'Lonely Christmas' and now in 2014, their new BarBarBar is Uh-hee. To be honest, I am not that keen on their latest release though- it is very funny but hard to listen to everyday like it's perfectly normal because it is definitely NOT NORMAL!!! However, try watching Crayon Pop TV on YouTube and it's hilarious especially when the tins try to speak English.
So what are my conclusions??
Favourite aspects: the members all look genuinely friendly and not just for the sake of the camera and they've made motorcycle helmets trendy (so cool though I wouldn't walk around wearing a helmet on the high-street. I'd probably get looks or something...)
Anyway, check out their fan club if you're interested- I'd totally recommend these girls!
