SM Entertainment has announced the formation of a "SuperM" style group, this time with top female idols!
Back in August 2019, SM Entertainment announced the formation of a new boy group formed from members of SHINee, EXO, and NCT. The group called SuperM debuted later that year with SHINee's Taemin, EXO's Baekhyun and Kai, and NCT's Taeyong, Mark, Ten, and Lucas.
At midnight on December 27, 2021, SM Entertainment announced that a girl group in a similar style will be formed.
Girls On Top (GOT) is a new project that will feature female SM Entertainment artists joining forces for different units.
The first unit is GOT the beat, consisting of BoA, SHINee's Sian Girls' Generation's Taeyeon and Hyoyeon, Red Velvet's Seulgi and Wendy, and aespa's Karina and Winter.
The group will hold a special performance on January 1, 2022 at SMTOWN's upcoming free online concert and release their first song on January 3 at 6 p.m. KST.
Stay tuned for updates!
USERNAME: Wow this combo is just the best. They look promising.
USERNAME: Oh my god, WHAT A FIRE LINEUP, they're all aces and BoA???? Are u kidding me, she's a literal legend I can't wait to see her perform with the girls 😭😭😭
USERNAME: The fact that people are dragging this group for having 8 members and using GOT as an acronym for Girls on Top is ridiculous. People will drag SM Entertainment down for literally anything nowadays. Touch some grass, people.
USERNAME: THIS IS GONNA BE LE-GEN-DA-RY! I CAN'T WAIT OMGGG! MY FAVES ALL TOGETHER! GIRLS ON TOP! ❤❤❤
USERNAME: Unlike SuperM, Girls On Top will be a rotational project. "GOT the beat" is the name of the first unit of Girls On Top.
So basically, Girls On Top isn't just the female counterpart to SuperM, it's the female SuperM + NCT but with existing female SM artists.
