As you well know, there's been a flood of girl groups and a small wave of boy groups who debuted last year and early this year. Mainly: 2ne1, 4minute, Secret, HAM, JQT, BEAST, MBLAQ, ZE:A, F.Cuz, Rainbow, f(x), CNBlue, etc. etc. etc.
If you add those, and the active ones last year and this year, your fingers would run out from counting.
There are 4 music shows per week in South Korea. Quite impressive actually but what's this? There's too many idol's already that all of them can't fit in 1 show anymore?
Yes, apparently so.
Especially this month.

THAT'S A TOTAL OF 32 IDOLS THIS MONTH OF MAY!
Now seriously, do you think they can fit in an hour and a half music show? I DOUBT IT.
Now, There is a new system that Idols and Artist's gets to do 2 shows or 3 most likely for continuing artists and comeback performances are prioritized and showed on all 4 shows.
Just Like BEAST and ZE:A, they performed in M!countdown but they were MIA on Music Bank but they will be appearing in Music Core. Lee Hyori also did not appear in m!countdown while Rain got to perform on all shows.
I guess the music industry is getting A LITTLE TOO CROWDED!
Especially next week with MBLAQ, 4minute and Wonder Girls comeback as well as Seo In Young's solo debut and others are still going to announce.
But there are those who are avoiding this over crowding as well.
Like Ivy, Son Dam Bi, 2ne1 and Se7en. They have pushed their comebacks on June//July. Probably the safest choice.
But what's this, FANS ARE GETTING CONFUSED WHOM TO SUPPORT AS WELL?
As you well knew, that Rain, Lee Hyori made their comebacks at the same time, Fans who loved both were pretty much divided as well, but then there came 2pm that changed everything and now is on top.
Super Junior has comeback and everyone knows they're the new crowd favorite. But will stay to be the crowd fave when Wonder Girls and SS501 are going to come back as well.
Talk about major album shopping!
Who are you supporting the most in this May Mayhem?
