This is Miss A.

As you can see, Miss A is a Korean Pop girl group include current members Fei, Min, and Suzy. They had a fourth member, Jia, but she left the group last year after not renewing her contract with her and Miss A's company, JYP Entertainment. Miss A has been active in music until 2016 when they made their last comeback as a foursome with their single "Only You" from their album Colors. Since then, many fans question (and wish it won't come true) if they will break up once their contracts expires by the end of this month. Despite this, Miss A was one of the girl groups who were closest to be preach feminism (or some cases girl power) in their music. Since their debut, Miss A released great music on standing up for yourself as a woman whether its in a relationship or anyone who calls a woman a "slut." While, yes, all of their songs were mostly written by men like their boss Jin-Young Park, Miss A still have great songs on being a strong woman.

I mean, who could forget the classics like "Bad Girl, Good Girl."


"On the outside, I’m a Bad Girl.

On the inside, I’m a Good Girl.

You don’t even know me well, you only look at me from the outside.

I find your gaze to be funny because you see me as a pitiful girl."

Or maybe songs that are rare to find like "I Don't Need a Man"


Boy don’t say

“I’ll take care of you, I’ll cherish you” no no

Boy don’t play

If you’re not gonna come with a serious mind

I can live well without a man

So if you’re not confident,

Don’t come to me

I don’t sell myself

Easily because

I don’t need a man I don’t need a man

Or how about their best revenge song in a break-up smash hit, "Good-bye Baby"?


There will be no whining

sound from you anymore

The snake passed the wall

and gently betrayed me

It was quite an amazing show that I watched,

even without buying a ticket

I just didn’t get this spot for free,

no. Now it’s bye bye

Or their sensual song, "Hush?"


"Stop stealing glances at me, I already caught you

Stop smiling and turn around

You’re tastier than a lollipop

I want to bite you, I want you"

So if Miss A do decide to breakup, they will join fellow K-Pop girls groups such as 4minute, Kara, Rainbow, and 2NE1 who also grace women empowerment as the next disbanded K-Pop girl group. No matter what happens, Miss A's music will live on along with their powerful message of feeling like a strong woman.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
