We Might Lose a K-Pop Feminist Icon

I'm going to Miss (y)A

We Might Lose a K-Pop Feminist Icon
K-Pop Wikia

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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
