[K-Pop alert.]
So. To cut a long story short, a new K-Pop boy group debuted today under Stardom Entertainment (Managing EvoL and former label for Block B) with 13 members in it. Yes, thirteen. Oh boy, prepare for all the fanwar comparisons between them with Super Junior and EXO. The group name is Topp Dogg, double 'p's and 'g's everyone (not to be mistaken with Top Dog; an American rapper.)
I don't do a complete profile of boygroups and the last time I did was two years ago, about One Direction ahaha but I'm seizing this rare opportunity since it's so hard to find Topp Dogg's profile for now plus I might get a lot of views for my blog. They debuted with Say it (Mallohae). The music video was only released 15 hours ago but it has attracted a staggering amount of views with over 70,000 views for now. Wow. It is now the number 1 popular post on Allkpop. If you haven't seen their video, check it out!
0:14 - B-Joo /0:42 - P-Goon/ 0:48 - Kidoh/ 1:03 - A-Tom/ 1:16 - Seogoong /1:19 - Nakta /1:26 - Hansol (Black cap.)/ 1:44 - Honjoon /1:55 - Jenissi/ 2:08 - Yano/
2:19 -Sangdo/ 2:26 - Gohn /3:10 - Xero
There's plenty of autotune used here, especially in the singing parts so I can't judge how good their singing is yet. You cannot deny though, this song is good. The chorus is catchy and the dance was pleasant to watch (especially during the chorus; HAIRFLIPS). The rappers are good. Now, let's meet the members (some information is still unavailable)!
P.S: If you're too lazy to watch all the videos I strongly suggest you watch Xero, Hansol, and B-Joo's ones.

In a nutshell, all of them are pretty talented boys. Who's your favorite member? I'm having a hard time deciding whether I like Xero, Hansol or B-Joo the most hahaha. Some people are also comparing them to Bangtan Boys/BTS and B.A.P because of the style. Well, some of the members are even supposed to debut in BTS so- Did you know that someone made a joke that the fans should be called "Bitches" AHAHA.
Is it just me or do some of the members here look like members from other groups. In the teaser picture, A-TOM looks like Tao hahaha but in the video he looks like Ilhoon? Hojoon looks like Key. Hansol/Xero looks like G-Dragon in his Heartbreaker era. Teehee.
