Brave Girls get 1st concert and lightstick 10 YEARS after debut, fans hail ‘Queens era’

The chart reversal of their 2017 song 'Rollin' has led to Brave Girls' newfound fame

2021 has been a year of comebacks for a lot of iconic artists. We had second-gen groups like T-ara, 2PM, 2AM, SHINee, CNBLUE and F.T.Island releasing new music after a long time. We also got reunions from inactive or disbanded groups like After School, Girls’ Generation and Wanna One. And now we are getting chart reversals that pretty much brought back Brave Girls from the brink of disbandment. Their newfound fame has now gifted fans with the group's first concert and lightstick.

'Brave Girls is a second-gen girl group that debuted in 2011. Due to the strong competition from the likes of miss A, Wonder Girls, Sistar, 2NE1 and more during that period, Brave Girls got the short end of the stick with other issues like members leaving, long hiatuses, funding and promotion problems. Fortunately, in 2021, the girl group saw a chart reversal of their 2017 song ‘Rollin’. A popular Korean YouTuber, Viditor, posted a compilation of Brave Girls performing the song in February 2021, and in the following days it blew up with the song getting noticed by the general public.
