エムアイビー / 엠아이비
M.I.B were a rap group working inside Korean pop rather than an idol group with rappers in it.
Last updated:
5Zic, Kangnam, Young Cream and SIMS were each introduced through solo releases before the group debuted, and Kangnam later became a television fixture in Japan.
Come here if you follow Korean rap and want the point where it overlapped with the idol industry.

Follow a few songs from the starting point to the group's current sound.
G.D.M MVG.D.M is the debut and the roughest, most direct thing in the catalogue.
Celebrate MVCelebrate is the bright single-era song and the best way to hear Kangnam sing.
Chisa Bounce MVChisa Bounce is the catchiest of the late songs and the clearest blend of rap and pop.Verified English shopping links are not yet available.
5Zic, Kangnam, Young Cream and SIMS debuted from Jungle Entertainment in October 2011 as a 4-member act. The name M.I.B stands for Most Incredible Busters and the fandom is called Busterz. For 1 week before the debut each member released solo footage, and only then did the group itself appear with G.D.M, so the individual voices and personalities were carved out before the collective face. Kangnam is also known for television work in Japan, giving the group a footing in both Korea and Japan.
To listen in, first check the rawness and drive of the debut song G.D.M, then follow Only Hard For Me and Nod Along from 2012 for the breadth of melody and hooks that go beyond rap. The genre tags read K-hip hop, Dance Pop and Rap, and the trick was keeping catchy hooks alongside a rap-centred axis. Dash in 2013 brings the aggressive, hip-hop heavy face to the front.
Chisa Bounce in 2014 swung the other way toward something catchy and bright, leaving an expression unlike the early years. Worry About Yourself followed in 2015, after which the number of public videos is limited. In the order G.D.M, Nod Along, Chisa Bounce, you pass the rough debut period, the hooks of the middle years and the pop landing of the later ones.
Editors' take G.D.M / Nod Along / Chisa Bounce — a 4-piece from Jungle Entertainment whose turn from early sharpness to later catchiness comes through in 3 songs.
No. 194 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 92%)
The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
