In 30 seconds: SPEED

The line-up changed enough that the membership is best read release by release, but the physical staging stayed constant.

Start here if you want boy-group performance that borrows more from stunt work than from dance.

From debut to now

  • 2012
    Reorganised from a mixed gender group into a boy group, Lovey-Dovey Plus and others show the stage just before the SPEED name.
  • 2013
    Formal activity opened with a long drama style music video, and Pain the Love of Heart left the kind of strongly narrative footage MBK was known for.
  • 2014
    Around the mini album of that period came fierce stages including acrobatics, and the performance footage is still talked about years later.
  • 2015
    With the line-up changing, activity moved on to the later mini album, where a gliding kind of performing showed the physicality of SPEED from another direction.
  • 2016
    Even after group activity ended, the rap and production of Taewoon, the acting of Sungmin and renewed attention to Don't Tease Me keep SPEED in view.

KPOP DISCOVER's SPEED note

Drama style music videos and acrobatic stages are the two poles of SPEED. The boy group made its formal debut in January 2013 with It's Over, stands in the line of Core Contents Media / MBK Entertainment, and carries a complicated run of line-up changes going back to Coed School, so following the membership song by song makes it easier to understand.

The ways in are It's Over, Don't Tease Me and What U. It's Over builds the world through a long drama music video, Don't Tease Me won fresh attention through stages that include acrobatics, and What U remains as the performance route of the later years.

There are easy ways back in at the level of individual members as well, through the rap and production of Taewoon, the singing of Jongkook and the dancing and acting of Sungmin. The group was short-lived, yet the impression left by its stage footage is unusually strong for its generation. Set It's Over beside Don't Tease Me and What U to take in the drama music video, the stage and the closing years.

Editors' take It's Over / Don't Tease Me / What U — drama style music videos and acrobatic stages in three songs, from a boy group in the MBK line.
