🗯❕THE ALBUM !! ━ era overview 💬 %

#◜ THE BOYS' DEBUT was really something to remember. while the group hadn't gotten too much attention in the beginning , or at least , in the first 24 hours it seemed , the next day , views were coming in fast. it's still a pretty iconic debut album besides it's slow start , especially to sugarhearts , and is frequently looked back on positively.

#◜ BOY'S PLANET , THEIR COMPANY MATES , had even done a little promotional video with three of the sugar strike members ❪ginger , jaeseok , minwoo❫ on instagram. this gained sugar strike some more attention as well , as boy's planet was really in their prime from 2014 - 2017 , which sugar strike debuted right in between that time.

#◜ THE TRACKLIST is far more iconic than anything else in this era. bbusyeo is one of sugarhearts most beloved b-sides in almost any album , our summer was the first sub-unit b-side , and chewing gum is just a very cute and refreshing song as well.

#◜ SPEAKING OF REFRESHING , sugar strike starting out with a cutesy/bubblegum pop feel was just what the industry was needing. the boy's and their team obviously realized this was working out for them, which is why most of the concepts of future albums and title tracks have been along the bubblegum vibe. kiss entertainment is known for finding a genre for their groups and having that group stick to it ❪with some exceptions❫ , and it just seems to work out for them in the end.

🗯❕THE ALBUM !! ━ who owned the era? 💬 %

#◜ HARRY OWNED THIS ERA by a landslide. his lines in bbusyeo are iconic , the green hair era was talked about a lot as it's rare to see idols with such a bold hair color , and the fans fell in love with how well this concept fit him. harry also stood out a lot , with his braces , his lisp , and as mentioned before , his hair color. one of his most viewed fan cams is from a chewing gum stage , where he has a small dance break and the other members watch proudly , before joining in. it's one of the most iconic fan cams among sugarhearts.
