K-pop is growing exponentially, with new releases coming out daily, and while some song titles may be a bit cliche, others are truly unique and stand out from the crowd.
Today, we'll explore a song title that is anything but cliche yet has been used four times in the past two decades. Each rendition is unique, and if you're a long-time K-pop fan, you'll surely feel the generational divide as you recognize the song based on the era you were living in.
So, let's take a deeper look at the "Ring My Bells" of k-pop, and make sure to let us know which version YOUR favorite is!
Dynamic Duo - Ring My Bell (2004)
Released in 2004, this was part of Dynamic Duo's first album and, of course - the beginning of a legacy. This song was bopping in the streets of Korea and showed a different side of Korean Hip Hop. The response? Everyone loved the song. The song charted #37 in the 2004 Yearly Charts in Melon and is still widely remembered and loved up to this day.
TWO-X - Ring Ma Bell (2013)
This song wasn't a #1 track or anything, but there are fans that definitely do remember TWO-X and their song "Ring Ma Bell," which actually performed pretty well on the charts. TWO-X was in the same company as MBLAQ, and they were often called the sister group of MBLAQ. "Ring Ma Bell" was highly addicting, and it definitely has that 2013 vibe in there, so fans and netizens had high hopes for this group; however, TWO-X pretty much never promoted again after this song.
Girls' Day - Ring Ma Bell (2015)
Many modern k-pop fans think of Girls' Day's "Ring Ma Bell" when they think of that song title. And they completely have a reason to! Released in the summer of 2015 as part of their second full-length album, this song was HOT in the charts, and everyone was super excited for Girls' Day's return after nearly one year. The four ladies were able to show off their vocal skills and their dancing skills through this fun summer track!
