Bae Seul-ki’s Career Journey
Bae Seul-ki, Choo So-young, Oh Seung-eun were all members of the group The Red and debuted as such. However, Bae Seul-ki is the only one who can sing properly and the other two are just actresses. Even the relationship between the two of them was not very good. The Red was a three-member project girl group formed in 2005. Since it was a short-term project-type girl group, they released only one album. It was produced by Yoon Mirae and each member had a different agency. Based on Korean articles at the beginning of their debut, The Red announced that they would be active for six months. The meaning of the team’s name, The Red, which was said to be unique and strange, is said to have been created in the sense of wanting to become a team loved by the public for a long time, as the intense primary color red looks fresh anytime. Bae Seul-ki also became more popular after her appearance in the SBS Love Letter with the concept of old school (Hangul: 복고 (read: bokko)) and became the internet’s hot topic at that time. The overall concept of the album was remade, so the entire first album was a remake, and it was intended to reinterpret hit songs from the 1970s to the 80s with the hip-hop genre, which was the trend of 2005. Oh Seung-eun, was a rising star starring in the popular MBC sitcom Non-Stop 4, and the other member Choo So-young, raised her popularity after appearing in entertainment such as Kang Ho-dong’s Natural Love and Love Letter. Bae Seul-ki was the youngest member and the real newcomer. Therefore, it was Bae Seul-ki who actually led the team as a girl group. Their agency was Rosie Entertainment. During their debut, the members had a cute face and body. The fury of a country girl was added, and a lot of expectations were raised, but as long as she belonged to The Red, Bae Seul-ki’s future was slowly planned. Eventually, after receiving the news of disbandment, the other two members turned to acting careers and Oh Seung-eun married. After the group was disbanded, she started solo activities. Her solo debut song titled “Strong Woman” (Hangul: 강한 여자) that was released in 2006 is were folded within came out to a concept that totally fit with the image Bae Seul-Ki demonstrated in the existing arts, cute concept and contradictory ‘tomboy’. Besides that, the hip-hop composer, Bang Si-hyeok, made the song.
After promoting her debut song, Bae Seul-ki released another single titled “말 괄량” (Rom: malgwalyangee) which means tomboy or sassy girl. The song reached the same popularity as several other singers’ songs that were released at the same time. The single managed to get good promotion from the Korean music charts and the music video also got the highest position for three weeks. At this time, Bae Seul-ki achieved her best career in the history of being a solo artist.
As a solo artist, most of the songs and concepts Bae Seul-ki released are not good. Based on charts and ranking, they disappeared after hovering in the middle and low ranks. Songs such as “One By One” that was released in 2006 and “Come To Me” (Hangul: 다가와) in 2007, were hardly known to the public even though they worked hard on broadcasting.
Although she steadily released albums, she went to events more than appearing on broadcasts. Bae Seul-ki sometimes appeared on variety programs, but since she was originally a solo artist rather than an actress, it wasn’t even possible to come out well due to the limitation of entertainment. In addition, Bae Seul-ki was in charge of the featuring of several singers, but none of the songs were popular. On April 9th, 2009, she returned to the music industry by releasing the album titled Big Show, which was selected as the title of the best composer, Brave Brothers. Previously, only songs by new composers were selected, but now the will to give strength to the song was outstanding. However, it came out with a strange concept of singing a song by placing two bong microphones and going from side to side, and this album eventually sank with the fate of the title song. The title song was “Tiresome” feat. Jewelry’s Ha Joo-yeon (Hangul: 지겨워).
As of January 2010, the number of Daum Fan Café members exceeded 26,000. In fact, most of them are inactive, but they haven’t withdrawn. Baek Seul-ki dances a little, sings a little, but she doesn’t have any outstanding talent. It is true that as a solo singer, she lacks charisma. However, above all, the agency does not show any willingness to launch this girl. However, in the process of moving into the new agency in 2010, a problem occurred and the movie was dropped. It seems that the reason is that the film company did not properly receive the investment for a long period of time. The new agency is T Entertainment, which is the home of several popular actors, such as Park Jung-hyun, Cha Seung-won, and Yoo Ji-tae. Bae Seul-ki also sang the second opening of the animation that aired on Tooniverse. Somehow, the review was good. She also appeared in the drama titled The Greatest Love that was aired on MBC in 2011 as Han Min-a and had a small part, but since she held the key to the cause of the dismantling of the national treasure girl in the play, the part was expected to increase in the future. Then, it was revealed that there was a hidden cause there, and the amount increased. But in the end, it ended without much of it. Still, just reconfirming the fact that Bae Seul-ki is still active in the entertainment industry seems to be meaningful. Bae Seul-ki also appeared in several stage musicals, such as Lunatic (2008), and On Air Live (2010), before beginning her activities as an actress and appearing in several K-Dramas.
