The 2010’s idol industry has been called the Idol Warring States period due to its high pace of new groups forming and disbanding with increased market competition. It was also a time of experimentation, pushing the boundary of what idol music sounds or looks like, as idols fought to stand out among the rest. The 2010’s saw idols expand their reach internationally through animation and international collaboration. Join Tassie and Lydia review girl group hits of the 2010’s!
