New Curvy girl Group

It seems as the Korean music industry has a fine set of rules that must be followed if a group is to succeed. The girls must be pretty, have a bit of talent, and have perfect thin bodies. But a new girl group is going against the rules.

Piggy Doll, comprised of Lee Ji-yeon, Kim Min-sun, and Park Ji-eun, is a new girl group that has gone against the rules. The most obvious difference between Piggy Dolls and other girl groups is their size, these girls have curves and their hoping that they can break barriers image.

Doll is able to represent the average woman who doesn't look like the singers they see on TV all the time. Hopefully this group will be able to open doors for more artists who have amazing voices but don't have the "ideal image" that is so heavily promoted now.

So far, netizens seem to like them. Comments on Youtube, twitter, and other sites are praising the girls for their courage and praising them for their voice. One of them goes to write,

It's good to have outer appearance but the talent is more important. You're gonna promote a girl group who only have pretty faces & good bodies but they can't sing or dance? These girls are the best out of all the rookies I've seen so far since 2010. .
One thing that I do not like about this group is their name. It seems insulting to the girls and I'd wish their label would change it. But I guess it has helped lead to their exposure. If I hadn't seen the name, I probably would have never checked them out. What do you think about the group?
