A sexy concept is a realistic marketing strategy for K-Pop stars to fascinate fans. From legendary sexy star Lee Hyori to rising sexy star 4minute's Hyuna, there are many Kpop idols who won success with sexy concepts.
However, K-Pop stars began to evolve. Recently, K-Pop idols without sexy concpet are on rise. Let me take a few examples.
A five-member girl group Crayon Pop made a viral hit with its song 'Bar Bar Bar'. As you can see on the YouTube channels, there are numerous versions of cover dance videos for the song's choreography '5 straight engine dance'. 'Bar Bar Bar' and the girl group have enjoyed incredible popularity over several months, but there was no sexy concept. Wearing cute costumes and helmets, the girls have performed the song in a dinky way! As a new K-Pop girl group, they proved that it is possible to win success without any sexy concept.
2NE1's CL is another example of K-Pop female star who promote herself without a sexy concept. You may tilt your head sideways. Yes, she is hot and sexy. But she does not stick to it. She has something different from other sexy K-Pop female idols like After School, Secret or Kara. CL is cool rather than lovely. She prefers to be called "Bad Girl", not "Sexy Girl". There has been no female idols in K-Pop history who names herself as "The Baddest Female". Pursuing hip hop-based music, and with a intense rapping, CL has her own characteristic colors. Without a sexy concept, she succeeded in constructing image as a female professional.
A Pink is a notable girl group too. Have you heard about Fin.K.L or S.E.S? Yes, the two are the legendary K-Pop girl groups who were the 90's ultimate super stars. A Pink is reminiscent of Fin.K.L and S.E.S. Without powerful and sexy choreography, the group shows off pure and innocent charm, wearing floaty chiffon skirts. A Pink's latest song 'No No No' that maximizes the members' image of purity has stayed at the top of the various K-Pop charts for more than 3 months.
I asked some K-Pop producers why they began to take off sexy concepts. One of them said "Some fans are tired of the Kpop idols' sexy performance, because there are so many K-Pop stars appeal sexually."
Yes, it is like economic law. Supply and demand determine prices. An excessive supply of the sexy concept has dropped the price of girl groups with sexy concepts. Within a few years, thousands of nameless but sexy Kpop girl groups have sprung up everywhere.
One more thing. The wheel of fortune turns and Some trends are disinterred from retro style. As you see in the case of A Pink, its senior groups Fin.K.L and S.E.S's styles that dominated the 90's can come to the forefront again in later years.
Oh, of course, the age of sexy girl groups would come here again soon or later because there still are many girl group members who stick to their sexy concepts. Representatively, 4minute's Hyuna and SISTAR's Hyolyn! Check out their sexy performance below.
"Do k-pop idols really sing live? It's not an easy question to answer because the answer to the question could be both yes and no. Well, I want to talk about details about k-pop idols' live performance on the stage. Have you heard about MR, AR, LMR, and LAR? If you get to know about these terms, you will be able to have a good understanding of k-pop idols' live performance." MR(Music Recorded) Basically, MR means instrumental accompaniment. Have you been to karaoke? MR is like karaoke music which doesn’t contain the sound of singer’s voice. However, there is no k-pop idol who uses such a clear MR, while all the k-pop idols’ MR contains sounds of their voices. Before performing their songs on k-pop chart shows, k-pop idols should make their MR, and the way how they make MR is to decrease the sound volume of their voices in original music, while keeping the sound volume of instrumental accompaniment as it is. So, to k-pop idols, singing to MR doesn’t j...
1988–2009: Early life and debut G-Dragon began his career at age five as part of the group Little Roo Ra. After releasing a Christmas album, the group's contract was terminated by their record company, which came as a shock to G-Dragon. After then, he was scouted by SM Entertainment while on a ski trip with his family. He was a trainee under the record label for five years, specializing in dance before he left, unclear about what he wanted to do. In third grade, G-Dragon was introduced to the American rap group Wu-Tang Clan by a friend. Inspired by their music, he developed an interest in rapping and began taking classes. Under People Crew's tutelage, he participated in the release of the Korean hip-hop album Flex in 2001, becoming the youngest Korean rapper at just 13 years old. Although he wrote his own lyrics, he admitted that his English was weak and the story behind the lyrics was just another typical "I'm young, but I'm the best." Additionall...
