Super Junior's Kyuhyun took a new challenge as a singer. On November 13, the idol star released his first ever solo album since his debut in 2006. It is notable that 6 out of 7 tracks are ballad songs because the music genre seems to be something that is improper to the cheerful and mischievous boy group. As you may know, the handsome member Kyuhyun dressed up as a woman and showed special performance at the group's concert and SMTOWN's concert, showing off his talent as an entertainer.
Well, Kyuhyun made a debut as a solo singer with his ballad album anyway, and to tell the conclusion first, he has been reborn as a "prince of ballad".
There have been many Kpop singers who were called "prince of ballad" or "king of ballad", such as Shin Seung Hoon, Cho Sung Mo, and Sung Si Kyung. Through his first solo album Kyuhyun proved that he has more than enough talent as a ballad singer to succeed his competent senior ballad singers. I can say it's a rediscovery of Kyuhyun.
Actually, there are three requirements for "price of ballad". Those are singing ability, expressiveness, and characteristic voice tone. Ballad singers, who usually stand still and sing lyrical songs on stage, have to appeal to the public mind only with their singing ability and expressiveness. However, there are not a few Korean singer who meet these two requirements. Among them, those who have characteristic and attractive voice tone can achieve recognition as a "prince of ballad", just like Shin Seung Hoon, Cho Sung Mo, Sung Si Kyung, and Kyuhyun.
The title track is 'At Gwanghwamun'.(Actually, the song was originally composed for Super Junior-K.R.Y's new album)
Gwanghwamun is the main and largest gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, while the gate has gone through multiple periods of destruction and disrepair as a landmark and symbol of Seoul's long history as the capital city during the Joseon Dynasty. Anyway, the gate is a popular place where lovers come on dates in Korea, and the song is about parting and memories.
The song is a typical ballad music, but it's not prosaic at all. With his sweet voice and competent singing skill, Kyuhyun expresses lyrical mood of the song well. His vocal performance is very impressive because he maintains optimum level of his emotions throughout the song.
'At Gwanghwamun', which seems to be the best song for autumn, topped various online music charts.
At the showcase event held right after the release of the album, Kyuhyun said, "I've prepared for the album for about 2 years. At a get-together of SM entertainment, Lee Soo Man told that it's time for me to release my solo album. I had to manage a series of tight schedules, but it was really happy to release my own album."
Super Junior's Lee Teuk and Ryeowook, and TVXQ's Max Changmin also attended the event and sent out cheers to their friend Kyuhyun, while Kyuhyun stated, "Actually, I didn't tell the Super Junior members that I was preparing for my solo album because I thought that they, especially Yesung, would be jealous of me. However, after releasing the album, all the Super Junior members offered their congratulations to me and told me that they love me. Kangin said I should not ignore him even if I make a huge success with my solo album."
'My thoughts, Your memories' is a meaningful track to Kyuhyun because he composed the song, and his friend TVXQ's Changmin wrote the lyrics. The singer performed the song for the first time at Super Junior's concert held in Seoul last September, while the melody and lyrics of the song is quite impressive. Well, I hope he will grow steadily as a singer-song writer.
"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
Dynamic Duo released its new album. The Korean hip hop duo that consists of Choiza and Gaeko is regarded as the representative hip hop artist in Korea, while the two met in the 6th grade of elementary school and have a long standing history of being friends. Choiza and Gaeko started to work together through an underground hip hop scene named CB Mass and then came to establish Dynamic Duo in 2003. Well, the duo's new album 'A Giant Step' includes two tracks, 'AEAO' and 'Animal', while the album really shows a giant step because it was co-produced by world famous hip hop artist DJ Premier, who has worked with popular stars such as Jay Z, Kanye West, The Black Eyed Peas, and Maroon 5. Celebrating its releasing new album, Dynamic Duo held a press conference with DJ Premier in Seoul, but all the people's concerns were centered on Choiza's scandal with f(x)'s Sulli. At the press conference, Choiza didn't talk about the scandal at all, b
As you know, Kpop girl group members look so innocent and cute. We usually describe them as 'fairy'. Then, how about their feet? It seems that they have tiny lovely feet. Well, what do you think? Let's see the shoe sizes of Kpop female idols. Sooyoung has the biggest feet among Girls' Generation's members. Girls' Generation: Soo Young(Big foot) / Sunny, Jessica, Hyo Yeon(Small foot) Soo Young has the biggest feet among Girls' Generation(SNSD) members. It is 245mm. Is there anybody who are diapponted because Soo Young has too big feet? Actually, she is the tallest member too. She is 170cm tall. Let's make a comparison between Soo Young and Tae Yeon. Tae Yeon's shoe size is 240mm and she is 162cm tall. Yoona, Seo Hyun and Yuri's shoe sizes are also 240mm. Three other members have the smallest feet among SNSD's members. Sunny, Jessica and Hyo Yeon's shoe sizes are all the same as 225mm to 230mm. Does it fit your expectation?
Have you watched “We Got Married”? As you know, the program is about male and female stars who entered their imaginary married life. Well, some of you may wonder if the couple's love for each other is real. Let's talk about the truth about “We Got Married.” Is WGM Scripted? Before filming the program, the production crew delivers scripts to the cast. However, the scripts of “We Got Married” are totally different from those of dramas or movies. The scripts of “We Got Married” do not have any detailed words. They just include general explanation of situation. For example, “It’s the day you move into your new apartment,” “It’s the day you introduce your wife to your friends,” etc. On the basis of the scripts, the cast prepares for clothes, accessories and more. And during filming the program, the production crew occasionally intervenes in the couple’s dating because the young cast who is unused to a real variety show such as SHINee's Taemin and APink's Naeun needs
Goo Hara, a female k-pop star who has achieved tremendous things as a member of popular girl group Kara, is having a hard time. You know, she is currently being investigated for an assault case, and it seems both Goo Hara and her ex-boyfriend Choi Jong Bum, a handsome hair designer who is known as "Yoo Ah-in of Cheongdam-dong", are responsible for causing bodily harm to each other. Goo Hara got bruises all over her body, while the hair designer had scars on her face. But what's even more shocking is that the ex-boyfriend threatened to leak a sex tape with the k-pop idol in it. He threatened to upload footage of their intimate moments on the web as revenge porn following their 30-minute fight. Even though his lawyer stated that there were no such threats made and that filming the sex tape was Goo Hara’s idea to begin with, the statement doesn't sound so reliable because the ex-boyfriend had contacted Dispatch and suggested that he has information worthy of
