Are you fan of Girls' Generation? Yes, the girls are so pretty that they look like perfect dolls!
“How can I be a K-Pop star?" One of the most asked questions since I began work as a entertainment journalist. Do you want to be like Girls' Generation? Do you want to be like Super Junior? All the potential singers dream of being super stars.
Actually there are some ways to be a K-Pop star. Let's start with the application step.
The most common way to start off on a long journey to be a K-Pop star is having an audition of numerous K-Pop agencies. The agencies usually have year-round audition programs, and always pay attention to discovering a talented people.(including foreigners) You can put in an application by e-mail. Attaching a video file that shows yourself singing or dancing can be a good way to appeal to the agency.
You can also apply to TV audition programs such as Mnet's 'Super Star K' or SBS' 'Kpop Star'. In recent years, TV audition programs have been so popular in Korea. Even if you drop out of the audition, you would get an opportunity to show off your talent in front of everyone involved in K-Pop industry.
The third way of applying to K-Pop agencies is to be cast while walking on the street. Yes, it's up to the agencies, not you. Chances are slim but hey it's worth a shot if you have natural good looks.
So simple to be a K-Pop star? Haha, yes, I know it isn't. Application is just a first step. You have to pass an audition winning over a lot of competitors. Here's a tip to pass an K-Pop audition.
Of course, singing and dancing skills are fundamental requirements to be a K-Pop star. However, It's not enough. There are too many people who sing and dance well. Remember these two words. 'Scarcity' and 'Attraction'.
You have to get something different from your competitors. This is 'Scarcity'. It can be your voice or appearance. Do not be afraid to be different. Think and behave differently. K-Pop producers want a unique person.
Singling somebody out from a lot of candidates is like falling in love. When you fall in love with someone, there is no special reason. You are just attracted to him or her. You have to fascinate the judges. This is 'Attraction'. Somebody is born with attraction, but it can be acquired too. Be confident, and pay attention to what you have.
Let's talk about K-Pop queen Lee Hyori. Honestly, she is not the best singer nor the best dancer. However, she has been recognized as the best K-Pop female star for years. That is because she has the 'Scarcity' and 'Attraction'. There's no substitute for her in K-Pop industry. She is unique.
Even though you pass the audition, it's not over yet. As a trainee of K-Pop agency, you will be still competing with the others to make a debut. At this stage, remember one more thing apart from 'Scarcity' and 'Attraction'. It's 'Endurance'.
Below is the video clip of 2NE1 members(CL, Park Bom, Sandara Park and Minzy). They also had audition and withstood years of trainee period in YG Entertainment! Check out how the four members did it when they were in their trainee period.
It may takes years to make a debut officially as a singer. 2AM's Jo Kwon withstood 8 years of trainee period. It took 5 years for 2NE1's Minzy to be a K-Pop singer since she began her trainee life in 2004. Averagely, K-Pop stars have 15 months of trainee period, but more than half of trainees give up without completing the course. Do your best and just hang in there. Patience is a virtue.
Hope this is of some help to you, potential K-Pop stars! Well, keep at it. You can do it.
Have you ever been curious about k-pop idols' microphones? Unless you are a professional, it’s difficult to know the details about the microphones. However, there’s a very simple way to make a guess at what kind of microphone your favorite idol star uses. Well, the way is to classify the microphones by their colors. Colors of microphones do not always mean everything, but like I said, you can at least make a guess at what kind of microphones those are. Flesh-Colored Microphone You might see the flesh-colored microphones frequently in various k-pop chart shows. Those are the basic microphones offered by the broadcasting company. People in the k-pop world usually call it "Band-Aid." The microphone is cheap, and it doesn't perform well. However, it doesn't matter because not a few incompetent idols depend on their AR and just pretend to sing live. Black Microphone The black microphone is not offered by the broadcasting company. If an idol group's
I’m sure you’re very curious about k-pop trainee’s daily schedule. Well, it differs from case to case, but let me explain about the general case. If you become a k-pop trainee, you should follow the daily schedule below. 8 a.m. : School attendance As most of k-pop trainees are students, they should go to school in the morning. They try not to skip breakfast if possible because it’s important for them to manage their health. At their school, they take classes just like the other ordinary students, but they usually listen to music during break time to make preparations for their weekly test. They sometimes write song lyrics, while there are also some passionate trainees who practice singing and dancing at their school. 5 p.m. : Go to practicing room After school is over, trainees go to their practicing rooms. The first thing they do when they arrive at their practicing rooms is give their cellphones and diaries to people who manage them. They get their cellphones back after the
"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
In 2014, EXO's Chinese member Kris filed a lawsuit against SM entertainment, insisting that his exclusive contract with the agency should be nullified. And he finally left the agency, while another Chinese EXO member Luhan also filed a lawsuit against SM in the year. And in 2015, Tao decided to leave the agency too. After filing lawsuits, they said “SM didn't respect us at all. SM has treated us like subjects of control and determined our schedules unilaterally. And we had economic difficulties despite much work.” Well, I think many of k-pop fans may consider unfair contract between SM and the Chinese members as the main reason why the idol singers filed lawsuits. You know, it was not the first time that SM’s idol singer filed a lawsuit against the agency. The former TVXQ members Kim Junsu, Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong had been in a legal battle with SM for about 3 years, while Hangeng of Super Junior has also filed a lawsuit against SM, insisting that his contract wit
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
