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.
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
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
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
