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
There are so many girl groups in the world of kpop. When kpop agencies are preparing for their girl groups' debut, they consider numerous factors regarding Korean music market to produce a successful outcome. Many of you might think that girl groups have to capture male fans' hearts, while boy groups should use opposite strategy. However, it's not true. Female fans are usually more loyal to their stars than male fans are. Female fans buy concert tickets, CDs, and merchandises. Furthermore, female fans' love toward their stars last longer. That's why not only boy groups but also girl groups should target female fans. SM entertainment is the kpop agency which is so good at this. Whenever SM prepares for its girl group's debut or comeback, the SM staffs discuss about what they need to do to capture female fans' hearts. So, here are some requirements for kpop girl groups who are loved by female fans. 1. Stylish and attractive: Idol singer has to be a
Q. You made a comeback with your new songs "Playing with fire" and "Stay." How do you feel? Rose: We've worked really hard on preparing for our comeback. Please give us lots of love. Jisoo: We made a comeback but it feels like it's our debut. Frankly speaking, I've been really worried if people are not interested in us because we didn't appear in many TV programs since our debut. Lisa: We prepared so much to show great performance. Please look forward to it. Jennie: I feel very nervous and excited at the same time. Q. It seems like Yang Hyun Suk cares much about you. Jisoo: He always sends us encouraging messages and says nice things about us. I think it is because we're rookies. He is like our father. Jennie: When we won a No.1 trophy on a music chart show, he captured the TV screen and sent it to us with a congratulatory message. Q. How were your trainee years? Lisa: It was hard for me to communicate with other people becaus
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
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
