Do you like Kpop idol groups? As you know, there are so many Kpop idol groups, and they catch eyes of people by giving off their unique charm. Prominent Kpop idol groups such as TVXQ, Super Junior, SHINee, Big Bang, Girls' Generation, After School and more are loved by many people around the world.
By the way, some of those groups have their sub units. Sub units are composed of some
members of the original group, and sometimes, are even more loved by people than the original groups are.
Then, do you know why Kpop idols form their sub unit groups? Well, it is mutually beneficial.
From the point of view of Kpop agencies, Kpop stars are highly marketable products. The agencies can have extra income by promoting their sub unit groups. This is why the agencies constantly think out the new sub unit groups.
To the singers, it can be a great chance to increase their existence as Kpop stars. As a member of idol group consists of more than 4 or 5 singers, it is not easy for the member to give off his/her own charm sufficiently. However, the unit group, usually consists of 2 or 3 members, can make the singer look better.
Here are the representative Kpop unit groups. See how attractive they are.
GD & TOP : Big Bang's G-Dragon and TOP
GD & TOP was organized by Big Bang's two charming members G-Dragon and TOP in 2010. Their song 'High High' was sesationally popular, and has topped variety of music charts. By showing top quality performance on the stage, the duo gave off charismatic charm beyond compare. The two have been recognized as competitive rappers not only in TV, but also in the underground hip hop scene.
Girls' Generation TTS : Girls' Generation(SNSD)'s Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun
Girls' Generation TTS was formed in 2012. The three girls who had attuned to each other as MCs of MBC's 'Show! Music Core', formed the unit group that has a fatal attraction. 'TTS' signifies three members' name(Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun), and it is called 'Tae Ti Seo' in Korea. With its hit 'Twinkle', Girls' Generation TTS swept Korean music scene.
SISTAR 19 : Sistar's Hyolyn and Bora
SISTAR 19 released its single 'Ma Boy' in 2011, and has gained lots of popularity by showing sexy 'chair performance'. The '19' in their name represents the age that girls mature into women. In 2013, the duo created another sensation by releasing the song 'Gone Not Around Any Longer'. By winning great success as the unit group and the original group, Sistar has been regarded as the only girl group to be able to compared to top Kpop girl group Girls' Generation.
Orange Caramel : After School's Nana, Raina and Lizzy
Unlike its original group After School is loved by many fans with sexy and dark concept, Orange Caramel's concept is more sweet and lovely. With its distictive songs such as 'Magic Girl', 'A-ing', 'Bangkok City' and 'Lipstick', Orange Caramel showed off unique charm. Especially, the unit group has many young age fans thanks to their songs that are easy to sing along to. Orange Caramel has been gaining recognition by making their own way in Kpop world.
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
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
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
