With his hits 'Gangnam Style' and 'Gentleman', Psy became a world-famous pop star. Well, His success was a surprise. PSY is not handsome or sexy, and is even fat! Let's talk about the fullstory of his life.
Psy, whose birth name is Park Jae Sang, was born in 1977. He entered Boston University after graduating high school, and as taking up his father's suggestion, he majored in international business. However, his talent was not about it, and he later decided to enter Berklee college of music.
He dreamed of being a album producer, but nobody was interested in his songs, which made him decide to be a singer himself.
Psy made a debut by releasing his first album 'Psy From the Psyho World' in 2001. The title track 'Bird' caused sensation, and people fell in love with Psy's funny, easy and exciting songs.
However, in 2001, he was faced with an unexpected difficulty by smoking marijuana and becoming the focus of a public censure. He had to restart his career in 2002.
2002 Worldcup became the favorable factor for him. His new song 'Champion' and 'Entertainer' exactly fit the enthusiastic mood of Korea in 2002, and made a big hit. He showed off his undiminished power as a Korean pop star. The below video shows Psy's 'Entertainer' performance at his Seoul Plaza Live Concert in 2012.
But he was faced with another unexpected difficulty. From 2003 to 2005, He has served his military duties at a national defense, but after that, He was picked up on suspicion of being indolent at a national
defense.
Well, taking public criticism, he had to reenlist. And at this time, he had to join the army instead of working
at a national defense.
After being discharged from the army in 2009, he met a turning point. He made
exclusive contract with YG Entertainment in 2010, and made a comeback with his 5th
album 'Right Now'. I'm sure that the strongest support that Psy has is YG.
Finally, PSY hit the jackpot with 'Gangnam Style' in 2012, and consolidated his position in world pop industry with another hit 'Gentleman'.
Then, why is Psy so hot around the globe? Psy was also surprised at his own success.
"I really don' t know how 'Gangnam Style' became so popular globally. I'm bewildered at winning success I wasn't expecting."
Here are some reasons for his success.
Psy's songs contrast sharply with those of ordinary Kpop idol stars. PSY calls himself 'Ddanddara' which means 'clown'. He entertains people. As you can see from 'Gangnam Style', it has unique charm. It's not pretentious. It's really funny, easy to sing along to, which can draw welcome attention from people.
His comic dance is another reason for global popularity. 'Horse Dance'
with 'Gangnam Style' has been the latest fashion all around the world. Many people did
spoof of horse dance, and on Youtube, you can watch many videos which show people from diverse cultures dancing horse
dance in their own way.
And his passion. His passion for stage performance is just amazing. Have you ever been to his concert? He shouts his head off at the concert, and treats the crowd with energetic performances. Everytime I watched his performance, I was impressed by his sincerity. Check out his comments below.
"To me, it may be just one of the ordinary days that I sing and dance on the stage. However, to the audiences, it's totally different. It is indeed a special day for them. They treated themselves to come here, and I think that I have to satisfy them."
Besides, He is critical-minded about social issues. Although it is not known to
foreigners that much, Koreans already know how he is awake with social issues. This helped Psy tighten his grip on Kpop scene. His lyrics are hard-hitting and do things to people. He writes the lyrics you might be able to sympathize. He
talks about memories and reminiscence.
You can say his ordinary appearance is another reason for popularity. He doesn't look
like a super star, but people can be more familiar with him for some reason.
"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
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
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
