Do We Have to Enter SoPA to be a Famous Kpop Star?

Are you interested in Kpop stars' school days? Most of the stars showed the potential to be super stars while high school. Well, A fine child becomes a fine man. Then, do you know where they went to high school? There is one school that has produced exceptionally many Kpop stars.

Have you heard about SoPA?(School of Performing Arts Seoul) It is located at Guro-gu, Seoul, and has produced a lot of Kpop stars such as Miss A's Suzy, f(x)'s Sulli, A Pink's Son Na Eun, A Pink's Oh Ha Young, A Pink's Kim Nam Joo, EXO's Kai, EXO's Sehun, B.A.P's Zelo, Teen Top's Ricky, Boyfriend's Youngmin, FT Island's Lee Jaejin, CNBLUE's Lee Jong Hyun and B1A4's Gongchan. That's amazing, isn't it? The school has been established as the gateway to becoming a star.

School of Performing Arts Seoul was designated as Vocational High School in 2008, and it's educational system is based on developing practical techniques. The school teaches various foreign languages, aiming to nurture global stars. It has departments like practical dance, practical music, stage art and more. The school also has excellent staff of instructors who have years of appropriate experiences.

It is clearly not easy for would-be Kpop stars to have sufficient time for singing and dancing practice while they are in ordinary high schools. Unfortunatley, Korea's education system is focused on college admission, and most of students have to complete the whole required course regardless of their specialty and aptitude.

Check out high school photos of Kpop stars who graduated from School of Performing Arts Seoul. They are shaking the world as talented singers! Aren't their yellow school uniforms cute?

About MR, AR, LMR and LAR: Do Kpop Idols Really Sing Live?

Image
"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...

Secret about kpop idol stars' microphones

Image
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.

After releasing a Christmas album, the group's contract was terminated by their record company, which came as a shock to G-Dragon. After then, he was scouted by SM Entertainment while on a ski trip with his family. He was a trainee under the record label for five years, specializing in dance before he left, unclear about what he wanted to do. In third grade, G-Dragon was introduced to the American rap group Wu-Tang Clan by a friend. Inspired by their music, he developed an interest in rapping and began taking classes. Under People Crew's tutelage, he participated in the release of the Korean hip-hop album Flex in 2001, becoming the youngest Korean rapper at just 13 years old.
