Have you heard about Kpop singers' 'burglary'? Oh, I hope you don't misunderstand me, I'm not talking about a real crime.
Big Bang's G-Dragon commented about Kpop singers' 'burglary' in his song.
Including new singers and big time singers, countless Kpop singers release their albums throughout the year. And the release date is as important as the perfection of the album because it determines the list of matches. It has a decisive effect on album sales and music show ranking. Naturally, most of Kpop singers want to pick on weaker competitors, and avoid tough opponents.
To complete the likeable list of matches, Kpop singers and their agencies try to read other singers' mind. If one of the most popular Kpop singer announces that he will release his album on certain date, other singers usually move up or delay their album release date to avoid the worst case that they have to face such a tough opponent. In the meantime, they search for the date that none of famous Kpop stars release their album. We call this Kpop singers' burglary. In Korean, it's 빈집털이.(You can pronounce it 'Binjipteori')
Kpop fans are divided over the issue. Some insist that Kpop singer's burglary is cowardice action, but others think that it is a clever marketing strategy. Well, what do you think of it?
I'm sure you've listened to G-Dragon's hit 'One of a Kind'. Parts of the lyrics rapped by GD include "
(Translation: It's already second album. I do not commit a burglary. My rapping takes her to bedroom, and lays her on the bed. I'm busy)
Yes, he commented about the issue, expressing self-confidence as a top Kpop star.
And here is Kpop stars' album release schedule for the first six months of 2014. Of cource, it is changeable because there will be fierce war of nerves among the singers to avoid strong opponent.(It will also depend on preparation situation of the album and other various factors.)
Q. You release your solo album. What made you decide to debut as a solo singer? Hyunseung: I think all the idol singers dream of it. As a member of group, it is hard to show my own character. But I can show off my identity as a solo singer. I think BEAST is a very attractive team, and I want to prove that the BEAST members are not only competent as a team but also as solo singers. Q. So, is there any difference between your activity as a member of you team and as a solo singer? Hyunseung: We need to achieve a comprise during our group activity. If I speak up, it makes the other members tired. However, I took part in many things about my solo album. I took part in making costumes, choreography, and teaser video. I think it made our company employees tired.(laugh) So I titled the album "My." Q. What is your goal as a solo singer? Hyunseung: I do not enjoy business. And I do not want to show exaggerated performance. I want to carry weight with a lot of people as a...
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...
In 2015, a head to head showdown between the most popular k-pop boy groups set the k-pop world on fire. BIGBANG released its new songs “BANG BANG BANG” and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” on June 2, while EXO released “LOVE ME RIGHT” just 24 hours later. The battle between BIGBANG and EXO was a matter of pride of the two biggest k-pop agencies, YG Entertainment and SM Entertainment, and the two agencies provided full support to the top class boy groups. By the way, their thoughts about the battle were a little bit different. Let's see what YG and SM were thinking about the head to head showdown between BIGBANG and EXO. The release of “BANG BANG BANG” and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” was a part of BIGBANG's special comeback project. BIGBANG released “LOSER” and “BAE BAE” on May 1, and the group was scheduled to release single albums every month of the year, which means the release of “BANG BANG BANG” and “WE LIKE 2 PARTY” was an already planned event. BIGBANG and YG were dreaming of making 201...
Big Bang is back with its new songs 'LOSER' and 'BAE BAE'. On May 4, I met the 5 members and interviewed them. As it has been too long since the 5 members all together were interviewed by Korean journalists, it seemed that they had much to say. Let's see what they talked about their music, love, and life. Big Bang's Music Q. You guys said you will release new singles on the first day of every month. It sounds like an uncommon project. Taeyang: Just a month before, we worked really hard to decide if we will release singles or a full album. Actually, we have highly satisfactory new songs and we wanted to release a full album which contains all of them. However, we also wanted to film music videos for all of the songs and that’s why we decided to release singles every month. Q. What kind of songs will you release from next month? Drop me a hint. Taeyang: What I want to say is that all of the songs are different. We will show you something very different e...
In 2015, Lee Seung Gi and Yoona have broken up after dating for a year and 9 months. I think many kpop fans felt sad about it because the two seemed to be a perfect match. Both Lee Seung Gi and Yoona are well known for their good nature and they're alike in personality, while they'd tried hard to protect each other. The official reason for their breakup was their hectic schedules. However, there was another reason why they should break up. As you may know, for Korean men, the military service is mandatory, while Lee Seung Gi also joined the army in February 2016. I've served in the military too and saw so many soldiers who broke up with their girlfriends in the army. From my own personal experience, more than 70% of soldiers break up with their girlfriends after joining the army. As all the Korean young people know about this, some of them part with their girlfriends just before enlistment even though they’re still in love with girlfriends. They think it is a way of...
