Kpop Singers' Burglary: Is it Clever or Cowardly?

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 "
벌써 2집 나는 안 털어 빈집 내 랩은 그녈 침실로 데려가 눕히지 I’m busy."
 
(Romanization: Beolsseo Ijip. Naneun Anteoreo Binjip. Nae Raebeun Geunyeol Chimsilo Deryeoga Nupiji I'm busy)
(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.)

K-pop Trainee’s Daily Schedule

Image
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 they finish a…

The Truth About WGM: Were Taemin and Naeun Really Dating?

Image
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 some he…

Netizens doubt that Seolhyun has broken up with Yook Sungjae because of ZICO

Image
Netizens' Assumption
Seolhyun began to date Yook Sungjae in early 2015. However, Zico loved Seolhyun and has expressed his love actively. Eventually, Seolhyun has broken up with Yook Sungjae last March and became Zico's girlfriend.

Evidence

1. At his concerts held last year, Yook Sungjae said again and again on the stage, "Don't I look like a prince?" The lyrics of Seolhyun's part of "Heart Attack" is, "Oh my prince."

2. At the ending of 2015 KBS song festival, kpop singers such as Ailee, BTS and VIXX tried to let Seolhyun and Yook Sungjae be close to each other.

3. When Zico appeared in "Radio Star" last January, he said, "I have an unrequited love for a female celebrity and I have been dumped twice. But I'm not gonna stop loving her." Yeah, it is Seolhyun.

4. Zico has recently written many songs about an unrequited love. A notable example is Block B's "Toy."
5. Last April, Yook Sungjae posted the lyrics…

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 just mean they …
