B1A4's Huge Growth: Kpop Idols' Three Rules for Success

Kpop idol group B1A4 has shown strong growth in recent years. They released their new song 'Lonely' in January 2013, and swept over all the Kpop charts. Then, what would you say is the main reason for their success? Let's talk about Kpop idol stars' rules for success.

B1A4
◆Rule1: Do Distinctive Music
There are too many Kpop idol groups who all look the same. Most of their albums carry the same old tired contents and music fans are searching for something special with a unique and distinctive style.
 
To gain a competitive advantage over rivals, Kpop idols need to do their own music. In that sense, it really works if one of the members can write music and lyrics. Just one person can change everything as you can see in the case of Big Bang's G-Dragon and B2ST's Yong Jun Hyung.

B1A4 has leader Jin Young. He wrote the group's hits such as 'Baby I'm Sorry', 'Baby Good Night', 'Tried to Walk' and 'What's Happening?'. Well, his songs are not yet enough to shake the world, but are certainly differentiated from other idol groups' songs. It's enough to captivate young Kpop fans.

Especially, in his another own song 'Lonely', you can confirm his development as a young composer. The R&B hip hop song is about the sorrow of parting. The song aroused sympathy from not only teen fans but also people in their 20s and 30s.


 
◆Rule2: Stick at Individual Projects
To Kpop idols, individual projects are as important as team projects. Through TV and movie appearance, the members can get opportunities to be seen in public. That the steady efforts for individual projects will some day come to fruition is a view shared by most Kpop industry workers.
 
The B1A4 members has constantly been doing their individual activities since their debut in 2011.
 
CNU appeared in KBS' 'I need a fairy' aired in 2012, while Jin Young appeared in tvN's 'She's Wow'(2013) and the film 'Miss Granny'(2014).
 
Especially, Baro made a big splash by appearing in tvN's 'Reply 1994'. On the strength of the drama's big hit, he won a great deal of popularity. Public interest in Baro naturally led to B1A4's popularity rising. It definitely had a good influence on success of the group's new album.
B1A4's Baro appeared in tvN's 'Reply 1994'
◆Rule3: Obtain Loyal Fans
After their debut, B1A4 has captured fans' hearts by showing off their cheerful and friendly charms. Now, they have a loyal fan base.
 
B1A4 proved it by taking second place at the popularity vote for Seoul Music Awards 2014. Beating prominent rival idols, B1A4 held the second rank.(SHINee was ranked No.1)
 
In addition, B1A4's concert tickets went like hot cakes. The tickets for their third exclusive concert 'The Class' held in Seoul in February 2014 were all sold out as soon as the sale was opened.
 
The success of idols' success entirley depends on their fans. Fans vote for their favorite stars and buy concert tickets & albums. Without loyal fans, it is so difficult for Kpop idols to achieve dominance over rival singers. For this reason, idols try to see their fans as often as they can by holding special events such as fan meeting and autograph event. Yeah, idols always talk about their fans when they receive awards, and there is a good reason for it.

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…

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."

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 …
