Brown Eyed Girls' Gain made a comeback with her new solo album 'Truth or Dare'. 'Truth or Dare' is her third mini album following 'Step 2/4'(2010) and 'Talk about S'(2012). Let's see what Gain brought with her this time.
◆Alluring 'Truth or Dare'
The title track 'Truth or Dare' is the song about rumor and truth. In an intro, dreamlike piano melody and bass line stimulate sensitivity. The funky pop number automatically get your head and shoulders bobbing with the sound of the beat.
Gain's voice is still attractive. She proves that she can espress all the human emotions well without powerful high notes or a turgid expression. She moves over the rythm with a smooth, effortless grace.
Add to this, Gain shows splendid dance performance with male backup dancers. She is so alluring, and the music video is interesting too. The video is done in a fake documentary style, which is based on how staffs and friends look at her.
However, the song is not as fresh as expected. It reminds people of the singer's former hit 'Bloom' because 'Truth or Dare' borrowed the hit formula from 'Bloom'. It looks like that Gain is recharging herself after winning a complete success as a solo singer with 'Bloom'.
◆Daring 'Fxxk U'
The most impressive track of the album is 'Fxxk U'. The song describes women's views of sex. The R&B number has classical guitar sound and has great tempo as well.
In the music video, Gain shows daring acting with actor Joo Jihoon, but she looks so elegant and beautiful. It looks that Gain succeeded in delicate balancing act between art and pornography. Showing off her musical growth, she shows an easy and composed attitude with her attractive tone. Plus, Bumkey is livening up the song as a featured artist.
The satisfactory track demonstrates convincingly that Gain is a step above so-so Kpop female idols.
◆JYP and Lee Hyori's Competitive Tracks
Famous musicians like Park Jing Young and Lee Hyori participated in Gain's album as songwriters.
The song 'Q&A' is composed and written by Park Jin Young. The duet song, featured by 2AM's Jo Kwon, is about man and woman who are saying good-bye to each other. The lyrics are touchy and the relaxed melody is emotional, while Gain and Jo Kwon work in perfect harmony. The song is as charming as 'Truth or Dare' and 'Fxxk U'.
Lee Hyori composed 'Black & White'. The song gives a detailed portrayal of the inner side of a woman who has two faces. It is suggestive of Lee Hyori's 'Bad Girls'. It is not fresh that much, but through the song, Gain shows off her distinctive charm in her own unique way.
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
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
Do you want to know where do Kpop stars live? Well, as you expect, top Kpop stars are financially able to purchase high-priced houses. Let's take a look at Kpop stars' luxurious houses. JYJ's Kim Junsu has his villa “Brown Stone Legend” in Samseong-dong, Seoul. It costs about 2.6 million dollars, while his team mate Kim Jae Joong also lives in there as Junsu's good neighbor. Actually, before being independent of his parents, he has lived in a detached house placed in Paju city with parents. The house has all the luxurious items like fountain and saloon bar. It costs about 1.6 million dollars, and Junsu gave the house to his mother as a present. BoA lives in “Sangji Ritzville” placed in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. Girls' Generation's Jessica is her neighbor. The 230 square meter villa has three rooms and three bathrooms, while it costs about 1.8 million dollars. The picture below is the exterior. Big Bang's TOP is also well known as an owner of a lux
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
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
