Kpop idol groups capture global fans' hearts by showing off their outstanding performance skills. Despite intense dance moves, the idols show perfect live performance. Well, have you ever thought how much invisible effort is needed to get that level of skill? Let's see all about Kpop idol group's practice through 5-member boy group 100%(Hyukjin, Rokhyun, Chanyong, Minwoo, Jonghwan and Changbum)'s case.
Idol stars are working to a tight schedule. However, they should keep practicing to show better performance. 100%'s daily practice begins 10 am and ends at 10 pm. Even though it already has been 3 years since the group debuted, they practice at least 12 hours a day. And just before their comeback, they stay up all night practicing.
Idol group's practicing procedure is as follows.
Step 1: Accustom themselves to new song Step 2: Practice choreography Step 3: Practice singing and dancing at the same time
Through this kind of procedure, the choreography is modified repeatedly, and the members need to have firm basic skills to adapt to new choreography easily. If their voices are unstable when they sing and dance at the same time, they start intensive practice.
Rokhyun, the lead vocal of 100%, has his own special method of improving live performance skill. He sings on a treadmill! Through the video below, you can see Rokhyun singing on a treadmill. The video was filmed by his team mate Changbum.
Not only Kpop fans and would-be singers, but also Kpop idols cover the songs sung by Kpop stars. During the practice, idols develop their own voice tones by covering other singers' songs.
You can watch the idol stars' cover videos on Youtube, and that is part of efforts to raise one's singing ability to a higher level.
Idols sometimes enjoy music practice as a play. In case of 100%, one member plays guitar while the other members learn guitar and sing to the guitar-playing.
Among 100%'s 5 members, Rokhyun, Hyukjin and Jonghwan contribute to vocal parts. Rokhyun sings the main melody, while Hyukjin sings high notes and Jonghwan sings low notes.
The 3 members try to create a perfect harmony during singing practice. Exchange of opinions is an important part of idol group's practice.
Each member controls his voice tone and volume, listening carefully to the other members' voices. They also discuss how to pile the chords. Even the music specialists in Kpop agencies cannot teach the idols how to be attuned to other members on stage. All of these procedures help the group show better performance.
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
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
"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
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
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
