Kpop Album Review: Girls' Generation TTS Proves its Superiority As a No.1 Kpop Idol Unit


Girls' Generation TTS released its second mini album 'Holler'. It has been about 2 years and 4 months since the unit released its hit 'Twinkle' in 2012.

As you know, there are many idol units, but there has been no female idol unit who showed as outstanding stage presence and singing ability as Girls' Generation TTS. Through 'Twinkle', the three members of the unit, Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun, proved the reason for their superiority over other female Kpop idols.

Well, Through Girls' Generation TTS's new album, which has a total of 6 songs including the title track 'Holler', the members show off feminine, lovely, sexy, and cute charm.


'Holler' is a song which includes a message that people have to vary their routine and dream of their future freely. Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun show off their outstanding singing ability, and at the same time, they make perfect harmony. The chorus is so catchy, and big band's brass mix well with the members' voices, making plentiful sounds. In comparison with the group's former hit 'Twinkle', 'Holler' is more energetic music. The three girls became more mature and confident.

'Adrenalin' is a quite impressive track too. Uptempo percussion leads the music, while it automatically gets your head and shoulders bobbing with the sound of the beat. The song has a catchy chorus, and it does not suffer by comparison with 'Holler'.


Third track's 'Whisper' is a pop with a sweet melody, and in the song, the TTS members breathe and whisper to express the feelings of the love song. As veteran Kpop idols who debuted in 2007, they exude expertise stemming from their long experience.

And do not miss a emotional ballad track 'Only U' too. It's notable that Seohyun wrote lyrics of the song, and it's about a girl who is looking for her eternal love. Through the song, you can see how Seohyun, the youngest member of Girls' Generation, grew up as a competent Kpop artist.


On September 16, Girls' Generation TTS held a showcase in Seoul, celebrating its releasing new album. SHINee's Minho hosted the event, and the TTS members talked about their album. They electrified fans by performing their songs including 'Twinkle', 'Baby Steps', 'Holler', 'Adrenalin', 'Whisper', and 'Only U'.

Tiffany stated, "During our arena tour in Japan, we've been hard at work on our new album. Sorry we made you wait," while Taeyeon said "We have many good songs in our new album. Our opinion was reflected in it, and it is really meaningful album."

As I mentioned above, Seohyun took part in writing lyrics of 'Only U', and she talked about song, "When I took a trip to the Swiss Alps with my parents, I wrote the lyrics in a day."


Tiffany added, "It's so happy to perform in front of our fans after a long interval. We want to develop continuously as singers," and Seohyun said "During a 2-year hiatus, we've experienced a lot, and we want to do more mature music."

At the event, Girls' Generation TTS showed fantastic live performance(Personally, the group's performance for 'Adrenalin' was the best), and it was notable that the three members tried to express thanks to their fans in any way. Till the last moment of the event, they waved their hands and blew kisses to greet the cheering fans.

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…

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 …
