Do you know what "Akdong" means in Korean? It means a mischievous little devil. Well, Akdong Musician's "Akdong" doesn't mean a mischievous little devil, however, because there are many Sino-Korean words in Korean vocabulary and Akdong Musician's "Akdong' means children who are doing music. But, interestingly, Akdong Musician has been breaking Kpop industry's misconceptions about rookie singers since its debut as if the group is a real "Akdong" of the world of Kpop.
Akdong Musician's Lee Chanhyuk is 18 years old, while Lee Soohyun is 15 years old. The duo appeared on SBS' audition program 'Kpop Star 2' that was aired in November, 2012, and has gained great popularity with its acoustic music. But, as you may know, many Korean would-be singers in their teens usually like idol music and want to be idol stars. Akdong Musician, who showed off its amazing creativity through its songs such as 'Don't cross your leg' and 'You're attractive', broke people's perceptions that teens have to do cheerful idol music.
Furthermore, the acoustic duo Akdong Musician made a contract with YG entertainment, home to various hip hop stars such as Big Bang's G-Dragon, Psy, and Epik High. It seemed that YG didn't suit Akdong Musician's music style, but YG's characteristic management style that respects each artist's personal taste generated a significant synergy effect with Akdong Musician, as a result.
Recently, there are not many mixed-sex group in the world of Kpop, while mixed-sex duos are even rarer. Why? It's an uneconomic type of Kpop group, from the point of view of Kpop agencies.
However, Akdong Musican, comprised of Lee Chanhyuk and Lee Soohyun who are brother and sister, showed a perfect harmony and has been on a roll. Actually, Lee Chanhyuk's outstanding song writing ability had a great effect on it.
Lee Chanhyuk wrote all the songs that Akdong Musician sang at 'Kpop Star2' 2 years ago, while the talented singer-songwriter also wrote all the track of Akdong Musician's debut album that was released last April. His songs have popular appeal, and at the same time, have outstanding musicality.
A Kpop rookie singer usually releases a single album or mini album as his debut album. And then, after a certain time, he releases a full album when he is really ready for it.
However, Akdong Musician released a full album that includes a total of 11 tracks as its debut album, while the title tracks were 3 songs, 'Give love', '200%', and 'Melted'.
After releasing the album, Akdong Musician has topped a variety of online music charts. Besides the title tracks, other songs from the album have gained great popularity from people. Akdong Musician was just a rookie, and such a result was beyond common sense.
The duo's song 'Time and fallen leaves' that was released on October 10 also topped various online music charts such as Melon, Mnet, Bugs, Olleh, Genie, Monkey3, Daum, and Naver, maintaining the top for over 4 days. Akdong Musician beat its distinguished senior Kpop singers such as Ailee, Sistar's Soyou, and Kim Dong Ryul.
Last month, Akdong Musician will kick off its nationwide tour 'Akmu Camp', which is uncommon for a rookie group.
"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
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 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
It was a sunny day. Minjoo’s luxurious sedan speeded along over the smooth road. Minjoo could feel the cool breezes on her face. Minjoo’s car pulled up at a beautiful café located in a suburb of Seoul. When Minjoo got off the car, a man welcomed her. It was Park Donghoon. Minjoo’s luxurious sedan speeded along over the smooth road “Hey, look at you. You look more beautiful than ever” “It’s been a long time. How have you been, Mr. Park?” Exchanging greetings, they entered the café. “You want something to drink with it?” asked Park Donghoon. “Iced Americano, please” Park Donghoon brewed coffee and served it to Minjoo. “So, how's business? I was surprised when I heard you opened a café” “Well, not bad. You know, show business is a funny business, but there is uncertainty about the future of the business. That’s why I decided to open this café” “But you’re going to keep running DH Entertainment, right?” “Yeah, of course. I come here on weekends only. It’s n
