Sistar's Soyou is working her magic on music charts. On September 26, Soyou released her new song 'The space between'. She sang the song together with Urban Zakapa's Kwon Soonil and Park Yongin, while the song topped a variety of online music charts. By doing so, she hit homers in three consecutive at-bats, following the big hits of 'Stupid in love' and 'Some'. Well, here are the reasons for Soyou magic.
Starship's Planning Ability
By releasing 'Stupid in love' in September, 2013, Soyou marked the beginning of her magic. The song was the first ever collaborative project between Starship entertainment and its sub label Starship X. People seemed to take an active interest in the song because the collaborative work between famous idol star and underground musician who is unfamiliar to the public was a very unusual thing. In early 2014, Soyou collaborated with Jung Gigo in the same way.
Starship entertainment, which was established in 2008, now stands shoulder to shoulder with the biggest Kpop companies such as SM, YG, and JYP. The company has been receiving attention from many in the Kpop industry by showing off its outstanding planning ability. The company always succeeded in finding out the best way to maximize charms of its artists such as Sistar, Sistar19, and K.will. In this way, the company could get the best records on various music charts even though it is not the biggest Kpop company.
Starship entertainment made an elaborate plan and made contracts with promising underground musicians such as Mad Clown and Jung Gigo. And by matching them with Soyou, the company boosted the chemistry among the artists.
Sweet Melody and Sweet Voice
Have you listened to both 'Some' and 'The space between'? The two songs have something in common.
Unlike other songs, 'Some' and 'The space between' do not have high-pitched climax. Instead, with their catchy lyrics about a man-woman relationship, the songs arouse sympathy from people. After Soyou made a big hit with 'Some' in Korea, a song that has a sweet melody and is easy to listen to became a trend in the world of Kpop.
Soyou, who is well known for her sweet voice, maximized the charms of her sweet songs. Unlike her team mate Hyolyn, who has a characterful and powerful voice, Soyou has a voice that can mix well with other singers' voices. As you can hear from their songs, Soyou's male partners, Jung Gigo, Kwon Soonil and Park Yongin also have soft voices that can mix well with Soyou's voice.
Public Confidence in Soyou's Music
Public confidence in Soyou's songs is a reason for her magic on music charts too. As Soyou achieves a success on music charts again and again, her songs became accepted as the music which is more reliable than that of her competitors. As you know, people usually stick to brand names they trust.
In the same vein, Starship entertainment the continuity between 'Some' and 'The space between', stating, "'The space between' is the second story of 'Some'." It was a smart promotional strategy to associate 'The space between' with Soyou's former hit and set Soyou's brand name at the head. Min Yeon Jae and Kim Do Hoon, who are lyricist and composer of 'Some', also took part in writing 'The space between' again to continue 'Some's big success.

Big Bang is back with its new songs 'LOSER' and 'BAE BAE'. On May 4, I met the 5 members and interviewed them. As it has been too long since the 5 members all together were interviewed by Korean journalists, it seemed that they had much to say. Let's see what they talked about their music, love, and life. Big Bang's Music Q. You guys said you will release new singles on the first day of every month. It sounds like an uncommon project. Taeyang: Just a month before, we worked really hard to decide if we will release singles or a full album. Actually, we have highly satisfactory new songs and we wanted to release a full album which contains all of them. However, we also wanted to film music videos for all of the songs and that’s why we decided to release singles every month. Q. What kind of songs will you release from next month? Drop me a hint. Taeyang: What I want to say is that all of the songs are different. We will show you something very different e...
"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...
1988–2009: Early life and debut G-Dragon began his career at age five as part of the group Little Roo Ra. After releasing a Christmas album, the group's contract was terminated by their record company, which came as a shock to G-Dragon. After then, he was scouted by SM Entertainment while on a ski trip with his family. He was a trainee under the record label for five years, specializing in dance before he left, unclear about what he wanted to do. In third grade, G-Dragon was introduced to the American rap group Wu-Tang Clan by a friend. Inspired by their music, he developed an interest in rapping and began taking classes. Under People Crew's tutelage, he participated in the release of the Korean hip-hop album Flex in 2001, becoming the youngest Korean rapper at just 13 years old. Although he wrote his own lyrics, he admitted that his English was weak and the story behind the lyrics was just another typical "I'm young, but I'm the best." Additionall...
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...
