Are you a fan of Kpop girl group APink? I like the group too. The 6 members are lovely, pretty, and attractive. But the group was recently embroiled in plagiarism controversy surrounding the concept image for its upcoming new album. As you can see above, the image looked really similar to a photograph taken by fashion photographer Michal Pudelka, while the group's agency explained, "We never knew such photos existed, and we never designed the concept based on the originals. It seems like something similar just happened as we were seeking out a desired concept for the girl group’s comeback."
Well, what do you think? Do you think APink plagiarized the photograph?(Actually, that's the group's agency's problem, not APink's.)
The problem is that it's not the first time that APink was embroiled in plagiarism controversy. Since its debut in 2011, APink has continuously been caught up in controversy. Check out the photos below and please compare the costumes of APink and those of Girls' Generation and f(x).
Besides its costumes, APink was also embroiled in plagiarism controversy because of its choreography and music.
Last June, the group appeared on KBS' 'Yoo Heeyeol's Sketchbook' and showed an impressive dance performance of Beyonce's 'Partition'. However, Kyle Hanagami, the original choreographer of the dance pointed out that APink used his choreography without his consent, stating, "I'm flattered but credit really needs to be given where it's due."
And there has been much debate over the originality of APink's 'NoNoNo' that was released in July 2013. The song sounds like legendary Kpop girl group SES's song 'Just in love'. Unfortunately, Shinsadong Tiger, the composer of 'NoNoNo', didn't deny that he plagiarized SES's song.
He said, "I do not deny that I plagiarized SES's song. Of course, I can't say that it's plagiarism, but it's true that I was heavily influenced by the song. When the song was released, I was a middle school student and at that time, I experienced my first love. I wanted to express those kinds of feelings through the song. I think I was immature when I composed 'NoNoNo'."
Check out the videos below to compare 'NoNoNo' and 'Just in love'.
"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
As you know, Kpop girl group members look so innocent and cute. We usually describe them as 'fairy'. Then, how about their feet? It seems that they have tiny lovely feet. Well, what do you think? Let's see the shoe sizes of Kpop female idols. Sooyoung has the biggest feet among Girls' Generation's members. Girls' Generation: Soo Young(Big foot) / Sunny, Jessica, Hyo Yeon(Small foot) Soo Young has the biggest feet among Girls' Generation(SNSD) members. It is 245mm. Is there anybody who are diapponted because Soo Young has too big feet? Actually, she is the tallest member too. She is 170cm tall. Let's make a comparison between Soo Young and Tae Yeon. Tae Yeon's shoe size is 240mm and she is 162cm tall. Yoona, Seo Hyun and Yuri's shoe sizes are also 240mm. Three other members have the smallest feet among SNSD's members. Sunny, Jessica and Hyo Yeon's shoe sizes are all the same as 225mm to 230mm. Does it fit your expectation?
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
