As it was revealed days ago, 2NE1's CL will release her new song in the United States next spring. On November 1, Scooter Braun, who helped global star Psy's activities in the U.S and will be a reliable supporter for CL, confirmed the news by posting the female Kpop star's photo on his official website, stating, "Welcome to the SB projects. Family, CL!"
CL debuted in 2009 as a member of 2NE1 and has gained great popularity in Korea. She now is one of the most popular female Kpop stars along with Girls' Generation's Yoona, Miss A's Suzy, 4minute's Hyuna, and more. Everyone in Korea expects that CL will achieve excellent results in the U.S music market, but as you know, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Do you think CL will be able to win a bug success in the country?
To guess the possibility of CL's success in the U.S music market, we need to compare her with 4minute's Hyuna and Lee Hyori. Hyuna, who is well known as one of the sexiest young kpop solo female stars, is familiar to the U.S music fans because she appeared on the music video of Psy's mega hit 'Gangnam Style'. Lee Hyori, who debuted in 1998 as a member of legendary kpop girl group Fin.K.L, has been recognized as a sexy queen of kpop world for more than 10 years.
In Korea, Hyuna sometimes is caught in controversy because of her lack of ability in singing and rapping. However, she has great dance moves and as you can see, she is beautiful. She wrote the lyrics of some tracks from her latest album 'A talk' that was released last July, but her songwriting ability was not that impressive.
Just like Hyuna, Lee Hyori once has been embroiled in controversy because of her lack of musicality. However, she showed off her pretty good songwriting skills through her album 'Monochrome' that was released in 2013, and she also showed impressive performance as a producer of kpop girl group Spica. As her husband is Korea's famous musician Lee Sang Soon and she runs around with his friends who are active as songwriters, Lee Hyori is getting mature as a musician, while the sexy and beautiful star still is a symbolic presence in the world of kpop.
Let's talk about CL now. The female star, who is not regarded as a typical beauty but at the same time is regarded as one the most fashionable female kpop stars, is well know for her outstanding singing and rapping ability. (I've worked in the U.S army years ago, and many of my American friends' girlfriends had eyes which were quite similar to CL's. I'm not certain, but I think the U.S music fans will like CL's appearance.)
CL also showed off her songwriting skills by taking part in writing 2NE1's songs such as 'Crush', 'If I were you', 'MTBD', and 'Baby I miss you', while her fluent English skill will be a great help to her when she will promote her song in the U.S music market.
Well, I'm not still sure if CL will be able to win a big success in the U.S music market. But, as a female solo singer, she has a sufficient musicality and it is also notable that she does hip hop music which is the mainstream of American music.
So, what do you think? Do you think CL's new challenge will produce a successful outcome?
"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
There are so many girl groups in the world of kpop. When kpop agencies are preparing for their girl groups' debut, they consider numerous factors regarding Korean music market to produce a successful outcome. Many of you might think that girl groups have to capture male fans' hearts, while boy groups should use opposite strategy. However, it's not true. Female fans are usually more loyal to their stars than male fans are. Female fans buy concert tickets, CDs, and merchandises. Furthermore, female fans' love toward their stars last longer. That's why not only boy groups but also girl groups should target female fans. SM entertainment is the kpop agency which is so good at this. Whenever SM prepares for its girl group's debut or comeback, the SM staffs discuss about what they need to do to capture female fans' hearts. So, here are some requirements for kpop girl groups who are loved by female fans. 1. Stylish and attractive: Idol singer has to be a
Q. You made a comeback with your new songs "Playing with fire" and "Stay." How do you feel? Rose: We've worked really hard on preparing for our comeback. Please give us lots of love. Jisoo: We made a comeback but it feels like it's our debut. Frankly speaking, I've been really worried if people are not interested in us because we didn't appear in many TV programs since our debut. Lisa: We prepared so much to show great performance. Please look forward to it. Jennie: I feel very nervous and excited at the same time. Q. It seems like Yang Hyun Suk cares much about you. Jisoo: He always sends us encouraging messages and says nice things about us. I think it is because we're rookies. He is like our father. Jennie: When we won a No.1 trophy on a music chart show, he captured the TV screen and sent it to us with a congratulatory message. Q. How were your trainee years? Lisa: It was hard for me to communicate with other people becaus
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
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
