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?
Popular actor Kim Soohyun's new movie "Real" was released on June 28, while much attention was focused on the movie because the handsome actor play a double role in the movie for the first time since he debuted. However, "Real" is receiving harsh reviews from the critics. The critics are saying the movie is rubbish. Actually, as I said before, there have been some problems about making of "Real" since last year. Kim Soohyun filmed the movie from January 2016 to June 2016, and movie director Lee Jung Seob directed the movie. By the way, Lee Jung Seob was suddenly replaced by another movie director Lee Sarang for no reason. The problem was that Lee Sarang is Kim Soohyun's cousin and he could become the director of "Real" even though he has no experience in directing a movie. Well, as a result, the rookie director, who has poor directing ability ruined the film. He's now living with Kim Soohyun. By the way, the bigger problem...
On June 26, a press preview for "Real" was held in Seoul. The movie is receiving great attention from people because it is famous actor Kim Soohyun's new movie, while Sulli's nude scene is included in it. By the way, Kim Soohyun and Sulli were not the two who attracted the biggest attention after the movie was played. It was Suzy. She made a guest appearance in the movie, and her scene is very short. However, she caught eyes of people by playing a role she's never done before. She appeared in the movie as a sexy tattooist with a cigarette in her mouth! Can you imagine Suzy with a cigarette in her mouth? In addition, her upper body was covered in tattoos. Well, she readily agreed to make a guest appearance in the movie because of her friendship with Kim Soohyun, and she did her job well enough. <K-pop Secret Vol.1: 40 Korean Stars’ Real Personality> K-pop Secret Vol.1 contains stories about the real personality of 40 Korean stars.

"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...
