In the fast-moving Kpop world, it is really hard for Kpop singers to maintain upper position on online music charts. As a variety of new songs come out everyday, the old song yields the top position to the new one, naturally. However, some of the songs go against the flow. It's the contraflow on Kpop music chart. Well, the songs, miraculously, move up in the ranking as time goes by. Here are a few reasons for a strange contraflow on kpop music chart.
Great Popularity of Sexy Fancam
Kpop girl group EXID released its new song 'Up & Down' last August. The group has gained attention from people as it has been about 2 years since it released its new song, but, the group had to have poorer result than expected. 'Up & Down' was not a top-ranking song on various Korean online music chart.
However, the song recently started to move up in the music ranking. It has been about 3 months since it was released, but 'Up & Down' is now at the upper positions of a variety music charts, surprising many Kpop fans.
Well, what triggered the song's strange contraflow was a YouTube video which was filmed by EXID's ordinary fan. The fancam focused on the group's member Hani became a national topic of conversation among Korean music fans, and it led to EXID's astonishing success. In the video, Hani captures eyes of people by showing off her super sexy charm. Check out the video.
Popular TV Shows Make Songs Popular
Do you like Korean entertainment programs such as 'Super Star K' and 'Hidden Singer'? As you may know, the programs are about music, and you can listen to various genres of music through the programs.
By the way, due to the nature of the programs('Super Star K' is an audition program and 'Hidden Singer' is an impersonator contest), people who appear on the programs frequently sing old Kpops.
For example, Lim Hyun Woo, who auditioned 'Super Star K'(He is well known as a disciple of the program's judge Lee Seung Chul), sang POSTMEN's 'I can't go to Shinchon' on the program. After that, 'I can't go to Shinchon', which was released a year and 10 months ago, started to move up on various online music charts.(Shinchon is a bustling university town)
By the same token, songs of famous Kpop stars including Lim Chang Jung, Wheesung, Lee Juck, and Lee Seung Hwan, who appeared on 'Hidden Singer', made contraflows on online music charts after the program was aired.
Seasonal Influence
Busker Busker's 'Cherry Blossom Ending' is a representative song that makes a contraflow on Kpop charts. As you can see from the title of the song, the song is a song for spring. When the song was released in the spring of 2012, the song gained great popularity. But it seemed that the song was naturally forgotten by people as time goes by. By the way, surprisingly, the song moved up on online music charts every spring. In the spring of 2013 and 2014, the song topped various music charts again.
For this reason, Korean people usually call the song "Spring Carol" or "Cherry Blossom Pension." (The reason why people call the song "Cherry Blossom Pension" is that Busker Busker can gain royalty every spring)
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
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
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
"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
Dynamic Duo released its new album. The Korean hip hop duo that consists of Choiza and Gaeko is regarded as the representative hip hop artist in Korea, while the two met in the 6th grade of elementary school and have a long standing history of being friends. Choiza and Gaeko started to work together through an underground hip hop scene named CB Mass and then came to establish Dynamic Duo in 2003. Well, the duo's new album 'A Giant Step' includes two tracks, 'AEAO' and 'Animal', while the album really shows a giant step because it was co-produced by world famous hip hop artist DJ Premier, who has worked with popular stars such as Jay Z, Kanye West, The Black Eyed Peas, and Maroon 5. Celebrating its releasing new album, Dynamic Duo held a press conference with DJ Premier in Seoul, but all the people's concerns were centered on Choiza's scandal with f(x)'s Sulli. At the press conference, Choiza didn't talk about the scandal at all, b
