Super Junior's Kyuhyun is gaining great popularity with his first ever solo album. His song 'At Gwanghwamun' that was released on November 13, is still at the top of a variety of online music charts. By making a big success with his solo ballad track, Kyuhyun acquired a nickname 'A Price of Ballad'. Well, but it is not only Kyuhyun but also SM entertainment who acquired benefits from the success of the album. Let's see what SM acquired from the success of Kyuhyun's first ever solo album.
Got One More Repertoire
SM has been recognized as the biggest and the most competitive Kpop agency. However, it's true that there has been a bias against SM because the agency has focused on producing similar music of idol stars such as TVXQ, Girls' Generation, EXO, and more.
Well, including SM, so many Kpop agencies are now competing desperately to take the initiative in the world of Kpop. And the most important weapon for the victory is a wide repertoire of singers, songs, and music genres. Due to this, Kpop agencies are running mad for developing their new repertoires. In such circumstance, through Kyuhyun's solo album, SM proved its competitiveness in ballad music and got one more repertoire to put on the music market.
As soon as he released his solo album, Kyuhyun topped Synnara records' weekly album chart for 2 consecutive weeks and was ranked at No.2 on Billboard's world album chart and Taiwan's FIVE MUSIC weekly chart, while he also won No.1 trophies of various Korean music chart shows including Mnet's 'M Countdown', KBS' 'Music bank', and MBC's 'Show! Music core'.
Showed Off Undiminished Power
Actually, before Kyuhyun's first ever solo album was released, there were differing views on whether Kyuhyun will be able to win a success with the album because there has been no SM artist who released his or her solo ballad album. However, Kyuhyun amazed the world of Kpop by achieving more than expected.
Well, there is a strong supporter behind Kyuhyun. It's SM's Lee Soo Man. 7 years ago, Lee Soo Man told Kyuhyun that he will make Kyuhyun "The next Lee Gwang Jo." (Lee Gwang Jo is a famous old ballad singer) Lee Soo Man also stated a few times that it's time for Kyuhyun to release his solo album.
Music producers need to be highly sensitive because they have to capture the public fancy and reduce the probability of failure to make a profit. So, through Kyuhyun's solo album and his big success, Lee Soo Man proved once again that he is highly sensitive about the latest music trends and knows how to win competition over so many other Kpop agencies.
As you know, 2014 was an eventful year for SM. EXO's Kris and Luhan decided to leave the group, while Girls' Generation's Jessica made a similar choice and Super Junior's Sungmin made a marriage announcement. Some people say that SM is at a critical moment. But, SM showed off its undiminished power through Kyuhyun's success.
Reasons for Kyuhyun's Success
So, What do you think is the reason for Kyuhyun's success?
First, 'At Gwanghwamun' is a lyrical music that is about love and parting. And it's a perfect song for autumn, while the chorus of the song is easy to sing along to and has an emotional attraction.
Second, Kyuhyun's sweet voice captivated so many music fans' hearts. Recently, in Korea, sugary and sweet vocalists are more popular than vocalists who have powerful voices and are good at high-pitched tones, as you can see in the cases of Jung Gigo, Sung Si Kyung, and Kyuhyun.
Third, Kyunhyun succeeded in raising his profile by appearing on MBC's 'Radio Star'. Through the program, he cultivated his image as an intimate entertainer, and this led to the popularity of his solo album among the general public.
Who's your favorite Korean actress? Well, here are 3 representative hallyu actresses, Jun Jihyun, Park Shinhye, and Min Hyorin. Yeah, Jun Jihyun and Park Shinhye are recognized hallyu stars, while some of you might disagree with including Min Hyorin in the 3 representative hallyu actresses. But, as you know, she is Big Bang Taeyang's girl and I think many people are interested in her. Anyway, I've interviewed all of them and I'd like to talk about the 3 actresses' real personality. Jun Jihyun is beautiful. Everyone who sees her in person says she's a goddess. She has small face and long legs. And she has an elegant atmosphere. I don't know if it was intended, but she was absolutely different from ordinary people when she talked and acted. Yeah, she talks and acts like a real celebrity. As she shows her pride and elegance when she is interviewed, some say they feel distance from her. However, it doesn't mean she is pretentious. When she is with the ...
No doubt, GD is the most influential star in the k-pop world. I’ve had an interview with him three times till now, and what I felt about him is that he is a little bit shy of strangers. At first, I was surprised at it because you know, he’s always very charismatic and energetic on the stage and he never looks like the one who is very shy. Even though he is shy of strangers and doesn’t talk much, it doesn’t mean he is just an introvert person. When it comes to his career, he is full of confidence. He has much pride in himself and has a very clear view on his career. Add to this, he has qualities of a leader and is the one who leads the conversation when the 5 BIGBANG members are interviewed by the press. Oh, and one more thing. It seems like he exactly knows how to captivate ladies because many of female k-pop journalists who had an interview with him fell in love with him. When he talks to somebody, he makes eye contact with the person and he sometimes puts on a very attract...
Who are they? Dispatch was established in 2011, while it was made up of 11 staff members.(5 writers, 4 photographers, and 2 desk staffs) They are former employees of Korean media outlet Sports Seoul who have taken paparazzi photos of celebrities for years. They insist that they are not a paparazzi, saying they do not sell their photos unlike foreign paparazzis who work on a freelance and sell their photos for the highest price possible. They say they pursue "Paparazzi style journalism" and try to break from unseemly media circus that is just based on rumors. How do they work? When I go to cover various k-pop related events, I meet many Korean journalists. We usually talk about our companies just like ordinary office workers. However, the Dispatch people are so mysterious. They never talk about how they work and how their company makes profits, while they seem to be very proud of what they do. What I've heard about how Dispatch people work is that they get a lot ...
2PM has successfully finished its exclusive concert. The 10th-year boy group held "2PM CONCERT 6Nights" at the Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul from June 2-11. 2PM gave a total of 6 shows, while the shows drew audiences totaling 30,000 people. The 6 members absolutely electrified their fans by showing passionate and energetic live performance. Especially, it seemed they tried to put everything they have into their last show because it was their last concert before their enlistment. At the end of the concert, the members burst into tears, while many fans chanted the their name for about 15 minutes. Taecyeon It feels strange because I'm not sure when I will be able to sing as a member of 2PM again. It certainly will be a precious memory for me to be together with the other members. Please wait for us till we'll be back as a 6-member group. JUN.K It feels really strange because we can't perform as a 6-member group for quite some t...
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.
