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.
"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
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
Goo Hara, a female k-pop star who has achieved tremendous things as a member of popular girl group Kara, is having a hard time. You know, she is currently being investigated for an assault case, and it seems both Goo Hara and her ex-boyfriend Choi Jong Bum, a handsome hair designer who is known as "Yoo Ah-in of Cheongdam-dong", are responsible for causing bodily harm to each other. Goo Hara got bruises all over her body, while the hair designer had scars on her face. But what's even more shocking is that the ex-boyfriend threatened to leak a sex tape with the k-pop idol in it. He threatened to upload footage of their intimate moments on the web as revenge porn following their 30-minute fight. Even though his lawyer stated that there were no such threats made and that filming the sex tape was Goo Hara’s idea to begin with, the statement doesn't sound so reliable because the ex-boyfriend had contacted Dispatch and suggested that he has information worthy of
