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.
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?...
"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...
