Why did APink's Namjoo have to explain that she didn't receive special admission into university?


APink's Kim Namjoo will be a college student.

She has been accepted into Sungkyunkwan University’s Department of Performing Arts, while it is said that she has a strong will for her studies and she plans to switch back and forth between promotions and studying by attending school on days when she has no schedules.

This definitely calls for celebration! By the way, A Cube entertainment, the idol star's agency, had to explain that she didn't receive special admission into the university. The agency stated, "Namjoo took the performance test under same conditions with the other students. The professors even didn't know who Namjoo is." 

"The enthusiasm for education in Korea is really high. Actually, Koreans' passion for their children's education is so great that it is thought to be excessive.(Korea’s polarization is getting worse, and people think that education is the only way to get a better social status) So, Koreans are so sensitive about college admission, and those who are against special admissions for entertainers believe that it is inherently unfair. Namjoo didn't receive a free pass to the university, but it's true that she got into the university on her merits as an entertainer. She didn't apply for regular admission. She applied for 'special talents' admission. That's why Namjoo is still criticized by some people."

"In Korea, there is intense competition between colleges to attract students. I don't know what's happening in foreign countries, but many colleges in Korea are now in financial difficulties. Accepting famous entertainers as their students is absolutely beneficial for the colleges because they can expect great effect of public relations. However, I wonder if the busy stars can attend their classes well. What is college life without attending the classes? For this reason, many famous kpop stars including IU, Suzy, Taemin, Sulli and more gave up on going to college."

About MR, AR, LMR and LAR: Do Kpop Idols Really Sing Live?

"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

K-pop Trainee’s Daily Schedule

Image
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.

Image
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
