Girl Group of Melon: APink and SISTAR
Some of you may wonder why you can't see the big names including Girls' Generation and 2NE1 on the ranking. However, this is what's actually happening on Melon now.(Before Psy's 'Gangnam Style' created a sensation in 2012, not many Korean people clicked "Like" on Melon) Among all the kpop girl groups, APink is really quite something. The girl groups hits, 'LUV', 'NoNoNo', and 'Mr.Chu' all made the top 30 list, while 'LUV' is the most liked song among all the kpop girl groups' hits except for Ladies' Code's 'I'm Fine Thank You'.(As you may know, the group was involved in a car accident that resulted in the deaths of EunB and Rise in 2014, and Korean people mourned over the death of them by listening the song) SISTAR's 'Loving U' and SISTAR 19's 'Gone Not Around Any Longer' were also liked by more than 60,000 people.

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.

If an idol group's...

So, in early 2017, I’ve collected data on k-pop idol groups’ activities to determine their rankings, and what I basically wanted to do was to measure k-pop idol groups' popularity and influence in the k-pop world numerically, just like the Korean Business Research Institute did. Some people might think it’s just something for people to gossip about, but it’s not. Actually, idol groups and their agencies really care about k-pop idol group ranking, and there is a good reason for it. Performing at various mini concerts is the main source of income of most of k-pop idol groups.

When he writes songs, he hears a variety of opinions from BIGBANG members, and he shares his idea with Teddy, a famous music producer of YG Entertainment to make better music. But you can say G-Dragon plays the largest role in writing BIGBANG’s songs because he usually creates main melodies of the songs. And he plays a huge role in BIGBANG’s concerts too. He is such an experienced performer so that he knows well about all the things regar...
