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.
Boy Group of Melon: Big Bang, EXO and BEAST
Big Bang, one of the most popular kpop boy groups, is having its long hiatus, but the two talented members of the group, Taeyang and GD proved their unchanging power in the world of kpop by being ranked on the list with their solo songs. Taeyang's 'Eye Nose Lip' is ranked at No.3, while GD's 'Crooked' is ranked at No.19. EXO, who is leading the new generation of kpop, also proved its dominance in kpop world by making its 2 songs ranked on the top 30 list. BEAST's hits '12:30', 'Shadow', and 'Good Luck' are also included on the list, while the group's main vocalist Yang Yo Seop is ranked at No.22 with his solo song 'Caffeine'.
Rookie of Melon: Akdong Musician and Winner
It is never easy for rookie kpop idols to ranked on the top 30 list, but two competent rookies, Akdong Musician and Winner just made it. Akdong Musician has a total of two songs included on the list, '200%' and 'I Love You', and Winner's debut song 'Empty' is ranked at No.9, while it is notable that both of them are YG entertainment's new artists.
"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
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
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. However, it doesn't matter because not a few incompetent idols depend on their AR and just pretend to sing live. Black Microphone The black microphone is not offered by the broadcasting company. If an idol group's
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. The first thing they do when they arrive at their practicing rooms is give their cellphones and diaries to people who manage them. They get their cellphones back after the
In 2014, EXO's Chinese member Kris filed a lawsuit against SM entertainment, insisting that his exclusive contract with the agency should be nullified. And he finally left the agency, while another Chinese EXO member Luhan also filed a lawsuit against SM in the year. And in 2015, Tao decided to leave the agency too. After filing lawsuits, they said “SM didn't respect us at all. SM has treated us like subjects of control and determined our schedules unilaterally. And we had economic difficulties despite much work.” Well, I think many of k-pop fans may consider unfair contract between SM and the Chinese members as the main reason why the idol singers filed lawsuits. You know, it was not the first time that SM’s idol singer filed a lawsuit against the agency. The former TVXQ members Kim Junsu, Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong had been in a legal battle with SM for about 3 years, while Hangeng of Super Junior has also filed a lawsuit against SM, insisting that his contract wit
