Crisis of JYP
JYP entertainment is well known as one of the 3 biggest kpop agencies. Well, however, the agency couldn't live up to its name for the past few years. SM produced the most popular kpop idol group EXO, and YG's Akdong Musician and Winner made a successful debut, but JYP has made little progress in its effort.
Actually, some people in kpop world have already started to count FNC, home to FT Island, CNBLUE, and AOA, as the big 3 kpop agencies along with SM and YG. Let's see. Both FNC and JYP are listed companies. FNC has a market cap of about 271 billion won, while JYP has a 201 billion won market cap. And FNC's sales reached 60 billion won in 2014, while JYP's sales were 48 billion won.
Counterattack by JYP
However, JYP started to take an upturn after Miss A released its new song 'Only you' on March 30 2014. The song topped various online music charts, while Suzy's romance with Lee Minho has been the biggest issue of kpop world. And on April 12, Park Jin Young received the baton by releasing his song 'Who's your mama?'.(I think the song is one of the best kpop music of 2015) As first and second on online music charts, the two songs are now widely loved by music fans.
The interesting thing is that Miss A and Park Jin Young used opposite strategies. Miss A's song 'Only you' was written by a famous composing team Black Eyed Pilseung. Park Jin Young, the executive producer of JYP, didn't take part in writing any songs of the girl group's new album. But Park Jin Young's 'Who's your mama?' was written by himself. The song contains Park Jin Young's unique characteristics as a composer. Well, for now, nobody can stop JYP.
Gather momentum from this success, JYP is preparing for its new girl group's debut.
Still Lacks Promotional Skills
I've already pointed out JYP's lack of promotional skills through this article. Actually, even though Miss A and Park Jin Young made a big success, there still is something I can't understand.
Miss A released its album on the same day with EXO. Of course, Miss A's song is ranked higher than EXO's 'Call me baby' on online music charts. However, do you think the girl group will be able to win a first prize at music chart shows? Never. EXO overwhelms Miss A with its album sales and viewers' votes. JYP needed to delay Miss A's album release.
And it's also above comprehension that Park Jin Young released his song only 13 days after Miss A's album was released. Due to the popularity of 'Who's your mama?', Miss A's song is receiving relatively less attention from people. About this, before releasing the song, Park Jin Young strongly urged that he has to release the song at this time of year. That's why some people in kpop world are blaming him for being selfish.
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...
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...

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...
