On April 15, a legendary Korean hip hop duo Jinusean made a comeback with its new song 'Tell me one more time'. It is the group's first song in 11 years, while the two members, Jinu and Sean held a press conference to celebrate its album release. At the event, they talked about their new song, long hiatus, YG, and Big Bang's upcoming new album. Let's see what they talked about them.
Q. You released your new song after a long hiatus. How do you feel? Sean: When we released our song 'Phone number' in 2004, nobody in kpop world wasn't interested in a digital single album. Actually, 'Tell me one more time' is our first ever digital single. It's an interesting thing in itself to release a digital single. Jinu: Thank Tablo for writing the great song. And thanks to Yang Hyun Suk, we were able to finish all the things about the song just in a month. We do want to honor YG family.
Q. What have you done for the last 11 years? Sean: We focused on training juniors and taking care of their activities in foreign countries. Now, we're planning for our activities overseas. I've always been dreaming of performing on stage. Jinu: Yeah, we're looking forward to our activities overseas. When we perform in front of overseas fans, I think we have to conceal our age. Please close your eyes to our white lie.(He was born in 1971 and Sean was born in 1972) I didn't have the heart to make a come back as a singer, but I thought this was our last chance.
Q. Tell me about 'Tell me one more time'. YG's trainee Jang Hanna is featured in the song as a singer. Sean: It's a easy-listening new disco music. At first, Jang Hanna sang a demo version of the song, and I thought her voice is really suitable for the song. Jinu: Her voice is very attractive.
Q. Didn't YG family say something about your comeback? Sean: Epik High told us that they thank us for releasing the song. They had worries about their future because they were worried if they can do hip hop music even when they get old. Jinu: Winner, Lee Hi, and iKON congratulated us on releasing new song by sending text messages. Frankly speaking, they do not send us text messages at other times.(laugh) And, oh, Big Bang's G-Dragon and Taeyang also congratulated us. The two were originally planned to appear on our music video, but they couldn't because of their schedule in LA. I've already listened to Big Bang's upcoming new songs to be released in May. I think it will be Big Bang's best ever album. Big Bang is some piece of work. Just 2 weeks left for Jinusean to promote 'Tell me one more time', haha. Yang Hyun Suk said that we have to be honored to be second behind Big Bang.
Q. You have perform on various music chart shows. Is your stamina OK? Jinu: I think Sean is OK because he ran in a marathon. I will try not to collapse on stage. I watched our old videos and we were so energetic. Now, I don't think I can do that. Yang Hyun Suk designed the choreography for 'Tell me one more time'.
Q. Will you release your next album? Jinu: YG's producers including Teddy, Tablo, and Psy are now working hard on our new songs. I think we can release our new album within this year.
"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
There are so many girl groups in the world of kpop. When kpop agencies are preparing for their girl groups' debut, they consider numerous factors regarding Korean music market to produce a successful outcome. Many of you might think that girl groups have to capture male fans' hearts, while boy groups should use opposite strategy. However, it's not true. Female fans are usually more loyal to their stars than male fans are. Female fans buy concert tickets, CDs, and merchandises. Furthermore, female fans' love toward their stars last longer. That's why not only boy groups but also girl groups should target female fans. SM entertainment is the kpop agency which is so good at this. Whenever SM prepares for its girl group's debut or comeback, the SM staffs discuss about what they need to do to capture female fans' hearts. So, here are some requirements for kpop girl groups who are loved by female fans. 1. Stylish and attractive: Idol singer has to be a
Q. You made a comeback with your new songs "Playing with fire" and "Stay." How do you feel? Rose: We've worked really hard on preparing for our comeback. Please give us lots of love. Jisoo: We made a comeback but it feels like it's our debut. Frankly speaking, I've been really worried if people are not interested in us because we didn't appear in many TV programs since our debut. Lisa: We prepared so much to show great performance. Please look forward to it. Jennie: I feel very nervous and excited at the same time. Q. It seems like Yang Hyun Suk cares much about you. Jisoo: He always sends us encouraging messages and says nice things about us. I think it is because we're rookies. He is like our father. Jennie: When we won a No.1 trophy on a music chart show, he captured the TV screen and sent it to us with a congratulatory message. Q. How were your trainee years? Lisa: It was hard for me to communicate with other people becaus
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
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
