Q. You release your solo album. What made you decide to debut as a solo singer? Hyunseung: I think all the idol singers dream of it. As a member of group, it is hard to show my own character. But I can show off my identity as a solo singer. I think BEAST is a very attractive team, and I want to prove that the BEAST members are not only competent as a team but also as solo singers.
Q. So, is there any difference between your activity as a member of you team and as a solo singer? Hyunseung: We need to achieve a comprise during our group activity. If I speak up, it makes the other members tired. However, I took part in many things about my solo album. I took part in making costumes, choreography, and teaser video. I think it made our company employees tired.(laugh) So I titled the album "My."
Q. What is your goal as a solo singer? Hyunseung: I do not enjoy business. And I do not want to show exaggerated performance. I want to carry weight with a lot of people as a solo singer.
Q. It seems that you always try to show off your sexy charm on stage. Hyunseung: Frankly speaking, I'm not that sexy man. Through my solo album, I tried to show my cute and bright side. There are some sexy scenes in the music video, but it's nothing like what I did as a member of BEAST and Trouble Maker.
Q. You filmed sexy scenes with actress Hwang Seung Un. How was it? Hyunseung: Yeah, I scribble on her breasts and kiss her inside the elevator. I was not close with her and it was so embarrassing to film such scenes. When I filmed sexy scenes with Hyuna, it was much more easy because she is my labelmate. I think Hwang Seung Un led me well. And the elevator scene was much more erotic, but it's edited. It was not a real kiss.
Q. Don't you feel any pressure when people say your are a representative sexy male singer? Hyunseung: Yeah, I feel uncomfortable about the title. I think blatant kind of sexy concept is not adapted to me. I wanted to convey natural and casual feelings through my solo album.
Q. What was the hardest thing about releasing your solo album? Hyunseung: It was really hard to select the title track. I eventually selected 'Ma First' as a title track, but 'Breakup with him' is a great song too. I've worked on 'Breakup with him' for a month and a half.
Q. Big Bang made a comeback by releasing its new songs 'LOSER' and 'BAE BAE' on May 1. Don't you feel uncomfortable releasing your album around the same time? Hyunseung:Big Bang is a really huge name. It's just absurd that I face off against the group. Actually, I didn't want to release my album in May but it couldn't be helped due to fixed schedules. I filmed a documentary program with them when I was a trainee, and I'm proud of them for growing up as a huge group. And it's happy that I'm also loved by many people as a member of BEAST.
Q. What is your real personality like? Hyunseung: I'm not the right man for being an entertainer. I'm not active and I'm afraid of strangers. And I'm quiet and enjoy being alone. I think I was lucky. Fortunately, I'm excited when I perform on stage.
Q. When you date somebody, do you usually lead her? Hyunseung: No, I think I'm a bad guy. Even if I like somebody, I do not give her everything. I have a curt manner when I date, and I do not cling to girls. If it's over, it's over.
Q. Don't have plan to write your own songs? Hyunseung: I have an urge to write my own songs. I want to show off my musical talent and earn royalties. I usually write lyrics and make melodies but I think I'm not better than professional song writers yet.
Q. Tell me about BEAST's comeback plan. Hyunseung: We're working on the album. Please wait a bit longer. I think we will be able to make a comeback before summer is over.
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...

As a k-pop journalist, I’ve been trying to find a way of deciding k-pop idol groups’ rankings more objectively. I’ve asked several people in the k-pop industry for the objective standard to decide the rankings, and some of them gave me a hint about it. 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. And if an idol group has a very high public recognition, in other words, if the group is ranked high on the k-pop idol group ranking, the group can get paid ...

What is GD’s role in BIGBANG? As the main producer of BIGBANG, G-Dragon took part in writing most of BIGBANG’s songs. He doesn’t do all the things alone, though. 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...
