Q. You release your new album after a long hiatus, while it is notable that you wrote all the tracks in the album. BoA: Yeah, the album is more meaningful than any other albums I released. I'm so nervous and just the thought of the album makes my heart flutter. I've worked on the album for more than a year.
Q. Before releasing the album, your new song 'Who Are You' was pre-released. It seems that many people like the song. How do you feel? BoA: Actually, I never expected. I was bemused with such a good result. I think it's thanks to Gaeko who was featured in the song as a rapper. I wanted to show a variety of performance through different kinds of music in the album.
Q. Eddy Kim is featured in your song 'Double Jack'. Are you close with him? BoA: No, not at all. Actually, I've never met him. I tried to visit the recording studio when he was recording the song, but I couldn't due to tight schedules. I want to meet him later. I think his voice is very sweet.
Q. Where do you get the inspiration for writing your songs? BoA: I'm inspired by many things. For example, before I wrote the song 'Green Light' which is included in the album, I watched the TV show 'Witch Hunt'. I really like the program. I watch it on Friday night and wrote the song on Saturday.
Q. I think your attachment to the album should be very strong because you wrote all the tracks. BoA: Yeah, that's right. I wrote about 20 songs for a year without any rest. I selected 12 songs out of them. The album has various music including up-tempo music, ballad, and acoustic music. And I wanted to write the lyrics about a realistic breakup. I worked really hard for the album, and I learned a lot from it.
Q. What made you decide to write all the songs in your new album? BoA: At our company meeting held in April 2014, I announced that I will release my new album which is full with my own songs in 2015. I just said so and regretted it later.(laugh) It was a big challenge for me and I feel really great about having completed the work successfully. And it was happy to become close with many composers through the process of making album.
Q. EXO's Sehun appeared on the music video of 'Who Are You'. Did you select him? BoA: No, director of the music video did. He thought that Sehun is the type of man all the women want.
Q. Let's talk about the title track 'Kiss My Lips'. BoA: I think I showed power performances when I sang 'Hurricane Venus' and 'Only One'. This time, I wanted to show some womanly things. Actually, I wanted to wear pretty high heels on stage. And I wanted to wear a skirt instead of baggy pants. I've never worn a skirt when I performed in Korea. So I wrote the womanly song.
Q. Do you think 'Kiss My Lips' will be able to make a good score on music charts? BoA: Unlike 'Who Are You', 'Kiss My Lips' is the song which is focused on its stage performance. I hope it will make a good score on music charts, but please just enjoy the stage performance.
Q. Did prepare for any special performance for 'Kiss My Lips'? BoA: Huge fans will appear on stage. That is the interesting point of the choreography.
Q. Are you going to produce other SM artists' songs too? BoA: I feel a little bit uncomfortable producing their albums because they are the singers of distinct individuality. Well, the company told me to write SM Rookies' song before. I think it is important for an album producer to help singers show off their talents on stage.
Q. It has been 15 years since you debuted. Will you hold any special event to celebrate your 15th anniversary?
BoA: Nothing is confirmed yet, but I think I have to do something including my concert. And I will try to reduce the interval between my albums. Next album can be released sooner than expected.
Kpop girl group AOA transformed into sexy cheer leaders. The group recently took part in MBC's 'World Cup Cheer Show', and revealed a photo of itself through official Facebook page. At the program, the members sang 'Spread your wings of victory', wishing for the Korean team's victory at 2014 World Cup in Brazil. AOA will release its new mini album in June. Check out the video of AOA singing 'Spread your wings of victory'.
On October 28 2016, DSP Media officially announced that the 7th-year girl group Rainbow will be disbanded and each member will go their separate ways. Actually, so many people in the k-pop world feel sorry for Rainbow because the girl group members have been working very sincerely and they've never caused any trouble. And they've always been treating people around them very kindly too. In addition, they've been getting along very well with each other for a long time. Well, however, the problem comes down to the girl group's popularity. Rainbow has released many albums since its debut in 2009 but couldn't become one of the most popular k-pop idol groups, unfortunately. One of the reasons for Rainbow's failure was DSP Media's lack of producing ability, but the girl group was also very unlucky because there were so many competitive rival girl groups who debuted in 2009 along with Rainbow such as 2NE1, After School, 4minute, f(x), T-ara and Secret. Anyway...
It was shocking and sad news. SHINee's Jonghyun died on December 18, 2017. He has suffered from severe depression, and before committing suicide, he sent his sister a text message that read "It has been hard. Please let me go. This is my last goodbye". Countless people are expressing their sorrow at the idol star's death, and many celebrities including Girls' Generation, Super Junior, EXO, Red Velvet, BTS, IU and ZICO have visited his mortuary to express their condolences. 4 SHINee members, Onew, Minho, Key and Taemin played the role of chief mourner. Some of you might wonder why such a famous star committed suicide, but it's true that some Korean stars are suffering from severe depression. They're always controlled by their agencies, and they feel rushed due to anxiety of the future. In the Korean entertainment industry, they fiercely compete to survive, and it's never easy to overcome the severe mental pressure. That's why some celebrities...
There are many beautiful Korean female celebrities, but it's true that many of them got plastic surgeries. And some of their faces look so unnatural and emotionless, which draw unwelcome attention from the public. But, unlike the artificial plastic beauties, Seolhyun succeeded in catching eyes of people by showing off her innocent and natural appearance. After appearing in a commercial for SK Telecom, AOA's Seolhyun became the hottest female idol star in Korea. She's been active as a model for various brands, while she was also appointed as PR ambassador for Korea's general selection. She's now one of the highest-paid female kpop idols. Yeah, it seems like nothing can stop her. The notable thing about Seolhyun’s real personality is that she is very mild and meek. The natural beauty behaves in natural ways as if she is an ordinary young girl, and this is why she finds favor in everyone's sight. She is a little bit shy, and she usually says softly and quietl...
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?...
