BTOB made a comeback with its first full album on June 29. The album, title, 'Complete', has a total of 13 songs including the title track 'It's OK'. The boy group held a comeback showcase event in Seoul and talked about the album. Let's see how the BTOB members think about their first ever full album.
Q. Why did you choose 'It's OK' as the title track of your first full album? Isn't it uncommon for an idol group to choose ballad song as title track? Changsub: When we were preparing for the album, we were so confident. We weren't even afraid when the album was released. I think we can show what we can do best through the album. Eunkwang: When we listened to 'It's OK' for the first time, all of the members thought that it's really great song. The song really matches well with BTOB's style. Hyunsik: The song has empathic lyrics and sweet melody. It is an earnest song.
Peniel: It has been 4 years since we debuted, and we finally released our first full album. It is more meaningful that the members took part in making the album. Minhyuk: We thank our fans for waiting. Before releasing the album, just the thought of it made my heart flutter.
Q. Did you prepare any choreography for the ballad track? Peniel: It's not fancy dance, but we will show new performance by using chairs and mic stands on stage. Eunkwang: It is very emotional choreography. I want you to listen to the lyrics carefully and be healed by the song.
Q. Tell me about the music video of the song. Sungjae: We've usually shown our group dances through our music videos. But all the members acted this time. The music video is about overcoming hardships.
Q. Sungjae, you've appeared on some dramas. Did you advise the other members how to act? Sungjae: I don't think I act very well. All the members took acting lessons from same teacher. The other members do better than me, but they had no chance to show it. All the members acted really well in the music video. By the way, I think Eunkwang tries to look cute as he grows older.
Q. Sungjae, you are loved by so many people these days. You attracted people's attention by appearing on 'King of Masked Singer' and 'We Got married'.
Sungjae: I couldn't expect to gain popularity in such a short time. I'm nothing. It's an honor, and I feel responsible for what I do and what I say. I will work harder.
Eunkwang: Sungjae's success is a great motivation for the other members.
Q. Popular kpop girl groups such as SISTAR, AOA, and MAMAMOO are now promoting their new albums, while other famous girl groups including APink, Girls' Generation, Girl's Day, and 9 Muses will made comeback too. What do you think of the competition with the girl groups?
Changsub: I hope all the girl groups will be able to be healed by our song.
Eunkwang: I think we can differentiate ourselves from the girl groups because we released this kind of sweet song in summer.
Sungjae: We want to appeal to our fans by showing our singing ability and giving a heartwarming feeling. I don't want to compete with the girl groups. I like girl groups too.
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
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
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
"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
