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.
"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
