Q. You have wrapped up your solo activity successfully. How do you feel? Sungkyu: It was my first solo album in 3 years, and I did my best to promote the album. Before releasing the album, I talked to Nell's Kim Jong Wan, "I hope I can be proud of the album." I'm proud of it now.
Q. You have double title tracks, 'Kontrol' and 'The Answer'. Are there any reasons you selected the two songs as title tracks? Sungkyu: At first, I considered 'Kontrol' and 'Alive' as title tracks. However, people said that 'The Answer' is more easy to listen to. After mastering 'The Answer', I thought the sound is really awesome. I'm deeply attached to the song.
Q. Both of the title tracks have gained great popularity, anyway. Sungkyu: Actually, I thought 'Kontrol' will be more popular than 'The Answer'. However, many people liked 'The Answer' better. Yeah, the outcome of the album is hard to foretell. I'm so grateful for my fans' infinite love.
Q. After you topped music chart show, did you talk with the Infinite members?
Sungkyu: Yeah, I made a boast of it and promised them that I will stand shot to them. I thought the members will never watch my performance on music chart show, but they watched it. They said it was good.
Q. Didn't they advise you?
Sungkyu: Hoya talked about dance performance. He told me that it would be better to show some more dance performance on stage. Well, I didn't accept his advice, though. He's a dancing machine, but I'm not.
Q. You are 27 years old, and the title of the album is '27' too. Is the album autobiographical?
Sungkyu: Nell's Kimg Jong Wan, who has produced the album, said that he wanted to tell my stories through the album. And I told him my life stories. However, I'm not sure if the album is autobiographical or not. I think some parts of the album is autobiographical. After being thirty, I want to sing about my life, loneliness, and happiness.
Q. Don't you have a plan to hold your solo concert?
Sungkyu: If I have a chance. I think I have sufficient songs to sing because I've released 2 mini albums. I have my solo songs that were included in INFINITE's album too. I want to hold my solo concert within this year if my agency allows it.
Q. When will INFINITE's new album be released?
Sungkyu: We're working on the album. We were originally scheduled to release the album in May 2015, but it was postponed. We'll hold an exclusive concert too.
Through YG entertainment's special hip hop project, Big Bang's G-Dragon and Taeyang formed a new sub unit GD X TAEYANG and released a single “Good Boy” in 2014. GD took part in writing the song as always, while the song has gained great popularity at home and abroad. After releasing the single, GD X TAEYANG gave an interview to various Korean media outlets and talked about their new album, friendship, and BIGBANG. The two friends GD and Taeyang were both born in 1988, and 14 years ago, they joined YG entertainment as trainees. And they’ve went through rigorous training together for 6 years to make a debut as members of BIGBANG. So, of course, they’ve been good friends both in joy and in sorrow for a long time and know each other better than anyone. About GD, Taeyang said as follows. "Actually, there are many differences between us. He has something I do not have, and I have something he does not have. For example, we have totally different home surroundings. I ha...

"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...
1988–2009: Early life and debut G-Dragon began his career at age five as part of the group Little Roo Ra. After releasing a Christmas album, the group's contract was terminated by their record company, which came as a shock to G-Dragon. After then, he was scouted by SM Entertainment while on a ski trip with his family. He was a trainee under the record label for five years, specializing in dance before he left, unclear about what he wanted to do. In third grade, G-Dragon was introduced to the American rap group Wu-Tang Clan by a friend. Inspired by their music, he developed an interest in rapping and began taking classes. Under People Crew's tutelage, he participated in the release of the Korean hip-hop album Flex in 2001, becoming the youngest Korean rapper at just 13 years old. Although he wrote his own lyrics, he admitted that his English was weak and the story behind the lyrics was just another typical "I'm young, but I'm the best." Additionall...
Big Bang is back with its new songs 'LOSER' and 'BAE BAE'. On May 4, I met the 5 members and interviewed them. As it has been too long since the 5 members all together were interviewed by Korean journalists, it seemed that they had much to say. Let's see what they talked about their music, love, and life. Big Bang's Music Q. You guys said you will release new singles on the first day of every month. It sounds like an uncommon project. Taeyang: Just a month before, we worked really hard to decide if we will release singles or a full album. Actually, we have highly satisfactory new songs and we wanted to release a full album which contains all of them. However, we also wanted to film music videos for all of the songs and that’s why we decided to release singles every month. Q. What kind of songs will you release from next month? Drop me a hint. Taeyang: What I want to say is that all of the songs are different. We will show you something very different e...
