There are so many kpop boy groups who debuted over recent years. Actually, the boy groups are too numerous to mention one by one. Some of them just disappeared before one knows, while only a very small minority of them became popular. By the way, there is a boy group who has been on the steady rise and succeeded in becoming a well-loved idol group. Yeah, that's BTS(Bangtan Boys).
"BTS is in Big Hit entertainment, which is not as big kpop agency as SM, YG, or JYP. That's one of the reasons why BTS' success is so interesting.(Even though there has been a controversy over the group's Sajaegi) Achieving success as a idol group of small and medium agency is much harder than you could ever have imagined. Furthermore, the members are not that handsome. Some of, maybe many of you may disagree with this, but they are not 'pretty boys' like EXO or SHINee members. Frankly speaking, I thought they are too ugly to be idols when I saw BTS for the first time. Well, I think they're so attractive now."
Then, how was BTS able to achieve success even though its company is not big? The boy group differentiated itself from the other new kpop boy groups by doing real hip hop music.(It's absurd to say BTS is actually doing "Real Hip Hop", but its music is more hip hop-like than the other kpop idol groups'.) The group made their own music and sang about teenager's life, arousing empathy from young kpop fans.(even though there was a plagiarism controversy over its song 'DOPE'. Do you think BTS copied Flo Rida's 'GDFR'?)
Add to this, the boy group succeeded in appealing to kpop fans because of its image of skilled hip hop idol. Oh, it's not just an image. The BTS members have sufficient performing skills and prove it on stage. They just enjoy their stage unlike other puppet like idol groups.
Especially, Rap Monster, who has polished his rap skill in Korean underground hip hop scene and debuted as a member of the boy group, is getting spotlight by showing off his excellent qualifications. As you know, he was featured as a rapper in the most album of MFBTY, comprised of Tiger JK, Yoon Mirae, and Bizzy, who are considered as heavyweights in Korean hip hop scene.
"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
