On August 17, popular kpop idol group VIXX's sub-unit VIXX LR, composed of Leo and Ravi, released its first ever mini album 'Beautiful Liar'. The album has a total of 5 songs including the title track 'Beautiful Liar', while the two talented members took part in writing all the tracks of the album. With the release of the album, VIXX LR held a showcase and talked about the album.
Q. Tell me about your first mini album. Ravi: It's the first album of VIXX's first sub-unit, VIXX LR, composed of Leo and me, and we put so much work into the album. Especially, I'm deeply attached to 'Beautiful Liar' because it is the title track and we've worked so hard on it.
Q. What made you decide to form VIXX LR? Ravi: It was our company's intention to form a sub-unit which is composed of two members who can write and produce songs. Leo: We wanted to show a new side of VIXX by forming the sub-unit.
Q. Just as you said, VIXX LR is VIXX's first ever sub-unit. Didn't you feel pressure about it? Ravi: Yeah, I felt pressured about it, but I was looking forward to the album too. And we were so nervous because we wrote all the songs of the album. I'm glad many people like our songs.
Q. What does your group name VIXX LR mean? Ravi: LR is the initial of our names, Leo and Ravi. But there is another meaning of LR. It represents "Left and Right," which means oppositions and contrasts. Leo and I have different characteristics but we perform together on stage.
Q. What do you think each other's merit is? Leo: Ravi is really energetic. I'm so proud of him when he shows free style dance and rap performance. When we formed VIXX LR, I was sure that I could create a synergy effect with him. Ravi: Leo has a unique and lyrical atmosphere. He is both similar and different to me.
Q. What do you want to achieve through your first mini album? Ravi: As a producer and as a rapper, I want to show fans various different aspects. And we want to be a group who has a distinct characteristic. Of course, we have an urge to take the No.1 ranking of music chart shows. If we take the top spot, we'll hold a guerrilla concert.
(VIXX's N, Hongbin and Ken also attended the showcase and supported their team mates.)
"Leo and Ravi have stayed up all night preparing for the album. I think their efforts paid off. They got a satisfactory result." - N "They underwent so many trials and errors. They couldn't even return home because they were up all night working on the album. I was worried about their health, but I think they have not suffered in vain." -Hongbin
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
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
"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
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
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
