On September 30, Ailee released her first ever full album and held a comeback showcase in Seoul. As you may know, she broke her toe when she filmed music video on September 7 and she had to sing her new songs in her chair at the showcase. However, the kpop diva caught eyes and ears of people by showing outstanding singing performance. Here's what Ailee talked about her first full album.
Q. It has been 3 years and 7 months since you debuted, and you finally released your first full album. How do you feel? Ailee: Actually, I feel burdened about my full album. I couldn't release my full album because I thought I was not ready. I wanted to put much effort into my full album, and much time has passed because I had to collect good songs. I want to show a vivid color of my music through my first ever full album. As always, I want to give the album ten out of ten.
Q. Your fans are worried because of your injury. Ailee: I had many great things to show, but it's sad that I can't show all of them because of my injury. I want to say sorry to my fans. However, I wanted to see my fans as soon as possible. That's why I made a comeback in spite of my injury.
Q. Then can't you show your dance performance on the stage? Ailee: To my regret I have to sing my new songs in my chair because I hurt my toe. I will try to express emotions through my eyes.
Q. It seems that you always show your strong character in your songs.
Ailee: The composers always give me songs about a strong woman. I think that kind of song reminds the composers of me. Actually, I like to sing some lovely songs too. I'm a teary woman.
Q. It's notable that you took part in writing 7 out of 10 tracks of the album.
Ailee: I focused on story lines when I wrote the lyrics of the songs. For example, 'Second Chance' is the song about the real story of my close friend's junior colleague. The song has a funny love story.
Q. You went on a severe diet before you released 'Don't Touch Me' last year. Wasn't there any side-effect from dieting too much?
Ailee: As I lost my belly fat, I was lacking in strength when I sang. That's why I has started to exercise even though I can't exercise these days because of my injury. I broke my toe only 3 weeks after I started exercise.
Q. So, what's your goal as a singer?
Ailee:I want to keep challenging myself. I will always try new genres of music. And I want to hear that I sing very well now and for ever.
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
