Do you like the popular TV show 'Running Man'? And which member do you like the most among the 7 running men, Yoo Jaesuk, Haha, Song Jihyo, Gary, Kimg Jongkook, Lee Gwangsoo, and Ji Sukjin? Well, all the members are popular, but I think Gary is one of the most popular members. He is a funny guy with a dry sense of humor, while his special relationship with Song Jihyo a matter of great concern to the 'Running Man' fans.
However, Gary is not just a funny guy. He is a member of famous hip hop duo Leessang along with his best friend Gil, and he has been active as a competitive rapper in Korea since 1999. He has his own world of music, and his rhyme and flow as a rapper are definitely different from the other rappers. That's why he's been loved by so many people not only as an entertainer but also as a hip hop musician for a long time.
On September 21, Gary released his first ever solo full album. The album has a total of 10 tracks including 2 title songs, 'Get Some Air' and 'Butt'. Have you all listened to the songs? Well, the album is musically great and it has outstanding lyrics written by Gary.
I'm sorry I can't convey the exact feelings of the Korean lyrics to you. You know, even if I translate the lyrics, I can't convey the whole feelings and atmospheres of the songs. Actually, Gary's lyrics are of high quality and poetic. Many of rappers like to bluff but Gary doesn't. He's frank and straightforward when he raps.
In 'Get Some Air', Gary talks about parting with a woman. But it's not a common song about love and parting. Gary made the song special by talking about his own stories and experiences without using stories about others. The song includes lyrics such as "Love goes away and I'm just a man living alone. It's so easy for me to put in the right amount of water for ramen noodles. I sometimes talk to myself and I'm living with a lonely sofa. I watch TV drama movie before going to bed. Time just keeps passing even without you, and I keep my cell phone turned off because you will never call me."
And in 'Butt', Gary sings about a physical relationship between man and woman. So you remember Gary's solo song 'Shower Later' that was released in January 2014? Just like in the song, Gary describes about human desires and sex with straightforward and erotic expressions in 'Butt'. It is blatant but doesn't draw unwelcome attention.
Through the album '2002', Gary talks about all the things about his years of career as a rapper. When he began his career, he was paid only 300,000 won(about 255 USD) in return for rapping 8 bars. However, he now became a big shot who is paid tens of millions of won for 8 bars of his rap. He says he has achieved his dream and his final goal is to become a playboy who wanders the whole world.
One of the best kpop albums that are released in 2015! Gary certainly showed off his outstanding ability as a hip hop musician through the album.
"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
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
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
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
