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.
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...

As a k-pop journalist, I’ve been trying to find a way of deciding k-pop idol groups’ rankings more objectively. I’ve asked several people in the k-pop industry for the objective standard to decide the rankings, and some of them gave me a hint about it. So, in early 2017, I’ve collected data on k-pop idol groups’ activities to determine their rankings, and what I basically wanted to do was to measure k-pop idol groups' popularity and influence in the k-pop world numerically, just like the Korean Business Research Institute did. Some people might think it’s just something for people to gossip about, but it’s not. Actually, idol groups and their agencies really care about k-pop idol group ranking, and there is a good reason for it. Performing at various mini concerts is the main source of income of most of k-pop idol groups. And if an idol group has a very high public recognition, in other words, if the group is ranked high on the k-pop idol group ranking, the group can get paid ...

When he writes songs, he hears a variety of opinions from BIGBANG members, and he shares his idea with Teddy, a famous music producer of YG Entertainment to make better music. But you can say G-Dragon plays the largest role in writing BIGBANG’s songs because he usually creates main melodies of the songs. And he plays a huge role in BIGBANG’s concerts too. He is such an experienced performer so that he knows well about all the things regar...
"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...
