In the k-pop industry, k-pop agency’s capital strength and power have a decisive effect on its idol group’s success. So, nobody in the industry expected that GFrined, a girl group of a very small agency will achieve such a huge success. Some people say GFriend was just lucky because the girl group could receive great attention from many people when the video clip of the members falling down on the stage again and again has become an online sensation. Well, but that’s not all. Let’s see how GFriend could overcome its limitations as a girl group of a small agency.
First, GFriend could catch the eyes of people with its pure but energetic conception. When GFriend debuted, the members captivated k-pop fans’ hearts by showing off their pure and innocent charm. However, the girls, who look very vulnerable showed energetic and powerful dance performance on the stage. In this way, they highlighted their attraction as lively teenage girls and differentiated themselves from the other girl groups. Some people in the k-pop industry even say the idea of GFriend’s agency was a stroke of genius.
Second, GFriend fascinated k-pop fans by singing songs with catchy and familiar melodies. When GFriend debuted, the girl group was faced with an unexpected difficulty because there was much debate over the originality of “Glass Bead” among netizens. The Netizens insisted that GFriend plagiarized Girls' Generation's old hit “Into the New World.” It seems that no one can deny that the two songs sound alike, but, I can't say that GFriend copied Girls' Generation's song, either. A complicated story, huh? Well, in the world of k-pop, we call this kind of thing "reference." When k-pop idol groups prepare for their debut, their agencies usually search for great examples. And yeah, for GFriend and its agency, Girls’ Generation was the great example to refer to.
Anyway, since its debut, GFriend has been releasing songs with catchy and familiar melodies which remind people of dance music of the 90s and 2000s like “Into the New World,” and the songs could become hits because most of the general public likes easy and familiar music.
There is a rumor that Girls' Generation's Taeyeon and Jessica have dated various male kpop stars. Well, the idol stars are ordinary people, in a certain sense, but, what do you think? I can say rumors are just rumors. Anyway, the content below is based on some netizens' opinions. They say Taeyeon dated JYJ's Kim Junsu when the male idol star was in SM entertainment. Taeyeon & Super Junior's Kangin: Do you think Taeyeon is jealous of the actress Lee Yoon Ji, who appeared on 'We Got Married' with Kangin? Oh, are those couple rings? They are a good match, anyway. And Taeyeon & Super Junior's Lee Teuk: They were rumored to wear various couple items as you can see in the pictures. Well, what do you think? Is it dependable? And as you know, Taeyeon is now dating EXO's Baekhyun. Let's talk about Jessica's dating history now. Some netizens insist that she dated JYJ's Kim Jae Joong when she was a train
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
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
"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
