YG Entertainment's new boy group iKON finally revealed itself. On September 15, the group made a debut by releasing its warm-up single 'My Type'.
Hip Hop Based Music
Have you all listened to the song? As it is well known, the YG artists do hip hop based music. And iKON's debut song 'My Type' is a well made hip hop piece too, while B.I and Bobby took part in writing the song. Through the song, iKON, who is considered as the only EXO vs, shows its unique style of music. So, do you think iKON will be able to catch up with EXO, who debuted in 2012 and has already become the most popular kpop idol group? Well, as always, it's a matter of choice between YG artist's individuality and SM's systematic producing ability.
Younger than Big Bang
As you know, the iKON members are much younger than the Big Bang members. Well, by the way, iKON's music is younger than Big Bang too. 'My Type' is the song about a boy who likes everything about a girl. In the song, the boy is described as being pure and innocent. And through the song, the iKON members sing about love of young people in their late teens to early 20s, unlike Big Bang who includes more mature feelings in its songs. Yeah, it's a shift in generations. It is expected that iKON will be YG's most popular teen idol group in the near future.
More Sensuous than Winner YG's Winner debuted in 2014 with its debut song 'Empty'. Just like iKON's debut song 'My Type', the song was an emotional hip hop music, while B.I and Bobby took part in writing the song. However, 'My Type' is a more sensuous music because it has very catchy chorus and easier melody line to sing along to. It's refined and trendy.(Apart from the music, characteristics of the two groups' members' had an influence on this kind of assessment. Winner has a great low tone rapper Song Minho, and he gets abreast of iKON's low tone rapper Bobby. However, Winner doesn't have as competitive high tone rapper as iKON's B.I, while Winner's main vocalist Kang Seung Yoon's voice doesn't seem to be suitable for hip hop based music)
Grand Scale Debut Project
After warming up with its single 'My Type', iKON will release a mini album on October 1. After then, the boy group's full album will be released on November 2. The album will has a total of 12 tracks. By the way, it is very notable that the group will hold a debut concert at the Gymnastics Stadium in Olympic Park on October 3. It is unusual for a rookie idol group to hold a concert soon after its debut, while it is more startling that iKON's debut concert will be held at the Gymnastics Stadium in Olympic Park. It is the biggest indoor concert hall in Korea, and very few popular idol groups can hold their concerts at the stadium because it's hard to fill the concert hall. Well, YG is confident of iKON's success that much.
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
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
"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
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
