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.
"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
There are so many girl groups in the world of kpop. When kpop agencies are preparing for their girl groups' debut, they consider numerous factors regarding Korean music market to produce a successful outcome. Many of you might think that girl groups have to capture male fans' hearts, while boy groups should use opposite strategy. However, it's not true. Female fans are usually more loyal to their stars than male fans are. Female fans buy concert tickets, CDs, and merchandises. Furthermore, female fans' love toward their stars last longer. That's why not only boy groups but also girl groups should target female fans. SM entertainment is the kpop agency which is so good at this. Whenever SM prepares for its girl group's debut or comeback, the SM staffs discuss about what they need to do to capture female fans' hearts. So, here are some requirements for kpop girl groups who are loved by female fans. 1. Stylish and attractive: Idol singer has to be a
Q. You made a comeback with your new songs "Playing with fire" and "Stay." How do you feel? Rose: We've worked really hard on preparing for our comeback. Please give us lots of love. Jisoo: We made a comeback but it feels like it's our debut. Frankly speaking, I've been really worried if people are not interested in us because we didn't appear in many TV programs since our debut. Lisa: We prepared so much to show great performance. Please look forward to it. Jennie: I feel very nervous and excited at the same time. Q. It seems like Yang Hyun Suk cares much about you. Jisoo: He always sends us encouraging messages and says nice things about us. I think it is because we're rookies. He is like our father. Jennie: When we won a No.1 trophy on a music chart show, he captured the TV screen and sent it to us with a congratulatory message. Q. How were your trainee years? Lisa: It was hard for me to communicate with other people becaus
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
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
