Q. You released your first ever solo single 'Ordinary Love'. When did the preparations for the song begin? Park Kyung: It was last December. Actually, I really hoped to work with jazz hip hop artist Kero One, who took part in writing the song. I told him that I want to work with him, and we worked on our music through e-mail.
Q. Tell me about the song 'Ordinary Love'. Park Kyung: You know, Block B usually does maniac hip hop music. However, I wanted to release lyrical music as a solo singer. I always write a memo whenever new themes of songs come into my mind. The lyrics of 'Ordinary Love' are from my memo too. People learn about each other, love each other and part from each other. That's 'Ordinary Love'.
Q. Park Boram is featured in the song as a singer. Is there any reason for that? Park Kyung: I really like the melody line of the song's intro. I thought that the repeated melody line should be sung by a female singer. I asked my agency if Park Boram can take part in the song. She did a great job.
Q. So, what did you learn by your first solo album?
Park Kyung: It's true that I settled for the present when I was active as a member of Block B. But during my hiatus, I realized that I should build up brand power of myself. I've been always confident in my music but I had no chance to show it. Starting from now, I'll try hard to let people know about my music.
Q. Block B got into trouble several times since you debuted in 2011. Do you feel uncomfortable about it?
Park Kyung: Well, when I filmed 'Problematic Man', I was leaning on my one foot. But suddenly it came into my head that it can be an issue. I even asked Jeon Hyun Moo if it is OK to stand in such a position. I think I feel uncomfortable about how people see me.
Q. It has been 4 years since you debuted. What can be said about the relationship among the Block B members?
Park Kyung: We take care of each other. For example, I hate that someone wakes me up when I'm sleeping. That's why the members try to be quiet when I'm sleeping. And my room mate Taeil hates that someone touches his clothes. So I always care about it. You know, the fight starts with a trivial misunderstanding.
Q. I heard that you've dropped out of Block B before your debut.
Park Kyung: Yeah, in the past, I was strong-hearted and never tried to read other people's mind. However, my agency said that I'm not gonna be Block B's member and I should be the leader of another idol group. It was my first time to experience failure in my life. It hurt me and I changed. I just laid in bed, refusing all food and drink. I care much about other people these days. Some say I became mature but others say it's cowardly of me.
Q. What's your goal as a singer?
Park Kyung: There are 3 options for idols. Those are entertainment program, drama, and music. For me, music is the way to go. I have a great deal to offer. I want to win recognition from the public as a singer. And I want to do music now and forever.
1988–2009: Early life and debut G-Dragon began his career at age five as part of the group Little Roo Ra. After releasing a Christmas album, the group's contract was terminated by their record company, which came as a shock to G-Dragon. After then, he was scouted by SM Entertainment while on a ski trip with his family. He was a trainee under the record label for five years, specializing in dance before he left, unclear about what he wanted to do. In third grade, G-Dragon was introduced to the American rap group Wu-Tang Clan by a friend. Inspired by their music, he developed an interest in rapping and began taking classes. Under People Crew's tutelage, he participated in the release of the Korean hip-hop album Flex in 2001, becoming the youngest Korean rapper at just 13 years old. Although he wrote his own lyrics, he admitted that his English was weak and the story behind the lyrics was just another typical "I'm young, but I'm the best." Additionall...
"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...
Q. Your acting performance in your drama "The Good Wife" was well received by the public. I wonder why you didn’t begin your career as an actress earlier. Nana: I wanted to act a long time ago but I was not ready. Actually, there have been many chances and I had auditions too. I just couldn't seize the chance. Q. What do people around you talk about the drama? Nana: They say they thought I'd not be good at acting but I did better than expected. Q. Didn't you feel much pressure because you had to play the unordinary character who is bisexual as an idol star? Nana: Well, I think I'm not an idol star when I act. The character was very attractive, and I had 5 times of auditions because I really wanted to take the role. Q. How do you practice your acting? Nana: It's been a long time since I began to learn vocalization and basic skills of acting. And I've been learning from my new teacher Ahn Jieun since 2014. I've learned a lot from her. ...
The location of k-pop idols' dorms Most of k-pop idols live close to their agencies. There are two reasons for it. First, it's important for k-pop idols to live close to their practice rooms because they spend a great deal of time in practicing. Second, from the point of view of k-pop agencies, it's easy for them to manage their idols if idols live close to their agencies. And sometimes, k-pop idols live close to hair shops to handle their time effectively. Here are places where many k-pop idol groups' dorms are located. Gangnam, Cheongdam, nearby Youngdong bridge, nearby Konkuk University, Hapjeong and nearby Hongik University. A notable thing is that most of k-pop agencies don't let their idol groups live close to idol groups of the opposite sex. When do they move? Most of the time, the period of k-pop idols' lease contract is 2 years. So, they usually move out every 2 years. Of course, if they want to move to a very nice house, they should bec...
