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.
"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
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

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
