On September 7, Monsta X made a comeback with its second mini album 'Rush'. The album has a total of 6 songs including the title track 'Rush', while the title song is about a man who tells a woman not to take her eyes off him. After releasing the album, the 7 Monsta X members held a comeback showcase in Seoul and talked about their new album.
Q. So, it is your second mini album. How do you feel about the album? Minhyuk: We've been hard at work on the album. We're confident of the album, and I hope many fans will enjoy the performance. Wonho: During our hiatus, I really wanted to make a comeback as soon as possible. I'm so excited now. Hyungwon: I was so nervous before holding the showcase, but I feel relaxed now.
Q. Tell me about the title track 'Rush'. I.M: When I listened to the song for the first time, I thought it is really excellent song. The song is like shrimp snack. Once you start listening to the song, you won't want to stop it.
Kuhyun: Through the song, we attract a woman. The song is more cheerful and exciting than our debut song 'Trespass'.
Q. When do you realize that you've become popular?
Wonho: Actually, we don't. I think we will be able to realize our popularity if we become a candidate for No.1 spot on music chart shows.
Minhyuk: As we don't go out and always practice at our company, we can't realize our popularity.
Q. Jooheon, you appeared on Mnet's 'Show Me The Money 4'. How was it?
Jooheon: I've learned a lot from the program. When I was eliminated from the tournament, it was heartbreaking. But I could think about my past mistakes and why I failed. I have many things to show in the future.
Q. I.M, you are a rapper too. Don't you want to appear on 'Show Me The Money'?
I.M: If I have a chance, I want to. I want to show people what I have.
Q. Jooheon, do you think I.M will do good job in the tournament of 'Show Me The Money'?
Jooheon: The atmosphere of the tournament was really cold. I think the most important thing is self-confidence. If he feels confident, he will be able to advance to the finals.
Q. What was the hardest thing about preparing for your new album?
I.M: Jooheon and I took part in writing lyrics of 'Rush', but we had no enough time. We had to write the lyrics in our car when we were on the move, and we had to reduce our sleep.
Kihyun: We modified our choreography more than 10 times. Whenever the choreography was modified, we had to learn new choreography.
Q. Juheon, you finally took off your snapback. You won't wear your snapback any more? Juheon: I never took off my snapback when I performed 'Tresspass'. So some people said that the snapback might be fixed on my head. Anyway, I took it off and had my hair dyed.
Q. What kind of attraction do you want to accentuate through your new song? Kihyun: We will show mischievous performance with a roguish smile. We will jump and play around cheerfully on stage.
Hyungwon: Yeah, that's how we usually spend time with each other.
Q. As you know, YG's new boy group iKON is going to debut soon. It seems that you have to face against the group. What do you think of it? Minhyuk: I think their concept is different from ours. I don't think about competition. I just want to go together with them because we are different. Kihyun: I think we can learn many things from the team. I hope we will be able to learn a lot.
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
"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
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
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
