On September 17, SHINee's Jonghyun released The Collection 'Story Op.1' which has a total of 9 songs including the title track 'End of a day'. Have you all listened to the songs?
Some of you might be curious why Jonghyun released "The Collection" not "mini album" or "full album." Well, "The Collection" means an album which includes informal and short songs. Singers usually release "The Collection" when they want to show their own characteristics as musicians instead of dwelling on musical formats and commercial success. That's why many competitive musicians such as Yoo Hee Yeol and Epik High release "The Collection," while idols don't(can't).
Jonghyun's releasing "The Collection" was possible thanks to his outstanding ability as a singer songwriter. He took part in writing all the tracks of "The Collection." He wrote the songs through his radio program 'Blue Night' and rearranged them before releasing "The Collection." All of the tracks are really great. Both musically and lyrically the songs are very effective. Jonghyun tried various music genres including pop, neo soul, ballad, and jazz, while the lyrics of the songs come home to the listeners' hearts.
There are so many kpop idols who write their own songs. But, I can't say all of them are competitive musicians. Who do you think are the top 3 singer songwriters among kpop idols? I would say those are Big Bang's G-Dragon, Block B's Zico, and Jonghyun. Jonghyun absolutely proved his outstanding musicality as a top 3 idol singer songwriter through "The Collection."
And it is expected that his performance as a solo musician will have a great effect on his company, SM Entertainment. SM seemed not to be interested in raising its artists as singer songwriters, but after Jonghyun made a great success with his first solo album which was released in January 2015, the winds of change are blowing in the company. Jonghyun is seen as the future of SM now because he will be active not only as a singer but also as a songwriter for years from now, which means there's a good chance that he will take part in many other SM artists' albums as a singer songwriter or producer.
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...

Big Bang is back with its new songs 'LOSER' and 'BAE BAE'. On May 4, I met the 5 members and interviewed them. As it has been too long since the 5 members all together were interviewed by Korean journalists, it seemed that they had much to say. Let's see what they talked about their music, love, and life. Big Bang's Music Q. You guys said you will release new singles on the first day of every month. It sounds like an uncommon project. Taeyang: Just a month before, we worked really hard to decide if we will release singles or a full album. Actually, we have highly satisfactory new songs and we wanted to release a full album which contains all of them. However, we also wanted to film music videos for all of the songs and that’s why we decided to release singles every month. Q. What kind of songs will you release from next month? Drop me a hint. Taeyang: What I want to say is that all of the songs are different. We will show you something very different e...
Stage Name: G-Dragon (GD) Real Name: Kwon Ji Yong Position: Leader, Main Rapper, Producer, Lyricist Birthdate: August 18, 1988 Birthplace: Seoul, South Korea Height: 177cm Weight: 58kg Blood Type: A Religion: Christian Languages: Korean, Japanese, English Hobbies: Collecting limited editions, writing lyrics School: Majored in Postmodern Music at KyungHee University Q. What is GD’s role in BIGBANG? As the main producer of BIGBANG, G-Dragon took part in writing most of BIGBANG’s songs. He doesn’t do all the things alone, though. When he writes songs, he hears a variety of opinions from BIGBANG members, and he shares his idea with Teddy, a famous music producer of YG Entertainment to make better music. But you can say G-Dragon plays the largest role in writing BIGBANG’s songs because he usually creates main melodies of the songs. And he plays a huge role in BIGBANG’s concerts too. He is such an experienced performer so that he knows well about all the things regar...
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...
