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.
"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
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

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
