On October 20, rookie girl group Twice made a debut by releasing its debut mini album 'The Story Begins' and holding a showcase event. The 9-member girl group is receiving attention from people as JYP Entertainment's first girl group in 5 years since Miss A debuted in 2010.
Well, which girl group do you think is the most successful among the rookie kpop girl groups who debuted in 2014 and 2015? Without a doubt, it's Red Velvet. The girl group, produced by SM Entertainment, has achieved a big success with its songs 'Ice Cream Cake' and 'Dumb Dumb', topping various music chart shows. Red Velvet is the only rookie girl group who ranked first on music chart shows in 2014 and 2015.
For now, it's true that Red Velvet, who debuted in August 2014, is way ahead of Twice. However, no one can tell the future. JYP Entertainment is still one of the biggest kpop agencies which can give strong support to its artists, while the Twice members already have many fans because they could give off their charm through Mnet's survival program 'SIXTEEN'. That's why it is expected that Red Velvet and Twice will be in a fierce competition as rivals in the near future.(Even though I think Twice's debut song 'Like OOH-AHH' is below expectations. The song is not unique and is not even catchy)
By the way, doesn't the rivalry between Red Velvet and Twice remind you of their senior girl groups? Yeah, those are SM's Girls' Generation and JYP's Wonder Girls. The girl groups, both of whom debuted in 2007 were the biggest rivals in the world of kpop. And I'm sure that the rivalry between the two most popular girl groups in kpop history boosted the kpop industry, drawing attention from kpop fans around the world. Hopefully Red Velvet and Twice will be in a healthy competition and grow up as representative kpop girl groups.
Check out what the Twice members talked about their debut album at the showcase event.
Q. You finally released your debut album. How do you feel? Jihyo: As you know, our team was formed through a survival program, and many people took an interest in us. Thanks to them, we can hold a debut showcase too. I'm happy because it seems that many people like our debut song.
Q. Don't you feel burdened about the fact that you are JYP's first girl group in 5 years? Chaeyoung: That's why we prepared a lot for our debut. It's just the beginning and we'll try to show our development.
Q. What do you think is the strong point of each member? Jihyo: We have many members, but each member has a marked individuality. Jeongyeon: My hair is short and I'm boyish.
Tzuyu: I'm the youngest, but I'm the tallest.
Jihyo: I've been trained for a long time and I the leader of the team.
Mina: I love to play, but I have a calm personality. Nayeon: I laugh readily and I'm positive. I hope my bright energy will be delivered to the public. Momo: I've been dancing since I was very young. I think I'm charismatic when I dance. Dahyeon: My nickname is tofu because my skin is white and soft. And I'm quiet but I get really excited when I listen to music. Sana: People say I'm off the wall. I think I'm different from other people. Chaeyoung:I'm the second youngest member and I'm the shortest member. As I rap, I think I'm charismatic on the stage.
Q. The title track 'Like OOH-AHH' is not written by Park Jin Young. What do you think of it?
Jihyo: I think our company try many new things for us. The company has great expectations for us and has faith in us. I think we have to do a great job.
Q. What's your goal?
Jihyo: We want to be a stylish girl group. And I hope we will be able to become a representative kpop girl group who is well-respected by many people.
"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 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...

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...
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...
