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
There are so many girl groups in the world of kpop. When kpop agencies are preparing for their girl groups' debut, they consider numerous factors regarding Korean music market to produce a successful outcome. Many of you might think that girl groups have to capture male fans' hearts, while boy groups should use opposite strategy. However, it's not true. Female fans are usually more loyal to their stars than male fans are. Female fans buy concert tickets, CDs, and merchandises. Furthermore, female fans' love toward their stars last longer. That's why not only boy groups but also girl groups should target female fans. SM entertainment is the kpop agency which is so good at this. Whenever SM prepares for its girl group's debut or comeback, the SM staffs discuss about what they need to do to capture female fans' hearts. So, here are some requirements for kpop girl groups who are loved by female fans. 1. Stylish and attractive: Idol singer has to be a
Q. You made a comeback with your new songs "Playing with fire" and "Stay." How do you feel? Rose: We've worked really hard on preparing for our comeback. Please give us lots of love. Jisoo: We made a comeback but it feels like it's our debut. Frankly speaking, I've been really worried if people are not interested in us because we didn't appear in many TV programs since our debut. Lisa: We prepared so much to show great performance. Please look forward to it. Jennie: I feel very nervous and excited at the same time. Q. It seems like Yang Hyun Suk cares much about you. Jisoo: He always sends us encouraging messages and says nice things about us. I think it is because we're rookies. He is like our father. Jennie: When we won a No.1 trophy on a music chart show, he captured the TV screen and sent it to us with a congratulatory message. Q. How were your trainee years? Lisa: It was hard for me to communicate with other people becaus
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
