You know, there are so many girl groups in kpop world, while just a few of them can achieve a success as a idol star. In this situation, what do you think is the key to success? It's "differentiation." Girl groups should differentiate themselves from other teams to catch people's attention because most of the general public usually can't even remember names of so many girl groups.
The second-year girl group Oh My Girl is a good example. The lovely girl group has been trying hard to differentiate from other girl groups and is currently in the ascendant in the world of kpop. Oh My Girl shows various different conceptions whenever it releases new album and is now loved by so many Samchon fans in Korea. That's why you should pay attention to the girl group. Oh My Girl is not as popular as TWICE or GFriend yet, but the girl group has a lot of potential to grow up as an idol star.
When Oh My Girl released its debut song "Cupid," the members caught eyes of people by showing "trumpet performance." Well, it was very smart to set the pretty two members Hyojung and Jiho at the head because it was a great way to imprint the image of themselves in people's mind.
And when the girl group released "Liar Liar," a song which is full of girly imaginations, comparing the complicated feelings of a girl in love to a whale floating in a pink ocean, the 8 members showed off individual charms by showing an unique stage performance. A clear conception of the song was really impressive.
"Windy Day," the title track of Oh My Girl's repackage album that was released last May, is very unusual song. In the middle of the song, you can hear India style melody, while it is very uncommon to include such a style of melody in kpop girl group's song. Because of this, Oh My Girl could attract the attention of the public.
And on August 1, Oh My Girl released its summer special album. Well, it's notable that the album is filled with remakes of famous old kpop. Because of great popularity of TV programs such as "Sugar Man", Korean music fans's interest in old kpop is quite strong now. In this situation, it is expected that Oh My Girl will be able to capture people's heart by offering nostalgic value.
"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...
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...
On October 27, a press conference for JTBC's new survival program "Mix 9" was held in Seoul. The program is planned and produced by YG Entertainment, and as the judge of the program, Yang Hyun Suk attended the press conference. And BIGBANG's Seungri also attended the event to give support to the CEO of his agency. As you may know, in "Mix 9", Yang Hyun Suk visits various k-pop agencies throughout the country and finds and trains talented trainees. Are you curious about what they talked about at the press conference? Well, check out what Seungri talked about the program and Yang Hyun Suk. I've visited many k-pop agencies throughout the country, and it reminded me of when I was a trainee. Before I debuted, Yang Hyun Suk treated me with rigor. He threw many slippers at me, and I think I could open a shoe store if I'd collected all the slippers, haha. However, many CEOs of k-pop agencies I've visited were totally different from Yang Hyun ...

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...
