Q. You made a comeback with your new album "INFINITE ONLY." How do you feel?
L: As we're back after a long hiatus, we want to show new aspects of ourselves to our fans.
Sungkyu: Yeah, whenever we release new album, we focus on the evolution of ourselves. All the members were recently busy doing individual activities, but we tried to make time to prepare for our comeback. We've practiced really hard during the Chuseok holidays too. Q. What does the album mean to you?
L: It means a lot to us because we could talk a lot about our future when we were preparing for the album. I think the album could be a turning point in our career.
Hoya: As the title suggests, we wanted to include very special music in the album. We took part in writing songs too.
Woohyun: We prepared for the album really hard. We practiced singing and dancing everyday, and we tried to take care of every single detail of the album.
Sungyeol: It was hard to prepare for the album, but we didn't want to hear that we got old. We tried to put every ounce of our energy into the album.
Q. Tell me about the title track "The Eye."
Woohyun: I think the song is like an electric fan. You know, an electirc fan is what you need to have awesome summer holidays.
Sungyeol: I think people still consider "Be Mine" as our representative song. I hope "The Eye" will be loved by many people and it will become our new representative song. Q. What do you think is the characteristic of INFINITE's music?
Dongwoo: I think we don't try to follow the trend. Hip hop and electronic music are in vogue now, but we do multiple genres of music. We just place importance on melody lines and pursue refined retro music. And what is important is that we've been challenging ourselves continuously.
Q. It has been 6 years since you debuted. Was there any change in the relationship among the members?
Dongwoo: When we were trainees, we even had fist fights. However, we've spent so many times together, and the bond of our relationship has been strengthened. If there's any problem, we just talk frankly to each other and reconcile a dispute.
Woohyun: Yeah, we don't fight like we used to. We became stuck together and know well about each other.
Sungkyu: It's true we fought a lot in the old days. However, the members are good-hearted, and they usually make piece shortly after their fight. Q. Do you think you are the best?
Woohyun: Well, we've never thought we're the best. Instead, we've been trying really hard to become the best. Even though it's been a long time since we debuted, we never neglect our practices. We keep practicing until we are satisfied. Q. What do you want to achieve through your new album?
Sungkyu: As we released our new album after a long hiatus, we want to fulfill our fans' expectations.
Sungjong: All the members have been on a diet because we wanted to show a great performance to our fans. I lost 10 kg. We'll put everything we have into every stage.
"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

We're preparing for an unique concert." After debuting in June, 2013, BTS has gained popularity by releasing its hits such as 'No more dream', 'Boy in luv', and 'Danger'. BTS is currently practicing for more than 16 hours a day to show high quality performance at its first ever exclusive concert.
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
I’m sure you’re very curious about k-pop trainee’s daily schedule. Well, it differs from case to case, but let me explain about the general case. If you become a k-pop trainee, you should follow the daily schedule below. 8 a.m. : School attendance As most of k-pop trainees are students, they should go to school in the morning. They try not to skip breakfast if possible because it’s important for them to manage their health. At their school, they take classes just like the other ordinary students, but they usually listen to music during break time to make preparations for their weekly test. They sometimes write song lyrics, while there are also some passionate trainees who practice singing and dancing at their school. 5 p.m. : Go to practicing room After school is over, trainees go to their practicing rooms. The first thing they do when they arrive at their practicing rooms is give their cellphones and diaries to people who manage them. They get their cellphones back after the
