Q. I guess you are filled with emotion after finally releasing your album as MOBB.
Bobby: Well, I think it's a great opportunity for us. Every moment was memorable and special to me during preparing for the album.
Mino: We have similar tastes in music, and I’ve been looking forward to collaborating with Bobby. Fortunately, Yang Hyun Suk gave us a chance to release our album as one team. Q. What advice did Yang Hyun Suk give you?
Bobby: He talked a lot about lyrics. He’s very meticulous and cares about every little thing about music. Actually, he scolded me for writing difficult lyrics, and that’s why I had to rewrite my lyrics over and over again.
Q. People say it takes too long for YG artists to release new album.
Mino: We're always sorry for making our fans wait. And I'm sometimes very anxious because I know so many people are waiting for our new album. However, I want to aim at perfection, and it usually takes a long time for us to release new albums because we want better results. Q. It seems like some people compare you two to GD & TOP.
Bobby: We're extremely honored and we respect them, but we don't want to imitate them. We're not the next GD & TOP.
Mino: GD gave helpful advices for us when we were preparing for our album. He said the harmony between two members is the most important. I was so thankful for that. Q. BLACKPINK made a very successful debut. How do you feel about it?
Bobby: They've been trained so long, and I'm so happy about their success.
Mino: I've seen them for a long time, and I'm glad they finally did it.
Q. Don't you want to date these days?
Bobby: Well, there are so many things I want to do and I have to do. That's why I can’t date. And actually, I'm not interested in date these days. For now, my focus is totally on music.
Mino: I know experience is important, but it's realistically impossible for us to date due to our tight schedules. Q. What is your real personality like?
Mino: Bobby is normally very cute, but he is charismatic when he works on music. I think he's very professional because he is not only a modest person but also is a man who has a firm belief in himself. And as he is very polite, we've never been in a fight.
Bobby: Mino is a perfectionist. He's always very kind to me, but he's strict about music. Q. What is your goal as MOBB?
Mino: It will be more than just a one-time event. We'll try many different kinds of music, so please look forward to it.
"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...
2008-2009: Debut and Rising Popularity After spending 10 months as a trainee, IU released "Lost Child" as her first single. She performed the song live for the first time on the music program, M! Countdown, on September 18, 2008, making it her debut performance as a professional singer. "Lost Child" is the lead single from her debut extended play “Lost and Found”, which was released on September 24, 2008. For the album, IU was awarded the "Rookie of the Month" by South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in November 2008. However, the album did not do well commercially. On April 23, 2009, IU launched her first studio album, “Growing Up”, with the lead promotional single, "Boo". She began her album promotion the next day, performing "Boo" on KBS2's Music Bank. The song was noted for its stark contrast in musical style to "Lost Child", which was described as a heavy and dark ballad compared to th...
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...
