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.
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
"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
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
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
