VIXX's strategy is quite successful so far despite its repeated failure on online music charts


VIXX is back. The 6-member boy group made a comeback on October 31 by releasing its new album "Kratos." However, VIXX couldn't get a very good mark on online music charts with the album. "The Closer," the title track of the album dropped out of the top ten of the charts in just one day, while it seems that songs of young and fresh girl groups such as TWICE, I.O.I and BLACKPINK are grabbing everyone's attention.

 Actually, this is not the first time for VIXX to be ranked lower than expected on online charts. Even though the group has its hits such as "Voodoo doll" and "Chained up," the general public don't know about the songs because the songs were never ranked highly on online charts. That's why some say VIXX is a failed idol group and its popularity is overrated.


However, it's not true. VIXX has won No.1 trophies of a variety of music chart shows, while the group's exclusive concert was held at the Olympic Park’s Olympic Gymnastics Arena, the biggest indoor concert hall in Korea. Nobody call such a boy group a "failed idol group."

 What VIXX has been doing is to try to fascinate their loyal fans, not the general public. This is a very smart strategy because boy groups should have many loyal fans to make profits. Do the general public buy idol group's album? Do they go to idol group's concert? No, never. So, in terms of money, VIXX's strategy is very effective. The group has been focusing on satisfying its fans, and that's why it could have a high record of album sales and top various music chart shows.


Then, let's see how VIXX could capture its fans' heart. VIXX has been trying a variety of conception since its debut. Yeah, other idol groups try various conceptions too but those of VIXX were very special. The members transformed into vampires through "On and On" and showed a cyborg conception when they released "Error." And through their new song "The Closer," they stress their masculine charm by wearing showy uniforms which symbolize Kratos, the personification of strength and might.

 Well, the main consumers of kpop are teenagers, which means kpop contents don't need to be very artistic or profound. Instead, the contents should excite curiosity of teenagers, yeah, just like VIXX's songs. You know, VIXX has tried a variety of special conceptions which include elements of fantasy and mystery, and that's how the boy group could succeed in fascinating its teenage fans, stimulating their curiosity.

About MR, AR, LMR and LAR: Do Kpop Idols Really Sing Live?

"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

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

Goo Hara, a female k-pop star who has achieved tremendous things as a member of popular girl group Kara, is having a hard time. You know, she is currently being investigated for an assault case, and it seems both Goo Hara and her ex-boyfriend Choi Jong Bum, a handsome hair designer who is known as "Yoo Ah-in of Cheongdam-dong", are responsible for causing bodily harm to each other. Goo Hara got bruises all over her body, while the hair designer had scars on her face. But what's even more shocking is that the ex-boyfriend threatened to leak a sex tape with the k-pop idol in it.
