Q. You released your new album "Wings: A Supplementary Story." Tell me about the album. Rap Monster: The album contains a total of 18 tracks, while it includes 4 new songs. The other 14 songs are from our previous album "Wings." The album is titled "You never walk alone," and as you can guess, we wanted to talk about hope and consolation. We wanted to talk about how young people overcome their despair.
Q. Is there any reason why you wanted to talk about hope and consolation? Rap Monster: Because youths need hope and consolation. They have to make steps forward by themselves, but they can be consoled when they're with their friends. The title track "Spring Day" is a song for my friends.
Q. Your album was released on February 13, and it is gaining a huge popularity. How do you feel? Jimin: Just before releasing the album, we had a talk with our fans and it's true we felt pressured to get a good result because "Wings" was loved by so many people. I was very moved when our new song was ranked no.1 on online music charts. Jin: We had 500,000 copies of our album pre-ordered when we released "Wings," and the album sold over 770,000 copies till last month. By the way, we were very surprised when we heard that we have 700,000 copies of our album pre-ordered this time. We know album sales have decreased significantly with the rising number of free music download sites, and we thank our fans for their love. We will try harder to make better music. Q. Tell me about the title track "Spring Day." Suga: You may think the song is very different from our previous songs because it is not as powerful song as "Fire" and "Blood Sweat & Tears." However, it is also BTS' music and I think people will empathize with the lyrics of the song. The lyrics are based on my personal experience. J-Hope: The choreography of the song is energetic but delicate. It is like a modern dance performance, and we wanted to express the song lyrically.
Q. Some people say the music video of "Spring Day" reminds them of the tragic sinking of ferry Sewol in 2014. Rap Monster: Well, it isn't easy to say something about the tragedy. We feel responsible as we are loved by so many people, and that's why we donated to the families of the victims. But, about the song and music video, we just want to leave much room for interpretation.
Q. So, you are going to kick off your world tour by holding your exclusive concert at the Gocheok Sky Dome, the biggest indoor performance venue in Korea. Tell me about your concert. Suga: We'll visit 11 cities of 9 different countries, and we prepared so much for the concert. It's got a gripping story, superb sets, and stunning effects. Please look forward to it. J-Hope: You’ll just have to watch it yourself. Q. What's your goal? Jimin: I hope we will win the grand prize at the end-of-year music awards again.
Rap Monster: I know it's not an easy thing, but I'm dreaming of having our stadium tour all around the world.
Q. What do you think is the reason for your great popularity? Jin: First, it's because of our continuous development. All the members have been continuously developing since our debut. You know, some of them have become handsome indeed. I was very handsome even when I was a rookie, by the way, haha. I think they're taking after me. And second, it's because of the great chemistry among the members.
Q. Who do you think is your rival? Jungkook: I think the members are my biggest rivals. They're my colleagues and rivals at the same time. I can not help but learn and develop because they practice hard and always do their best.
Q. It seems like not a few young boy groups these days think of you as their role model. What do you think of it? Suga: Well, it is surprising because I was a rookie just a few years ago. When I was a rookie, I was seized with anxiety and unable to sleep. I want to tell them that their day will come in the near future. Jin: I think the important thing is to maintain a good teamwork. We sometimes argue with each other, but we get rid of possible misunderstandings through dialogues.
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
"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 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
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. He threatened to upload footage of their intimate moments on the web as revenge porn following their 30-minute fight. Even though his lawyer stated that there were no such threats made and that filming the sex tape was Goo Hara’s idea to begin with, the statement doesn't sound so reliable because the ex-boyfriend had contacted Dispatch and suggested that he has information worthy of
