NCT DREAM shows high quality k-pop music


NCT DREAM made a comeback with its new song "The first and last" on February 9. Well, I can't say the boy group's comeback is very successful because the song didn't rank high on online music charts, while it seems like people are not much interested in the song.

But I can't say their comeback is a failure either because their music is quite impressive. Even though "The first and last" is not the type of song which can gain huge popularity among Korean listeners, the song includes well organized and fresh sounds, while the members' dance performance is awesome too. And it's remarkable that Mark, who took part in writing the rap lyrics shows a high standard of rap performance. In a word, it's high quality k-pop music.


Well, as I've posted before, some say NCT is a flop because NCT U, NCT 127 and NCT DREAM ranked poorly on online music charts and it seems like they're falling behind in the competition with young k-pop boy groups such as SEVENTEEN, iKON and more even though they belong to SM Entertainment, the biggest k-pop agency.

However, NCT's music is now winning rave reviews from people in the k-pop industry. NCT's songs including "The 7th Sense" and "Limitless" received rave reviews from many people in the k-pop industry because the songs are very unique and no other k-pop idol groups try such a music. That's many people predict that NCT will be able to rise as a popular star in the near future even though it seems like they're not so popular for now. Actually, as I mentioned before, SM is looking at the bigger picture now because the agency’s goal is not to make songs which are popular only among Korean fans but to make songs which are loved by many people all over the world. You know, SM is dreaming of ruling the world music market by producing many different NCTs who are based on various different cities.

K-pop Trainee’s Daily Schedule

Image
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 they finish a…

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

Image
"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 just mean they …

The Way How Lee Seung Gi Protects his Girlfriend Yoona

Image
It has been months since the two top stars, Lee Seung Gi and Girls' Generation(SNSD)'s Yoona, announced that they are dating. However, there has been no opportunity to hear their love story directly, and it looked like I finally got the opportunity on April 30.

On the day, the production presentation for SBS' new drama 'You're all surrounded' was held in Seoul and Lee Seung Gi attended the event as a leading actor.


Considerate to Yoona
But, as a result, I never heard of anything about the love story from Lee Seung Gi, and that was the way how he protects his girlfriend.

Before the beginning of the event, the MC asked the reporters not to throw questions that are unrelated to the drama. Yeah, the MC was mindful of Lee Seung Gi and Yoona's romantic relationship.

As you know, Yoona is a member of girl group who has lots of male fans, and if Lee Seung Gi comments about their romantic relationship time after time, Yoona will be somehow disadvantaged. That's …

The Truth About WGM: Were Taemin and Naeun Really Dating?

Image
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 some he…
