On April 17, Minzy, the former member of 2NE1 held a showcase event for her solo album in Seoul. I attended the event, and you know, as it is her first ever solo album, she looked a little bit nervous but she showed great performance.
How do you like her title track "Ninano"? Well, "Ninano" is a trendy song based on Hip Hop, and yeah, it is basically similar to 2NE1's songs. But it is very notable that Minzy represents the soul and massive talent of a true singer. Through the song, she does what she is able to do so well, proving she's not only a great dancer but also a competent vocalist. You know, she had such a long hiatus as a member of 2NE1, and it seems like she really wanted to show that she can do tremendously well as a solo singer.
So, let's see what Minzy talked about her first ever solo album and 2NE1.
Q. You released your first ever solo album. How do you feel?
Minzy: I'm very nervous, of course. But I know it's a great opportunity for me, and I hope I will reach more fans. Q. Did you have any difficulties when you were preparing for the album? Because it is your first ever album since you left YG and 2NE1 in 2016.
Minzy: I didn't have any difficulties, but it was never easy to build futures of my own. And it's true I felt pressured to meet the expectations of many people after leaving YG, but I'm sure it acted as a stimulus to me.
Q. So, what made you decide to leave YG and 2NE1?
Minzy: Because my contract with YG has expired. And I had to make a choice because I wanted to show new sides of me.
Q. How do you feel about YG now?
Minzy: Well, YG is like my hometown. I've learned singing and dancing there. YG helped me a lot, and I know YG made me who I am.
Q. How about Yang Hyunsuk?
Minzy: I'm sure he's proud of me because I was just an elementary student when we met for the first time. He'll support me a lot even though I don't belong to YG any more.
Q. Do you still keep in touch with the 2NE1 members?
Minzy: Yeah, we contact each other often. Lately, they called me after watching "Sister's slam dunk 2".
Q. It seems like many fans were disappointed because you didn't participate in singing 2NE1's last song "Goodbye".
Minzy: I know many fans were disappointed about it, and I was disappointed about it too. However, I just supported the members because it was the last song of 2NE1.
Q. How do you like your new agency?
Minzy: YG was very systematic and it had its own rules. Music Works, on the other hand, has a family-like atmosphere. We're like family, and I'm really enjoying my life in Music Works because I can always share many of my views and opinions.
Q. It's notable that Flowsik is featured in your title track as a rapper.
Minzy: After watching his performance with Bohyung of SPICA, I was charmed by his voice. I wanted to perform with him, and I contacted him.
Q. Tell me about the title track "Ninano".
Minzy: I think people expect me to show some great dance performances. I wanted to show a splendid performance, and that's why I chose the song as the title track.
Q. How about "Beautiful lie"? You took part in writing the song.
Minzy: I've been interested in writing songs, and I'm happy that I can get a chance to include my own song in my solo album. I'm usually inspired by movies and dramas when I write songs.
Q. What's your goal as a solo singer?
Minzy: I'll just try to enjoy myself on stage, like I used to. If I win a No.1 trophy at a music chart show, I'll have a guerrilla concert wearing Hanbok (Korean traditional clothes) because "Ninano" contains Korean sentiments.
"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
BTS will hold its first ever exclusive concert. According to Big Hit entertainment, the boy group will hold its concert 'BTS 2014 LIVE TRILOGY: EPISODE II. THE RED BULLET' at Ax-Korea in Seoul from October 18-19. BTS stated, "Since our debut, we've been trying to differentiate ourselves from other Kpop idol groups by sticking to hip hop music. We're preparing for an unique concert." After debuting in June, 2013, BTS has gained popularity by releasing its hits such as 'No more dream', 'Boy in luv', and 'Danger'. BTS is currently practicing for more than 16 hours a day to show high quality performance at its first ever exclusive concert.
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. 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
