BTS became the first ever k-pop idol group who's awarded at the Billboard Music Awards by winning the Top Social Artist award on May 22. Congratulations on receiving the award, boys, and I want to say congratulations to A.R.M.Y too because just like the BTS members said, A.R.M.Y is a part of themselves.
By the way, BTS' winning BBMAs Top Social Artist award is something very special not only because it is the first time for a k-pop idol group to win the award but also because of many other reasons.
You know, BTS is in Big Hit entertainment, which is not as big kpop agency as SM, YG, or JYP. Achieving success as a idol group of small and medium agency is much harder than you could ever have imagined. The fact that an idol group of a small agency became the first ever k-pop idol group who's awarded at the Billboard Music Awards has come as a great shock to many people in the k-pop industry.
Yeah, the boys have broken the stereotype that a idol group of a small agency can't achieve a huge success as a global star, and that's why BigHit Entertainment is now the envy of many k-pop agencies.
Then, what do you think is the reason for BTS’ great success? The main reason for BTS' success is that the boy group differentiated itself from other boy groups by doing "real hip hop" music. The group writes its own music and sings about teenager's life, arousing empathy from young k-pop fans. Frankly speaking, there are few k-pop idol groups who have their own musical characteristics except for BTS.
That's not all. It's notable that BTS won BBMAs Top Social Artist award, beating Justin Bieber, who's won the award 6 years in a row. You know, Justin Bieber is the hottest pop star in the world, and it would be little short of a miracle that a idol group of South Korea beat the super star at the Billboard Music Awards.
Yeah, it means BTS is that much popular all over the world, and people in the k-pop world are now saying that the boy group opened up a new possibility of k-pop. You know, the k-pop industry has been depending too much on Chinese and Japanese music market, and that's why the k-pop world was on the alert when the Chinese authorities imposed restrictions on Korean content in retaliation to the placement of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery.
And it's also notable that BTS is not only very popular among their fans but also being recognized as a competent musician among respected industry insiders, which means it is expected that the boy group will have a long run in the k-pop world.
You know, Seo Taiji's agency announced that the legendary k-pop singer will launch a special project to mark the 25th anniversary of his debut, while BTS has been chosen as the first participant of the project who will remake Seo Taiji's hit.
You may think it's a great thing but a matter of course because, no doubt, BTS is in its golden days now. But, what you should know is Seo Taiji doesn't collaborate with somebody just because he is a very popular singer. Seo Taiji is a perfectionist and he doesn't let anyone remake his songs. He sometimes is very obsessive about his music. So, it means Seo Taiji recognized BTS' musical ability, and he was sure that BTS will never spoil his music.
You know, Rap Monster and Suga have released their mixtapes just like underground rappers do, and by doing so, they stressed the fact that they’re different from other puppet like idols. That's why they could achieve a great success even though they're not "pretty boys" just like other k-pop idols.
"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
There are so many girl groups in the world of kpop. When kpop agencies are preparing for their girl groups' debut, they consider numerous factors regarding Korean music market to produce a successful outcome. Many of you might think that girl groups have to capture male fans' hearts, while boy groups should use opposite strategy. However, it's not true. Female fans are usually more loyal to their stars than male fans are. Female fans buy concert tickets, CDs, and merchandises. Furthermore, female fans' love toward their stars last longer. That's why not only boy groups but also girl groups should target female fans. SM entertainment is the kpop agency which is so good at this. Whenever SM prepares for its girl group's debut or comeback, the SM staffs discuss about what they need to do to capture female fans' hearts. So, here are some requirements for kpop girl groups who are loved by female fans. 1. Stylish and attractive: Idol singer has to be a
Q. You made a comeback with your new songs "Playing with fire" and "Stay." How do you feel? Rose: We've worked really hard on preparing for our comeback. Please give us lots of love. Jisoo: We made a comeback but it feels like it's our debut. Frankly speaking, I've been really worried if people are not interested in us because we didn't appear in many TV programs since our debut. Lisa: We prepared so much to show great performance. Please look forward to it. Jennie: I feel very nervous and excited at the same time. Q. It seems like Yang Hyun Suk cares much about you. Jisoo: He always sends us encouraging messages and says nice things about us. I think it is because we're rookies. He is like our father. Jennie: When we won a No.1 trophy on a music chart show, he captured the TV screen and sent it to us with a congratulatory message. Q. How were your trainee years? Lisa: It was hard for me to communicate with other people becaus
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
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
