SEVENTEEN made a comeback with its new album "Al1" on May 22, and it seems like the boy group's comeback is very successful so far. The title track of the group's new album "Don't wanna cry" ranked high on various music charts, while the album topped album sales charts too. Even though it has been just 3 days since it was released, the album sold over 80,000 copies, which have increased by 20,000 copies compared to SEVENTEEN's previous album.
SEVENTEEN's popularity race in the k-pop world is very meaningful in many aspects. First, SEVENTEEN made a very successful comeback even though its new album was a new challenge for the group. You know, unlike the group's cheerful and energetic previous songs, "Don't wanna cry" is a song about young boy's sadness. Second, SEVENTEEN is becoming increasingly popular in the k-pop world. The fact that the group is doing great on album sales charts means they have a lot of loyal fans. Third, SEVENTEEN has gained competitive advantage over iKON. Sorry for fans of iKON, but SEVENTEEN's new song ranked higher than iKON's new songs "BLING BLING" and "B-Day" even though the two groups released their new albums on the same day. It means a lot to an idol group of a small agency that the group beat an idol group of a big agency.
So, SEVENTEEN is now aiming at no.1 trophies of various music chart shows, and there is a good chance that the group will win many trophies because, yeah, they're doing good both on online music charts and album sales charts. And of course, the group has many loyal fans who will vote for them.
Congratulations on SEVENTEEN's successful comeback, and I expect that the group will continue to grow up and become the representative k-pop boy group.
"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...

1988–2009: Early life and debut G-Dragon began his career at age five as part of the group Little Roo Ra. After releasing a Christmas album, the group's contract was terminated by their record company, which came as a shock to G-Dragon. After then, he was scouted by SM Entertainment while on a ski trip with his family. He was a trainee under the record label for five years, specializing in dance before he left, unclear about what he wanted to do. In third grade, G-Dragon was introduced to the American rap group Wu-Tang Clan by a friend. Inspired by their music, he developed an interest in rapping and began taking classes. Under People Crew's tutelage, he participated in the release of the Korean hip-hop album Flex in 2001, becoming the youngest Korean rapper at just 13 years old. Although he wrote his own lyrics, he admitted that his English was weak and the story behind the lyrics was just another typical "I'm young, but I'm the best." Additionall...
Through YG entertainment's special hip hop project, Big Bang's G-Dragon and Taeyang formed a new sub unit GD X TAEYANG and released a single “Good Boy” in 2014. GD took part in writing the song as always, while the song has gained great popularity at home and abroad. After releasing the single, GD X TAEYANG gave an interview to various Korean media outlets and talked about their new album, friendship, and BIGBANG. The two friends GD and Taeyang were both born in 1988, and 14 years ago, they joined YG entertainment as trainees. And they’ve went through rigorous training together for 6 years to make a debut as members of BIGBANG. So, of course, they’ve been good friends both in joy and in sorrow for a long time and know each other better than anyone. About GD, Taeyang said as follows. "Actually, there are many differences between us. He has something I do not have, and I have something he does not have. For example, we have totally different home surroundings. I ha...
In 2017, Big Hit Entertainment earned a total of 92 billion won (about 81 million USD). Big Hit's earning was less than that of SM (216 billion won), YG (264 billion won) and JYP (96 billion won), but you know, Big Hit, which was a very small company, has achieved remarkable growth. And what's most notable about Big Hit's growth is that the k-pop agency's operating profit to sales ratio (35%) was much higher than that of the big 3 k-pop agencies (SM: 12%, YG: 10%, JYP: 18%), which means Big Hit's business was very profitable. Basically, it is because of two reasons. First, Big Hit doesn't have as many musicians as the other 3 k-pop agencies, which means Big Hit doesn't need to invest as much money as them. Second, yeah, BTS alone earns so much money. Big Hit is receiving the most attention from investors. As you may know, Big Hit is preparing for a stock exchange listing. And investors love companies whose operating profit to sales ratio is high becau...
