TWICE's new song "SIGNAL" gets terrible reviews from k-pop columnists


TWICE made a comeback with its new song "Signal" on May 15. How do you like the song? Well, as the girl group topped a variety of music charts, it seems like its comeback is quite successful. By the way, apart from it, "Signal" is getting terrible reviews from k-pop columnists. Do you know why?


You know, it's the first time that Park Jin Young took part in writing the title track of TWICE, while the TWICE members feel very happy about it. But, unfortunately, Park Jin Young failed to emphasize the lovely members' strength. I mean, it's ok that "Signal" is totally different from TWICE's previous hits such as "Cheer Up" and "TT", but the problem is that "Signal" is not the song which can maximize the members' lovely charm.

TWICE could become the hottest k-pop girl group because the members gave off their lovely and fresh charm through their catchy and cheerful songs. However, through "Signal", Park Jin Young just tried to show his own musical characteristics, instead of focusing on emphasizing TWICE's fascination. In a word, "Signal" is Park Jin Young's song, not TWICE's song.

What’s worse is that the song is not catchy and fresh at all. Park Jin Young seems a little too old. Well, Black Eyed Pilseung, who wrote TWICE's previous hits should have took part in writing the girl group's title track again.

Check out other k-pop columnists' opinions too.

Kang Myungsuk
"Signal" is a startling crude piece of music.

Kim Sunjoo
To my regret, I feel a separation between their music video and style concept.

Seo Sungduk
It seems hard for TWICE to surmount "Signal" only with their highlight dance.

Hwang Hyojin
All that remained are TWICE's aegyo and costumes.

Bokgil
It's not worth talking about the song except for the fact that it is TWICE's song.

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

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

"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

Secret about kpop idol stars' microphones

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
