On June 8, BIGBANG's G-Dragon released his new solo album "Kwon Jiyong", while it's notable that the album was released as an USB, not as a CD. By the way, the Korea Music Content Industry Association, which is currently running Gaon Chart said it's hard to admit GD's USB album as a music album, stating "It's just a tool to download music". If GD's USB album is not admitted as a music album, the album will be excluded from Gaon's album sales chart, and of course, it will affect rankings of music chart shows such as "Inkigayo" and "Show! Music Core".
About this, GD posted a long piece of writing on his SNS on June 15. He said "What's the problem? You can just judge whether an artist's work is an album or not by the decision made by someone we never know? From tape to CD, and from CD to download file. The appearance of music album has been changing again and again. What's important are melodies and lyrics which console many people and are remembered by many people for a long time".
Well, it's very unusual for the idol star to reveal his thoughts on a sensitive issue, which means he's really mad now.
Why do you think GD is so mad now? Because his album will be excluded from Gaon's album sales chart and it will have a bad effect on his rankings of music chart shows? No, he never cares about it. He's a little bit shy in front of strangers, but he's the one who is full of confidence about his music. And he has put a lot of efforts into his new solo album. Yeah, he cannot tolerate the Korea Music Content Industry Association ignores his album just because it was released as an USB.
Actually, what the Korea Music Content Industry Association was the stupidest idea. Just like GD said, the world we are living in is changing very rapidly. They just can't keep up with the trend. One reason why GD released his new album as an USB is that an USB has larger storage capacity than a CD. GD's USB album can hold 4 GB, while CD albums can usually hold only 700 MB. YG's planning to upload a variety of digital contents including GD's music video and songs which can be downloaded to his USB album.
The funny thing is the Korea Music Content Industry Association changed its position after GD, who is acknowledged to be a no.1 k-pop star posted a long piece of writing on his SNS. The association announced that nothing is confirmed and it will just abide by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's decision.

"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...
Popular actor Kim Soohyun's new movie "Real" was released on June 28, while much attention was focused on the movie because the handsome actor play a double role in the movie for the first time since he debuted. However, "Real" is receiving harsh reviews from the critics. The critics are saying the movie is rubbish. Actually, as I said before, there have been some problems about making of "Real" since last year. Kim Soohyun filmed the movie from January 2016 to June 2016, and movie director Lee Jung Seob directed the movie. By the way, Lee Jung Seob was suddenly replaced by another movie director Lee Sarang for no reason. The problem was that Lee Sarang is Kim Soohyun's cousin and he could become the director of "Real" even though he has no experience in directing a movie. Well, as a result, the rookie director, who has poor directing ability ruined the film. He's now living with Kim Soohyun. By the way, the bigger problem...

When he writes songs, he hears a variety of opinions from BIGBANG members, and he shares his idea with Teddy, a famous music producer of YG Entertainment to make better music. But you can say G-Dragon plays the largest role in writing BIGBANG’s songs because he usually creates main melodies of the songs. And he plays a huge role in BIGBANG’s concerts too. He is such an experienced performer so that he knows well about all the things regar...
As you know, Kpop girl group members look so innocent and cute. We usually describe them as 'fairy'. Then, how about their feet? It seems that they have tiny lovely feet. Well, what do you think? Let's see the shoe sizes of Kpop female idols. Sooyoung has the biggest feet among Girls' Generation's members. Girls' Generation: Soo Young(Big foot) / Sunny, Jessica, Hyo Yeon(Small foot) Soo Young has the biggest feet among Girls' Generation(SNSD) members. It is 245mm. Is there anybody who are diapponted because Soo Young has too big feet? Actually, she is the tallest member too. She is 170cm tall. Let's make a comparison between Soo Young and Tae Yeon. Tae Yeon's shoe size is 240mm and she is 162cm tall. Yoona, Seo Hyun and Yuri's shoe sizes are also 240mm. Three other members have the smallest feet among SNSD's members. Sunny, Jessica and Hyo Yeon's shoe sizes are all the same as 225mm to 230mm. Does it fit your expectation?...
Staff members of Korean movie "Real" have recently gathered to watch the movie. The movie is not released yet, but movie staffs usually have a preview before the release of their movie because they need to exchange opinions to make better movie. As there are days until the movie will be released, the movie staffs can edit the movie again. By the way, one of the hottest issues among the staff members of "Real" was Sulli's nude scene. She did a nude scene in the movie, and the staff members debated whether they should remove the scene from the movie because it is very erotic. However, as a result, the staff members decided not to remove the scene. There was a reason for it. Sulli, who was an idol and has never filmed a nude scene decided to do the erotic nude scene after much consideration, and the staff members couldn't just ignore her efforts. The movie starring Kim Soohyun and Sulli will be released on June 28. <K-pop Secret Vol.3: How and wit...
