Reason why it's ridiculous to blame BoA


The last episode of "PRODUCE 101 Season 2" was broadcast on June 16. Have you enjoyed the episode? Yeah, 11 members of new boy group Wanna One have been determined, and they'll make an official debut soon.

By the way, it seems like some people in Korea are blaming BoA for not doing better as the host of the audition program. You know, whenever she announced names of Wanna One's members, she took too much time to open her mouth, and the episode was broadcast live for about three and a half hours, which was an hour and a half hours longer than usual.


However, it was not BoA's fault. Yeah, it was definitely the production crew's fault. They wanted to heighten tension and make viewers get absorbed in the program, but they just provoked many people. They boiled it for too long, and not only viewers but also all the trainees who had to stand and wait for a long time got very tired. This is how Mnet usually does things. All the broadcasting company cares about are ratings.

BoA was just waiting for the production crew's signal to announce names of Wanna One's members, and she did what she was told to do. Yeah, she has only done what it was her duty to do.

You know, BoA has been doing great as the host of "PRODUCE 101 Season 2". She gave advice to trainees as a professional, and the trainees were obedient what she said because she has great personal charisma and she is the one who is respected by many other k-pop singers. Many people in the Korean entertainment world are now saying that one reason for the program's success is BoA.


Anyway, did you watch the teaser clip for BoA's CAMO project? It's really awesome. She will make a comeback soon, and it is expected that the top star's new album will draw much attention from k-pop fans all over the world.

K-pop Trainee’s Daily Schedule

Image
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 they finish a…

The Truth About WGM: Were Taemin and Naeun Really Dating?

Image
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 some he…

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

Image
"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 just mean they …

Secret about kpop idol stars' microphones

Image
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 agency has aspir…
