G-Dragon is back. GD released his new solo album on June 8, and the super star topped a variety of online music charts, showing off his great influence and popularity in the world of k-pop. Are you enjoying listening to the album? Well, the songs are really awesome. The songs are very characterful songs which have high quality sounds, while GD expressed his own thoughts and feelings as a 30-year-old man through the songs. No doubt, he is not just an idol star, but a great musician.
By the way, there are stories behind his comeback. Check out what those are.
#Music_Video
At first, music video director Han Samin planned to film the music video of "Untitled, 2014" for two days. Yeah, it usually takes 2-3 days to film a k-pop music video, and directors complete music videos by splicing the best scenes together.
However, Han Samin could finish filming the music video of "Untitled, 2014" just in an hour because GD's acting was really brilliant. The director never said "Cut!" and the music video was done in one-take. The music video became different from the original version, but as you can see, it became a great music video thanks to GD's acting. He absolutely expressed the delicate emotions of the song so well.
#Title_Track
GD chose "Bullshit" as his title track at first. However, he changed it to "Untitled, 2014" just before his new album was released, while it is very unusual that a k-pop singer changes his title track on his comeback day.
Actually, it is because of TOP. TOP has been rushed to the emergency room two days ago due to a drug overdose. Even though his condition became better, GD thought it is inappropriate to choose a powerful and cheerful hip hop song as his title track in the present situation. You know, "Untitled, 2014" is a sentimental slow song.
#Press_Conference
GD originally planned to hold a press conference before releasing his new album. GD has been working hard on his new album, and much attention was given to what the competent k-pop musician will talk about at the press conference. And he planned to talk about his upcoming solo world tour too.
However, he has cancelled the press conference. Yeah, it's also because of TOP. If GD held a press conference, all the reporters must ask questions about TOP, instead of asking about GD's new album and world tour. GD and YG wanted to avoid such an uncomfortable situation.
#Apology
When the news that TOP was charged with smoking marijuana was reported on June 1, YG Entertainment made an official announcement and apologized for the idol star's wrong behavior. And TOP himself also apologized for it by posting a handwritten letter.
By the way, YG apologized for everything again on June 8, while people in the k-pop industry are now saying that it is a very rare case because YG has been reluctant to admit its artists' faults and apologize.
Well, it's basically because it's not the first time that a YG artists linked his name with a drug scandal. Public criticism was so strong that YG had no choice but to apologize. But that's not all. YG was afraid if the incident will have a bad influence on GD's comeback, and that's also one reason why the agency made an official announcement and apologized twice.

Who's your favorite Korean actress? Well, here are 3 representative hallyu actresses, Jun Jihyun, Park Shinhye, and Min Hyorin. Yeah, Jun Jihyun and Park Shinhye are recognized hallyu stars, while some of you might disagree with including Min Hyorin in the 3 representative hallyu actresses. But, as you know, she is Big Bang Taeyang's girl and I think many people are interested in her. Anyway, I've interviewed all of them and I'd like to talk about the 3 actresses' real personality. Jun Jihyun is beautiful. Everyone who sees her in person says she's a goddess. She has small face and long legs. And she has an elegant atmosphere. I don't know if it was intended, but she was absolutely different from ordinary people when she talked and acted. Yeah, she talks and acts like a real celebrity. As she shows her pride and elegance when she is interviewed, some say they feel distance from her. However, it doesn't mean she is pretentious. When she is with the ...
No doubt, GD is the most influential star in the k-pop world. I’ve had an interview with him three times till now, and what I felt about him is that he is a little bit shy of strangers. At first, I was surprised at it because you know, he’s always very charismatic and energetic on the stage and he never looks like the one who is very shy. Even though he is shy of strangers and doesn’t talk much, it doesn’t mean he is just an introvert person. When it comes to his career, he is full of confidence. He has much pride in himself and has a very clear view on his career. Add to this, he has qualities of a leader and is the one who leads the conversation when the 5 BIGBANG members are interviewed by the press. Oh, and one more thing. It seems like he exactly knows how to captivate ladies because many of female k-pop journalists who had an interview with him fell in love with him. When he talks to somebody, he makes eye contact with the person and he sometimes puts on a very attract...
Q. You made a comeback with your new album "Following". How do you feel? Hyuna: I've been preparing for the album since I released Triple H's album last April. I've been looking forward to making a comeback, and I'll show powerful and energetic performance on stage. Q. It's notable that you took part in writing your new songs. What did you care about the most when you were working on the songs? Hyuna: Whenever I work on my new album, I try to get a variety of opinions. My new album was a challenge for me, but I wanted to highlight natural side of myself through the album. Q. So, is that why you took your jacket photos without makeup? Hyuna: As a 26 year old woman, I wanted to photograph natural look of myself. I wore no makeup at all, and that's why you can see my facial blemishes and pores in the photos. It was a real challenge for me, but I wanted to give a special present to my fans who have been supporting me for a long time. Q....
2PM has successfully finished its exclusive concert. The 10th-year boy group held "2PM CONCERT 6Nights" at the Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul from June 2-11. 2PM gave a total of 6 shows, while the shows drew audiences totaling 30,000 people. The 6 members absolutely electrified their fans by showing passionate and energetic live performance. Especially, it seemed they tried to put everything they have into their last show because it was their last concert before their enlistment. At the end of the concert, the members burst into tears, while many fans chanted the their name for about 15 minutes. Taecyeon It feels strange because I'm not sure when I will be able to sing as a member of 2PM again. It certainly will be a precious memory for me to be together with the other members. Please wait for us till we'll be back as a 6-member group. JUN.K It feels really strange because we can't perform as a 6-member group for quite some t...
"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...
