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.

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
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
"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
In 2014, EXO's Chinese member Kris filed a lawsuit against SM entertainment, insisting that his exclusive contract with the agency should be nullified. And he finally left the agency, while another Chinese EXO member Luhan also filed a lawsuit against SM in the year. And in 2015, Tao decided to leave the agency too. After filing lawsuits, they said “SM didn't respect us at all. SM has treated us like subjects of control and determined our schedules unilaterally. And we had economic difficulties despite much work.” Well, I think many of k-pop fans may consider unfair contract between SM and the Chinese members as the main reason why the idol singers filed lawsuits. You know, it was not the first time that SM’s idol singer filed a lawsuit against the agency. The former TVXQ members Kim Junsu, Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong had been in a legal battle with SM for about 3 years, while Hangeng of Super Junior has also filed a lawsuit against SM, insisting that his contract wit
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
