No doubt, TWICE is in its golden days now. As a new girl groups of JYP Entertainment, one of the biggest k-pop agencies, TWICE has been on a roll since its debut in October 2015. The girl group made a success of it songs such as "Cheer Up", "TT" and "Signal", while it seems that TWICE is a k-pop girl group without equal now. And TWICE achieve huge success in Japan too. TWICE, who made an official debut in Japan by releasing its first Japanese album "#TWICE" on June 28 is enjoying huge popularity in the country. TWICE's debut album sold over 200,000 copies within just a week, and the album was ranked second on the Oricon's monthly chart.
By the way, it seems like there are some k-pop fans who believe that TWICE members are terrible singers. Well, in some videos, yeah, it's true they seem to be terrible singers. Watch the video below first.
What do you think? Well, to say the conclusion first, no, they're not terrible singers.
TWICE members averagely have been trained for about 4 years, and furthermore, they've improved their singing ability through JYP's systematic training. I can't say all of them are great singers, and I can't say TWICE is a k-pop girl group who has the best singing ability. But, all of the members have good basic skills. Do you think Momo is a terrible singer? Do you think Tzuyu is a terrible singer? No, they are not. They can do much better than ordinary people or would be singers do. Of course, it's true there are not a few k-pop idols who can sing better than them and Jihyo and Nayeon are better than them, but it doesn't mean they're terrible singers.
Then, why do you think TWICE seem to be terrible singers in some videos? There are some reasons for it. First, when they do an encore on a music chart show, they usually don't do their best. In the video above, some of the members don't sing their parts not because they can't sing well but because they're just celebrating winning no.1 trophy. Second, not only TWICE but also most of the other k-pop idol groups don't sing the whole song on the stage. Well, it needs an explanation.
K-pop idol groups usually sing and dance at the same time on the stage, but it is really hard to do so even for well trained singers. So, 100% of k-pop idols make their MR before performing their songs on k-pop chart shows, while the way how they make MR is to decrease the sound volume of their voices in original music, keeping the sound volume of instrumental accompaniment as it is. So, to k-pop idols, singing to MR doesn’t just mean they sing live to instrumental accompaniment. It means they add their voices to volumed down original music. And actually, some of MRs includes some parts which is exactly the same as the original music, which means singers just pretend to sing live when they perform the parts. However, it doesn't mean they're terrible singers. They do such a thing because they can show better dance performance by doing so.
So, just like the other k-pop idol groups, TWICE members sing to their MR, and they could seem to be terrible singers because they just pretend to sing live when they perform some parts of their song. But, again, it doesn't mean they're terrible singers. And what you should know is that TWICE is a dance group and it has many members. The girl group focuses on showing better dance performance rather than showing off its singing ability, while each member has a role to do. Do you think Momo and Tzuyu have to sing more parts and show off their singing abilities like Jihyo? No, it's not a team.
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...
"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...
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...
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...
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...
