Reason why some of Korean media outlets are mad at Zico


On July 12, Block B's Zico held a press conference for his new solo album "Television" in Seoul. At the press conference, he gave his thoughts on the album. By the way, it seems like some of Korean media outlets are now mad at the rapper. Do you know why?

When k-pop singers hold their press conference for their new albums, they usually have Q&A session after saying a few words about their comeback and new albums. However, Zico didn't have Q&A session. Instead, he exchanged questions and answers with a female MC. He explained about his new songs and gave his thoughts on his comeback. And then, he left the place after having photo time. And after he left the place, Seven Seasons, home to Block B, screened Zico's documentary.


You may think there's nothing wrong with the event, but some of Korean reporters were mad at Zico because, as I said, k-pop singers usually have Q&A session when they hold their press conference for their new albums. Top class k-pop stars such as PSY, BIGBANG, EXO and BTS also had Q&A session when they released new albums, while their press conferences were held for more than a hour. Zico's press conference was held just for 40 minutes.

What pissed Korean reporters off more was that Seven Seasons lied to them to protect Zico. Seven Seasons said Zico couldn't have Q&A session because the press conference was held at a theater and there was a movie which was scheduled to be screened right after Zico's press conference was finished. However, there was no movie which was screened after Zico's press conference.

So, check out titles of news articles written by those who are made at Zico.

Zico's one-way press conference - Nocut News
Idol star's arrogance - Sports Seoul
Is Zico a super star who is better than BIGBANG, PSY, BTS and EXO? - Sports Seoul

Well, I don't think Zico made a huge mistake because he explained about his new songs and gave his thoughts on his comeback even though he didn't have Q&A session. (He gave his signed CDs to reporters too) But it seems like he should have treated the narrow-minded reporters better because there are so many old fashioned reporters in the Korean media world.

Anyway, did you listen to Zico's new album? It's awesome. The songs are unique and have much popular appeal too. Zico shows his own musical characteristics through the songs, proving that he is a top class rapper.

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 …
