TWICE made an official debut in Japan by releasing its first Japanese album "#TWICE" in the country on June 28. Well, the result is very successful. The album sold over 100,000 copies within just 4 days, while TWICE is maintaining no.2 position on Oricon's daily album chart. The only singer who has a higher record of album sales for the period is Kanjani8, a very popular Japanese boy group.
That's not all. On June 30, TWICE appeared on "Music Station", which is the most popular music show in Japan. TWICE became the first k-pop girl group who appeared on "Music Station" since Girls' Generation made an appearance on the program in 2012. It's very unusual for the program to invite a rookie girl group.
In addition, TWICE succeeded in putting the ad of its hit "TT" on the billboard of Tokyo Tower. TWICE is the first ever k-pop idol group who proceeds a joint promotion with Tokyo Tower, one of the iconic buildings in Tokyo.
And it's also notable that TWICE held its debut showcase at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium which can accommodate 10,000 audiences, while TWICE has been chosen as a model for Shibuya 109's summer sale campaign too. Shybuya 109 is a large shopping mall, and large billboards featuring the 9 members appeared in the main street of Tokyo.
Many people in the k-pop industry are now expecting TWICE to make a big splash in the Japanese music market just like Kara and Girls' Generation did. The girl group's "TT dance" is now in vogue among young Japanese people. For now, yeah, there is a good chance that TWICE will dominate the Japanese music market for some reasons.
First, the members are very cute and lovely just like Kara and Girls' Generation's members were. Second, their songs are very catchy and easy to sing along to just like Kara and Girls' Generation's songs are. But that's not all. It could be the biggest benefit of TWICE that the girl group has Japanese members. You know, TWICE has 3 Japanese members, Momo, Sana and Mina, and that's one reason why the girl group is receiving a great deal of attention from Japanese people.

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
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
Do you want to know where do Kpop stars live? Well, as you expect, top Kpop stars are financially able to purchase high-priced houses. Let's take a look at Kpop stars' luxurious houses. JYJ's Kim Junsu has his villa “Brown Stone Legend” in Samseong-dong, Seoul. It costs about 2.6 million dollars, while his team mate Kim Jae Joong also lives in there as Junsu's good neighbor. Actually, before being independent of his parents, he has lived in a detached house placed in Paju city with parents. The house has all the luxurious items like fountain and saloon bar. It costs about 1.6 million dollars, and Junsu gave the house to his mother as a present. BoA lives in “Sangji Ritzville” placed in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. Girls' Generation's Jessica is her neighbor. The 230 square meter villa has three rooms and three bathrooms, while it costs about 1.8 million dollars. The picture below is the exterior. Big Bang's TOP is also well known as an owner of a lux
In 2015, Lee Seung Gi and Yoona have broken up after dating for a year and 9 months. I think many kpop fans felt sad about it because the two seemed to be a perfect match. Both Lee Seung Gi and Yoona are well known for their good nature and they're alike in personality, while they'd tried hard to protect each other. The official reason for their breakup was their hectic schedules. However, there was another reason why they should break up. As you may know, for Korean men, the military service is mandatory, while Lee Seung Gi also joined the army in February 2016. I've served in the military too and saw so many soldiers who broke up with their girlfriends in the army. From my own personal experience, more than 70% of soldiers break up with their girlfriends after joining the army. As all the Korean young people know about this, some of them part with their girlfriends just before enlistment even though they’re still in love with girlfriends. They think it is a way of
