Seo Taiji says it's BTS' era


BTS made a guest appearance on Seo Taiji's 25th anniversary special concert on September 2. The concert was held at the main Sports Complex in Seoul, and the concert drew a total of 35,000 audiences. At the concert, BTS members performed some of hits of Seo Taiji together with him.

By the way, I couldn't hear any special comments from Seo Taiji and BTS at the concert because that's the way Seo Taiji usually gives his show. He usually doesn't make comments at his concert, and he just focuses on singing and performing on stage.

But, while performing "Hayeoga" with V and Jungkook, Seo Taiji made a very impressive comment on BTS. He said "It's your era. Show me what you got".


Well, as you may know, Taiji Boys' debut in 1992 sent shock waves throughout Kpop world. The 3-member group comprised of Seo Taiji, Yang Hyun Suk and Lee Juno, created a sensation with their debut song "I know". And in his numerous hits such as "Come back home", "Dreaming of the Balhae kingdom" and "Class idea", Seo Taiji dealt with social issues and meaningful messages. He also caught eyes of people by wearing funky costumes. Seo Taiji alone had an enormous impact on culture, and Seo Taiji's appearance in Korean music scene has caused big change.

So, it means a lot for BTS to receive much recognition by such a legendary singer, who was a cultural icon in the 90s. You know what I mean? The k-pop king named BTS as his successor, and yeah, BTS is now the king of k-pop.


And actually, there are some reasons why Seo Taiji named BTS as his successor. First, BTS members can make and produce their own music unlike some of the other k-pop idol groups. Yeah, just like Seo Taiji. Seo Taiji has written all of his hits by himself. Second, BTS sings about their peer group and the society just like Seo Taiji did in the 90s. BTS has tackled school bullying and rejected society’s ideals, challenging societal norms, while most of k-pop idol groups do not take such an approach. So, SeoTaiji thought BTS and he have something in common, and he was fascinated by energies and messages of BTS' music because the boy group's music reminded him of what he did as a young musician in the old days.

About MR, AR, LMR and LAR: Do Kpop Idols Really Sing Live?

"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 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

Kpop female rookie singer Park Boram has cut an appearance in the world of Kpop. The singer released her debut song 'Beautiful' on August 7, and the song is still in the top slots of various music charts, beating Kpop's leading names such as Sistar, Block B, Winner and more. It is very exceptional for a Kpop female rookie singer to make such a good record soon after debuting. Park Boram auditioned Mnet's 'Super Star K 2' aired in 2010. If you watched the program, you may remember her as a plump girl. However, as you can see in her recent photo, she changed her skin.
