BTS is having record-breaking run in the k-pop world. According to Big Hit Entertainment, the boy group has sold more than 1.2 million copies of its new album "LOVE YOURSELF 承-Her" since it was released on September 18. BTS became the first ever k-pop artist who sold more than 1.2 million copies of album since legendary k-pop group god sold about 1.4 million copies of its album in 2001. You know, EXO has set an amazing record by selling more than million copies of its album in 2013, but BTS' record exceeds that of EXO.
You know, the rise in online music sharing sites has led to a drastic decrease in paid album sales. In this situation, it is nearly impossible for k-pop idol groups to sell more than million copies of their albums. But, yeah, BTS did it. That's why many people in the k-pop industry are saying BTS writing a new page in the k-pop history, and it means BTS is that much popular at home and abroad.
And actually, k-pop boy groups’ album sales mean more than numbers. As a k-pop journalist, I’ve been trying to find a way of deciding k-pop idol groups’ rankings more objectively. Popular boy groups usually have their enthusiastic fandom because most of their fans are teenage girls, and the size of the fan base and the passion of the fans are factors to consider first when we decide k-pop boy groups’ rankings.
How can we express the size of the fan base and the passion of the fans numerically, then? Yeah, those can be measured by boy groups’ album sales. Album sales are regarded as the significant barometer of idol groups’ popularity.
So, the fact that BTS sold a great many copies of its album means the boy group has become one of the top k-pop boy groups. There still are many people who refuse to admit BTS' huge popularity all over the world, but the number of sales proves all the things. And you know, BTS has already proved its great popularity by sitting high on the Billboard 200 and the Hot 100.
I'm sure the talented 7 members, who have been continuing to grow as musicians since their debut will continue to gain great popularity all over the world.
BTS' new album is really awesome, by the way. the songs are not only very unique but also trendy. The members deliver their own stories and messages through the songs, as always, while what surprised me was their spirit of challenge. Unlike most of the other k-pop idol groups who just repeat what they've already done, the BTS members tried a variety of genres of music they've never tried. By doing so, the wonderful artists showed again that they're totally different from puppet-like idols.

"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...

1988–2009: Early life and debut G-Dragon began his career at age five as part of the group Little Roo Ra. After releasing a Christmas album, the group's contract was terminated by their record company, which came as a shock to G-Dragon. After then, he was scouted by SM Entertainment while on a ski trip with his family. He was a trainee under the record label for five years, specializing in dance before he left, unclear about what he wanted to do. In third grade, G-Dragon was introduced to the American rap group Wu-Tang Clan by a friend. Inspired by their music, he developed an interest in rapping and began taking classes. Under People Crew's tutelage, he participated in the release of the Korean hip-hop album Flex in 2001, becoming the youngest Korean rapper at just 13 years old. Although he wrote his own lyrics, he admitted that his English was weak and the story behind the lyrics was just another typical "I'm young, but I'm the best." Additionall...

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...
