Q. Tell me about your new solo album "Hyehwa" and the title track "Being There".
Eunji: The theme of the album is "Youth and sympathy". I wanted to deliver the message that "You're not alone". You know, we're consoled when there is someone who feels the same way as us. And "Being There" is a lyrical song. Many people feel nostalgia for something through life, and I wanted to sing about it through the sentimental song.
Q. It's notable that you've produced all the tracks by yourself.
Eunji: Before debuting, I dreamed of becoming a singer because I really wanted to sing. But after debuting, I needed another goal. Many artists these days are trying to create their own identity, and I hoped to do it too. I used to do what my agency wanted me to do, but this time, I did what I wanted to do. I'm not married yet, but it feels like the album is my own kid, haha. I'm so proud, but I'm very nervous too. I learned so much while producing the album.
Q. Your music is quite different from that of other young singers. You know, your songs are very warm and emotional.
Eunji: Well, I want to show myself through my music. When I listened to music for the first time, music was a consolation to me. Both my mom and dad worked outside at that time, and I was at home only with my little brother. I was bored, and I was lonely too. Whenever I was lonely, I was consoled by music.
Q. Why did you title your album "Hyehwa"?
Eunji: When I was very young, I loved to sing. I wanted to show off my singing ability in front of people. And after entering high school, I began to dream of becoming a professional singer. I was attending Hyehwa girls' high school, and I wanted to give a special meaning to the period because I began to dream at the period.
Q. You sing, write songs and act too. What do you want to be called?
Eunji: I'm really happy when people call me singer song writer. I've recently felt frustrated several times because felt great pressure when I sang. I'm thankful that people have very high expectations for me, but I sometimes feel frustrated when I'm in bad condition. I love to sing, of course, but I feel a sense of accomplishment when I write songs and produce my album.
Q. You've successfully finished your solo concert.
Eunji: Holding a concert alone is quite different from performing with the other Apink members. When I'm with the members on the stage, I always need to care about them. But I'm alone on the stage, I can do what I want all the time.
Q. It has been 8 years since you debuted. How do you feel?
Eunji: I feel a big burden because many of girl groups who had debuted around the same time as us were disbanded. But there still are many things for us to do. You know, we tried new things when released "I'm so sick". Actually, we were very nervous before releasing the song because it was the first ever album since the renewal of our contract. We held meetings to make the album better. All the members were so motivated. We had never done such a thing before. We've renewed our contract because we still have many things to do as a team.
Q. What's your relationship with the other Apink members?
Eunji: Frankly speaking, we felt uncomfortable with one other because all of us are very cautious and care too much about other people. However, we have never had a big fight. We've been together for a long time, and we know one another inside out. We can understand one another even if we don't talk much.
Q. You've been doing your individual activity very actively. Didn't you feel a bit sorry for the other members?
Eunji: At first, yes, but actually, we're less interested in one another than you might think, haha. They were not jealous of me, and they didn't speak ill of me either.
Q. Which do you like better, singing or acting?
Eunji: I like both of them. Sometimes it's too much for me because there are so many things I want to do, of course. But I think I'm lucky to have many things to do. I also want to write a book someday because I feel great joy when I write.
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
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
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
