No doubt, BoA is the most successful k-pop female singer. The k-pop queen, who made her debut at the early age of 15, has achieved so many things at home and abroad. She left a significant mark in the k-pop history, setting remarkable records. She is the first k-pop singer to sell more than one million albums in Japan, and she is the first k-pop singer to top Japan's Oricon Chart.
The queen is back. BoA released her 9th full album "Woman" on October 24, 2018. She held a showcase event on the day and talked about her new album. Well, she told reporters many things about the album, but what's most impressive was that she gave a special message for women around the world.
The title track of BoA's new album is titled "Woman", and you might think she just did it to promote the song, of course, but her message was very sincere and honest. As a woman who has achieved huge success, she tried to encourage women around the world.
I know "Woman" could be a controversial word. And it was really hard to write and sing the song all by myself. However, I've been of the view that human being can coexist because men and women are equal. "Woman" is a song about the confident woman, and as a woman, I wanted to raise my self-esteem through the song. I tried to hypnotize myself. You know, some women become increasingly lacking in confidence about themselves as they grow older, and I wanted to deliver the message that everyone can be a wonderful woman with high self-esteem by seeking for their own beauty. You don't need to complain about your weakness. And you don't need to be someone else. You have many good qualities too, and you can develop yourself.
Great message, huh? She said "Woman" could be a controversial word because excessive conflict between young men and women is one of the major social problems in Korea now.
Well, at the showcase event, BoA looked definitely different from other k-pop singers who usually just try to promote their new albums through their comeback events. BoA, who once was just a teenage k-pop singer, showed great maturity as a mature woman and singer. As one of the most influential k-pop stars, she tried to have a good effect on women around the world. And her deep insights into the world and human being are in her new album. That's why she's a real artist and she's been loved by so many people for a long time.
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...
"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...

TVXQ As a k-pop journalist, I’ve been trying to find a way of deciding k-pop idol groups’ rankings more objectively. So I’ve asked several people in the k-pop industry for the objective standard to decide the rankings, and some of them gave me a hint about it. Well, what they told me was that I should apply different standards to boy groups and girl groups. EXO Popular boy groups usually have their enthusiastic fandom because most of their fans are teenage girls, and what people in the k-pop industry told me was the size of the fan base and the passion of the fans are factors to consider first when I decide k-pop boy groups’ rankings. Then, how can we express the size of the fan base and the passion of the fans numerically? Well, the size of the fan base can be measured by whether a boy group can hold a large-scale concert. The Olympic Gymnastics Stadium, the biggest indoor concert hall in Korea, can accommodate about 10,000 audiences, while just a few k-pop boy groups ca...
During the early days of BIGBANG’s career, the team was marketed predominately as a hip-hop group, but the 5-member group and G-Dragon went on to experiment with electronic music and setting it as the new music trend in Korea. And during the production for the collaboration album GD & TOP and his solo album, G-Dragon opted for a more hip-hop sound. As a musician, G-Dragon covers various genres of music. For example, G-Dragon incorporated a mix of dance, hip-hop, and R&B songs into “Heartbreaker”. And his second album, “Coup d'Etat” is noted for being an eclectic mix of hip-hop, dubstep, rock, electro, and pop. The more amazing fact is that G-Dragon’s music has not only highly artistic quality but also great popular appeal. That’s why he has been widely recognized as one of the best hip-hop musicians and k-pop idols. By covering a variety of genres of music and making musical materials which have great popular appeal, G-Dragon played a leading role in popularizi...
