Q. You released your first ever solo album. How do you feel?
Jennie: You know, all the other BLACKPINK members have been preparing for their solo albums too. I feel as if we're starting all over again. Through my solo album, I want to show my own charm.
Q. Don't you feel pressured?
Jennie: Of course, I feel pressured because I'm the first one, but I want to enjoy all the things. And I'm thankful that I can rely on the other members. When I was a trainee, I even couldn't imagine making a debut as a solo singer. You know, I've spent so much time in practicing singing and dancing, and I want to prove that the time I spent is not a lost time.
Q. So what do you think is the difference between BLACKPINK's album and your solo album?
Jennie: Both Jennie of BLACKPINK and solo singer Jennie are myself. I can't say there's a difference between them. However, I sang the entire song as a solo singer. I'm not sure I did it really good, but I did all the things I wanted to do. And when we worked on BLACKPINK's album, Teddy tried to include every member's personality in it. But while working on my solo album, he tried to care much more about me.
Q. Tell me about your song "Solo".
Jennie: Many females try to fit themselves into their lovers. However, they sometimes feel deeply wounded. So the song carries the message that we should find our true selves.
Q. You look so charismatic and sexy on the stage. What is your real personality like?
Jennie: Actually, I'm very shy and quiet. Many people say I'm just like a little girl in real life.
Q. What did BLACKPINK members talk about your solo debut?
Jennie: They tried to cheer me up. Their smile helped loosen me up.
Q. What did Yang Hyunsuk talk about your solo debut then?
Jennie: He cared so much about my solo debut. He checked every detail, and he tried to encourage me, saying I can do it. He said "Take everyone down".
Q. BIGBANG's Seungri said you're like female G-Dragon.
Jennie: It's an honor to just be compared with G-Dragon. I don't want to deny it, and I'm just so thankful. I'll try my best to be his successor, and of course, the title "female G-Dragon" is really awesome, I think.
Q. What's your goal as a solo singer?
Jennie: It's my first time to release my solo album, and I don't want to stick to the rankings on the music charts. I hope many people will become curious about me. Of course, it's lie to say that I never care about the rankings, but I want to enjoy all the things.
"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...

When he writes songs, he hears a variety of opinions from BIGBANG members, and he shares his idea with Teddy, a famous music producer of YG Entertainment to make better music. But you can say G-Dragon plays the largest role in writing BIGBANG’s songs because he usually creates main melodies of the songs. And he plays a huge role in BIGBANG’s concerts too. He is such an experienced performer so that he knows well about all the things regar...
Big Bang is back with its new songs 'LOSER' and 'BAE BAE'. On May 4, I met the 5 members and interviewed them. As it has been too long since the 5 members all together were interviewed by Korean journalists, it seemed that they had much to say. Let's see what they talked about their music, love, and life. Big Bang's Music Q. You guys said you will release new singles on the first day of every month. It sounds like an uncommon project. Taeyang: Just a month before, we worked really hard to decide if we will release singles or a full album. Actually, we have highly satisfactory new songs and we wanted to release a full album which contains all of them. However, we also wanted to film music videos for all of the songs and that’s why we decided to release singles every month. Q. What kind of songs will you release from next month? Drop me a hint. Taeyang: What I want to say is that all of the songs are different. We will show you something very different e...
