By the way, it's notable that the young female singer is receiving attention from people in the k-pop world as the next BoA. As you may know, there has been no successful female solo singer in the k-pop world for the past few years. There are a few reasons for it. First, k-pop agencies didn't want to produce female solo singer's album because they thought it's not profitable. As I mentioned, there has been no successful k-pop female solo singer for the past few years. Second, there are more requirements to become a solo singer than to become a member of a girl group because a solo singer has to do it all by herself on the stage.

Have you ever heard about Sajaegi? It means 'Panic Buying'. As you may already know, in early 2014, Kpop boy group B1A4 was embroiled in controversy because of Sajaegi. Oh, I'm not saying they did Sajaegi. There were suspicions about Sajaegi, and the agency of B1A4 explained that it is totally unfounded and without proof. Then, do you think Sajaegi really exists in the world of Kpop? Let's talk about Sajaegi. Does It Really Exist in Kpop World? To say the conclusion first, yes, there has been Sajaegi in Kpop world.

CNBLUE's Jung Yong Hwa When Kpop agencies are searching for their new singers, they consider a variety of requirements such as appearance, singing & dancing skill and talent. By the way, one more requirement has been added to this recently. It is the ability in song writing. Big Bang's G-Dragon, B2ST's Yong Junhyung, CNBLUE's Jung Yonghwa and B1A4's Jinyoung are the representative examples of the idol stars who can compose their own songs. Then, what do you think is the reason for the agencies' preference for singer-song writer?

Kpop idol group B1A4 has shown strong growth in recent years. They released their new song 'Lonely' in January 2013, and swept over all the Kpop charts. Then, what would you say is the main reason for their success? Let's talk about Kpop idol stars' rules for success. B1A4 ◆Rule1: Do Distinctive Music There are too many Kpop idol groups who all look the same. Most of their albums carry the same old tired contents and music fans are searching for something special with a unique and distinctive style.   To gain a competitive advantage over rivals, Kpop idols need to do their own music. In that sense, it really works if one of the members can write music and lyrics. Just one person can change everything as you can see in the case of Big Bang's G-Dragon and B2ST's Yong Jun Hyung. B1A4 has leader Jin Young. He wrote the group's hits such as 'Baby I'm Sorry', 'Baby Good Night', 'Tried to Walk' and 'What's Happenin...
