[Op-Ed] Looking Back At May, Looking Forward to June: Can We Get Along?

May 2012 could go down as the one of most successful months for K-pop’s advancement internationally. Google‘s YouTube teamed up with South Korean Public broadcasting station MBC for a worldwide streaming concert. That wasn’t all, another major music publication (Rolling Stone) wrote their first K-pop piece, and a sub-unit (TaeTiSeo) racked up the highest ranking for a K-pop artist on the Billboard 200 album chart. Ideally, it should all lead to positive signs, especially as June is preparing to be an extremely exciting month given the large amount of comebacks. But… is it all positive?

It’s no secret that K-pop has been able to make strides in the West due to the internet, thanks in part to YouTube. With the recent partnership with MBC, it’s only appropriate that the video sharing site would create a concert for the millions who flock to watch the music videos and live performances. While simultaneously aired on South Korean television, the show was streaming through the “YouTube Presents” channel and at its peak had 115,000 viewers (during Girls’ Generation performances). A venue filling 115,000 is nothing to gawk at, but when one considers 115,000 viewers watching worldwide from most likely the comfort of their own home, the number feels somewhat small. Especially considering that most of the online viewership doesn’t really have a venue to watch their favorite Korean music stars on television daily, this streaming concert would be something they would be sure to watch live. It feels like fans were not able to fully commit to this concert.

Also take a look at Rolling Stone‘s first foray trying to understand the K-pop movement with a list of ten acts most likely to break America. As the writer of the article who has read every comment on the page, I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the amount of arguing between fans ripping each other apart between who should and shouldn’t have been on the list. Rather than focus on the fact that Rolling Stone, a well-respected music source, was giving a nod towards K-pop, it seems some fans wanted to rather focus on bickering.

Still, if one wanted to look towards solid evidence that K-pop’s presence is growing out West, they could look to TaeTiSeo’s recent EP release. The sub-unit earned the highest Billboard 200 chart position for K-pop ever. As reported on allkpop, the group gave fans an incentive to buy their copies on iTunes and posting proof, promising possible prizes through a contest. With all the fans flocking to buy the EP that Saturday, it probably shouldn’t have come as a surprise that the EP fell off the chart the following week. There was no promotion to further push it, so perhaps we should not be surprised. But if there was a proper full debut, would the efforts be exciting for just a few days and then fans move on to the next big thing?

For lack of a better word, K-pop is a very “instant” and “now” genre. While most Americans are used to long, drawn out campaigns for a single, premiering months before a full-length album, K-pop works very differently. Typically teaser photos will kick off a comeback and it’s not long before we have the song and EP/album with one or two singles before things have wrapped. Maybe fans are simply acting in a similar fashion to the way the industry works? But to music fans who are used to the long album promotion cycles, there’s some risk involved on such a fast moving environment.

I am an international pop music fan and find nothing more exciting when I see my favorite overseas artists breaking through America successfully. I’m currently over the moon that one of my favorite songs from the summer of 2011, Gotye and Kimbra’s “Somebody That I Used To Know”, is an unstoppable force in America now. Perhaps K-pop fans, you feel different, but should we not pull together positively so that our favorites have the opportunity to tour Asia and beyond? If K-pop as a genre can make further strides, if one succeeds, this means all acts will be in a better position to break other countries. When I look at other great Op-Ed pieces on the site, for example about the lack of Asian males in Hollywood, I think we all on some fundamental level, feel the same and ultimately have the same goals for this music we enjoy so much.

The longest running #1 hit in America this year was released in Australia last year.

Moving forward to today, June 2012, this month may go down as one of the most exciting in K-pop in recent memory. Comebacks from some of the top groups mixed with these recent strides in the West means more eyes than ever will be watching what South Korean artists are producing. Groups getting big shoutouts on these lists including Wonder Girls, Big Bang, 2NE1, AfterSchool, and Ailee are all making their comebacks this month. Even a smaller group like Dal Shabet’s comeback or Girls’ Generations’ new Japanese single “Paparazzi” will get more attention due to the exciting time in K-pop.

With the genre on a higher platform than ever, this month could be crucial to gaining new fans and supporters. Sharing music and performances that you enjoy and show the high quality of K-pop (regardless if you’re a fan of that actual act) will only help further strides for K-pop in your country and make it more likely for you to see your favorites in concert or on your local iTunes. There’s always going to be fights between fanbases of the artists, but it seems to make more sense that the pop fans of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Beyonce fight each other when these artists have conquered almost every territory. K-pop artists always appear so civil and supportive of each other so why do the fans act differently with these infamous “fan wars”?

Perhaps there are deeper problems in the genre. As fans, we cannot deny feelings like certain groups were robbed of winning music programs. But is there also a reason to bicker over it? At allkpop, I see the readership as being in a very unique position to help break K-pop to Western countries, in particular America with the largest music business worldwide. I am inspired by the position allkpop finds itself in and am excited by the prospect of bringing some of my viewpoints on this platform.

What do you think? What were your thoughts on this past May for K-pop? Are there deeper problems than just fans arguing? Does K-pop even need to break into the West? Let’s discuss (and hopefully be civil) in the comments.

SM, JYP, and YG to compete with girl group comebacks of June

Top girl groups 2NE1, Wonder Girls, and f(x) have each announced their respective June comebacks.
All three teams are the representative girl groups of the ‘Big 3′ agencies YG Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and SM Entertainment. The three teams have claimed numerous #1 victories on various music programs with each new release, and their comebacks are expected to turn the K-Pop industry into a warzone.

The Wonder Girls were the ones to strike first among the three by releasing their new title song “Like This” along with the accompanying MV.

“Like This” is a song written and composed by JYP Entertainment founder J.Y. Park, and contains an easy and upbeat hip hop rhythm with repetitive lyrics that make it simple to sing along to. Fans are responding positively to the girls’ new mature appearance and the exciting new song.

“Like This” was released the same day as Big Bang‘s “Monster“, and it has been a close fight between the two to maintain the #1 spot on music charts. Wonder Girls’ subtracks have also ranked high on the charts, captivating the ears of fans everywhere. Furthermore, the “Like This” MV received over 1 million views on YouTube in just a single day. Because the girls have until now received attention for their fresh, catchy songs and infectious dances moves, anticipation is rising for their broadcast promotions. Wonder Girls will be officially kicking off their comeback activities with performances on various music programs this week.
f(x) will also be making their respective comeback.

SM Entertainment reported on June 5th, “f(x) will be releasing their new mini-album ‘Electric Shock‘ all over the world through Itunes and various music sites on June 10th.”

This is the first album to be released by f(x) in a year since the group became one of the hottest girl groups after earning #1 wins with “Hot Summer” and “Pinocchio” last summer.

With each new album release, f(x) has consistently been acknowledged for their experimental and unique musical style, and expectations for this new release continue to rise as each of the five girls are determined to display their individuality, fresh new music, and upgraded performances.

For five days starting on June 6th, f(x) will be releasing teaser images of each of the members via their official homepage and Facebook pages to reveal their new concept.

Finally, YG Entertainment has also announced 2NE1′s June comeback, but not a lot of information regarding their return has been reported.

Like f(x), this is 2NE1′s first release in a year after dropping “I Am The Best” last June.
2NE1 won the hearts and minds of their fans immediately after their K-Pop debut, and the girls are causing their fans to go wild with news of their comeback alone. In a recent poll, 2NE1′s comeback was voted as the one fans are most looking forward to, proving the girls’ influence.

YG Entertainment is choosing to remain silent on the form and concept of 2NE1′s new album, as well as the exact date of their return. All that’s known so far is that the girls have worked on this new album with their exclusive producer Teddy Park, and that they are deciding which track should be their title song.
2NE1′s exact comeback dates have not been reported, however, they are expected to drop their new album towards the middle of June, which means they will be directly competing head-on with Wonder Girls and f(x).

2NE1, f(x), Wonder Girls… the sound of their names alone cause fans hearts to flutter a mile a minute. All three teams have shown amazing musical development and transformation with each new album, and the industry is already excited to see how they will captivate their fans this time around.
Which do you feel will come out on top? Toss us your thoughts below.

Kisah Legendaris Pulau Odongdo

Pulau Odongdo ini dipadati pohon Paulownia pada zaman dulu. Sehingga, banyak burung merak datang di pulau itu untuk memakan buah dari pohon Odong atau paulownia. 

Burung merak biasanya dianggap sebagai mahluk ajaib dan masyarakat zaman dahulu percaya bahwa di tempat yang dikunjungi burung itu, raja baru akan dilahirkan. Sebab itu, raja Gongmin di kerajaan Goryeo memerintahkan untuk menebang semua pohon Paulownia di pulau Odong itu agar burung merak tidak datang lagi ke pulau itu. Setelah kerajaan Goryeo diruntuhkan oleh Lee Seong-gea, lalu kerajaan Joseon didirikan olehnya. 

Di pulau itu, ada sepasang suami istri yang diasingkan dan hidup dengan menangkap ikan. Pada suatu hari, seorang pencuri memasuki rumah mereka dan waktu itu si istri saja berada di dalam rumah, karena suaminya telah pergi bekerja. Si istri melarikan diri dari rumahnya untuk menghindari pemerkosaan penjahat tapi dia tidak bisa meloloskan diri dari penjahat itu. Akhirnya, dia melakukan bunuh diri dari jurang ngarai yang berlokasi di bagian tenggara. Menjelang matahari terbenam, si suami sedang pulang kerja dan dia menemukan jenazah istrinya di tepi laut. Dengan sedih hati, si suami memakamkan istrinya di atas puncak pulau itu. 

Sesudah beberapa waktu berlalu, setiap musim dingin di sekitar kuburan si istri itu tumbuh pohon camelia dan pohon bambu yang melambangkan kesetiaan. Sejak itu, pulau Odongdo itu dipadati pohon camelia. Bunga camelia berwarna merah seperti darah dapat berkembang dalam salju, jadi disebut juga sebagai Yesimhwa, artinya hati wanita yang mengisyaratkan kesetiaan si istri dalam kisah legendaris pulau Odong itu.

Infromasi Wisata

Pulau Odong itu disebut juga sebagai Jukdo yang bermakna, pulau Bambu, karena ada banyak pohon bambu. Menurut catatan sejarah, bambu yang ditumbuh di pulau Odong itu sangat kuat, sehingga dipakai untuk membuat mata panah pada perang Imjinweoran yang melawan tentara Jepang di zaman kerajaan Joseon. Disamping itu, pulau itu memiliki nama julukan lain seperti Dongbaekseom atau pulau Dongbaek dan pulau bunga di laut.

Sejak tahun 1996, sebuah kereta api wisata yang bernama DongbaekYeolcha dioperasikan dan pada tahun 1998 Taman bunga Dodongdo dibuka. Pulau yang indah itu sedang ramai dikunjungi oleh pengunjung Expo 2012 itu juga.

Fanboy protects Taeyeon from a moth + laughter over cute mistake during “Twinkle” performance

The lovely ladies of TaeTiSeo held a special fan signing event at the Lotte Cheongnyangni Plaza in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul on May 24th.

During the fan signing, a fan took footage of a moth that was bothering Taeyeon. Taeyeon seemed a bit distraught by the moth but luckily for her, a fanboy came to the rescue. The fanboy went to town on the moth, slapping it out of the air and then stomping on it. Taeyeon appreciated his efforts and thanked him afterwards.

Additionally, on the same day, the kid leader made a cute mistake during TaeTiSeo‘s performance of “Twinkle” on Mnet‘s ‘M! CountDown‘.


Towards the end of the performance, Taeyeon was hit on the microphone which caused her to laugh and mumble some lines in the song. But being the professional singer she is, Taeyeon quickly covered her mistake and continued with the performance.

TaeTiSeo placed 1st on ‘M! CountDown’ for the 3 consecutive week.
