JYP and Monster to launch a new way to enjoy music?

We knew something was going on between Monster and JYP and now they just released a teaser for something called, “Diamond Tears“. In the teaser, JY says they will launch a new way to enjoy music.

We’ve been bugging JYPE about what it is, but their lips are sealed and all they told us was that it will be revealed at their family concert on the 24th.

Your guess is as good as ours, but its got to be something huge between JYP and Monster, so stay tuned for more updates on this top secret collaboration! And let us know what you think it may be in the comments section below!

Korean netizens think that sunye and miss A suzy look like sisters

what do u guys think?

[Guest qoxie]

JYP's latest appearance in 'Win Win' is becoming a goldmine of talking points.

Hope it can eventually be subbed. The whole episode, not just various cuts by Wonderfuls/Hottests/IAMs, etc.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Here is a Kpop article by KOMPAS (Indonesia's national newspaper) last weekend.

The online reaction has been negative in some quarters, but I don't think it said anything that's not previously known or speculated about.

Basically, it quoted a couple of radio jocks & an event organizer emphasizing physical attractiveness, & some netizens are not happy that plastic surgery was also brought up.

The event organizer, who is holding a talent audition with Nega Network (B.E.G.'s company), implied that the eventual 2 winners must be willing to go under the knife.

The rest of the article is about the genre's popularity in the country. I have copied the text over if anyone wants to Google Translate it.

The featured WG photo is a coincidence, I think. The girls were only fleetingly mentioned (i.e. twice, one of which was wrongly identified with SNSD which has 9 members).

The title itself translates as "Super Korea, Super Looks".

Tiket konser boyband Korea Super Junior yang akan digelar di Singapura pada 29 Januari 2011 telah ludes dalam waktu 30 menit pada hari pertama penjualan 22 November lalu. Super Junior atau SuJu adalah salah satu bintang super Korea yang tengah moncer di Asia, termasuk Indonesia.

Bintang-bintang K-pop lain bertebaran di Indonesia, seperti Tohoshinki, Shinee, So Nyuh Shi Dae (SNSD) alias Girls’ Generation, FT Island, Rain, JYJ (Junsu, Yochun, Jeje), dan Trax.

Cukup prospektif tampaknya. Perusahaan rekaman Universal Music di Indonesia tahun ini saja merilis album penyanyi dan grup Korea, seperti 4Minute, dengan album For Muzik; For Muzik For Asia -Special Edition. Kemudian Beast (Shock Of The New Era-Asian Version Vol.1 ) Wonder Girls (Different Tears ), 2AM (I Did Wrong-Special Asian Edition, serta G.Na (Draw G’s First Breath).

Angka penjualan relatif kecil, tetapi artis Korea cukup penetratif di pasar Indonesia. Album ke empat SuJu bertajuk Bonamana yang diedarkan oleh PT Indo Semar Sakti, misalnya, sejauh ini terjual sekitar 7.000. ”Tetapi, untuk ukuran saat ini, itu termasuk lumayan dan masih terus jalan,” kata Sujanto, Managing Director PT Indo Semar Sakti.

Mereka kebanyakan tampil dalam format penyanyi keroyokan ala boysband atau girlband. Super Junior, misalnya, beranggotakan 13 pria muda usia 22-27 tahun, sedangkan Wonders’ Girl berawak 9 cewek (emangnya WG 9 org ya? ). Seperti lazimnya boyband, artis -artis Korea itu juga menonjolkan gerak koreografis yang energetik di panggung.

Mereka kebanyakan memilih jenis pop, dance pop, atau R&B. Lagu-lagu mereka dibawakan dengan bahasa Korea dengan sisipan sepotong kata atau kalimat dalam bahasa Inggris di sana-sini. Misalnya lagu ”Sorry, Sorry” dari Suju, atau ”What A Girl Wants” dari 4Minute.

Operasi plastik

Satu hal yang paling menonjol dari K-pop adalah tampang atau penampilan fisik mereka sangat terjaga, terutama wajah. Tampang itu

menjadi salah pengaruh penting atas popularitas dan daya jual K-pop. ”Dalam penampilan cowok harus cakep. Ini seperti kebanyakan boyband bule, seperti ’N Sync, Backstreetboys, Westlife,” kata Sujanto.

Soal tampang juga diakui oleh radio yang memutar lagu K-pop, seperti Pro2 FM Bandung dan Gaya FM Bekasi. ”Suara memang menentukan, tetapi yang penting itu cakep,” kata Hotman Christian, pembawa acara Bintang Asia Pro2 di Radio Pro2 FM Bandung.

Mengapa penting? Erriyanie Populetta, Direktur Program Gaya Oriental di radio Gaya FM Bekasi 93,6, menduga itu karena sekitar 90 persen penggemar mereka adalah remaja perempuan. Setidaknya, pendengar acara Gaya Oriental. Jangan kaget jika sampul dalam album kelompok K-pop itu bak album foto para model. Buka saja album Suju atau Wonder Girls, 4 Minute, yang penuh gaya dengan rok mini ala foto model.

Industri musik Korea yang menyasar pasar Asia belakangan mencari dua penyanyi berbakat dari Indonesia untuk menjadi anggota boyband dan girlband Korea.

Mereka akan dipilih melalui audisi yang digelar 18 Desember mendatang. Perusahaan Korea yang menggelar audisi di Indonesia adalah Nega Network, salah satu perusahaan rekaman Korea.

Di Indonesia, mereka bekerja sama dengan Headline Management.

Reza, Presiden Director Headline Management, mengatakan, mitranya menginginkan penyanyi yang memiliki penampilan fisik sempurna. Kriterianya, yang ganteng untuk cowok dan cantik untuk perempuan.

Bisnis K-pop, menurut Reza, menginginkan penyanyi yang sempurna secara fisik. Jika kurang sempurna, wajah penyanyi akan di-make over alias dipermak, termasuk melalui operasi plastik. Penyanyi dari Indonesia yang terpilih dalam audisi, nantinya pun harus bersedia menjalani operasi plastik. Dalam kontrak, nanti ada penjelasan mengenai hal itu. ”Mereka sudah siapkan 500.000 dollar AS untuk biaya operasi plastik bagi peserta yang lolos,” kata Reza.

Fanatik

Bintang pop Asia muncul dari masa ke masa. Teresa Teng (1953-1995), penyanyi asal Taiwan, pernah sangat populer di Indonesia era 1970-an. Antara lain lewat lagu ”Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin”. Kemudian pada era 1990-an muncul Aaron Kwok (45) dan Andy Lau (49).

Bintang pop Asia pernah mewabah sekitar 8 tahun lalu ketika kelompok F4 populer seiring popularitas sinetron Meteor Garden. Pada masa itu lagu berbahasa Mandarin lebih banyak diputar di radio ketimbang lagu-lagu K-pop atau Jepang dengan J-Pop. Dalam catatan radio Gaya FM, perbandingan pemutaran lagu saat itu adalah 40 persen untuk Mandarin, baru kemudian Korea dan Jepang masing-masing 30 persen.

”Pada dua tahun terakhir ini berbalik, lagu Korea sudah lebih dari 40 persen,” kata Erriyanie Populetta dari Gaya FM Bekasi.

Pendengar program Gaya Oriental di Gaya FM adalah remaja usia SMP sampai kalangan dewasa usia 25 tahun. Acara yang dimulai sejak 6 tahun lalu itu diudarakan setiap Rabu dan Jumat malam.

Kefanatikan penggemar K-Pop juga tampak dari penggunaan nama samaran pendengar dan penyiar radio. Hotman Christian, pengasuh acara Bintang Asia Pro2 Bandung, misalnya, menggunakan nama Korea Hwang Te Ja. ”Kadang pendengar request lagu dengan nama Korea, atau nama seperti personel band Korea. Saya sendiri pake nama Hwang Te Ja yang artinya putra mahkota, he-he-he…,” kata Hotman.

WG Sohee is pouty during philanthropic visit to hospital

Apple Daily 2010-12-23

Following their Hong Kong concert last week, Korean girlgroup WONDERGIRLS (WG) was at a Seoul hospital the other day with fellow disciples like 2PM & missA. They were there to perform & celebrate Xmas early with the sick children. WG sang '2 Different Tears' & other songs, but group member Sohee (pictured) was spotted coping with a mouth ulcer. Good comrade Sunye was teary & emotional at the sight of how much the sick children are suffering.

- - - - - - - - - -

Hey, looks like the HK concert organizer has decided to continue with the WG news clippings.

It has started a new album on its Facebook, although the above Sohee article isn't uploaded yet.

Susan Boyle is HIGH on dancing for a mainland New Year's Eve show

Oriental Daily 2010-12-22

Golden-voiced Susan Boyle is participating in a China TV station's New Year's Eve concert, where she will welcome the new year with the fans. She is going to perform a trendy 'Susan Boyle Dance' too.

China's Jiangsu TV announced yesterday that it has successfully invited Susan Boyle to its 2011 New Year's Eve concert. Famous Korean girlgroup WONDERGIRLS (WG) & singer Lee Jung Hyun have already confirmed their attendance.

According to reports, Susan has signed a contract & the TV station is in the process of obtaining official approval while making flight arrangements & outlining an itinerary. Despite being an international superstar, Susan has not put on airs for her 1st China visit. She merely asked for adequate pineapple juice to drink, even saying helpfully: "Treat me like an ordinary guest performer".

Although Susan did not make any special requests with hotel accommodation, she has been very meticulous with the concert lighting & sound equipment. The TV station will make changes at her behest; the fans are going to get Susan's best performance on the night.

[skipped last paragraph, which elaborates on her concert set: 3 songs, a new dance, etc.]

WG's HK concert was also featured in Macau's Hou Kong Daily.

KKKkkk.... I fully understand the language. The author completely mistaken WG for SNSD ( or is it the way around?). *shakes head*

[Guest ashenlo]

found this in MissA's thread

[Guest sushii-viet]

KKKkkk.... I fully understand the language. The author completely mistaken WG for SNSD ( or is it the way around?). *shakes head*

How can he mistake WG for SNSD.

5 Talented girls mistaken for 9 superficial girls, It's a shame for WG.

Sorry Sones, but it's what I think.

Collated info of the Four Seasons event in Harbin (Heilongjiang Province) on December 29.

It looks legit: the culmination of a year-long property launch event. The organizer had held a industry reception party in April, then a commercial cocktail party with Mercedez-Benz in Sept. Both events were quite posh & extravagant.

The latest fete is apparently for the property buyers, & it is going to take place in a sports arena (instead of in-house premises).

Here is an ad banner promoting the scheduled performers.
