New and old faces for 2016 music scene

 

04065651.jpg

   

The reinvention of hip-hop music, the resurgence of music from the good old days and the manipulation of online music charts by entertainment agencies were some of the big issues that made headlines last year in the music scene.

After a year of ups and downs, here is a look ahead to what the Korean music industry has to offer in 2016.

Return of early-2000s icons

Singer-actor Rain and his once archrival Se7en are on their way to making a comeback.

“You can expect a new album from me between March and April,” Rain told his fans during a recent concert in December. He said his new album will “have all the elements people expect from Rain.”

Se7en is also amping up his presence in the music scene. He recently held concerts at five cities in Japan to mark the 10th anniversary of his debut. The release date is not yet fixed, but he is set to roll out a new album within the first half of this year.

Rain debuted in 1998 while Se7en broke into the music scene in 2003, but the media loved to compare the two as rivals.

Indeed, the two have many things in common.

Both of them soared to stardom with their powerful and dynamic dance performances. For example, Se7en used to dance while wearing Heelys, or sneakers that have wheels on the bottom, in promoting his song “Come Back to Me” in 2003. Every kid and teenager in Korea sang and danced along to his song while wearing Heelys.

In the same year, Rain took the music scene by storm with his medium-tempo dance tune “How to Avoid the Sun.”

But their careers began to go downhill around the time they served their mandatory military duties.

Se7en came under fire for visiting an adult massage parlor while serving in the military in Chuncheon, Gangwon, in 2013. Since the singer was in romantic relationship with actress Park Han-byul for more than 10 years back then, the scandal tarnished his public image even more.

Rain was also criticized for going out on dates with his actress girlfriend, Kim Tae-hee, several times while he was in the military.

Such activities are legally prohibited while serving in the military.

But Rain and Se7en each recently launched their own agencies in a move to recapture their former glory.

Se7en Prepares 1st Album Under Self-Run Agency Eleven9

 

Se7en

Singer Se7en is preparing to release a new album in mid-April, the first under his own agency Eleven9 and since returning from mandatory military service.

A person close to Se7en, also increasingly known by his musical acting name Choi Dong Wook, divulged the album preparation details, reports The Korea Herald.

Earlier in January, a representative from Eleven9 said that Se7en would release the album sometime in spring.

Se7en was involved in a highly publicized scandal while serving out his two-year military service that ended in December 2014. He then officially departed from YG Entertainment in February 2015, ending a 12-year relationship together.

Initially there was speculation that Se7en would join another agency, but he reportedly turned an offer down and chose instead to invest $5 million to set up his own called Eleven9.

Eleven9 was made specifically to promote Se7en's solo activities, and is based in the popular Hongdae neighborhood in Seoul.

Immediately after his return to civilian life and the public spotlight, Se7en decided to focus on non-album activities. He spent most of 2015 performing in a musical and reconnecting with his Japanese fans.

Se7en landed the role of Der Tod, or Death, in the Korean staging of the German musical Elisabeth, which ran from June to September 2015.

Japanese fans also got to see him a lot last year through his fan meetings and 10th anniversary tour.

SE7EN plans release of new music video

 

Singer SE7EN will release a new music video, according to his talent agency Eleven Nine Entertainment on Monday. “SE7EN will release a music video featuring a new song [tentatively titled] ‘That’s Ok’ at midnight on July 7.”

The upcoming track will be the first new song by the 31-year-old singer in three years, since “Thank U” dropped in March 2013. The new song is a groovy R&B track written and composed by the singer. The music video will become available through YouTube and Naver TV Cast, but the song itself won’t be available through popular streaming services like MelOn.

SE7EN is planning to unveil his 10th single “Rainbow” in Japan on July 7. It will be his first album since signing with the major Japanese record label Victor Entertainment early this year.

Since his debut in 2003 with the album “Just Listen,” SE7EN has expanded to areas including musical theater. Most recently, he starred in the hit musical “Elisabeth” last year.

Watch: Se7en Thanks Those Who Have Supported Him During Hard Times In “I’m Good” MV

 

Watch: Se7en Thanks Those Who Have Supported Him During Hard Times In “I’m Good” MV

 

Se7en has gifted fans with his first new track in over three years, entitled “I’m Good”!

On July 7 at midnight KST, the popular R&B singer dropped the music video for the emotional self-composed song. In the track, he sings about how thankful he is for someone who has listened to him and supported him. “I’m good, as long as you say you believe in me,” he sings. Watch the video below :

 

Shortly after the release of the music video, Se7en tweeted, “This is a song I wrote as I thought of all of you who have given me courage and hope when I wanted to give up on everything. I sincerely thank everyone who is always by my side, supporting me and believing me, and has enabled me to start again.”

Se7en went through a difficult period after being wrapped up in a controversy after visiting an adult massage parlor, along with Sangchu, during his military service in 2013. Although he recently made a return to the entertainment world by appearing in a musical last year, this is his first release since his pre-enlistment track “Thank You.”

Sadly, this is not an official comeback from Se7en, as he will not be promoting this track on music shows.

What do you think of “I’m Good”?
