Blog #22: Kpop Group - BIGBANG

BIGBANG



No, not the Big Bang Theory but a South Korean idol group formed under YG Entertainment, called BIGBANG that consist of 5 members:
  • G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong)
    • Leader, Main Rapper, Vocalist and Face of the Group

  • T.O.P (Choi Seung-hyun)
    • Lead Rapper, Vocalist and Visual

  • Taeyang (Dong Yong Bae)
    • Main Vocalist and Main Dancer

  • Daesung (Kang Daesung)
    • Lead Vocalist

  • Seungri (Lee Seung Hyun)
    • Lead Dancer, Vocalist and Maknae (Youngest in the group)


A group that has gained the honorific title "Kings of Kpop", as they are often cited to be one of the most influential acts to shape the Kpop industry, helping spread the Korean Wave internationally. Since their debut back 2006, they have topped major Korean music charts and 11 years down the track still produce hit tracks.



Their experimental and diverse use of music genres, personal involvement in producing their own records, and stage performances have been admired by music critics and served as influence to several Kpop and international artists.



Although, they bristle at the label "Kpop."

"Actually, I don't know why they call Korean music 'Kpop,'" Seungri said. "Good music is good music, so if you are going to be doing good music, then they are going to be listening to our music."

G-Dragon chimed in. "We are Korean, so obviously they call our music Kpop. But we never though of our music as Kpop. Our music is just our music."

"It's like this," added T.O.P. "You don't divide pop music by who's doing it. We don't say, for instance, 'white pop' when white people make music."

Blog #24: ISYS100 MUSIC VLOG

When our group was workshopping ideas for our vlog, we were trying to find ways to encapsulate our theme- music. And what better way to achieve this than a karaoke session! It doesn't matter what genre you listen to, or your cultural background, or whether you can play an instrument. Music can, in many ways, bring people together and be extremely meaningful. Most importantly, it can be loads of fun! In light of this, our group headed to Mizuya- a popular Japanese karaoke destination in the city- to film our vlog. We were able to sing songs from each group members' favourite genres- movie sound tracks, rock music, KPOP etc. We channeled our inner Mariah Carey, and belted our hearts out- even if it didn't sound the greatest hahaha. Safal, one of our group members, brought his camera and microphone to record the vlog. He was also responsible for the editing of the footage, as he had the software for it. However, other group members contributed clips to the vlog by cap
