Zico's a rising idol producer joining the ranks of GD and Junhyung

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Just talks about how G-Dragon and Junhyung are known for being idol producers and now Zico's making a name for himself as well.

1. [+3,242, -676] GD and Zico are known for being amazing at rap and composing/writing lyrics... but why Junhyung???

2. [+2,771, -243] Hard to even call Zico an idol since he's been so famous since his underground days

3. [+2,252, -108] Zico and Song Minho were so famous underground. Goes to show that talent will really help you shine in the long run.

4. [+2,387, -487] Junhyung's a producer ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+916, -176] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ TOP has more composed songs than Junhyung

6. [+898, -172] Rap is Zico and producing is GD but I don't know if Junhyung's at the level to be shoulder to shoulder with these two yet

7. [+863, -181] I acknowledge GD and Zico but... not Junhyung.

8. [+815, -165] I'm not a fan of any of them but I consider GD a wall and Zico over Junhyung of course ㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+705, -134] GD's not an idol...

10. [+573, -65] Zico's good

I know there's no actual article but I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Lol poor Junhyung, K-netz seem to love Beast but every time GD is brought up all hell breaks loose. I'm happy to see Mino being mentioned but lbr if he wasn't in YG he'd probably still be a nugu. So which idols do you think deserve to be here or do not get enough credit for their involvement in the group's music??

I think all of them are good but I personally like most of Beast & Block B songs over Big Bang (or even GD's solos)

[noodlebringer.livejournal.com]

YAAAS, zico is an amazing producer, he knows what works for his bb's and what doesn't.

hmm, i'm not really into beast so meh.

gd- u_u
not so sure

for me, i'd def have to go to le. hands down.

what about you guys???

[asteri5k.livejournal.com]

GD has produced handful of national phenomena songs that surpass the idol market. I think that in itself is a feat.

Haru-Haru, Lies, I Cheated (I'm Having an Affair) feat Park MyungSoo and Bom, Heartbreaker too probably.

[nimco.livejournal.com]

I still don't like any members of beast. Minho has a lot of potential.

[aaalove.livejournal.com]

I acknowledge Zico as the best, GD is still behind him because his rap lacks. He's just not as good as Zico. Junhyung...just no. Love them all though regardless <3

9. [+705, -134] GD's not an idol...
lul!! i'm sorry, pls stay delusional...

[racquelle2005.livejournal.com]

I don't think either of them are on GD's level. When they write a song that helps change the direction of mainstream idol music and propels their group to a whole new level of stardom then we can talk.

[racquelle2005.livejournal.com]

also gonna add that I think a lot of people underestimate GD's impact on the industry. I mean when you really think about it putting Junhyung and Zico on his level is kind of ridiculous. Yeah they've both written good songs for both of their groups but neither of them have had the kind of impact that GD has

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Are people really dismissing GD? His songs might at times divide International fans but the dude is an Icon in Korea.

[nimco.livejournal.com]

Its just kpop fans that just started stanning idols after BB blew up. They don't know the struggle of being an "ugly" idol group who were trying to fit in with other pretty pop boys. GD made BB a household name and become an icon himself as a composer and producer. He paved the way for other idols to write their own music.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

yeah Omona tends to do this thing a lot where they cry out for underrated idols (which is fine) but at the same time dismiss some idols overrated when really, they're not. GD's accomplished a lot more than what some Omonians want to believe.

Your icon is so cute! He looked adorable at that fansign.

[soramai.livejournal.com]

lol, poor Junhyung

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

i LOVE making fun of GD it's my favorite thing to do but i think he's done so well that i consider him an artist. i don't like all of his songs but he can craft a great pop tune. OOAK mini is all great pop tunes tbh.
i listen to block b's music but i dont really pay attn to who does what but if zico produces all their music then more power to him. i prefer his voice over GD though.
junhyung?

[anathema-switch.livejournal.com]

The only song I know that's composed by Junhyung is Caffeine which seems to be loved by all the idol hating, junhyung only copies gd!!! netizens lol

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

He wrote/produced Shadow too apparently. I watched something recently and they asked him how he came up with the song. Besides those 2 songs, I have no clue what else he's done.

[sydninicole.livejournal.com]

hahaha @ junhyung

[kinagyo.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Zico's songs. It just suits my style (though I never read the lyrics)
I love some Junhyung's songs (Living without you, Black Paradise, Caffeine, The day you rest). I don't like few songs of him (he's not that experienced as these two and needs time to improve) but I'm reading his lyrics with pleasure. there's a message in his songs differrent than for example B1A4 baby goodnight
sometimes I find GD's lyrics boring but I like some of his work (especially the older ones) like Hallelujah and Oh my friend

I appreciate them all for their efforts. I can't resist people/groups with passion.
I only wish that my Infinite boys will start writing songs bc all my favourite groups (FT Island, JYJ, Beast) are taking a part in creating their music with the exception of Infinite xd

[rawbabyoctopus.livejournal.com]

"My favorite idol composer is Jinyoung"

Came here to say this too haha. I just started listening to B1A4 a few weeks ago and I'm loving his style.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

my problem with junhyung
is that he puts terrible english in songs.
quit trying it, boy.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Lets make a Love baby

[uledy.livejournal.com]

I can't with these youngins dissing GD when homeboy has over TWICE as many copyrighted and produced songs as Zico. You may not like him or his music, but dude is a talented hit-maker. I don't even know how you can attempt to refute that.

Same with Junhyung. I think people want to cling to Zico as though he's some ~true~ artist or some bullshit like that, but homeboy is as much of an idol as GD. Don't get it twisted, they're both K-pop artists. lololol.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

BC ppl forever stay pressed over GD. The amount of hate I see for him on different forums baffles me. Is he a jackass sometimes, def, but he's super talented (and I'm not just sayin that cuz he's my bias) - he truly is an artist.

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

GD is undeniably an influential and talented artist but I don't like his music (anymore). Junhyung got a lot of potential but his ~Engrish~ ruins the songs. Zico's probably my favorite out of these three.

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

hmmmm.... I don't think anybody's refuting GD's impact on the kpop industry or the fact that he continues to produce hits, most of what I see (and where I'm coming from) is people just not liking his music / productions; which is totally legitimate.

Just because Korea thinks he's a god, doesn't mean we have to -.-

anways....... k-netz continuing to think that Junhyung is just a low rent GD remains hilarious to me, and Zico deserves all the praise he gets, I still think he's a more talented MC than GD *shrug*

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

i don't think anyone that knows what they're talking about thinks GD is a better rapper than zico tbh

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

My 2 cents...

Just because you don't like a particular song, or style of music, doesn't mean the person who produced it isn't talented. Ppl need to stop thinking their subjective opinions are hard core facts.

I love Zico's stuff, esp some of the pre-debut stuff I've been able to listen find. I don't love every single song by any of them (didn't know Junhyung had that many songs under his belt though, will have to check them out) but that doesn't mean they aren't talented. Meh. Everyone's got room to grow I guess.

[vvipforseungri.livejournal.com]

only here for the mino mention and damn I was listening to some of his underground stuff and really like it. also a lot of the stuff he did with zico/kyung/hanhae/u-kwon too.

[batterydead.livejournal.com]

yeah same glad he's getting some recognition. man can rap about hating ants and it sounds good

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

"6. [+898, -172] Rap is Zico and producing is GD but I don't know if Junhyung's at the level to be shoulder to shoulder with these two yet"

Pretty much, though none of my favourite BB songs are songs GD wrote. Junhyung isn't even close to either of them, and Zico is miles above GD & Junhyung when it comes to rapping.

[pentrue.livejournal.com]

I agree with Zico in terms of rapping ability. Unfortunately (and I hate to say it) as a producer GD is leaps and bounds ahead of him.

Gonna give Zico time though, am sure he will catch up.

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

Tbh I think Zico is way ahead of GD in both rapping and producing. I will admit that GD can produce and rap pretty okay. I don't get what the k-netz have against Junhyung. Am I the only one not seeing how he's 'copying GD'? Yay for the Mino mention

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I dont see it either how Junhyung is copying GD. Their styles is completely diff.

[batterydead.livejournal.com]

i hate gd as a person but i can't lie he's great at producing. zico is a better rapper but he has to catch up to gd on terms of producing. he has potential so i can see that happening!
