omonatheydidHello everyone… Continuing on with the third FROM YG.
Which musician will YG showcase for the second time in 2014?
April 7th last year marked the final round of “K-Pop Star Season 2” and exactly in one year, on April 7th this year, last year’s winner AKDONG MUSICIAN is scheduled to release their first debut album.
Their first full album is to hold a total of 11 songs and LEE CHAN HYUK was in charge of producing as well as writing and composing all the songs.
The first debut performance of the new song will be showcased on “K-Pop Star Season 3” that is to be aired live on April 6th and on the following day, on April 7th, all songs from the first album will be unveiled online.
What is AKDONG MUSICIAN’s title song?
Selecting a title song under the prediction of which will be most popular among the public is one of the concerns for people in the music industry and of the most important senses a producer must possess.
It has already been 16 years since YG began the music production business and choosing a title song has never been as difficult as doing so for AKDONG MUSICIAN’s first album.
The reason behind such trouble was that all 11 songs carried the freshness and unique charms of AKDONG MUSICIAN,
like when they first unveiled “DON’T CROSS YOUR LEGS” and “YOU ARE ATTRACTIVE” on K-Pop Star last year.
Their ability to decipher untouched themes in pop music from a completely different viewpoint and the originality of their lyrics could be described by no word other than “astonishing.”
The hard part was to pick one out of the 11 songs that were all perfect for a title song but after putting much thought we came up with an interesting idea.
That is to select three title songs and film three music videos and the interesting point here is that AKDONG MUSICIAN selects one, while YG selects the other, and the fans will be in charge with the last one.
To sum it up,
Apart from the two title songs chosen by AKDONG MUSICIAN and YG the song that becomes most popular in one week after the album release on online music sites will be the third title song and we immediately start filming an M/V of that song.
The title song chosen by AKDONG MUSICIAN is “MELTED“ and YG chose one titled, “200%”
“MELTED“ is a song that compares adults to cold ice, a slow song that breaks away from the usual AKDONG MUSICIAN style and “200%” chosen by YG is a medium-tempo song that embraces their charms.
The M/V revelation will be in accordance with the production schedule— The M/V of “200%” will be unveiled first with the album release on April 7th, and one week later, on April 14th, the MV of “MELTED” will be released. The third M/V of the last title song chosen by the fans
will be produced as soon as possible for revelation before the end of April.
We are currently preparing a number of entertaining AKDONG MUSICIAN-related promotions and further detail on this will be provided in the future through official channels.
So, we ask for your enthusiasm and interest for AKDONG MUSICIAN who devoted an entire year on producing music.
I will be back soon as album releases of YG artists including PSY, WINNER, TAEYANG SOLO and EPIK HIGH are approaching.
Thank you.

Date: 2014-03-30 03:55 pm (UTC)also 3 mvs, 3 title songs, full album with 11 songs should be undetlined and 60pt. i'm shocked that yg is actually doing so much for them.
no subject
Date: 2014-03-30 03:56 pm (UTC)Wow...this actually sounds like there was planning and forethought involved
Date: 2014-03-30 04:04 pm (UTC)LOL...but really YG was their best option for control of their music. This idea of Akdong picks one, YG picks one, and the public picks one title works since he's tying it into their KPop Star foundations.

Date: 2014-03-30 04:52 pm (UTC)People keep complaining either way. I'm just happy they're debuting. Now I'm waiting for Winner and that girl group. It has been 10,000 years for those girls.
no subject
Date: 2014-03-30 04:53 pm (UTC)I guess we'll see winner in summer or in october (?)
no subject
Date: 2014-03-30 04:57 pm (UTC)But, omg. Winner. This wait is excruciating. And that's mostly due to the fact that he said they were gonna debut right after Who Is Next ended. So every month just feels like more and more of a lie.
no subject
Date: 2014-03-30 05:05 pm (UTC)But fucking typical YG to quite literally wait for the last possible (legally speaking) day to debut them *sideeyes*

Date: 2014-03-30 07:20 pm (UTC)As long as they retain their music style, I'm sure Korea will lap up whatever they have to offer. Akdong seems to be the same calibre of digital monster that Busker Busker is.

Date: 2014-03-31 12:37 am (UTC)But also I'll only believe it when I see it. I really love Akdong Musician, and the way YG have been managing them is just ugh. Surely it'd have made more sense to debut them quickly, while the public was still all over them right after the show ended. I get that they're still likely to be very popular, but the extra momentum right after their win wouldn't have hurt them surely.
Anyway I believe in Akdong Musician. I love the vast majority of their music - it's such great, study chill music - and maybe they'll get out of their YG contract and sign with a label that knows what to do with them. Like idk, Jellyfish? Woolim maybe? Those are the only labels I still believe in.
