YG Reportedly Preparing Another Girl Group For Debut

Following the reveal of their new girl group Black Pink, YG Entertainment has revealed potential plans to debut another girl group soon.

A representative from YG spoke with news outlet OSEN and said, “We originally planned for a total of nine members, but Yang Hyun Suk changed plans two years ago to debut four members first. It’s not possible to know Yang Hyun Suk’s thoughts precisely, but the remaining five trainees are still with YG and the company atmosphere is that Black Pink is the advance party (group sent ahead).”

Some are anticipating that the debuts of the two girl groups will be similar to the debuts of WINNER and iKON.

Would you like to see another girl group from YG?

JYPE's System That Gives More Possibility On Creating Hit Tracks

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

Recently when we look at the real-time chart on Melon, we discover quite an interesting fact.

At this time of 5pm on the 20th, Songs of JYP Entertainment's artists like TWICE's 'CHEER UP' (#6), Baek Ayeon's 'So-so' (#10), Baek Yerin's 'Bye bye my blue'(#5), etc are all staying within the top 10. Considering that the #1~3 of the Melon chart are all the songs that were performed on the stage of 'Show Me The Money 5', we get to know that JYP is doing something that is never easy.

Game Time by G.Soul

[88-pea.livejournal.com]

Cheongdam, South Korea.

January 18, 2015.

1 AM.

I’m in my boxers, laying in bed. The TV screen flickers with a grainy image of a young Basquiat in his debut performance in the 1980 indie film, Downtown 81.

There’s nothing out of the ordinary with this picture.

Except that I had just made my own official debut an hour ago.

To an outsider, my behavior might be unusual. I considered celebrating with friends, or rehearsing for my next performance in passing thoughts. Anyone else might have done so.

This is the first piece of artist written content at The Music Mind. Looking forward to bringing more of these types of content to fans, so please keep an eye out! As always, suggestions are welcome!

Ailee's music stops mid performance at Kcon + Interview with Fuse

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

When Ailee's back-up music unexpectedly cut out at KCON 2016 New York, the singer didn't miss a beat and slayed the rest of chorus and hook a cappella. Not easy at all, but K-pop fans have come to know the diva for always being extremely confident in herself both on and offstage. Behind the scenes at KCON, we asked the Jersey-bred star to share her stage-slaying tips:

"In Korea these days, a lot of the culture is changing and a lot of the women are becoming a lot more confident—and I would like to think it's because of my music! [Laughs] A lot of things are changing right now and I feel like confidence is key for everyone, whether you're a woman or not. I always think, 'Who cares? Who cares if you mess up?'"

Not that she even needed to care about messing up when it came to her KCON stage.

Fans also love how KCON brings top K-pop acts all to arenas in America. Ailee added how excited she was to share the Prudential Center stage with fellow Day 1 performers Seventeen, with whom she featured on the 2015 single "Q&A" with SVT members Woozi, S.Coups and Vernon. Ailee gave us new details on how the collab went down:

"Woozi hit me up one day and he asked me, 'Noona, it would be really good if you helped us out with this song. I don't know if you'll like it, but I'll send it to you and let me know if you want to help us.' I was like, 'You know what? I don't even need to hear the song. I'll do it.' I didn't think of me as me helping them, I've always wanted to do a collaboration with them ev
er since we were trainees."
