[MANNAM] 2PM Makes a Comeback!

2PM has made their comeback after a 2 year hiatus.

Their title songs are <하.니.뿐> and <Listen To This And Come Back To Me>.

As of now, all the songs have been released.

This album will make it easy for everyone to sing along to the catchy choruses and is filled with compositions by the members themselves.

They've always been known as the "beastly" idols for their strong performances, but they're toning it down for a more mature concept with this release.

The self-composed songs especially show the growth of the individual members.

Although we can't predict the success of this album, we can see the growth of the members and group as a whole. It's also an album that will allow us to guess at the future improvements and changes the group may undergo.

[MANNAM] The representatives of Korean entertainmnet agecies Ver. 3 'JYP Entertainment'

Today I upload a post about JYP Entertainment! 

JYP Entertainment (JYP Co. Ltd., Hangul: 제이와이피엔터테인먼트) is a Korean record label, founded in South Korea in 1997 by Park Jin Young. The label is one of the "big three" record companies in Korea along with YG Entertainment and S. M. Entertainment that have strong market share and international operations.

< 2PM >

 Once home to artists like Rain, Park Ji Yoon, and g.o.d, the label's current roster of recording artists include Wonder Girls, JOO, 2AM, 2PM, Miss A, San E, JJ Project, Baek Ah Yeon and 15&.

 

 

 

 

Park Jin Young founded the company in 1997 as the "Tae-Hong Planning Corporation," which eventually became "JYP Entertainment" in 2001.

The studio and headquarters of its United States (US) branch, JYP USA, officially opened in New York City in June 2007.[1] In October 2008, JYP Entertainment opened the JYP Beijing Center as its China branch and, in the same year, the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) included JYP Entertainment on its roster of high profile clients.

In an interview, Park stated that the success of his artists is due to his creation of a "brand" for the artist. It has been reported that the group is worth in excess of $100 million.

In June 2009, it was officially announced that JYP Entertainment and the Jonas Group signed a management deal for the Wonder Girls. Wonder Girls joined the Jonas Brothers' World Tour 2009, in selected cities,and performed their two songs "Nobody" and "Tell Me" as the opening act. In the same year, Holyim, a joint venture between JYP Entertainment and KeyEast BOF, was founded.

[MANNAM] The representatives of Korean entertainment agencies Ver. 2 'YG Entertainment'

Today, I upload a post about YG entertainment!

 

YG Entertainment (Korean: YG 엔터테인먼트) is a record label and talent agency founded by Yang Hyun-suk based in Seoul, South Korea. It produces and markets music recording/publishing, record manufacturing/sales, artist management, concert production, and new artist discovering/training. YG is an abbreviation for "Yang Goon", a nickname given to the Executive Director Yang Hyun-suk.

 

Once the home of hip-hop groups Jinusean and 1TYM, its current roster of recording artists are known to be some of the biggest K-pop acts internationally. Big Bang, 2NE1, and PSY have proved to be the front runners of Korean music wave, while Epik High, Se7en, Gummy, and Lee Hi have all achieved great success.

YG Entertainment is known for their emphasis on artistic freedom and keeping the integrity of the music. Most of their acts are self-sustaining, since they compose and produce a majority of their own music. The label's distinct philosophy made them outsiders to the Korean mainstream until Big Bang's domination in the late 2000s. Today, YG Entertainment is known as one of the "big three" record companies in South Korea for their large market share. Official contents by YG Entertainment and its artists have cumulatively garnered more than 3.5 billion views and are subscribed by more than 8 million users on YouTube, making them the most viewed and most subscribed artists and entertainment agency in Asia-Pacific.

YG Entertainment's records are distributed by KMP Holdings in Korea, WMG in Taiwan, and Japan operations are managed by YGEX, a collaboration label between AVEX and YG Entertainment. The company officially became a publicly traded company on November 23, 2011. In 2012, YG Entertainment's share prices saw a year-over-year increase of more than 60% due to the increase in publicity following the achievements of multiple artists on the label.

I think only those with the ability belong to YG entertainment. They have their own uniqueness and colors.

Today, I upload a post about one of the Korean Entertainment agencices.

Have you heard about S.M. Entertainment? Whether you have heard about it or not, let's get started!

S.M. Entertainment (Hangul: SM엔터테인먼트) is an independent Korean record label, talent agency, producer, and publisher of pop music, founded by Lee Soo-man in South Korea. Initially, "SM" was an abbreviation of the agency founder's name, but now stands for "Star Museum." Its current CEO is Kim Young-min. The label is one of the "big three" record companies of Korea along with YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment because of strong market share and international operations. SM is credited for starting and leading the Hallyu Wave throughout Asia and internationally.

  <소녀시대, Girls' Generation>

<EXO>

<동방신기, TVXQ>

It is also home to actors like Go Ara, Kim Min-jong, Lee Yeon-hee and Kim Ian. SM Entertainment also co-publishes Avex Trax releases for Japanese artists such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, and Koda Kumi, as well as Johnny's Entertainment acts like Arashi and KAT-TUN.

In 2012, the company's market capitalization rose to ₩1.38 trillion (US$1.24 billion), reaching the status of a mega-corporation.

He showed two images to public through his SNS and said "Let's spread white in Sangam!"

PSY wore a white gown, a wedding dress, a figure skater's cloth and a space suit. His comic appearance provoked mirth. 

His concert 'HAPPENING' will be held on April 13th in Sangam World Cup Stadium. He chose a dress code 'White' and produced a poster for promoting his concert.

Many people expects that how 50,000 people express 'White'.

On March 21st, INFINITE had a comeback performance with 'Man In Love' on Mnet's M-countdown.

After that, on March 24th, they performed 'Man In Love' and Welcome To Our Dream' on big stage like a concert with classic orchestra on SBS' Ingigayo. 

Their performance was a magnificent spectacle.

They wowed audience alike by showing off their romantic dance moves and fantastic live performances on stage.

MANNAM K-pop welcomes their comeback. Next time, hope that we can learn a their song. 

[MANNAM] 'World Star' PSY has released a new song.

'World Star' PSY's new song got a lot of attention throughout to the world.

Billboard, Rolling Stone U.S music magazines, 'The Sun' public English magazine said that "PSY has decided to change his new song's name 'Assarabia'. Because it's hard for foreigners to understand and pronounce it.

'Gangnam Style' by PSY stirred whole world. MANNAM K-pop took a 'Gangnam Style' music video. When his new song release, MANNAM K-pop is going to take a video! I look forward to it! 

[MANNAM] Korean Idol’s Ranking In U.S

Many people had the expectation that PSY would top the charts of the Korean Idols in the U.S, but he ranked the 5^th, with BIGBANG ranked the 1^st.

BIGBANG is a five-member idol group who is popular in Korea, U.S, Asia and Europe.

Before their debut, they were an issue, and after their debut, they got so much love because they produced a lot of hit songs.

Super Junior ranked 2^nd and Wonder Girls ranked the 3^rd.

Super Junior who ranked the 2^nd is an idol boy group and all members have their own characteristic and always work to show their best side to their fans!

Woder Girls who ranked the 3^rd  got a lot of attention because their songs were a hit and spread throughout to the world.

As you see, there is an intersting point in the fact that those who ranked the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd are in each SM entertainment, JYP entertainment and YG entertainment.

And singers who are in these three entertainment agencies, hold high ranks.

Their competition in good faith draw attention from the audience and singers.

It is so interesting thing and I think those who are interested in K-Pop can share it.

FT ISLAND and CNBLUE which are excellent bands, BEAST and RAIN which get a lot of love, T-ARA and SISTAR which have a lot of male fans hold ranks.

I think all people are not that different about how we feel the music even if we are of different nationalities, language and culture. So I am glad that we can share feelings through the music.

p.s I like SISTAR.

[MANNAM] IU becomes Marilyn Monroe with blonde hair and red lipstick?

Singer IU transformed into Marilyn Monroe for the weekend drama 'You Are the Best, Lee Soon Shin'.

She showed a completely different image than the cute girl normally on stage.

In the teaser video, she had Monroe’s trademark blonde hair, red lipstick, and freckles. A clip of IU holding down her white dress as Monroe did in “The Seven Year Itch” is gaining the attention of fans.

IU also narrates during the clip, saying "My name is Soon Shin Lee. People say life is like a play. In life, a lot of things can make you happy, sad, or angry. Stay strong."

Her change into Marilyn Monroe showed us her cute and ladylike sides.

I am a fan of IU and hold great expectations for her. 

I look forward to it.

[MANNAM] The Best of the Money-Making Idols

The February 18th episode of SBS
"Good Morning" showed the ranks of which idols make the most bank.






Who was in first place?

Siwon Choi, a Super Junior members, placed first!

His father, Kiho Choi, was the former president of 'Boryung Medience'! Surprising!

On SBS' "Strong Heart", the leader of Super Junior, Leeteuk, said, "Siwon ranked 1st in earning money in 2011 among the Super Junior members. He took a lot of commercial films abroad in countries such as Thailand, China, and Taiwan. We can't hold a candle to him."

Eunhyuk, another member of Super Junior said, "No matter how much we make, we can't make more than what he already had."

Following in 2nd place is JYJ.

Yoochun Park recently bought an expensive villa, while Junsu Kim and Jaejoong Kim each live in a villa costing about three billion won. How envious we are...

Third place goes to Hara Goo of KARA, 
who bought a house for 1.1 billion won in Cheong-dam dong.

In 4th place, BoA, the star of Asia!

Fifth place is Big Bang's G-Dragon, who receives 1 billion won every year just from royalties.

Even group members are jealous of these money-making stars!

But behind the scenes, they continue to do good deeds, donate to charities, and always work to show their best side to heir fans!

That's why we love K-pop idols!
