Idols are not like idols in the past. The time has come where idols today partake in composing, song-writing, and even producing.
The most representative idol group is B1A4. B1A4 is a five-member boy group with leader Jinyoung, Sandeul, Baro, CNU, and Gongchan. B1A4 are known as ‘self-producing idols’ who promote actively with their self-made songs. The title track ‘Sweet Girl’ in their recent 6th mini album is one of Jinyoung’s productions. B1A4′s Jinyoung has taken on the challenge of producing, and together they create their own songs, write their own lyrics, and decide on their concept, showing their capabilities in a wide range of areas. Of course, songs made by well-known composers are being sent in their direction. However, B1A4 is making music that suits themselves the most, showing their positive development. In particular, B1A4 showed this with ‘Sweet Girl’, which won 1st place on MBC Show Champion on the 19th. Afterwards they were also nominated for 1st place, gaining great attention. ---------------- This is also the case for VIXX’s first subunit VIXX LR. VIXX LR is a unit group composed of Leo and Ravi. This unique collaboration between VIXX’s main vocalist and main rapper has attracted attention even before their release. However, there is more than that. VIXX LR stood on stage with their self-made music, and participated in the composition, song-writing, and producing of the entire album, surpassing limits of an idol. In addition to the title track, VIXX LR have shown their outstanding capabilities through the entire album. They’ve reached musical achievements by hitting 1st place for music sales on the Hanteo chart website. Truthfully, there are expected prejudices for idols’ self-composed music. But VIXX LR’s mini album ‘Beautiful Liar’ is one that can be listened to trustingly, and it has been recognized by the public as an album that holds worth. Aside from these groups, Subin of Dal Shabet took on the task of producing their entire mini album, the first among girl groups, which made this a popular topic. As well, Hyuna participated in song-writing for her fourth solo album ‘A+’. She was also involved in the album jacket shoot, music video, trailer video, and choreography, gaining attention for her participation in a wide range of areas. These are developing idols who make music and performances to suit themselves, not just for the sake of expanding their specifications (qualifications). Under their activities and influences, we are looking forward to the birth of a more diverse and rich K-pop.
