Apinkステージに見る”これがK-POP"

10 years after their debut, Apink's new song "dumhdurum" achieves 6th title on the music chart... carving out a new history [with video]



★There are 1 million trainees from all over Asia (world?) who want to become idols. According to a 2016 survey by the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, there are more than 1,400 trainees who can belong to entertainment agencies. Of those trainees who join talent agencies, only one out of four trainees (less than 40) make their debut within a year.



Even if you can debut, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll become popular. Even if they perform on spectacular stages alongside their predecessors, they will continue to be tested by the differences in skill and rank between the first and second teams.
Currently, Apink and (G)I-DLE are making comeback hits, and TWICE and Red Velvet are at the top of their game. IZ*ONE and itzy are on the rise. There are so many groups that are doing their best to stay on stage and trying to maintain their popularity, as well as groups that are on the borderline.
In order to get our own piece of the pie, we have to show enough popularity and stage power to destroy that corner of the pie. That's why there was a trainee period...
Being a new face is a great weapon, but it only lasts for a short period of time. When the season changes, different flowers will bloom.
Flowers left in season will end in season. What K-POP is looking for is not a temporary flower. It is a flower that survives without decaying even when the seasons change. If the originality doesn't go out of style, it will become a weapon, and the same goes for the visuals, of course.
However, the walls of K-POP are tough. You can't get past the four seasons just by looking fresh and visual. They end up in a temporary album and then graduate.
When you watch Apink's stage, an indescribably fascinating world emerges in the fusion of singing, dancing, and the resulting performance.
The dynamic visuals and purity of each person are miraculously beautiful. The moment I finished watching it, I felt as if the entire stage had come back to life.
The contents of the six crowns were also fulfilling. Evolution could be seen with each stage, and the closing performance was a masterpiece with a high level of perfection.
This is K-POP. It was a stage that trainees aiming for this stage should definitely watch and learn from.
