Amber Liu

New wave as a solo artist

Amber Liu recently kicked off her 2020 “X” tour in Fresno, California on January 24 following the release of her album “X.” Guest artists Justine Carradine, Meg & Dia, Justin Park were joined.

Amber uses her growing influence to support female empowerment as a global brand ambassador for brands including Nike and Redken.

In 2019 she was a prominent figure in a series of Nike’s Just Do It films.

Originally from California, Amber Liu was discovered at the age of 15 by SM Entertainment and made her debut as a member of the recordbreaking electro-pop-based K-pop female group f(x). The group quickly became one of the industry’s most popular and awardwinning including becoming the first K-pop act to perform at SXSW in 2013, with the

New York Times’ Jon Pareles calling their performance “impeccable.”

In 2015, Amber’s first solo release, “Beautiful”, debuted at #2 on Billboard’s World Albums chart. She has also made a career on television and film, hosting several variety and travel shows in South Korea, and will star in the American indie film The Eagle and the Albatross in 2020.

Amber Liu annonçait sa tournée nord-américaine «X» de 24 dates avec Meg & Dia en ouverture de toutes les dates nord-américaines.

Elles étaient accompagnées de Justice Carradine du 17 janvier au 04 février et ensuite de Justin Park du 5 février au 22 février 2020 ! Amber utilise son influence grandissante pour soutenir l’émancipation des

femmes en tant qu’ambassadrice mondiale de marques telles que Nike et Redken. En 2019, elle a été une figure marquante d’une série de films Just Do It de Nike.

Originaire de Californie, Amber Liu a été découverte à l’âge de 15 ans par SM Entertainment et a fait ses débuts en tant que membre du groupe féminin K-pop f(x), qui a battu tous les records en matière d’électro-pop. Le groupe est rapidement devenu l’un des plus populaires et des plus primés de l’industrie, devenant notamment le premier groupe K-pop à se produire au SXSW en 2013, Jon Pareles du New York

Times ayant qualifié leur performance d’«impeccable».

En 2015, le premier album solo d’Amber, «Beautiful», est arrivé deuxième au classement international des albums de Billboard. Elle a également fait carrière à la télévision et au cinéma, animant plusieurs émissions de variétés et de voyages en Corée du Sud, et sera la vedette du film indépendant américain «The Eagle and the Albatross» en 2020.

Lia Kim

Congratulations on moving the studio, how do you feel ?

At the Nonhyeon-dong studio, the studio space was limited and we had to send a lot of the students back. I felt really bad, but now that we’ve moved to a much bigger space in Seongsudong, I’m happy that we are able to fit everyone in the studio.

Your playlist these days?

I recently posted it on Instagram, but I’ve been listening to Ruel’s Painkiller a lot. As soon as I heard it, it became my favorite song. The Weeknd’s new album is also full of danceable songs and I listen to it often. I stretch to 2 by H.E.R every day, and Janelle Monae’s Make Me Feel is on the playlist because I’d like to choreograph the song.

Where do you find inspiration for your choreography?

I usually get a lot of inspiration from movies and fashion shows. There has been a lot of good music that came out recently and I enjoy freestyling to the unique emotions of the artists of various genres. So instead of trying to squeeze out the choreography, I try to focus on my improvisational movements.

Please tell us on which song you have been creating your choreography on recently.

There are some songs I’ve been working on since Mamamoo’s “Hip,” but I

can’t tell you right now because they haven’t been released yet. I want to post it later on the 1Million Youtube channel or on my personal Instagram after they are released.

What is your most memorable project?

I recently filmed the video “Killing Me Perfectly” in Paris, and I remember going to and from Cergy Lake, which is about two hours from Paris, countlessly for three days. It was raining a lot and all the staff and I went through so much that Cergy Lake is all I can think of when someone talks about Paris. It was a difficult project, but I’m really attached to it because the storyline and the visuals were depicted just as I had hoped.

What are your favorite cities and places in Europe?

Brighton! I’ve always wanted to go to the Seven Sisters, but I haven’t been there yet. When I was invited to the Burberry show in London in February, I tried to go, but the schedule was very tight and I didn’t get to visit it.

Do you have plans to visit Europe ?

Every time I’ve visited Europe, it was because of a project or a business trip.

I want to take a vacation in Europe the next time I visit. I would love to relax in Brighton and other places all over Europe.

PLAN IT K-pop A&R plan music sourcing, production, branding, choreography, artwork music video -everything.

36

T.

Hello, I am Eunjeong, Kim. I have worked as an A&R in music labels in Seoul, and now I am working independently as an international A&R in London. Nice to meet you.

A&R means Artist and Repertoire, and is responsible for producing record albums for artists. It‘s hard to define exactly A&R because it has a slightly different work role depending on the company.

But they usually work as a coordinator to make albums such as music production, choreography, artwork and music videos. And they also participate in music broadcasts and concert rehearsals to monitor artist performances.

Specifically, A&R’s main role is to discuss the concept of the album through meetings with artists and related departments, and to create the appropriate brief and send it to domestic and foreign composers or publishers.

And then they will collect and select the demo that fits the concept, and follow the processing of the song from vocal to session recording, mixing and mastering. I think choreography is one of the important missions because dance is very important in K-pop.

From previous work projects, I observed many Kpop songs were sourced by American and Swedish songwriters, not much cases in the UK. I see it as an opportunity and i could be the bridge connecting the missing links.

My previous project was <PRODUCE X 101> is one of the PRODUCE 101 series organised by CJ ENM. It‘s a K-pop idol audition programme that selects 101 trainees and trains them for about 100 days and debuts the final surviving members through various missions.

I was in charge of A&R and music production for the album released through the programme. As it was

a big and popular project, I received 1,200 demos. I was surprised that I had never received so much, so I spent a lot of time monitoring.

Thankfully, it was such a great experience for me to be able to participate in the vocal recording director of trainees.

Kpop trainees spend a lot of time practicing because they are literally training to become idols. Depending on their talent and position in the group, they will receive vocal or rap lessons. But basically, choreographers are essential, and there are trainees who take acting lessons if necessary. These days trainees also learn how to write the songs and compose the beats. Trainees have no choice but to practice hard because they get a weekly or monthly evaluation. Ever since they became trainees, they seem to be training themselves to create what kind of entertainer they want to be.

I think I will continue to work in K-pop in the future.

But I want to focus more on the discovery of new talent in the music world. I went to the BBC Music Introducing LIVE event, which is a big event in the UK Music industries once a year. I saw A&R listen to the new songwriters and give them feedback. It was very impressive to me.

It seemed like a very fair audition, and I think I‘ve cemented my vision as an A&R. Bonjour, je suis Eunjeong, Kim. J‘ai travaillé en tant que A&R dans le domaine de la musique coréenne, et maintenant je travaille en tant que A&R international indépendant, à Londres.

Ravi de vous rencontrer.

Dans le dictionnaire, A&R signifie Artiste et Répertoire. Il est responsable de la production des albums pour les artistes. Il est difficile de définir exactement ce qu’est un A&R car son rôle

est légèrement différent selon la société. Mais ils travaillent généralement en tant que coordinateur pour réaliser des albums tels que la production musicale, la chorégraphie, les œuvres d‘art et les vidéos musicales.

Ils participent également à des émissions musicales et à des répétitions de concerts pour suivre les performances des artistes.

Plus précisément, le rôle principal d‘A&R est de discuter du concept de l‘album lors de réunions avec les artistes et les départements concernés, de rédiger le brief et de l‘envoyer aux compositeurs ou aux éditeurs nationaux et étrangers. Ensuite, ils collectent et sélectionnent la démo qui correspond au concept, et suivront le traitement de la chanson, de l‘enregistrement vocal à la session, au mixage et au mastering. Je pense que la chorégraphie est l‘une des missions importantes, car la danse est très importante dans la K-pop. <PRODUCE X 101> est l‘une des séries PRODUCE 101 organisées par CJ ENM. Il s‘agit d‘un programme d‘audition de « trainees » pour découvrir de nouvelles idoles de la K-pop. Le programme sélectionne 101 « trainees » et les forme pendant environ 100 jours. Les derniers membres restants sont ensuite formés à travers diverses missions. J‘étais responsable de l‘A&R et de la production musicale pour l‘album sorti dans le cadre du programme. Comme il s‘agissait d‘un projet important et connu, j‘ai reçu 1 200 démos. J‘ai été surpris puisque je n’en avais jamais reçu autant, alors j‘ai passé beaucoup de temps à toutes les regarder. Heureusement, c‘était une si formidable expérience pour moi de pouvoir participer à la direction de l‘enregistrement vocal des « trainees ».

Ils passent beaucoup de temps à s‘entraîner parce qu‘ils sont véritablement des « trainees » destinés à devenir des idoles. En fonction de leur talent et de leur position dans le groupe, ils reçoivent des cours de chant ou de rap. Mais la présence de chorégraphes est essentielle, et en cas de besoin, certains « trainees » suivent des cours de théâtre. Et de nos jours, « l‘idole autoproduite », qui signifie qu‘ils composent leurs propres chansons, est devenue une tendance. C’est pourquoi un « trainee » qui a du talent pour la composition prend des cours de composition ou d‘instrument. « Les trainees » n‘ont pas d‘autre choix que de s‘entraîner dur puisqu‘ils sont évalués chaque semaine ou chaque mois. Depuis qu‘ils sont devenus « trainees » , ils s‘entraînent à créer le genre d‘artiste qu‘ils veulent être.

Je pense qu’à l‘avenir je vais continuer à travailler dans le domaine de la K-pop. Mais je veux me concentrer davantage sur la découverte de nouveaux talents.

Je suis allée à l‘événement BBC Music Introducing LIVE, qui est un grand événement dans l‘industrie musicale britannique qui a lieu une fois par an. J‘ai vu les A&R écouter les nouveaux compositeurs et donner leurs avis. C‘était très impressionnant pour moi.

L‘audition m‘a semblé très équitable et je pense que j‘ai consolidé ma vision en tant qu‘A&R.

London based choreographer Coco shares her latest contemporary performance Hyper Hygienic to highlight fine dust air pollution in South Korea

40

I‘m a choreographer and dancer who loves ‘art’ in general. At the age of five, I started ballet and began to learn Korean dance from the age of 10 to university.

I have performed domestically in South Korea and internationally in USA, Japan, China, etc. I have studied at Trinity Laban Conservatoire Music and Dance in MFA Choreography and am studying dance education at Royal Academy of Dance at the moment. I also work for Kpop music label as a Project Manager / A & R and K-POP dance in London. I have always been close with fine art recently entered the KPOP world and have quite recently.

Virginia Wolf, Peggy Guggenheim, and Sidney Gabriel Collett are my role models. <Hyper Hygienic> is a dance piece presented at Resolution Festival, one of the biggest London Dance Festivals hosted by The Place Theatre every year.

We performed ‘micro-particles’ which are

“Always keep your eyes open. Keep watching.

Because whatever you see can inspire you.”

- Grace Coddington

the biggest issues in present South Korea. Y Dance company brings Korean cutural themes into collaboration of contemporary dance and Korean dance techniques. We have been trying to cover those topics in various art forms in screen dance, installation, live performance and etc. Contemporary Korean features, Korean tradition’, rather than simply contemporary, which is why social issues such as suicide, we also deal with micro-particles on the subject, but in the end, we are dealing with the problems of universal modern society around the world, such as mental illness or environmental pollution. Furthermore, specific topics such as suicide and micro-particles seem to be limited to Korea only, but eventually address the problems of societies around the world, such as mental illness or environmental pollution.

I usually go to exhibitions and dance shows to explore visual and three-dimentional stimulus creates - giving me a lot of inspiration. When it comes to create my art work, my personal experiences are the main sources. My work is mainly based on the experience of the present phenomenon or observation of objects and I consider them as a reproduce piece that was reinterpreted and re-presented by me. For this reason, I believe that the audience‘s experiences with the productions of the work will not be the same according to the experiences of each person. The reactions through which the thoughts and perspectives of the audience are reproduced are also part of the arts.

For me, the greatest happiness is that I can work with the people who like me and I like and produce something meaningful work, and make good results which can allow everyone to develop. It seems like a very abstract answer, but I quite sure that what I am pursuing now may be the same as what I will do in the future, too.

KJOU Magazine Parasite by Director Bong Joon-ho, courtesy of CJ ENM

Oscars for

PARASIT 52

Parasite has recently won many awards, including the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, as well as many others at the BAFTA, Golden Globes, Blue Dragon Film Awards, AACTA, etc.

The movie has forever made film history when it received the 2020 Oscars for Best Picture, even though it was in a language other than English. This is the first time in the 92-year history of the Oscar Academy that this has happened. It has also won best foreign picture, best director and best screenplay! It has won all those awards while facing serious competition (Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood, 1917...)! Director Bong Joon-ho made a speech after receiving the prize for Best Director explaining that since his youth, he has a quote by Martin Scorsese carved deep into his heart: «The most personal is the most creative». He also expressed his gratitude to Tarantino for defending his work by saying, «Quentin, I love you.»

Parasite is the story of Ki-taek, a young boy from a poor South Korean family. He manages to enter the service of the very rich Park family by giving English lessons to their daughter, without knowing that this will create a chain reaction with unexpected consequences.

Do not miss this movie as it will not leave you unmoved!

Parasite a remporté, entre autre, la Palme d’Or au Festival de Cannes, ainsi que de nombreuses autres récompenses aux BAFTA, Golden Globes, Blue Dragon Film Awards, AACTA, etc. Le film a à jamais marqué l’histoire du cinéma en recevant les Oscars 2020 pour le meilleur film bien qu’étant en une langue autre que l’anglais, c’est la première fois dans les 92 ans d’existence de l’Académie des Oscars que cela arrive. Il a aussi remporté l’Oscar du meilleur film étranger, du meilleur directeur ainsi que du meilleur scénario ! Il a gagné tous ces prix en faisant face à une sérieuse compétition (Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood, 1917...) !

Le réalisateur Bong Joon-ho a prononcé un discours après avoir reçu le prix du meilleur réalisateur, expliquant que depuis sa jeunesse il a, gravée au plus profond de son coeur, une citation de Martin Scorsese : «Le plus personnel est le plus créatif». Il a aussi exprimé sa gratitude envers Tarantino pour avoir défendu son travail en disant : «Quentin je t’aime».

Parasite est l’histoire de Ki-taek, un jeune garçon issue d’une famille pauvre sud-coréenne. Il parvient à entrer au service de la très riche famille Park en donnant des cours d’anglais à leur fille, sans savoir que cela va créer une réaction en chaîne aux conséquences pour le moins inattendues.

One thing for sure is that you will feel a before and an after watching OldBoy!

La scène de combat dans le couloir est très simple, sans effets spéciaux et accompagnée d’une bande son très propre et pourtant elle fait vivre une expé- rience d’un réalisme incroyable. Une chose est sûre, vous ressentirez un avant et un après OldBoy !

Il parvient à échapper à son exécution et cherche ensuite à se venger de son ancien patron, Kang.

05 «Train to Busan», a

movie from Yeon Sang-oh in a completely different environment and style than the previous ones. This one is more like a zombie and drama type of movie!

It is about a father and his

daugher who, on the daugher’s birthday are heading to see her mother. They find themselves caught in the middle of an apocalyspe. This movie is much more than just a zombie movie...

«Train to Busan», un film de Yeon Sang-oh dans un environnement et un style complètement différents des précédents. Celui-ci est un film de zombie au style dramatique ! Il s’agit d’un père et de sa fille qui, le jour de son anniversaire, se rendent chez sa mère.

Could you introduce yourself?

My name is Tania Garin I‘m 18 years old and I live on Reunion Island ! Je m‘appelle Tania Garin j‘ai 18 ans et j‘habite à la Réunion !

What interested you in / made you known aware of K-Pop?

Asian culture has always touched my curiosity. I was already amazed by what it could offer us. As a fan of their customs and their differences from us, I completely fell under the spell. Being a dancer since my early childhood, getting to know a new form of dance through K-Pop, this new musical style that I discovered, radically changed my life.

La culture Asiatique a toujours touché ma curiosité. J‘étais déjà émerveillée par ce qu‘elle pouvait nous offrir. Fan de leurs coutumes et de leurs différences par rapport à nous, je suis complètement tombée sous le charme. Étant danseuse depuis ma plus tendre enfance, connaître une nouvelle forme de danse à travers la K-Pop, ce nouveau style musical que j‘ai découvert, a radicalement changé ma vie.

Who are your favorite artists?

There are really many artists that I carry in my heart but my favorite artists are the members of Exo because it‘s today thanks to them that I really started listening to K-Pop. Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O and Kai in particular.

Il y a vraiment beaucoup d‘artistes que je porte dans mon cœur mais mes artistes préférés sont les membres de Exo car c‘est aujourd‘hui grâce à eux que j‘ai réellement commencé à écouter la K-Pop. Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O et Kai en particulier.

What was your reaction when you saw that Dreamcatcher reacted to your video?

I didn‘t expect it at all. It‘s true that I participated in the #DreamcatcherChallenge on the Amazer application so the idols were bound to see my video to see if my sister and I would have had the privilege to win their albums. But to the point of having had a reaction, which was really positive, despite the fact that we had just started learning how to dance K-Pop, it was really a springboard to keep doing better and still have the possibility to be noticed by great Korean stars.

Je ne m‘y attendais pas du tout. Il est vrai que

j‘ai participé au #DreamcatcherChallenge sur l‘application Amazer donc les idoles allaient forcément voir ma vidéo afin de voir si nous aurions eu le privilège ma sœur et moi de remporter leurs albums. Mais au point d‘avoir eu une réaction, qui plus est vraiment positive, malgré le fait qu’on venait juste de commencer à apprendre à danser la K-Pop, cela a vraiment été un tremplin pour continuer à faire mieux et avoir encore la possibilité d‘être remarquées par de grandes stars coréennes.

If you could change city / country to practice K-Pop dance, where would you go ?

I think that the best place to practice K-Pop dance is its native country, Korea. There is no better place to not be judged on what you listen to and what you dance.

Besides, the great choreographers of Korea and the great idols live there and have dance studios that you can access.

Je pense que le meilleur endroit pour pratiquer la dance K-Pop est son pays natal, la Corée. Il n‘y a pas mieux pour ne pas être jugé sur ce que tu écoutes et ce que tu danses.

Par ailleurs, les grands chorégraphes de Corées et les grandes idoles y vivent et ont des studios de danse auxquels on peut avoir accès.

What is the future of K-Pop according to you? And what would you like it to be?

K-Pop is already worldwide but I think it will spread much more than it already is.

This style of music deserves to be recognised by everyone for the many sacrifices it has had to make to be known and loved.

The idols are also doing their best to meet the expectations of their fans, we must support them and give them all the support they deserve for their hard work.

La K-Pop est déjà mondiale mais je pense qu‘elle se propagera bien plus qu‘elle ne l‘est déjà. Ce style musical mérite d‘être reconnu de tous par les nombreux sacrifices qu‘il a dû subir pour se faire connaître et être aimé.

Les idols font aussi de leurs mieux pour répondre aux attentes de leurs fans, nous devons les supporter et leurs donner tout le soutient qu’ils méritent pour leurs durs labeurs.
