EDITORS’ LETTER

FOR YOU,

THE READER: A

pril is well known for being that time of the year when spring it’s at its best. Every flower blossoms with the purest colors, the sky is clear blue and everything in general takes a certain new beginning.

Daniela and I thought spring was the best time to launch this project that a couple of months ago was nothing more than a cool but vague idea running around our minds for quite a while; but it turned out that it wasn’t much of a vague idea —actually, it was a great project, and soon both of us started working on it. In these last five years, the Korean Wave has attacked the western side of the world, bringing a wonderful and rather unique taste of music, fashion sense and some other aspects, we were sort of... uhm, lacking. Along with this, the insterest among teenagers and young adults has grown really fast causing not only take interest in the enetertainment world, but in the whole korean world as well. The K-Space is —Just as the name implies it, a place where you will be able to escape for a while from your daily life and take a short trip to Korea’s entertainment industry. You will find out the latest trends, news and recent artists coming out to dazzle with their amazing dancing skills and perfect vocals. With nothing else to say, we are honoured and extremely happy to introduce you to The K-Space’s first of infinites issues. This is the result of hard work combined with love, and we hope you enjoy your reading, as much as we enjoyed preparing and making it for you.

with all love,

JYP Entertainment artists give their honest opinions about ‘Sixteen’

s more and more people set their hearts on becoming an idol, the competition is getting increasingly tough and even trainees, who usually get into companies through auditions,

find themselves auditioning all over again. JYP Entertainment is the next company to utilize the survival program format as a method to decide which of his trainees will form his new girl group and people are highly anticipating the new show, ‘Sixteen.’ As we all know, the first ones using this way of debuting new idols to the world, was the famour YG entertainment.The press conference for his project took place at Pine Hall, located in the second floor of the 63 Building, on April 29. It showed not only the sixteen teaser videos for each competitor but also videos of current JYP artists leaving their honest thoughts about the show. miss A’s Suzy said frankly, “It’s merciless and scary,” while Fei and Jo Kwon stated, “I don’t know very well. What the criteria is.” Solo artist Sunmi added, “I think it’s going to be suffocating,” and showed concern for the trainees. Competition is definitely tough. You can see if these sixteen girls have what it takes when the program starts airing on May 5th on arirang TV.

MAIN STAR

EXODUS

EXO is reminding fans why they fell in the love with the Korean-Chinese boy band with a no-frills new single and music

video for its latest earworm “Call Me Baby.”

how *NSYNC would if they hit their prime in 2015. But of course, it’s K-pop and that means EXO is not only bringing in the nostalgic feel, but doing it at a 200 percent intensity, with bigger beats, loads more hooks and adding rap and dance breakdowns. Even a finger-snap section in the bridge feels deliciously dated, even if it was presumably to add a bit of a modern beat. The rather simple video also plays up another one of the best parts of boy bands: their looks. A big contrast to the band’s futuristic “Overdose” vid, “Call Me Baby” is pretty stripped-down

The video instead focuses on the band’s insane choreography and charisma. Every soloist stares at the audience during his part, with the camera almost always zooming in to catch every wink and eye smile. It feels a little more free and fun than past routines. It isn’t the incredible one-take performance of “Growl,” but it’s still really impressive. Text: Jeff Benjamin/ Billboard news. Photos: courtesy of S.M. Entertainment.

Where the video strays from the usual boy-band formula is letting its individual member’s personalities shine through: a positive point here, for sure. While “Overdose” and “Growl” more or less had the band in very similar outfits, “Call Me Baby” has the guys’ in different, nearly contrasting looks that includes everything from basketball jerseys and long fashion jackets to basketball shorts and patterned skinny jeans. It’s not easy to make sure 10 dudes get their equal shine, but letting their different styles make a statement as fans watch the visual, helping solidify each member’s place. Even after a tough year where the band lost two of its original members,

“How EXO Lost Members, But Shined ‘United’ at First Solo Concert” EXO pushes ahead by focusing on the strengths that has made them one of the biggest boy bands of the moment and “Call Me Baby” is a strong attempt to do so. Released in both Korean and Chinese, the track is the lead single off the band’s just-released Exodus album that also comes in a Korean and Chinese version and has remained high on U.S. iTunes Album sales charts. After almost a year away and the departure of two members, boy group sensation EXO is officially back on the K-Pop scene. The now ten-membered group started releasing teasers for their new album “Exodus” on March 18th through the YouTube page of their entertainment company, SM Entertainment. Rather than just releasing member teasers at random like many other multi-membered bands usually do, however, EXO and their company decided to take a different approach.

April, 2015.

Through the twitter @PathcodeEXO, they released a new hint of the next featured member prior to the release of that day’s teaser. These hints allowed fans to actively participate in the promotion of the group, keeping EXO on their minds constantly as they tried to decipher the clues before the teaser was revealed. This “quiz” format of teaser releasing gave the group much more positive press and reception, contrasting the chronic negative comments regarding member departures the group has been going through over the past year. Fans had been commenting online stating things like, “My head’s about to explode trying to decipher the teaser,” and “Hope this album does well.”

Keep your head down and concentrate on what you’re doing If you do, there’s no limit to what you can accomplish! It is all about your relationships and what you can do to make them even better. A loved one needs your help , but might be too embarrassed to ask for it. You must offer a hand without making them feel bad about it.

Do your best not to judge anyone . It’s tempting, but it will almost assuredly come back to haunt you. Sharing is a problem, so it would be a good idea to bring your own food to a group gathering. You should be able to count on your closest friends for support, but a family member might surprise you with his or her lack of compassion.
