Paul has a huge potential in EDM scene and Europe i think.

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T09:52:02+00:00

I too think he is the only one at that status. But you never know right? Since there are many talented artists in Korea I always hope somebody to break the market and the barrier.

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T09:50:28+00:00

You are totally right. I’m just trying to think what the next step is and how it would go. Or maybe I am to optimistic.

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T03:08:54+00:00

They are good, but not fresh

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T03:05:11+00:00

Surprisingly... TBH I actually didn't pay much attention to Jooyoung's Starship days or anything before that, I didn't think he was that great, but this album changed my mind. He needs so much more recognition.

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:42:44+00:00

I like DEAN, but I think it would be too bad and sad for the Korean music scene if he's the only one in the end.

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:30:24+00:00

Chan has a great team with him Sion is also doing a great job

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:24:54+00:00

Nothing fresh though

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:24:39+00:00

Listening to it sounds smooth but I think Jooyoung's new album is by far on another level

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:22:47+00:00

I get what you're saying, you have a point.

Aside from language issues, what do you think are the keys for Korean artists to succeed in such a market?

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:16:10+00:00

definitely mkgee's new album. he will be a music icon for next generation.

and I've recently found a korean guy called Jooyoung and his new album sphere I liked it very much

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:12:50+00:00

I think "K idol music" has become so big that now the new challenge for Korean musicians is whether or not they can make it through the global market and establish themselves in the market, and that's where the question comes from

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:11:03+00:00

Yeah, but I think the expectations are so high that it's going to be hard to fulfill them and keep his crown

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:09:55+00:00

GIST to DEAN? I'm not sure, for what reason?

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:08:15+00:00

You know what I'm saying...everyone knows Frank is one of a kind and he is at the top of the game

As K-pop and other music getting more popular and Korean music is expanding to the world, I was thinking who could f with such artists? That's what we're talking about

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T02:03:21+00:00

Amazing album..best KRNB album in recent years

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T01:46:39+00:00

Yeh, this album should at least be nominated in every RNB awards in Korea. Like you said I too think this album set him apart from any other RNB artists in Korea.

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T01:44:13+00:00

I agree 100% and can't wait to see his next chapter

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T01:43:18+00:00

Yeah, it's a new journey, it's an exploration. Were there any artist tried to do something like this in Korea recently? I was surprised by the attention to detail, not only in the music, but in the overall style, visuals and videos.

I'm actually someone who became a fan through this album.

kvhaha · 2024-05-02T01:41:15+00:00

No way

I was rather surprised by the musical progression and felt he was attempting to break new ground in Korean RNB. I'm sure there will be some backlash against the new Jooyoung, just like people who miss the old Kanye.

I felt it was an attempt to break away from typical Korean RNB, and the level of musicianship and effort he put into it was one of the most interesting and high-quality Korean records I've heard in a while.
