Check out Kang Seung Yoon's new rockin' image teaser for "Wild and Young"

 

Kang Seung Yoon made his long-awaited debut with "It Rains" of his upcoming mini-album a short while ago and is now gearing up for the release of his single "Wild and Young" with the release of the above image teaser.

 

 

"It Rains" managed to secure an all-kill on music charts so expectations are even higher for his next single. Particularly since "Wild and Young" is his title track and will come with a music video and full promotions.

 

Kang Seung Yoon seems to be keeping with his rock roots in frayed jeans and a plaid shirt. Plus, he definitely has a confident smolder in his eyes, which should serve him well as a soloist.

 

What do you think of this first teaser?

[Exclusive] Yang Hyun Suk edits KANG SEUNG YOON’s music video by himself – for the second time in YG

[OSEN=황미현 기ìž] The entertainment community is paying much attention to KANG SEUNG YOON as YG Entertainment CEO Yang Hyun Suk is actively engaged in supervising the production of a music video of KANG SEUNG YOON, who will soon make a debut.

 

This makes KANG SEUNG YOON the second YG artist whose music video has been edited by Yang himself. The song is the third to be edited by Yang following PSY’s GANGNAM STYLE and GENTLEMAN. This clearly indicates Yang’s passion toward and care for the YG’s rookie star.

 

According to what an YG member said on 28th, Yang is focusing all his efforts on editing the music video for KANG SEUNG YOON’s debut, which will be released in three days. It is now well-known that Yang has made enormous contribution to the music videos of PSY’s mega-hit songs, GANGNAM STYLE and GENTLEMAN. This time again, he is leading the overall production of a music video, from planning to editing.

 

Yang became involved in the editing of the WILD AND YOUNG music video after watching the video directed by Han Sa Min. Yang then requested an additional shooting, saying that “Something is missing.â€

 

There was an additional shooting for KANG SEUNG YOON two days ago, where CEO Yang appeared to confirm the details.

 

The YG source said, “The release of the new song of KANG SEUNG YOON is just three days away, and Yang is editing the music video by himself.â€

 

It is quite unusual for a CEO of an entertainment company to edit a rookie’s music video. Having said that, the head of YG has already put in a large amount of capital and passion into producing music videos of YG artists such as BIGBANG, 2NE1, and LEE HI, making them a cornerstone of YG’s SNS-based global strategy.

 

Such efforts are bearing fruit as the music video of GANGNAM STYLE, for which PSY and Yang stayed up all night, became a huge success with 1.7 billion views on YouTube.

 

Yang has been supervising the mixing of all the songs released by YG since the release of the first album of JINUSEAN in 1997. In other words, not a single YG song has been produced without Yang’s supervision over the last 15 years. YG staff members all know that Yang has revised and confirmed details of songs after their mixing in the United States.

 

Some even say that “PSY has joined YG partly because of Yang’s mixing skills.†Mixing is the most important process that determines the sounds of music, and CEO Yang manages and monitors the mixing of every YG song.

 

During a previous interview with OSEN, Yang said, “Creating a world-class sound is essential to produce a music that appeals to people all around the world. The most basic process that determines a sound is mixing,†He also added, “What I do with all my heart at YG as the chief producer is to supervise the mixing of every YG song.â€

 

KANG SEUNG YOON’s brand-new song, for which Yang has also made great efforts, will be released on 31st, and the rookie singer will make his debut next month on SBS’s The Music Trend (also known as Inkigayo).

Why did Kang Seung Yoon once regret joining YG Entertainment?

 

Kang Seung Yoon honestly confessed that there was once a moment when he regretted joining YG Entertainment.

 

On the August 6th broadcast of MBC FM4U's 'Songs of Hope at Noon Kim Shin Young', Kang Seung Yoon shared during the speed question game that there was once a time when he wondered if he made the right decision.

 

SEE ALSO: Kang Seung Yoon enjoys nature and friends in BTS film for 'Wild and Young'

 

The rookie quickly explained, "During the early stage of my training, I couldn't dance well so it was hard for me to go through dance practice. Because I had dreamed of becoming a rocker, I experienced some confusion about my identity. However besides that time, I've been satisfied with everything else," assuring fans that he's quite happy to call YGE his home. 

 

Like his fellow new YGE artists, Kang Seung Yoon also answered the customary question of whom he considers the most scary in the agency. His answer may or may not surprise fans as he picked none other than Seungri of Big Bang! "I am most scared of Seungri. He comes up to hoobaes first and gives them a lot of advice. He tells me to work hard but he jokes around a lot too...Tablo is especially a sunbaenim whom I respect, and he gives me a lot of advice on my music. He treats me the best in the agency."

 

It seems like Kang Seung Yoon never expected himself to be dancing on stage as part of an idol group either like many fans. However, thanks to his solo promotions in addition to his upcoming promotions as part of one of the new boy groups, it seems we'll get the best of both worlds as we see his various sides.

 

Make sure to check out his dance practice session with his fellow group members in the previously released video here, if you haven't done so yet!

"I once regretted choosing YG. During the beginning of my trainee days, I had a hard time with dance practices because I couldn't dance. I dreamt of becoming a rocker so I felt at a loss with my identity. Other than that, I'm satisfied with everything else.

Seungri is the scariest. He gives a lot of advice to the juniors and tells us the work hard. He also jokes around a lot. I especially look up to Tablo and he gives me a lot of musical advice. He treats me the best in the agency."

1. [+186, -21] Seungri is nothing himself but he seems to be harsh on the juniors... when he's nothing in Big Bang but an extra member.

2. [+171, -20] Seungri ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ How about you worry about yourself ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ What's the least popular member in Big Bang doing giving advice

3. [+104, -9] If you're scared of Seungri, you should try strangling him... He'll like that

4. [+19, -4] I bet he still regrets it.. He doesn't match them musically

5. [+14, -2] Seungri has earned way too much compared to what he's actually capable of ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

6. [+14, -1] If you wanted to do rock, you shouldn't have chosen an idol agency ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

Kang Seung-yoon is “Wild and Youngâ€

 

 

Wouldn’t you know it, YG was late at releasing the “Wild and Young†MV, but hey, at least there was a pre-release single, “It Rains.â€

Kang Seung-yoon has recently released his first MV, “Wild and Young.†For those not in the know, back in 2010 he was a contestant in Superstar K2 where he finished in 4th place. A couple of months later, he signed on to YG who released a statement saying that he would be debuting in a group sometime in 2012.

 

2012 came and went — no boy group debut.

 

That has recently changed with YG releasing news that there would be a reality program, WIN, which would feature two competing trainee groups to debut as YG’s newest boy group, WINNER. Kang Seung-yoon is part of Team A (along with Lee Seung-yoon of K-pop Star 2) and YG has recently released a video of Team A dancing to I.aM.mE’s choreography.

 

While July has come and went without any mention of the promised reality program, YG has released Kang Seung-yoon’s debut MV, the first of three singles for his mini-album.

 

Let’s start it off with the positives of “Wild and Young.†It was youthful, but not the aegyo youthful we often see in K-pop. There was nice use of scenery which was appropriate for the time of the year. Furthermore, the youthful feel of the MV was in line with the youthful theme of the song. It is a rock song and is all about the rush and adrenaline one feels when one falls in love. An especially memorable part is when he sings the pre-chorus and the last portion of the song — his voice sounds absolutely perfect.

 

The MV has scenes of Kang Seung-yoon and friends on a joyride, at a campfire by the beach, riding bicycles and skateboards and the like. A further plus is that there are actual females in the MV and Kang Seung-Yoon is having some interaction with one: from his arm slung over her shoulder, playing bubbles with her and just sitting next to her.

 

Considering he is part of the 94-line, it was very fitting  that the MV was tied in together with the central theme of young love and being spontaneous.

 

 

 

What about the negatives though? While it is overall a very nice MV, it isn’t particularly memorable considering it is his debut MV. The scenery was great and the way the scenes of him rocking out were interwoven with everything else was seamless. It checks off all the boxes one looks for in a great MV — cinematography, fashion, the correlation of the lyrics and the MV. The problem is there is a certain je ne sais quoi missing in the MV.

 

And this problem is not only in the MV but also in the song. This was not a song worth waiting three years for. After three years of training, his technique may have improved slightly, but the song is still of the same level as what he has done in Superstar K2.

This is disappointing especially after “It Rains,†which I feel had the potential for a great MV. It was a song that was memorable, evoked an emotional reaction from listeners and made the perfect use of his voice. With “Wild and Young,†it sounds as if he was straining at certain lines, though I am perfectly aware it is a technique commonly used in rock songs. After “It Rains,†“Wild and Young†sounded as if it was a song cut from the Shut Up Flower Boy Band OST.

 

He may deserve a better song but he still rocked his live stage. I would personally prefer to watch his

for the je ne sais quoi missing in the MV is definitely more present in his live performances. Nonetheless, the youthful MV was still a good watch with a song perfect for summertime road trips to match it. Kang Seung-yoon’s “Wild and Young†MV earns a 3.2/5.

Newly born KANG SEUNG YOON becomes a Hip Hop warrior for the new group, steering away from the used-to-be clumsy dancer

 

[OSEN=ì†ë‚¨ì› 기ìž] KANG SEUNG YOON, since becoming an adult, cried twice. First was when he was so overwhelmed on the last day of filming High Kick 3, the popular sitcom that help him rise to stardom. Second was when he became a trainee at YG Entertainment, surrounded by other trainees who were simply phenomenal dancers. The tears were from him feeling left behind.

 

That clumsy dancer KANG SEUNG YOON returns as a hip-hop warrior soon. In the YG-held audition of new groups, KANG SEUNG YOON gives a dance battle a go. So what does this newly born artist look like now?

 

YG, for the first time on August 2, revealed video clip of its first new boy group in 7 years since BIGBANG’s debut. In the video clip, KANG SEUNG YOON, the ex-contestant of Super Star K who made a remarkable debut this summer, and LEE SEUNG HOON, SBS’s K-Pop Star’s clown, practice a dance move together. They are part of Group A.

 

The news of the two being paired up for YG’s new boy group audition spread fast in the music world. KANG SEUNG YOON in particular is arousing much interest with his powerful dance moves because he was known for his clumsy dance skills.

 

YG’s CEO, YANG HYUN SUK, once mentioned in FROM YG at the end of June, “Have you ever imagined KANG SEUNG YOON with perfect dance moves? Have you ever imagined him dancing along a powerful hip-hop beat with other team members?†His comment on the artist in veil for 3 years heightened the excitement for the awaiting fans.

 

CEO YANG also announced his plans to have a battle on a real survival program dubbed ‘WIN’ among “YG’s long-time trainee boys who are divided into Groups A and Bâ€. The teaser video clip of Group A that was released shows the process of the survival program.

 

 

In an interview, KANG SEUNG YOON once said that he cried because he felt extremely left behind among his peers who were amazingly great dancers. He recalled, “right after we started dance practice I felt this wall standing high over me. I was so stressed I went back to the dorm and cried on the balcony looking at the sky.â€

 

“I never learned how to dance. I learned a bit about television dance for an audition program, but I had no knowledge of what I had to do. And since my coach wanted me to improve quickly, he talked me down in front of everyone with an intention to make me improve quickly. After all the harsh comment I would go back to the room and cry. That went on for days.â€

 

But he weathered such hardship and fear with consistent practice. “When I look at my coach dance, I can understand it with my head but my body wouldn’t follow. My pride was deeply hurt and I felt small. But amazingly, what I did actually started to pay off. After 5 months of training my coach acknowledged my skills and I was over the moon.â€

 

In fact the video of YG’s new group practicing dance moves reveals KANG SEUNG YOON’s surprisingly improved dance skills, which aroused much excitement among the fans. All eyes are on the newly born artist to see how his newly embellished dance skills will lead to a success story.
