Article: Gary touches on the issues of sajaegi and 'splitting'

 

Source: Star News via Naver

 

('Shipapa' lyrics) "This god damned industry is all committing sajaegi, not that I knew / I'm outdated like that, I won't live like that / I'll be on TV but I'm not going to suck up to the producers behind it"

 

('Doongdoong' lyrics) "Hundreds of songs come out every day like snot / I pour my sweat into my songs without a care for the charts / Everyone and their mothers win #1 on these charts, like carts in the marts / Everyone can get a title track"

1. [+1,220, -107] By splitting, he's probably talking about Big Bang, and by issue, it's probably Mnet, so who's the sajaegi~~~

 

2. [+934, -23] Everyone's denying sajaegi so who is it

 

3. [+911, -18] Whoever ends up getting caught in all of this for sajaegi can say goodbye to their career

 

4. [+863, -12] I wonder who did the sajaegi then...? I wish the names would just be revealed

 

5. [+660, -50] I really liek Gary's songs ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

 

6. [+295, -90] Sajaegi news is coming up every day... isn't iKON the most suspicious??.. The public doesn't even know the member names or how many members they even have... and they won #1 on top of hitting the roof without even a debut or a stage... and they're #1 every day... ridiculous;;;;;;; there's no explanation for it other than sajaegi

 

7. [+226, -53] Any rookie idol group getting their debut song in the top 50 without even being on broadcast once is 100% sajaegi

 

8. [+180, -50] The reason 'splitting' is a problem is because while other singers take months to invest in an album with 10 songs, they use one of them as a title track. Doesn't matter how good the other songs are, the public won't care about it because their promos end with the title track. They have no choice but to forget about the other ones. But when groups 'split' their albums, they put out songs that would normally be B-side tracks and label them as title tracks and use their name value to win #1. Look at Big Bang... they put out an album with barely six songs and milked it for six months by splitting it while other singers couldn't do anything for those six months. The digital market should be shared.

 

9. [+187, -64] SM's definitely not doing sajaegi... Super Junior came out two months ago and their song was kicked out of the top 100 immediately... SM has such low digital rankings compared to physical album sales so no way would they be involved in sajaegiã…‹

 

10. [+150, -56] Song splitting = Big Bang ã…Žã…Ž a jab at YG

 

11. [+67, -7] The #1 most suspected is probably SISTAR

 

12. [+75, -7] I think the sajaegi issue will just end up with companies blaming it on the fans... it's obvious, they're just hiding it.

 

13. [+105, -54] Big Bang fans are right, the group has a big fandom and they're strong digitally. It's not something that every group can pull off. However, do they even have a reason to be splitting their sos like that? It's not like their songs were of different genres or different feels, they were similar songs that didn't need to be split out like that. And honestly, it just seems like a marketing scheme. It's annoying to see a group of Big Bang's status resorting to petty tactics like this to dominate the charts. And it's also rude to the other singers as well.

i'm personally ok with him addressing these issues, especially with him being a successful established artist.

for selfish reasons i wish he and gil do (more) music tv performances tho since those are my only access to them, but i understand why they chose not to.

agree, I think he is coming from the producer/song writter stand point.. He knows well too much how hard it is to composed and create music and there's too many good music getting almost zero recognition due to this sajaegi and other tactics..

yeah it's hard enough for newbie artists to breakthrough with the market as over-saturated as it is, now they have to compete with sajaegi also. the lyrics definitely showed how concerned he was with the current k-music industry. i'm glad he refused to compromise when it comes to his music.

i wish he drops a name of the sajaegi culprits though lol :hurr:

nah, he is too kind for those kind of antics  :lol:

I really like the fact that Gary decided to keep the notepads and the headgear. so many meaningful moments behind those items....    the show's new format has a lot of premise, its just  it takes a long time before getting to the talk show part..

i just watched it, gary is <3 as always. i do agree with the bolded, the opening part felt a tad draggy but hopefully they'll adjust it.

it's quite surprising to hear that gary moved house every 2 years :omg:

yes its quite a surprise since leessang owns a building and yet he leases his house from time to time.... 

 

I would love to have some of those shirts that he is giving away tho... but since those are going to the people that needs it, it's all good  :lol:   

 

that rotten apple and expired pear extract tho.. LOL

yea i can't believe the hassle of having to move every 2 years >.<;;

the black monalisa tshirt is my favorite, and there were a few of them. can't i have one ;A;

omg i was kinda grossed out when hyunmoo drank the expired extract, i can't believe he drank it :lol:

whats worse is that he convinced seho to drink one also LOL and yes, that black monalisa shirt with a gary doodle in the middle could have been sold for a hefty price outside of sk...

Gary's "Get Some Air" is nominated for Best Rap Performance on MAMA 2015

is there a possibility of him attending/performing? nah? :rlytearpls:

I doubt it, since Leessang in general rarely attends this kind of awards thingy. Maybe if they invite him to be a presenter or something.. But still very proud of this dude  :ahmagah:  :ahmagah:

yeah i also doubt he'll attend. he's leading the public vote for his  category though lol, it'll be funny if he wins but didn't attend xD

 

that's a very green room :hurr:

yeah, I just voted in the MAMA page and he is leading on he rap category, maybe if it is a sure win for him he'll get an invite.. or maybe just do the speech via video message. :lol:  :lol:
