[INTERVIEW] 12.05.07 EXO K on Daily Focus

 

SM menampilkan boygroup 4 tahun setelah ‘SHINee’

Member-member bertalenta ini semuanya memasuki ‘jalur penyanyi’ sejak sekolah dasar

Empat tahun setelah ‘SHINee’, SM Entertainment, tempat lahirnya grup-grup idola, hanya perlu berbicara sebuah boygroup untuk mendapat perhatian. Setelah membuat isu yang sangat besar, sebenarnya mereka bisa saja muncul secara langsung tetapi mereka malah menunjukan diri mereka perlahan-lahan selama 100 hari dan membiarkan orang-orang tahu bahwa sebuah grup pemula yang besar akan datang. Penantian 100 hari itu sangat layak.

Segera setelah mereka muncul, ketertarikan fans langsung meledak-ledak. Kehadiran mereka disambut tidak hanya di Korea, tetapi seluruh dunia. Grup EXO-K telah memasukin dunia penyanyi dengan album debut ‘MAMA’ dan mereka tengah bersiap-siap untuk dapat mencapai ke puncak.

“Dengan ‘EXO-M’ yang promosi di Cina, saat ini dibutuhkan bagi kami untuk menunjukan pesona dan penampilan kami berduabelas. Karena kami sudah memasuki countdown 100 hari, kami mampu untuk tegar berpikir ‘Kami tidak akan mengecewakan mereka’.”

EXO-K datang dari kata EXOPLANET yaitu planet diluar tata surya kita. Grup kembaran mereka EXO-M fokus berpromosi di Cina dengan versi Cina musik yang sama. Grup yang istimewa ini juga berpromosi dan seperti yang diduga, setiap member memiliki kekuatan super yang spesial.

Kai memiliki lencana di dadanya yang dapat membuatnya teleportasi, D.O mempunyai cincin yang memiliki kekuatan seperti binatang, Chanyeol memakan cincin yang dapat memberikannya kekuatan api. Sehun memiliki sabuk yang dapat mengeluarkan kekuatan angin, Suho memiliki kekuatan air dan Baekhyun memiliki kemampuan cahaya.

Kalau kalian menonton musik video kami ‘MAMA’, kamu menunjukan kekuatan super kami dengan jelas. Ini memang terdengar kekanak-kanakan pertamanya tetapi kalau kalian menontonnya dengan jelas, itu benar-benar terlihat keren.”

Lagu ‘MAMA’ memperlihatkan esensi dari SMP (SM Performance). Ini menyeimbangkan tekanan orkestra kepada penampilan yang tangguh.

“MAMA membicarakan tentang ketidakpedulian masyarakat abad 21 yang terjebak oleh perangkat digital seperti handphone, komputer, dan lain-lain dan tidak berkomunikasi. Kami bertanya pada Tuhan, kami memanggil ‘MAMA’ siapa itu Bumi,  ibu dari segala manusia, apa yang harus kita lakukan pada dunia ini.”


Senior seperti ‘DBSK’ ‘Super Junior’ ‘SHINee’ yang memimpin Hallyu wave dan kegilaan K-POP sangatlah murah hati memberikan nasihat kepada junior-junior mereka ini.

“Meskipun ia sedang tur ke luar negri, senior U-Know Yunho menyaksikan siaran pertama kami dan segera menghubungi kami. Melalui speaker telepon, ia menunjukan area-area kelemahan setiap member kami.

Karena promosi kami tumpang-tindih dengan senior ‘SHINee’, mereka memberikan kami banyak bantuan.”

Semua member EXO-K ditentukan lebih awal untuk mengikuti ‘jalan sebagai penyanyi’, dimulai dari tahun ke-6 sekolah dasar. Periode training terpendek adalah satu tahun tetapi Baekhyun meningkatkan keragaman musikalnya dengan memiliki band di sekolah, leader Suho mendapat periode training paling lama diantara mereka, ia training selama 7 tahun dan mengasah kemampuannya di SM. Untuk member lain seperti Sehun dan Kai, mereka di cast dari jalanan ketika mereka masih di tahun ke-6 sekolah dasar jadi mereka sudah berada di bidikan SM ketika mereka audisi di tahun ke-2 sekolah menengah.

“Setelah membentuk tim EXO, kami bersiap-siap selama 1 tahun. Dengan debut tahun ini, meski hanya berdiri di panggung yang sama dengan senior-senior yang kami sukai, itu terasa sangat luar biasa. Kami ingin bekerja keras juga untuk memenangkan penghargaan rookie.”

SM showing a boygroup 4 years after ‘SHINee’

The talented members all entered the ‘singer’s path’ since elementary school

Four years after ‘SHINee’ SM Entertainment, the cradle of idol groups, only had to talk about a boygroup to catch the attention. After making a broadscale issue, they could have just appeared at once but they showed themselves little by little during 100 days and let know that huge rookies were coming. The 100 days of wait was worth it.

As soon as they appeared the fans’ interest exploded. Their appearance has been welcomed not only by Korea but by the whole world. The group ‘EXO-K’ entered the singers’ world with their debut album ‘MAMA’ and they’re getting ready to reach the top.

“With ‘EXO-M’ who’s promoting in China, this time was needed for us to show enough of us twelve’s charms and performance. As we entered the 100 days countdown, we could toughen up while thinking ‘We won’t disappoint them’.”

EXO-K comes from the word EXOPLANET which is a planet outside of our solar system. Their twin group EXO-M is focusing on promoting in China with the Chinese version of the same music. This peculiar group is promoting and as expected from them, each member has a special superpower.Kai has a badge on his chest that permits him to teleport, D.O has a ring that has a beast’s strength, Chanyeol wears a ring that gives him the fire’s power. Sehun has a belt with the wind’s power coming out from it, Suho has the water’s power and Baekhyun has the light’s ability.
 “If you watch our title song ‘MAMA”s music video, we’re showing our superpowers well. It can sound childish at first but if you watch it, it’s really cool.”

The title song ‘MAMA’ shows us the SMP’s (SM Performance) essence. It’s balancing an imposing orchestra to a strong performance.

“It’s talking about the heartlessness of the 21st century’s society that’s trapped in digital devices such as cellphones, computer, etc and doesn’t communicate. We’re asking to a god we call ‘MAMA’ who’s the Earth, the mother of the human beings, what do we have to do with this world.”

Seniors such as ‘DBSK’ ‘Super Junior’ ‘SHINee’ who are leading the Hallyu wave and the K-POP craze were generous in advices to their first juniors after a long time.“Even if he was on an overseas tour, U-Know Yunho senior watched our first broadcast and immediately called us. On speaker phone, he pointed out the lacking areas to each of our members. Since our promotions were overlapping ‘SHINee’ seniors’, they gave us a lot of help.”
  They all got determined early to follow the ‘singer’s path’, starting from 6th year of elementary school. The shortest training period was one year but Baekhyun increased his musical diversity by playing in a school band, the leader Suho got the longest training period among them, he trained for 7 years and polished his skills at SM. As for the other members like Sehun and Kai, they got casted in the street during their 6th year of elementary school so they were already in SM’s sights when they auditioned after that in 2nd year of middle school.

“After forming the EXO team, we prepared for 1 year. By debuting this year, even by only standing on the same stage as the seniors we are looking up to is overwhelming. We want to work hard to win the rookie award too.”
