According to a SM rep on 5th August, “UKnow and Max has prepared a performance just for SMTown Live. SHINee Key will also have a joint stage with BoA. And sisters So Nyeo Shi Dae Jessica and f(x) Krystal; together with So Nyeo Shi Dae SeoHyun and Super Junior KyuHyun will have duet performances.”

The male solo singers lined up for comeback this Autumn

The male solo singers have all gone missing in action.

This is the time when idol groups dominate the music scene. Even the male solo singers like Rain and Lee SeungHwan who released album and promoted earlier this year, it is visible that they are struggling against the domination of the idol singers.

This has something to do with the structure and how the Kpop industry works. We see how the lifetime of songs in the market has been shortened recently. At the same time, there has been too much power going to the broadcast companies as well as the major label firms in the market. The major labels are also pushing more exciting and fun Kpop content at a faster rate into the market.
