We all love a K-pop bop that appeals to various musical tastes and dominates the charts. Many of these hit songs are the fruits of labor of very talented idols who write their own music, be it for a solo, a collaborative work, or for their groups.

Now, I’m sure that it has crossed your minds, at least once, to write a K-pop song. Although it won’t be a complete product per se, this quiz is going to let you live a similar experience as we walk you through a simplified process to write your own song. Take our quiz and let us know which idol songwriter you are!

On the November 22 episode of SBS’s “I Will Win You Over With My Channel,” BIGBANG’s Seungri and AOA’s Seolhyun met for the first time.

AOA’s Seolhyun and Chanmi were the guests on the show, and Kang Ho Dong commented, “This is the first time AOA and Seungri have met.”

Seungri said that there were plenty of times when they were both promoting at the same time, but that they’ve never met face-to-face. When Yang Se Hyung teased Seungri that AOA must have avoided him, Seolhyun said, “It’s not that. It’s because he’s such a senior in the industry that we’ve never had the opportunity.”

Seungri, jokingly showing just how senior he is, asked Seolhyun how the CEO of her agency is doing.

Seolhyun added that she often goes to Seungri’s ramen restaurant, and he responded, “Can you say that a little bit louder?”

Seungri talked about his deep affection for his fellow BIGBANG members while discussing what matters most in life.

He spoke at the “Youth Arena 2018 Seoul” event that took place on November 17 at the Gocheok Sky Dome. The tagline of the event was, “The Last Festival,” and looking at it, Seungri began reminiscing about his days with the other members of BIGBANG as he said it reminded him of their song “Last Dance.”

Seungri said, “For us, ‘Last Dance’ represents memories. We released the song in the hopes that people would remember the last dance we all shared together.” He then went on to say, “If you found out that tomorrow is going to be your last day, how should you live today? Personally, I think the only things you’re left with in life are your memories. What really matters isn’t becoming famous or making lots of money. What really stays with you no matter what is how you lived your life with the precious people who love you.”

He smiled and said, “It’s almost reaching a year since I began solo activities since they left for the army, and soon they’ll come back and they’ll be promoting without me. And that does scare me a little.”

Seungri also teased that he’s going to be diving into the world of YouTube content creation as he said, “I’m going to be running a YouTube channel soon, so if you have any good ideas, feel free to DM me on Instagram.”
