[NEWS+VID] Se7en talks about T.O.P and Rain on Wide Entertainment

2012-02-10T22:41:00.000+07:00

Se7en has been making his promotional rounds on various music programs since his successful return to the music scene with the Park Jin Young-produced single When I Can′t Sing, and no topic was off limits when he recently sat down with Mnet’s Wide Entertainment News.

The singer appeared on the February 9 broadcast of the show ahead of his M Countdown comeback on the same day where he revealed which YG artist he thought was the most handsome and talked about his relationship with singer Rain.

When asked whom he considered to be the most handsome artist in his agency, Se7en responded, “I personally like the way I look. I personally like my face.”

However, in the end, he decided to give first place to T.O.P, citing the Big Bang rapper’s “charismatic gaze” as one of his reasons.

The MCs then caught the singer off guard when they asked him if thought he thinks he’s doing better than singer Rain. Se7en revealed, however, that he remains close to the singer, who is currently dutifully completing his mandatory military service.

[NEWS] Se7en talks about T.O.P and thinks J.Y. Park is adorable?

2012-02-09T21:48:00.001+07:00

Singer Se7en who recently released a new song produced by J.Y Park sat down to conduct an interview with SBS TV‘s ‘Midnight TV Entertainment‘.

On the episode that aired on February 8th, Se7en, who has made a comeback for the first time in a year and six months revealed the true personality of Big Bang‘s T.O.P.

“When T.O.P comes out on TV, he looks extremely fierce and charismatic,” he said. “But behind the scenes, he has so much aegyo.”

Further in the interview he shared his thoughts on producer J.Y. Park. “J.Y. Park is 12 years older than I am so I don’t know if I’m allowed to say things like this, but, he is really adorable,” he said.

“When I’m in the recording booth recording the song, for the whole three minutes the song is being played, he is full of emotion and gets really into the music,” he said, as he hilariously emulated the gestures that J.Y. Park apparently makes while recording.

“At first I couldn’t get used to him acting like that so I used to close the curtains,” he continued. “But I’m so thankful that he gave me this song.”

“This is a song that was reserved for Son Ho Young, one of J.Y. Park’s beloved disciples,” Se7en also revealed. “But he was unable to take it, and J.Y. Park was saving it so he could sing it himself, but I told him I wanted it.”

In related news, Se7en’s new song “When I Can’t Sing” is drawing attention for harmonizing J.Y. Park’s unique musical style with Se7en’s sensuous vocals.

[NEWS] Interview: Se7en Answers Seven Questions!

2012-02-07T19:45:00.000+07:00

“JYP is just as hard to please.”

YG artist, Se7en, has held hands with JYP for his recent comeback. The result? Sizzling. His new song, “When I Can’t Sing,” has debuted in first place in various music charts. Seoul Newspaper asked Se7en, seven questions.

Q1. How did you come to work with JYP?

A: I really liked it (the song)!

Since long ago, (Park) Jin Young hyung and I am very close, so as a joke we always said, “lets work together.” A while ago, I had a chance to see him again with Yang (Hyun Suk) CEO and (Park Jin Young) played this song for us to listen. After hearing that it has been made a year ago, I thought, “I really like it and want to sing this song.” After choosing the title song, I started working on my album.

Q2. What is the difference between YG and JYP?

A: YG is more about skill and feel and JYP is about being genuine.

YG tends to look at the "feel" of a person. He puts importance on hidden skills, talents and the feel of a person. On the other hand, JYP puts more importance on being genuine and honest. It appears that he hates phoniness. Even while recording, “When I Can’t Sing” he kept repeating, “I don’t care if you don’t sing it well, I just want you to sing it sincerely.”

Q3. Recently many of your juniors are entering the American market. Does it make you want to go back to America and give it another chance?

A: Not really…

Of course, if I were given a good opportunity, I would go. But currently, I don’t feel too big on giving it another chance. At this time, I need to work on the domestic market and I want to invest a couple of years here so I don’t think I can go (to America). Even though my American debut wasn’t successful, personally it was a very important period for me. How many domestic singers can say they were given the chance to work in America? It was a great and fortunate period in life for me.

Q4. How do you feel about Girls Generation debut in America?

A: Being able to go on “The Late Show With David Letterman” was truly great!

I was really surprised. Being able to go on “The Late Show With David Letterman” is an accomplishment in itself. Girls Generation were great, but I think the popularity of K-POP is astonishing too. It is more than I imagined. (Laughing) I don’t think the articles (in Korea) truly understood the greatness in being able to appear as a guest on “The Late Show With David Letterman.” They (the articles) came out like it wasn’t a big deal.

Q5. If there were audition programs around the time you debuted, do you think you would have taken part in one (as a contestant)?

A: I don’t think I would have given them much thought…

I don’t think I would have tried out. When I was younger, I wasn’t interested in many things. I am not the type to go out looking for things. And I also don’t like to go out to places with a lot of people. But I really enjoy watching SBS “KPOP Star.” Lee Hayi, Park Ji Min, and Lee Michelle have caught my attention. I feel like they sing better than some of the singers who have already debuted.

Q6. It has already become 10 years since your debut. What do you think Se7en will be doing 10 years from now?

A: Still dancing and singing!

I think I will still be singing. At that age, I may not be able to dance as well but I will definitely be a better singer. Just like my seniors Jo Yong Pil and InSooni. Of course I still want to dance even as I get older. I was jealous of Michael Jackson who was able to continue on with his unchanging stage performance well into his forties. If I could be like that, I would not be happier.

Q7. Do you have any marriage plans with the person you’ve dated for so long?

A: Nope… No comment!

Currently, I have no plans on getting married. Anything more is no comment. (Laughter)

[NEWS] Se7en, "I am proud of Big Bang and 2NE1, Who are My Stimulation"

2012-02-06T22:01:00.001+07:00

Se7en is proud of the groups which can represent the Republic of Korea, Big Bang and 2NE1. He also regards them as his stimulation and in this interview, his special affection towards these groups is shown.

Enews has recently conducted an interview with Se7en, he said,' the development of Big Bang and 2NE1 is good, they are the groups that I like very much. I am really proud of these friends. As one of the representative singers of YG Entertainment, Se7en is a witness of the growth of his juniors, Big Bang and 2NE1.

He continued, 'in fact, I am glad that Big Bang and 2NE1 are my juniors and I like them. I always bear them in mind. If my favourite brothers and sisters came back but something bad happens to them, I will be very sad. I hope more good things can happen to them. Now, these friends have climbed to the top spots of the showbiz. Thanks for this, I always prepare myself well because I need to work harder in order to show that I am a great brother to them.'

He concluded, 'it can be said that I failed in doing my activities in America; however, it was also an opportunity for me to learn how to be self-independent and responsible. I have become more matured during this period of time so now, I am a little bit more proud when being with my juniors. For Big Bang and 2NE1, it seems that I am their hyun.'

Meanwhile, Se7en has come back with the title song, 'When I Can't Sing' written by Park Jin Young (composed the lyrics and melody) and has started his promotional activities again. The song has topped various music charts and gained popularity shortly after it has been released.

[NEWS] Se7en shares several BTS shots from ‘Dazed & Confused’ photoshoot

2012-02-06T21:55:00.000+07:00

Se7en kicked off his comeback promotions last week through music programs, and now he’s ready to do the same with magazine pictorials.

On February 6th, the singer updated his me2day with a series of photos from his ‘Dazed & Confused‘ magazine shoot.

“DAZED magazine pictorial photoshoot!!! 9 unique concepts~!!! I really like how the pictures came out!!! March issue!! Please look forward to it!” he wrote.

Se7en looks quite tanned in his photos, and he’s even put on some bright pink eyeshadow and metallic lipstick. It looks like he could be going for a ‘summer-themed’ look, but at this point, it’s anyone’s guess.

What do you think Se7en’s pictorial concept could be?

[NEWS] Interview: Se7en Wants to be an Eternal Singer

2012-02-04T22:19:00.001+07:00

It seemed like he would always be a boy, but already the last of his 20s are slipping by, and the 10 years he’s been in the business have made him a laidback and confident man. And now, the story of the years that changed Se7en has been wrapped up into his second mini album for all of us to hear.

Se7en said that the story was a good one, and that’s he′s happy with who he’s become. Enews met with Se7en to hear why on February 2 at the YG Entertainment building.

Se7en, who greeted us with the same old smile, collaborated with Park Jin Young, the head of his agency’s rival JYP Entertainment, for his new album. His first single cut When I Can’t Sing was written and composed by Park.

Their collaboration was enough to bring the song the spotlight even before its release, and the song has been staying on the tops of various music charts since its release on February 1.

And so Se7en announced his first comeback in a year and a half with a bang.

“I was watching the music charts and I felt great. I’m thankful that everyone didn’t forget about me even though I wasn’t active for a long time.”

Se7en said that he had learned popularity is a fickle thing over the course of his long career, but he still didn’t hide how happy he was about the explosive reactions, or forget to express his thanks.

Se7en said that he knew the song would be successful as soon as he heard it.

“Jin Young hyung kept joking that we should work together on a project someday, and in 2011, it actually became possible. The two of us met with [Yang] Hyun Suk hyung to hear the song. [Park Jin Young said] he had been keeping the song, and as soon as I heard it I loved its feel so I immediately told him I wanted to sing it.”

Se7en’s new album had mostly finished settling its track list, but Se7en brought in Park’s song, crowned it as the main single and started work on it. The finished track in the album is different from the one he first heard, but Se7en said he learned why Park emphasizes sincerity so much through their work.

“Everyone probably knows by now because of K-Pop Star, but CEO Yang Hyun Suk concentrates on impressions. He puts the charisma, talent and feelings the person shows onstage ahead of anything else. CEO Park Jin Young, however, always emphasizes sincerity. He hates anything insincere. I can’t say which style is better, YG or JYP, but CEO Park Jin Young definitely goes for sincerity. I learned what he meant by sincerity while I recorded this song.”

As if he had been almost brainwashed by the sincerity Park emphasized so much, Se7en kept using the word again and again himself.

His sincerity met with the easygoing attitude he picked up with the passage of time, and led Se7en to think that this album, which he worked on himself from start to finish for the first time, was his favorite and gave him the most personal pleasure.

His newfound attitude didn’t stop him from working hard though, because he wanted to stand proud in front of not only the juniors from his agency Big Bang and 2NE1, but also the many other juniors he would see in the scene.

“I’ve walked a smooth road for the last 10 years. Some think I didn’t do too well in America, but personally, I have great memories about the time I spent there. I learned dance and song, and I learned independence and responsibility while I worked with my American friends,” said Se7en. “If I was a kid before I went to America, I became a more mature person after I came back. And so now, rather than cling to popularity, I want to be a confident and proud big brother for my juniors.”

And he, in return, is indeed proud of his juniors, as he couldn’t hide his surprise at the power of the Korean wave sweeping through the world. He said he saw Girls’ Generation on The Late Show with David Letterman, and was “really surprised.”

“Making an appearance on The Late Show itself is a great achievement. I wondered whether Girls’ Generation really was going to appear [on the show] after reading an article about it, but I caught the episode because someone was watching it at the practice room.”

He added, “Girls’ Generation is incredible, and [after watching the broadcast] I felt that Korea’s K-Pop is really exceeding expectations. I felt something deep down in my heart,” and emphasized, “It’s hard for even American singers to make it onto The Late Show; I was really surprised.”

But back to Se7en’s own experience in America.

When asked whether he didn’t feel any regrets about his own promotion in America, he answered, “I do think if I had been in a better environment, it would’ve been better for me. But I think that’s in the flow and the timing. I myself was able to win a bigger success because back when I debuted as a solo singer in 2003, solo singers were rare. So I don’t feel any regret about my venture to America. I’m sorry I can’t show what I achieved there to the public, but still the things I learned there and what I achieved led to this album, and made up who I am now.”

Se7en says he’s now the backbone of K-Pop, and dreams of becoming an eternal singer. His attitude toward his past career and his future to come had us looking forward to what future he would be facing another 10 or 20 years from now.

[NEWS] Se7en Interview: Transformation from a Boy into a Man

2012-02-03T19:00:00.000+07:00

(This article is a translation of Se7en’s interview with enews24)

It appeared that Se7en would always be a boy, however now he is nearing his thirties. He is a man who now has ease of mind and confidence.

Se7en started off by saying, “When I checked the music charts I was so happy. I am just thankful that people have not forgotten me, because it has been a long time since I returned to the music scene.”

Se7en stated that the moment he heard JYP’s song, he felt like it would do well.

“We talked about working together with JYP while eating dinner as a joke. However, JYP, YG, and I were together and heard the song, (When I Can’t Sing). JYP stated that it was a song that he was keeping because it was precious, the moment I heard it, it was so good I immediately said that I wanted to sing it.”

There was also a funny story behind receiving the song. Se7en said, “JYP said that he was going to sing it and said that he didn’t want to give it to me. Regardless, I kept nagging him to give me the song. I think I made the right decision. Haha.”

Se7en learned why JYP emphasizes honesty so much in music, while working with JYP.

Se7en stated, “Now through SBS K-Pop Star a lot of people know that YG puts on emphasis on a person’s feeling. He looks for charisma, talent, and feel. However, JYP always emphasizes honesty. It is hard to say which style is better, but through recording ‘When I Can’t Sing,’ I realized what he meant by honesty.”

He continued, “From the start of the album I did everything on my own. Perhaps that is why I feel a lot more attachment for this album.”

Se7en finished by describing what kind of singer he would like to be.

“The last 10 years went by without any big up and downs. Some people might say that ‘He didn’t make it in the U.S.’ but for me personally that was a good time. I got to learn singing and dancing and also learned more about individuality and responsibility. I was a boy before I left for the U.S. but when I returned I became more mature. That is why I want to focus on being a good and confident senior for my junior singers, rather than popularity.”

[News] Se7en: After 10 years filled with passion, only my true heart remains

2012-02-03T18:35:00.000+07:00

‘Even if I lose everything/Even if my popularity drops/Even if I can’t sing anymore/Even if I have another occupation/Just for the reason that I am me, can you continue to love me?’ (Se7en ‘When I can’t sing’ lyrics)

About 2 years passed. Rather than saying that it was a big dream, I got the answer was that he wanted to enjoy what he liked doing. Se7en is honest to himself. He says that if he likes something, he will say he likes it, and as long as he enjoys it then it’s ok. He had been living life to the max in this naturally.

Before he knew it, he was at the end of his twenties. Everything is filled with uncertainty. His new album is both his diary and a record of his imagination of his emotions of this last stage of his twenties. This time, Se7en uses the keyword ‘True heart’ as the centre of the stories he tells. They are traces of his thoughts and opinions over the past 10 years where he went through his prime up til the present.

‘It’s been a long time since I have performed in Korea so it feels good. In the past, I’ve received lots of help from Yang sajangnim (YG) and others. This time round because it’s an album which I made myself from beginning til the end, I am even more happy.’

This new song by Se7en which he has released after 1 year and 4 months has moved not only the hearts of listeners but also fellow singers. This is because the emotional melody which can even melt [hearts] in this cold winter and the sincere lyrics has connected with people who listened to the song.

Se7en wanted to show people the ‘real’ him. As a result, in order to draw the emotions that he felt as much as possible, the many people who took part in the album emphasised ‘naturalness’. Only when one can’t sing can the emotions of the song be brought out and JYP worked hard at drawing the ‘true heart’ of Se7en by emphasising emotion.

Although JYP and Se7en collaborating created a big issue, the song was made to match Se7en. Instead of extravagant choreography and clothing, he used song to express the words that he wanted to say the most in the situation that he is facing now.

‘Did you know that how I appear on the screen is not my all/Did you know the image of myself filled with confidence makes me more insecure’. Because the song is sung by Se7en, who has maintained popularity for 10 years, many people have been able to relate to the song.

He debuted with the song ‘Come back to me’, with a flower boy appearance and received lots of love moving on the stage with heelys and using his whole body to make the number ’7′. He became engaged in overseas activities and became the big brother of YG entertainment. Fellow singers have identified with the song as Se7en, who has had a brilliant era revealed his heart with this song.

‘I heard that this song was almost sung by Son ho young. (Park) Jin Young hyung said that he wrote this song 2 years ago but I was the one who approached him first about working together on the song. I’m grateful to Jin Young hyung who said that this song had finally found its owner. The direct and simple lyrics actually made the song better. There are really alot of people who can relate to the song. Even if the word ‘popularity’ is removed, isnt it a song many people can identify with?’

‘The difference between YG and JYP? Well, I think both are good companies where you can learn lots of things. If I really have to put it down to something, Yang sajangnim is the type where he lets me do whatever I want and just stands in the back and watches over you whereas Jin Young hyung is the type that gives you suggestions for everything.Even though the styles are different, I’ve tried to put my colour into it.’

About his new song ‘It’s not a topic that I’ve thought about but after singing the song, it made me think alot. Rather than feeling insecure about it, it’s more about trying to feel what might happen one day. I am the type of person that thinks ‘Well it’s going to happen one day’ and accept it. Because more than anything, i started because I liked music and dance. ‘

[NEWS] Se7en’s ‘When I Can’t Sing’ Was Meant for Son Ho Young?

2012-02-03T00:23:00.000+07:00

Se7en’s comeback single When I Can’t Sing has been heating up the music charts since it was released on February 1, but it appears the Park Jin Young-produced song was originally supposed to be included in singer Son Ho Young’s album.

A video clip entitled “20110331-Son Ho Young-When I Can’t Sing” from an MBC program that aired last year was uploaded onto YouTube on January 29, and fans may be surprised to learn that the “When I Can’t Sing” in the title is indeed the song that Se7en recently released for his comeback.

Son was a guest on an episode of MBC’s Starry Night Memories, broadcast on March 31 of last year, where he sang a snippet of the song that he said was composed by Park Jin Young and would be included in his forthcoming album to be released a few months after the show′s broadcast.

We love Se7en′s new(?) song, but we can′t help but wonder why it didn′t make Son′s album.

Check out the clip for yourself below.

[NEWS] Seungri Shows Support for Se7en

2012-02-03T00:20:00.000+07:00

On February 2, Big Bang’s Seungri posted a message of support for his labelmate Se7en.

“SE7EN – When I Can’t Sing, It’s only been a day since its release but I only hear this song on TV and radio!! T.T Our cool Se7en hyung, fighting for this album,” Seungri wrote, showing his strong support for the sunbae that debuted under the same agency.

Netizens commented, “We love Se7en but we want Big Bang’s comeback album too,” “When is Big Bang coming back?” and “Se7en is finally back on top!”

Se7en’s comeback song, “When I Can’t Sing,” has swept through online music charts upon its release on February 1. The song written and produced by Park Jin Young has been garnering much attention for being the first collaboration work between YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment. It is also the first time that a YGE singer has received a song produced by somebody outside of their label.

Se7en’s new single When I Can’t Sing, which made issues for being written by Park Jin Young in the first ever YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment collaboration, is shooting through the roof of music charts, forewarning a big success to come.

When I Can’t Sing was revealed on February 1 along with the rest of Se7en’s new mini album, and immediately rose to the no. 1 spot on live charts for various online music sites such as Melon, Mnet, Dosirak, Naver and Nate.

The song’s lyrics tell of the loneliness a singer at the top of his career feels outside of the spotlight, and the song itself is an R&B piece accompanied with a mellow piano melody. It boasts a special stylishness by combining Se7en’s attractive vocals with Park Jin Young’s producing skills.

The music video that was released with the song visualizes the message contained in the lyrics, and shows Se7en performing onstage along with how he is as a normal person offstage.

The music video especially drew interest for the cameo appearance of Big Bang’s G-Dragon. He appeared as the singer up to perform after Se7en’s performance, and despite the fact that he was busy with Big Bang’s comeback preparations and that he would only be appearing for a very short time, he immediately took up the offer to appear in the music video when it came.

Se7en’s new mini album not only contains the first single cut When I Can’t Sing, but also five other tracks including Somebody Else, an electronic pop song written by YG Entertainment’s most prominent composer Teddy and Big Bang member Taeyang.

Se7en will start promoting this exciting collaboration between YG and JYPE with a comeback stage on February 5 in SBS’ Inkigayo.

Extract from the magazine interview:

- Over the past 4 years, fans have continued to cheer me on but I havent done anything for them. I always feel sorry towards them.

- ‘Somebody Else’ is a difficult song. It would be a bit too much if I had to keep singing it (laughs). I’m kidding but the key is low at the beginning and the key is raised later on in the song. I think I havent had a song up til now where there has been such a big difference in the key

[NEWS] How Did Se7en and JYP's Collaboration Happen?

2012-01-30T21:39:00.000+07:00

As we reported earlier, Se7en’s new album will be a collaboration between JYP and Se7en. Teasers were shown showing JYP playing the piano, then being joined by Se7en. Se7en also released the new mini album tracklist. This is the first time that JYP Entertainment and YG Entertainment will be working together.

So how did the two rival companies work with each other? It looks like SBS K-Pop Star and a dinner together made it happen! According to representatives, JYP and YG became closer through SBS K-Pop Star. Se7en, JYP, and YG had dinner together and that is where the project was hatched.

Both YG and JYP representatives stated, “Collaboration projects like this can always happen because all three companies (SM, YG, and JYP) are open to the idea of new projects.”

In other news, Sandara Park also wrote about the teaser for Se7en and JYP’s “When I Can’t Sing” on her me2day. She wrote on January 29, “Did you see the Se7en teaser? The song really gets to your heart. I already heard the song and have seen the music video. It gives me the shivers. I am anticipating it so much! Se7en is the best! How am I going to wait until February 1?”

Lyrics+Translation (based on the teaser)

내가 모든걸 잃어도 내가 인기가 떨어져도

더이상 노래를 못하고 다른 직업을 가져도

나라는 이유만으로 나 계속 사랑해줄수있니

Even if I lose everything

Even if my popularity drops

Even if I cant sing anymore and have another occupation

Just for the reason that I am me, can you still continue to love me?

Singer Se7en is making a comeback after one and a half years with JYP entertainment Park Jin Young’s song ‘When I can’t sing/Even if I can’t sing’.

Se7en and Park Jin Young’s collaboration is JYP’s first project of 2012 and is the first time for YG entertainment to have an artist carry out activities with a JYP song. The collaboration of the 2 entertainment companies who have been leading trends in the music industry has already gained much attention.

For this project, related persons from both companies kept it top secret to prevent information from leaking out. This was a surprise prepared by Se7en, who is making a comeback after a long time, for his fans.

Park Jin Young’s ‘When I can’t sing/Even if I can’t sing’ will be Se7en’s title track from his mini album which will be released 1st February. On the 29th, during the broadcast of SBS Inkigayo, a teaser video of Park Jin Young and Se7en singing by a piano was revealed as a surprising, attracting much interest.
