[theqoo] BANG SIHYUK "FANS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT" ... NURTURING THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND "POP STAR ACADEMY"

"Since long ago, I’ve been thinking about nurturing talent from various countries based on the K-pop methodology and creating global groups with the K-pop style."

■ K-Pop is a 'Total Package'... Requires the Sensitivity of an Artist and the Strength of an Athlete

In the documentary, Chairman Bang firmly stated, "Not every member can be the best singer or dancer, but everyone must meet a certain level to join the team." This means that one cannot become a K-pop artist with only specific talents such as vocals, performance, or star quality; rather, one must develop abilities across multiple areas.

■ Star Quality is Important, but… "Without a 'Team,' There is No Individual"

In this documentary, Chairman Bang emphasizes the importance of certain members with star quality, saying, “Some people are drawn to those who are on stage,” but he also stresses that "members in a K-pop group, which is a multi-member band, each have their own roles," highlighting the importance of 'a harmonious team of individualities.'

Experts and fandoms outside Korea also believe that factors contributing to K-pop’s popularity, like 'sharp choreography' and 'chemistry between members,' originate from 'teamwork.' While there are doubts about whether K-pop-style training, which emphasizes the community over the individual, can be accepted in the U.S. music industry, the successful debut of KATSEYE has been seen as proof that it is 'entirely feasible.' Viewers of 'Popstar Academy: KATSEYE' have commented on social media and forums, expressing amazement and emotion at how participants from various countries grow and adhere to K-pop’s training system that emphasizes 'us.'

■ The Final Piece that Completes K-Pop… Understanding the Value of 'Fandom'

Chairman Bang’s philosophy that 'K-pop is completed by its fans' is unwavering. The reason audition participants performed one of the three missions in Korea and held offline fan meetings is because he considers meeting fans to be of utmost importance. He stated, "Communication with core fandoms is extremely important in K-pop, and these fans value being under the same sky physically. I wanted fans to feel attachment to the participants before their debut," explaining the rationale behind the participants’ trip to Korea.

When asked about the three most important virtues a K-pop artist should have, Chairman Bang identified "making fans happy" as one of them. He advised, "Although it can be tough as a person sometimes, if you value making music, stage performances, and fans happy, these things will continuously drive and motivate you forward," emphasizing that trainees should always keep fans in mind throughout their training.

Chairman Bang has also stressed the importance of fans to artists he has directly produced. He often advises Txt and ENHYPEN that "There are no artists without fans. Fans must come first. They are the most precious." He has mentioned in interviews that this advice influences social communication with fans as well.
