One Way to be a K-pop StarEp 11. What made Psy (Gangnam Style) so successful<div>One Way's Peter and Sky talk about how Psy became such an iconic figure. He became something unique. He got famous from his energy on stage; he's a great performer and sells out his live shows. Before singing, he was a producer; he knows what people want. He was successful because he didn't try to look 'cool,' he didn't try to be super stylish. He went for the dorky/geek look instead and owned it. He knew how to appeal with his strong points and his character. He went everywhere, worldwide, without speaking English. He just s...

Find gratitude in every opportunity you get. Never stop growing as an artist. There's no short-cut. Talent doesn't lie. You have to be the best and know you're the best and find your passion. To be creative; it doesn't work if you don't love what you do. Take a break...

It's good to have connections, and you need to be willing to work hard and persist. It helps if you're signed to a label. Companies get thousands of songs a day, so it helps if you're signed to a label or if you have someone representing you. Publishers are open to any songwriters. Call up, get as much information as you can, and find out the guidelines. It's very formal. They sign you up for sev...
2017-04-2028 minOne Way to be a K-pop StarEp 8 - Why plastic surgery is a big part of K-Pop culture<div>One Way's Sky and Peter Hyun talk about plastic surgery as part of Korea's pop culture. Nowadays people are very open about getting plastic surgery and it's just as common among male stars as female. It's become part of Korea's culture because everyone wants to be beautiful, they want to enhance their looks, everyone has a complex about themselves. The duo think Koreans worry too much about what other people think; they're very self-conscious. So many tourists come to Korea for cosmetics too. Celebrities get surgery because they want to look better on TV. So many people g...

It's less about being discreet and a lot more to do with previews, teasers and pre-promotion. Everything used to be very secretive and a lot of the time music was 'leaked'.

They get up before sunrise, get their hair and makeup done, have a dry practice, then a camera rehearsal and finally perform on the TV. It’s a very tiring day.
