In the studio of the K-Pop Top Media label in Seoul, four French artists rub the Korean music industry, thanks to a partnership between the National Center for Music and the Korean pop labels. In addition to the rhythms that now make the whole world dance, these young artists discover the Korean method to make a tube, which is quite destabilizing for them.
“K-pop is a very special style where everyone has their place and you have to stay in their place when in France we often have several caps“Explains Poppy.”It’s very codifiedadds Robin, It is a fairly complicated exercise because there is less this notion of vibe where we will all go in the studio around an instrument. It is more everyone leads their science so that the piece is calibrated with a percentage near “.
“It’s a different way of working, it’s neither better nor less well, it’s different.”

Despite some hinds, misunderstandings and the language barrier, the group led by Jean-Noël manages to advance on this musical project. In the studio for a little more than two hours, he assures that “It goes very well, in a fairly collegial way, everyone brings their ideas. It’s cool to see a different method, we are not used to it in France, it is enriching“He explains that for this group of singers of 16-17 years old, they work on a melody”Quite young, not too mature“And claims to go”in stages“.
A few hours later, the troop comes out of the studio with a model of K-Pop where the singers of the label will only have their voice and find a choreography. An enriching experience for Poppy who intends to draw inspiration from K-pop in his work. “”I was very intimidated when arriving hereshe said, And I’m happy with the result. I am happy to have brought things and enormously learned “.
“I hope it will unleash my music a little, I’m going to dig my head to put little twists.”
