■ ‘MYNAME’, who will be having their concert soon
“The anticipation is high, but so is the burden and worry, practicing over and over till early morning”
Group MYNAME will be holding their first solo concert on 2nd March, just 1 year and 6 months after their debut. They are promoting their recently released song ‘Just That Little Thing’ and are spending everyday sweating in their practice room till early morning to create a perfect concert.
Rookie group MYNAME, who will be having their solo concert which every singer dreams of, shares their feelings by saying, “We’re thrilled since it’s our first concert. We do have experience having our own concert in Japan, but we are really looking forward to this since we wanted to hold one in Korea. But we are more pressured.”
They added, “Of course our practice sessions till early morning is tough, but we are more worried about how to make the audience, who bought tickets and will come to see us, feel satisfied. That pressure is really huge so even though practice session ends, we have additional practices for singing.”
How did they feel when they first heard the news about their concert? MYNAME replied, “We were more worried rather than thinking about Hwanhee.” They now also recognize the concern the public has.
“We still get a lot of bad attention rather than good ones. We’ve heard things like ‘It hasn’t been long since their debut, so what concert?’ and there are those who are concerned that we don’t have many songs. We are very worried about what we show you on stage rather than feeling happy about it, but nothing is solved if we only worry about it, so we strive to show a variety of performances and prepared a lot. We are putting in a lot of effort to show you a quality concert, so please support us.”

[Asia Daily Lee Geumjoon reporter] Group MYNAME faced a flustering situation. That’s because they had to discard 20,000 albums because of Gangnam Style.
MYNAME’s agency’s representative revealed to Asia Daily, “We recently had to discard 20,000 copies of MYNAME’s 2nd single. That’s because the completed CD had Psy’s ‘Gangnam Style’ as the 6th track.”
According to the representative, MYNAME’s 2nd single CD was produced during autumn last year. It was when ‘Gangnam Style’ was at it’s peak of popularity.

1st generation idol group H.O.T. took 1 and a half years, and the best among the 2nd generation idol groups DBSK took 2 years. That is nothing compared to BoA, who took 13 years. We are talking about 1st solo concerts in Korea. But idol groups these days do it faster.
Apart from Big Bang who had their first concert 4 months after debut, most idol groups up till now take about 2 years to hold their first concert. Even so, they are the more popular groups. This includes Super Junior, 2PM and SHINee.
But from last year, the environment has changed. Infinite took 2 years and 2 months, B1A4 took 1 year and 8 months to hold their first concerts. This year, MYNAME will have their first concert after 1 year and 5 months, and B.A.P will have theirs after 1 year and 1 months, exceeding Beast, who took 1 year and 2 months.

MYNAME, who have released 2 single albums in Korea, will hold their first solo concert.
MYNAME will meet their fans on 2nd March at UNIQLO AX Hall, Kwangjang-dong, Kwangjin-gu, Seoul for their first solo concert ‘The Beginning’.
MYNAME made their debut in 2011, and released only 2 single albums which is little compared to other groups. This is because they signed on with Japan’s biggest and oldest entertainment company, Yoshimoto R&C, and started their promotions there early. But to repay their fans’ support, they will also have a solo concert in Korea.
MYNAME had their solo concert in Tokyo and Osaka last December and captured the heart of Japan, increasing anticipation for their first Korean concert.
MYNAME will perform their debut song ‘Message’ and ‘Hello & Goodbye’, as well as the title song of their 2nd single album to be released on the 25th ‘Just That Little Thing’ and ‘Astonished’. They also plan to perform a Korean version of their Japanese song which the members wrote the lyrics to.

[Trans - News] MYNAME Will Release A Japanese Movie In April About Their Growth
[SportsSeoul.com | Kang Seunghoon reporter] 5-member idol group MYNAME will release a movie in Japan about their practice, debut and growth in Japan.
On the 22nd, MYNAME told SportsSeoul.com in an interview, “We have cranked in a movie depicting MYNAME’s activities in Japan in April. Insoo and Seyong will play the leading roles, but JunQ, Chaejin and Gunwoo will also act in the movie.”
Past movies with idol groups include 1998′s ‘Seventeen’ with Sechs Kies and 2007′s ‘Attack Of The Pin-up Boys’ with Super Junior. ‘I AM’, a movie about SM Entertainment’s 32 artists, showed the idols’ growth, but it was in a documentary form and featured many groups, making it different from MYNAME’s movie.
This movie still has no title currently. 1000 actresses turned up in Japan to vie for the lead actress role, raising anticipation for the movie. This shows the level of awareness of MYNAME in Japan although they made their debut not long ago.
This production was filmed 40% in Korea and 60% in Japan. Because the movie was filmed in both Korean and Japanese locations, the script uses both languages.
MYNAME said, “We are anticipating acting with the members. Of course we still haven’t gotten our status as singers now, so our activities as actors might be a negative thing. Rather than trying to gain something from acting in this production, we want to let more people know about MYNAME. We want to focus on showcasing our diverse charms.”
Saying that, MYNAME have no support of their acting abilities, and they don’t even think about winning using their popularity.
There is a lot of anticipation for Seyong acting as one of the lead roles in this movie. Seyong even dreamt of becoming an actor, graduated from an arts highschool, and majored in acting at Seoul Institute of the Art. He has enough acting basics for the entire agency’s staff to pick him as the best actor among the MYNAME members.
Seyong showed his anticipation by saying, “I think this is a good chance. Firstly, I will do my best and make the film shine. We will be releasing not only an album in 2013, but will also release a movie and have concerts.”
This movie is planned to be released in Japan. There are still no plans to release it in Korea. MYNAME’s representatives said, “We will have to consult the Japanese writers, but there is still no intention of releasing it in Korea.”
Meanwhile, MYNAME will be starting promotions for their 2nd single ‘Such A Thing’, and will release a single album in Japan in March.
