When asked about some of the stereotypes he’s been labelled with as an idol composer, he stated, “There is definitely a negative view towards composers for idol music. They think that we create superficial music, but it’s not true. I believe that our music is capable of touching the emotions, and it’s upsetting that we’re not acknowledged for it. When I made B2ST’s ‘Soom‘ and ‘Shock‘, I wanted to give it a similar sound color, but give it a unique touch. Unfortunately, people criticized me for plagiarizing myself. They fail to see that it depends on who the team is, and that the songs adhere to a color specific to them.”
He continued, “Trend music can’t escape being put on the chopping block. There’s a lot of room for comparisons, but I think that in itself is a form of the public taking interest. Through such controversies is how the music market grows.”
Speaking of trends, the latest pattern seems to follow hit composers like E-TRIBE and Bang Shi Hyuk producing their own idol groups from scratch. Will Shinsadong Tiger be joining them?
“I do have a few that I’m training in hopes of becoming an idol producer, but it’s a lot harder than I initially thought. I thought long and hard about it, but it takes a lot more than just a few good ideas and passion. I’m not 30 years old yet, so I still have a lot of time and freedom. I want to continue pursuing music before I give it a try when I feel more responsible.”
Shinsadong Tiger concluded, “For me, my responsibility lies in helping my friends shine on stage with my songs.”
