BLACKPINK's Passionate Jump Comes to Life - The Complete Behind-the-Scenes Story
Members Actually Created Their Own Music This time was genuinely different. 'Jump' showed a completely different approach from the usual method of simply receiving a song from producers and performing it. BLACKPINK members directly participated in every aspect of the production process, from setlists to choreography composition, and even props, infusing genuine authenticity into the work. This is similar to how young rappers in our country pour their lives and experiences into lyrics, or how indie musicians translate their personal stories into music. As maestros like AR Rahman always emphasize, true music emerges from an artist's personal experiences and creativity. Particularly during this process, the members wanted to break away from the existing BLACKPINK framework and attempt new challenges. This mirrors how our young generation naturally embraces global trends like hip-hop and EDM while respecting Bollywood traditions. The harmony between tradition and modernity - that's essentially the core message of 'Jump'. The Fantastic Meeting of a Global Dream Team Just looking at the lineup of producers for 'Jump' is jaw-dropping. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo TEDDY and 24, who have created numerous mega-hits for BLACKPINK, participated as core producers, and renowned international songwriters and composers joined forces to complete the track. What's particularly noteworthy is that one of the main producers of this song is Diplo . Diplo, famous for Major Lazer, is known for crossing various genres including dancehall, hip-hop, pop, dubstep, and moombahton based on electronic music. His participation, having worked with global artists like Beyonce and Justin Bieber, perfectly explains why 'Jump' has such a groundbreaking sound. This kind of global collaboration holds the same significance as when our country's films collaborate with Hollywood technical crews to create world-class works. Converting to budget terms, approximately 50 crore rupees (around 500 million won) in large-scale production costs were likely invested, proving this to be a top-tier global production. The Bold Challenge of Hardstyle 'Jump' is BLACKPINK's first attempt at the hardstyle genre. Starting with a guitar riff reminiscent of a Western film scene, the members' distinctive vocals build up, and in the chorus, energy completely explodes in Electronic Dance Music (EDM) style. Looking at the musical composition in more detail, it's a form that perfectly combines hardstyle and EDM elements based on dance-pop. It has a structure where electric guitar and bass gradually build up over the Western film guitar riff, and the liveliness of dance-pop fantastically harmonizes with the addictive sound of synthesizers. This musical experiment is similar to how young musicians in our country fuse classical ragas with modern beats, or how composers like Puneet Rajat combine traditional music with global trends. It's evaluated as boldly challenging new territories by completely breaking the traditional K-pop formula. Visual Magic Created by a Grammy-Winning Director The 'Jump' music video was directed by Dave Meyers, who boasts Grammy Award-winning credentials. He's a true master who has created numerous iconic music videos including Lisa's solo track 'New Woman', Taylor Swift's 'ME!', and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Espresso'. Filming took place in Seoul's Yongsan-gu area and was a large-scale production involving 100 extras. The creative director recalled, "Going to Seoul with Dave and putting K-pop's biggest stars on the streets while working with 100 extras was a truly insane experience." The music video's concept is simple yet incredibly powerful. It visually and literally expresses that BLACKPINK is on everyone's lips and has settled in everyone's hearts. This is similar to perfectly visualizing the impact that mega-stars like Shah Rukh Khan or Amitabh Bachchan have on popular culture in our country. The Heat of the First Meeting at the Concert 'Jump' was first revealed at concerts held at Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province on July 5-6, before the official music release. At this massive event with 78,000 people gathered, despite being an unreleased track, it definitely captured the fans' attention. 'Jump' performed at the venue was in a format that departed from the existing BLACKPINK style, but it showed the most BLACKPINK-like energy with exciting beats and rhythms that could definitely heat up the venue atmosphere. Even the somewhat crude live cam videos from the scene made it clear that this was an extraordinary work. This live premiere method was a marketing strategy similar to how teasers or trailers of our country's films are first revealed in theaters to gauge immediate audience reactions. The fact that K-pop culture, which values direct communication with fans, and our country's star-fan relationship culture are remarkably similar allowed us to confirm cultural empathy once again.

The Impossible Mission of Compressing a Web Novel into 2 Hours - K-Drama Director's Shocking Truth Revealed
Still from fantasy action film ″Omniscient Reader″ BLACKPINK Jisoo, The scene where Jisoo holds a gun instead of a knife drew a backlash from the audience. Why Fans Are Furious - Their Beloved Character Became a Completely Different Person Imagine this: A web novel character you've loved for years appears completely different in the movie adaptation. How would you feel if someone made a Ramayana film and suddenly changed Hanuman from using his divine powers to wielding guns instead? This exact scenario is playing out in Korea right now. Fans of the web novel " Omniscient Reader " are in complete meltdown mode. The character Lee Ji-hye , played by Blackpink's Jisoo, has been changed 180 degrees from the original. This character, who was originally a master swordsman, has become a sniper in the movie. Even more shocking is that the character's core setting - the "constellation sponsor" (basically receiving protection from a divine being) - has been completely erased. It's like making a Krrish movie where suddenly Krrish only uses martial arts instead of his superpowers. No wonder fans are reacting with "What the hell is this nonsense?" by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo Director's Excuses - The Classic "We Didn't Have Enough Time" Cliche Director Kim Byung-woo faced reporters at a Seoul cafe to explain himself. His excuse was the same tired line every adaptation director uses worldwide: "We didn't have enough time." "We thought it was more efficient to only include elements directly related to the events in the film," he said. But the truly shocking revelation was what he disclosed next: this movie only covers a mere 10% of the original work. 10%? This is like trying to make the entire 7-book Harry Potter series into one movie while only covering part of the first book. It was an impossible challenge from the start. Regarding Ji-hye's sponsor setting, the director also made excuses, saying it "wasn't changed, just postponed." He claimed "we can address it in a sequel," but from fans' perspective, the reaction is "Then why didn't you do it right from the beginning?" Director's 2-Year Dilemma - And This is the Result? The most ironic part is that Director Kim took a whopping two years to decide whether to accept this project. He received the offer after his 2018 film "Take Point" but worried about ruining a beloved original work. It's truly ironic that two years of contemplation resulted in this kind of controversy. It's like the Indian film industry spending two years pondering whether to remake masterpieces like "3 Idiots" or "Dangal," only to end up removing the core elements of the original. The director said the message he wanted to convey was "solidarity." He explained it as "a story about Dok-ja, who was always alone, meeting companions and overcoming difficulties together." But ironically, he seems to have completely failed at solidarity with the original fans. Korean Film Industry's Anticipated Work, But a Dangerous Gamble "Omniscient Reader" is attracting attention with its stellar cast including Lee Min-ho, Ahn Hyo-seop, Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, Nana, and Jisoo. It's a story about an ordinary office worker who falls into the world of a novel he was reading and must save the world. Set to release on July 23, this film is considered a hopeful project that could revitalize the struggling Korean film industry. However, how much damage the original fans' anger will inflict on the box office remains uncertain. The director said, "Working with such a great original work, I felt a great responsibility not to mess it up." But ironically, that sense of responsibility seems to have become poison instead. This situation isn't unfamiliar in our country either. We face similar dilemmas when adapting Western content to Indian tastes. But the key is adding new charm without damaging the essence of the original. Unfortunately, "Omniscient Reader" seems to have failed to find that balance. The film tells the story of Kim Dok-ja, an ordinary office worker whose reality suddenly mirrors a novel he has read, becoming the only person who knows how the world will end and embarking on a journey to change the story's course and save the world. Despite the controversy, many hope this star-studded adaptation will breathe new life into Korean cinema this summer.
