HISTORY
G.o.d. is a group debuted with the song “To My Mother” also known as the so-called “The Jajangmyeon Song.” Singer Park Jin-young was the producer for the group in which 5 members, Park Joon-hyung, Ahn Danny, Yoon Gye-sang, Sohn Ho-young and Kim Tae-woo performed great musical and dance talents. Since their debut in 1999, the boy-band has been loved by fans in all age groups from teens to the middle-aged. Leader Park Joo-hyung is a rapper with a deep and low voice. Yoon Gye-sang is a high-tone rapper with a good sense of humor. Ahn Danny is Park Joon-hyung’s cousin who performs medium rap in the group. Sohn Ho-young is the vocalist for the band who is loved for his soft smile and voice. The leading vocalist Kim Tae-woo boasts great singing talent. Their musical style ranges from hip-hop, disco, latin, punk and R&B to pop ballads. Since their debut, the band has been enjoying steady popularity for its diversity in musical style. In 2002, g.o.d. participated in MTV Asia Music Awards as the Korean representative. In April of the same year, the band also participated in the official album for the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan, “True East Side.” From July that year, the band embarked on a long journey of a 100-day concert. The series of concert ended in March of 2003. In December of 2004, Yoon Gye-sang left the group temporarily to do his military service. As of January 2005, g.o.d. is actively appearing on air performing songs in their 6th album, “An Ordinary Day.”
Danny worked on Music Camp as an MC with Ock Ju Hyun. He also did his radio show "Kiss the Radio". When he left Musci Camp, Bi took over his place.
Kyesang worked on his acting career. He was on a couple of dramas including "Sister in Law is 19" and "Ban Jun".
Joon lost his grandmother during their time off.
Taewoo focused on his health and lost some weight.
Taewoo, Joon and Hoi spent time in the USA, to rest and later to record chapter 6. Danny's parts of the recording were added in Korea. Hoi trained under voice coach Jodeci for extra help with his vocals for chapter 6.
The god members faced some major challenges during their time away. First there were very unpleasant contract negotiations with their management company. For the past few albums, god had been managed by Sidus, though Taewoo was signed under JYP Entertainment (JYP a.k.a. Park Joon Young writes and produces much of god's albums, and he is a good friend of Joon's). As their contract expiry approached, Sidus stopped promoting god and they fell out of the limelight (chapter 5). Joon and Hoi decided to jump ship and join Taewoo under JYP Entertainment. Danny and Kyesang resigned under Sidus. Because that contract problem was drawn out, god was forced to stay in the background for a while.
The second major challenge the members faced was the departure of Kyesang. His departure seemed quite abrupt and unexpected. But the remaining god members put on a brave face and persevered, pledging their support to Kyesang. In a statement released by the group, they said "When a member leaves a group, it can feel as if there is a huge empty space, but the remaining members are working twice as hard to make up for the difference."
These challenges also consumed a lot of god's "time off" between the 100 day concert and the release of chapter 6.
But its great to see them back, they are moving forward and leaving their difficulties behind them. While they are not the same without Kyesang, the heart of god is still there so they are still my favorite Korean group.
Host- this is mnet 10 stars- we’ve spent time with 9 of them and now we
have 10. the final star. I don’t have tot tell you who they are do it?
with friendly smiles and friendly hearts, and warm songs, mnets 10th star…
g…o..d
Than it goes through their hit song from each album
Chapter1- To mother
Chapter2- love and remember
Chapter 3- Good bye
Chapter 4- Gil- road
Chapter5- letter
Chapter 6- Ordinary day
1999- producer park jin young puts together a good group- grove overdose…g.o.d
than vo lady lists the member- they were assembled in 1997 and 2 years
later their dreams came true when they debuted in 1999.
The title song- to mother—a warm song about the love of parents—to mother
became the first impression.
2nd album title song- love and remember and the song yah-soo, god gave
fans some good songs (?)
performances…
danny at point point tells the audience to scream… than says- this is the
reason fan god is the best!
Yooki-ilgil—the real drama with jaemin…
The drama showed the members their love for jaemin and their behavior
was so natural (came easy). They say good bye- so sad…
Viewers fell in love with yooki-ilgi
Than it lists their awards in 2000
Mnet music fest male group
Taewoos main vocals on good bye is heart wrenching
The gospel song- one candle light-- totally don’t get what she says here…
2001- a special day for god- their first concert (for the album, I assume)
hoyoung- I was so nervous, my knees were weak- thank you and love you.
--la vida loca—
than she lists the concert cities…
2001 they win the mtv viewer’s choice award.
It’s reported in seoul sports (newspaper) the unbelievable news that joon
is leaving the group… the fans ban together… fan god doesn’t want him to
leave… they reveal reasons he should leave (or get kicked out- don’t get
it all) the members gather for a news conference without joon… they
reveal that they didn’t know about joons exist…
Taewoo- we didn’t know of any kicking out of anyone… but It would be a
lie to day that I didn’t feel nothing was wrong
Hoyoung goes into that thing about his bright smile- so bizarre…
Hours later, joon has a press conference- he is hard pressed to find words…
Joon cries…
Fans oppose joon’s exit…
After a year, the fans start to regard the band again- the drama was over-
the band stood behind joon.
Than she does into the various songs on the album—blah blah blah
God gives the fans a present- the good book- a series of god pictures…
Business man, taewoo
Doctor, hoyoung
Violinist danny
Auto racer kyesung
Mechanic joon
(I don’t understand if this is their dream if they weren’t a singer or what
they thought they’d end up doing if they weren’t singers(?))
they win more awards—including the daesang in 2002
more perky host girl… god has a world cup memory
they became world cup representatives-- they try new things, contributing
to the Champion OST (excellent movie btw) and the 100day human concert.
Than it goes onto chapter5—I think she says that their broadcast perf. Are limited for the promotion for this album… letter shows their color in typical
god style…
Goes thru various concert perfs.—they look like they are having so much
FUN!!!
Another news of exiting- the fans are nervous. Nothing is confirmed.
(this is the spilt to jyp) danny and kyesung pursue individual interests-
danny radio program kiss the radio allows people to meet god members…
it may be just danny but the whole group is present…
Press conference for 6jib
Instead of 5 there is 4… but it’s not that anyone was kicked out- the group
supported kyesungs departure to acting. (danny looks embarrassed when
joon shows off his t-shirt)
The group gathers to support kyesung.
God’s 6jib showcase—
Taewoo- when I give the signal, you have to sing it load, we aren’t going to
use the mics so you have to be loud!
Audience- YES!
Hoyoung- we aren’t going to sing it for you
Taewoo- we’re not going to sing it! (with them)
The showcase shows off the movie- ordinary day… the scenario matches
their album…
Danny- yous aw the movie? How was it? did you see me? I was in it,
didn’t you see me? You didn’t see me? It’s bunk! I’m not in it!
During the concert- they look for kyesung- taewoo wants the spotlight on kyesung!
Taewoo- kyesung, where are you?!
With kyesang gone, they have to work 5% harder… they will have to fill the space that kyesung left behind so that god can be 100%… god is a special
group… to put it exactly they are a consistent group… the warm feeling they started with the loving song to mother to the tending of jaemin to banning
together for joon to projects programs- like brothers, they fill the hearts of
the people… and than- I totally don’t understand but it’s a bunch of good
things about god…

G.O.D: Grave Over Danger?
The road ahead for the "People's Group" G.O.D took a dark turn when group member Yoon Kye Sang told the media on July 21 that he didn't know anything about a 6th album coming out in November as recently announced by fellow member Danny Ahn. The latter had publicly projected that the next GOD album would be coming out this November after recording in the fall on his radio show "Danny Ahn's Kiss Radio" in early July. But Kye Sang who opened a media conference at a Seoul restaurant to talk about the new TV drama he was going to star in shocked fans by stating, "I don't know anything about an album coming out in November. I'm also not keeping in touch with the other GOD members." And asked about the new direction in his career he said, "I don't know. Acting has always been my dream." Yoon Kye Sang will star in the SBS drama "Nine Hyung Soo Nim" which premiers on July 28. He also insisted that there was no decision on a possible breakup as rumored since last year.
The situation with GOD is a complicated one as Kim Tae Woo, Park Joon Hyung and Son Ho Young belong to Park Jin Young's JYP Group while Yoon Kye Sang and Danny Ahn are officially signed under Sidus Entertainment. Both companies had announced in May that the 6th GOD album would be coming out in September and that after that the members would decide their futures. Rumors however have already been spreading about disharmony within the group as Yoon Kye Sang was the only member who wasn't present in GOD's meeting with Usher back in April and a GOD appearance on Danny Ahn's radio show in May. In fact as time passes without signs of a new album many fans are worried that the group is "doing a Finkl" who dived into an endless dormant period without ever announcing an official breakup. Music industry insiders are also getting restless as Kpop sales continue to slump toward record lows. GOD released Kpop's last million selling album when their 4th album in 2001 topped the million mark and earned the group four Daesangs.
New album releases: Former SES members Eugene and Bada are both targeting August releases for their respective 2nd albums. Eugene who's aiming at an early August comeback recently signed a 6 month endorsement contract worth $120,000 to model for LG's cosmetic brand. The deal will also support her gasoo activities including the shooting of the music video and album jacket. Eugene had concentrated on her studies as a French literature major at Korea University after her 1st album activities last year. Meanwhile Bada who will have 5 of Japan's top producers working on her new album is expected to come out in late August.
More new releases: A release date of August 10 has been announced for Shinhwa's official 7th album after a delay of several weeks. The group is currently scheduled to stage their Comeback Special on SBS Inky Gayo on August 8.
More news: According to Oricon Style's recent survey of 20,000 Japanese fans Boa is the gasoo that people would most like to have as a friend. According to the same survey Boa is also the 3rd most liked female artist by males after Utada Hikaru and Aiko and the 4th most liked female artist by females. SM Entertainment also denied rumors that Boa applied for Yonsei University which is considered Korea's 2nd best universtiy. Boa who's currently performing her 4th album's "My Name" will fly over to Japan for an Avex sponsored concert on August 1. Her next Japanese single is scheduled to come out on September 1.
