JANNABI ENG

  Q. If you were to describe the album in a sentence? It's an album made at home, in the evening, while staring out the window idly without much thought. I hope those who listen to it enjoy it like that as well.  Q. The reason you made such an album? I wanted to try it once. It's the case with all other albums but even moreso with this, I wrote songs for myself. I really worked on the 3rd album that was released last July intensively. I pretended like it didn't happen but the aftermath really hit me hard, I think the way to recover is starting to work on a new project. So I thought this time let me just make an "in any case good" album! Q. What was the process like? it flowed smoothly. The songs were made in a blink of an eye and the lyrics were also written quickly. I usually write lyrics sitting on my desk but this time it was written lazing around lying on the mat or bed. If I get deep thoughts I just shake it off and watch Bonbono or funny videos while doing n...

  Q. I heard that your mother doesn't like your long hair which you have now become famous for. She even sent in a complaint to one of your radio appearances asking 'Why on earth do you grow it'. A. I didn't grow it because I wanted to. I didn't have time to cut it before some gig so I went on stage as is and the fans really liked it. So I kept growing it since. Q. There's the story with your mom, and looking at other stories here and there, I burst out laughing so many times. It seems like your life is a sitcom without intending it. A. I'm a bit like that. Life is like a sitcom, just like the saying "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up but a comedy in long-shot." There are obviously things you really hate and you could get stressed but in the long run, it's all comedy. You can only laugh.         Q. Jannabi's 3rd album 'The Land of Fantasy' has finally come out. How do you usually feel after putting out an album? A. This time i...

5 Questions and Answers with Jannabi Q What have you been diving into lately? It hasn't been long since the release of the album so it's still pretty hectic but amidst that I've been busy looking for new music. There's nothing like a new stimulus to beat the burnout that comes after every album. Q In comparison to your previous release, this album <The Land of Fantasy> is very unique.  It sounds like a song you'd listen to alone on a merry-go-round at a closed theme park. Also feels like I'm watching a high quality musical. Makes me wonder what the intention behind it was.  I hoped many people would feel entertained by it and through that, I included things I wanted to say as well. Just like a storybook or a movie, I made it hoping it would make people take a breath and picture their own image while listening. It seems like music has become closer to an accessory or some scenery these days, I wanted to make an album whose true value can only be felt while ...

Such dramatic events or common 'One Hits' don't exist. The times when they would sing counting the audience off stage with their eyes, the name ' Jannabi ' was introduced to the world. Group sound Jannabi made up of same-age-friends born in 1992 who were raised in Dolmaro, Bundang-gu. In every interview they say "all members are born in the year of the monkey, the group name Jannabi means monkey in pure Korean." won't this year be the last time they introduce themselves like that? their 2nd album <Legend> peaked at 1st place on music charts, and their first nationwide tour was sold out within 2 minutes only. The constant offers that come to them from radio and T/V, Jannabi who scream of happiness because of that are definitely a 'hot band' now.  VK: While doing the outfit fitting for the photoshoot, I noticed that from the pants to the smallest accessories you discussed meticulously with your stylist. Seems like you have big...
