[ARTICLE] 190419 Band vocals who started from audition programmes.. ‘Jannabi’s Choi Junghoon-N.Flying’s Yoo Hwe Seung-The Rose’s Kim Woosung’

Source 🔗 : http://www.topstarnews.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=614824#_enliple

[Lee Ye Ji Reporter] Recently Jannabi’s Choi Junghoon appeared on “I Live Alone” And has become a hot topic. On the other hand, N.Flying’s popularity is increasing and with their song ‘Rooftop’ placing first place, it’s adding on to the status. On the 12th, The Rose appeared on the audition programme ‘Superband’ and became a hot issue.

As such, the current bands of today, while searching for similarities, we found an interesting fact.

Jannabi’s Vocal Choi Junghoon, N.Flying’s Vocal Yoo Hwe Seung and The Rose’s Vocal Kim Woosung are band vocals who started from audition programmes.

(They talked about Jannabi and N.Flying but I’m not gonna translate that, it’s too long >_<)

The Rose Kim Woosung (August 2017)

The Rose is a 4-people Korean Band who debuted on the 3rd of August 2017. The team members consist of Woosung as guitar and vocals, Dojoon as keyboard and vocals, Hajoon as drums and Jaehyeong as bass. Before debuting, they performed their self-composed songs and cover songs through busking and they debuted through M! Countdown on the 3rd of August.

The Rose’s Leader and vocal Woosung is from Los Angeles, USA and he appeared in KPOPSTAR (season 1), which ran for 22 episodes from the 29th April 2012.

Appearing on the programme at that time is DAY6’s member Jae (Park Jaehyung), they became close and even up till now have maintained a close friendship. Woosung, who appeared on KPOPSTAR season 1, sang Jason Mraz’s Live High And Rain’s How to Avoid the Sun.

Park Jinyoung, Yang Hyunsuk and BoA watched Woosung’s stage with a pleased smile and said that he has potential.

After appearing in KPOPSTAR Season 1, he debuted as The Rose 5 years later.

In an interview, he said, “when I was eliminated from Kpopstar, I was in my 3rd year of high school. At that time I had a big interest in doing psychology and contemplated going to university too. I went back to the states to further discuss my future with my parents. The conclusion was that “I can go to university next time but to be a singer, if it’s not now, it’s never”, and the writer for KPOPSTAR then also said “there are companies in Korea who want to meet you” so I came to Korea and successfully signed with a company. However, the concept the company wanted was very different with what I imagined. I trained with them for about 3 years and it was a lot harder than I thought. Still, I was teaching English in Korea while chasing my dream of being a singer and I met these friends (The Rose) coincidentally,” he explained his background before debuting as The Rose.

Also, The Rose appeared in the first broadcast of Superband on the 12th and has garnered a lot attention since.

They sang The Script’s song, Breakeven, and won the hearts of the judges.

NELL’s Kim Jongwan said, “firstly, I listened to it well. And as expected as a team who has performed continuously you are less nervous than others, and your voice is especially good Woosung-sshi, that’s a big advantage. Your voice itself is cool but it’s not easy to express your lyrics through singing but (you did, and) I listened to it well,” he praised Woosung’s voice colour.

Yoon Jongshin said, “this team has a complete sound and I don’t know if this is an advantage or a disadvantage but as what Jongwan-sshi has mentioned, as a team that has performed continuously, they have their own sound. I think it’s because of that that they were a team that sounded good.”

Moving forward, we have to continue watching to see how The Rose will fair in Superband.

The Rose’s company is J&Star Company and The Rose’s releases albums are the Rose 1st Single ‘Sorry’, The Rose 2nd Single '좋았는데’ (Like We Used To), Void and Dawn

Creating a Twitterbot in Python

Inspired by ‘ursooperduper’s wonderful write-up of how to make a twitter bot in node.js (found here: part 1, part 2) I thought I would share my experience with making one in python.

I too was inspired by Darius Kazemi’s talk at XOXO and decided to dust off my text editor and get to work. A lot of the information from ursooperduper’s part 1 tutorial is transferable, so I’d recommend reading it to figure out how to get set up with twitter.

My bot is titled asheeshbot and does exactly one thing, it believes people. It does this by searching for people who state that they can’t believe things, and then responding to them. The code can be found here, but before we get into it lets go over set-up.

First off you’ll want to set up a development environment, the first step of which is creating a folder to put all of your code in. On a system with a decent command line this will look like

mkdir my_twitter_bot

Now some of you may know that python versioning is a serious pain. Since we’ll be using a library for communication with twitter (in this case Twython) it’s important that we have the proper version of it, as libraries that rely on external APIs can often break when the API gets updated, this is the case with a lot of the existing python twitter libraries. If you use a regular package manager (such as homebrew or apt-get) to install these libraries globally you can get yourself into the position where you have installed an old version of this library and your code will use it by default.

To deal with this sort of problem it’s common practice to contain each project in its own virtual environment. Apt-get or brew install virtualenv and then create a virtual environment for your project by typing:

virtualenv my_twitter_bot

(or whatever the name of the folder you made was)

once this finishes move into the newly christened directory and activate the virtualenv

cd my_twitter_bot source bin/activate

As I understand it what virtualenv does is it makes a clone of python and your python libraries inside of your project’s folder. When it’s active it will install new libraries just into that directory and when using imported libraries it will first try to find them within the project folder. This allows you have better control over what version of each package each of your projects is using. So now to install Twython:

pip install twython

I seem to have twython 3.1.2 installed, and it’s working just fine.

Okay now to the code:

from twython import Twython import json def auth(): with open("access.json", 'r') as f: db = json.load(f) return Twython(db["API_Key"], db["API_Secret"], db["Access_Token"], db["Access_Token_Secret"]) def load(): with open("queue.json", 'r') as f: queue = json.load(f) with open("info.json", 'r') as fi: info = json.load(fi) return queue, info def dump(queue, info): with open("queue.json", 'w') as f: json.dump(queue, f) with open("info.json", 'w') as fi: json.dump(info, fi) def respond(twitter, top_tweet): name = top_tweet["user"]["screen_name"] twitter.update_status(status="@%s Oh, I can believe it!" %(name), in_reply_to_status_id=top_tweet["id"]) def main(): twitter = auth() queue, info = load() tweets = twitter.search(q="I can't believe", result_type="recent", since_id=info["sinceid"], count='100') info["sinceid"] = tweets["search_metadata"]["max_id"] triggers = ("Can't believe", "can't believe", "I can't believe") to_add = [tweet for tweet in tweets["statuses"] if not tweet["retweeted"] and not tweet.has_key("retweeted_status")] to_add = [tweet for tweet in to_add if tweet["text"].startswith(triggers) or tweet["text"].split(" ",1)[1].startswith(triggers)] queue = queue + to_add mx = max(len(to_add), 20) if len(queue) > mx: queue = queue[-mx:] if len(queue) > 0: respond(twitter, queue.pop()) dump(queue, info) #run on cron every minute if __name__ == "__main__": main()

A scant 45 lines, which we’ll now go through individually

from twython import Twython import json

The first line imports the Twython class from the twython library, which will prevent us from calling something ugly like twython.Twython(etc.). The second line imports python’s standard json library which we’ll be using to store some information about the tweets we’ll be posting in the future, and to get our access token data (those pesky secret keys twitter gives you)

first we call

def main(): twitter = auth()

which calls:

def auth(): with open("access.json", 'r') as f: db = json.load(f) return Twython(db["API_Key"], db["API_Secret"], db["Access_Token"], db["Access_Token_Secret"])

This opens our access.json file which has our credentials stored as a dictionary, and then creates an authenticated Twython object using them. Look at the Twython Docs for more info on the syntax and usage. As a result we now have a variable named twitter that will do the rest of our twitter posting and searching work for us.

Our access.json file looks like this:

{"Access_Token": "0000000000-aaaAAAaaaAaa0a0AAaaaaaaAAa0aAAaAAa0Aa0a", "API_Secret": "aaAaaAaaaaAAa0aA0a0A00aA0a0A00A0AA0A00a", "API_Key": "a0A0aA000AaAaaaAAaa", "Access_Token_Secret": "aAAAaAaaaAAAA00A0A000AaaaAAaa"}

Or whatever. Those db[“Access_Token_Secret”] things are us looking up the value for that key in the dictionary, as defined by this json file, this aAAAaAaaaAAAA00A0A000AaaaAAaa gets input into our Twyton instatiation call. Next:

queue, info = load()

Which calls

def load(): with open("queue.json", 'r') as f: queue = json.load(f) with open("info.json", 'r') as fi: info = json.load(fi) return queue, info

Those weird looking 'with’s here ensure that each of these files is closed after reading out the JSON. queue is a list (that starts off empty i.e. []) of tweets we have yet to respond to, and info is a dictionary with only one value which we’ll use to store some of the information returned to us by our twitter call.

We return these together into the same variable names in the main function, a fun little piece of python syntactic sugar. Otherwise we could return them in a list and access them by index later. Next we do a twitter search and begin to filter out tweets we don’t want to respond to:

tweets = twitter.search(q="I can't believe", result_type="recent", since_id=info["sinceid"], count='100')

This returns us a dictionary with two elements, one with the metadata for our query as the value, and one with a list of tweets (as many as we requested in count) as the value of the other

info["sinceid"] = tweets["search_metadata"]["max_id"]

Here we store the id of the most recent tweet our search got into the info dictionary so that we don’t add the same tweet to the queue multiple times by never getting repeated tweets in a query. We’ll store this in info.json and use it next time we do a search query.

triggers = ("Can't believe", "can't believe", "I can't believe") to_add = [tweet for tweet in tweets["statuses"] if not tweet["retweeted"] and not tweet.has_key("retweeted_status")] to_add = [tweet for tweet in to_add if tweet["text"].startswith(triggers) or tweet["text"].split(" ",1)[1].startswith(triggers)]

Now we use two of python list comprehensions to filter out some tweets we don’t want to respond to. First off we don’t want to hammer everyone who retweeted a popular incredulous tweet by responding to each one of them that we can believe them, so we filter out any tweet that has the attribute 'retweeted_status’. Python list comprehension is of the form [output_var for output_var in list_of_somethings if some boolean] and it will return all output vars that fit that boolean. Remember that our list of tweets is actually a dictionary, so here we’re getting the value from the key “statues” in that dictionary which, confusingly, is a list of dictionary objects, each one representing all of the information about a single tweet. Maybe this will make it easier to understand:

{ "search_metadata": { "completed_in": 0.018, "count": 1, "max_id": 527860500495745024, "max_id_str": "527860500495745024", "next_results": "?max_id=527860500495745023&q=I%20can%27t%20believe&count=1&include_entities=1&result_type=recent", "query": "I+can%27t+believe", "refresh_url": "?since_id=527860500495745024&q=I%20can%27t%20believe&result_type=recent&include_entities=1", "since_id": 0, "since_id_str": "0" }, "statuses": [ { "contributors": null, "coordinates": null, "created_at": "Thu Oct 30 16:32:05 +0000 2014", "entities": { "hashtags": [ { "indices": [ 91, 108 ], "text": "EMABiggestFans1D" } ], "symbols": [], "urls": [ { "display_url": "pic.twitter.com/AqTidz72aK", "expanded_url": "http://twitter.com/larryslovedrunk/status/527692085357330432/photo/1", "indices": [ 109, 131 ], "url": "http://t.co/AqTidz72aK" } ], "user_mentions": [ { "id": 2475817085, "id_str": "2475817085", "indices": [ 3, 16 ], "name": "Maya is larry af !!", "screen_name": "louisxvoguex" }, { "id": 1212597271, "id_str": "1212597271", "indices": [ 19, 35 ], "name": "Styles \u2654", "screen_name": "larryslovedrunk" } ] }, "favorite_count": 0, "favorited": false, "geo": null, "id": 527860500495745024, "id_str": "527860500495745024", "in_reply_to_screen_name": null, "in_reply_to_status_id": null, "in_reply_to_status_id_str": null, "in_reply_to_user_id": null, "in_reply_to_user_id_str": null, "lang": "en", "metadata": { "iso_language_code": "en", "result_type": "recent" }, "place": null, "possibly_sensitive": false, "retweet_count": 8, "retweeted": false, "retweeted_status": { "contributors": null, "coordinates": null, "created_at": "Thu Oct 30 06:42:21 +0000 2014", "entities": { "hashtags": [ { "indices": [ 73, 90 ], "text": "EMABiggestFans1D" } ], "symbols": [], "urls": [ { "display_url": "pic.twitter.com/AqTidz72aK", "expanded_url": "http://twitter.com/larryslovedrunk/status/527692085357330432/photo/1", "indices": [ 91, 113 ], "url": "http://t.co/AqTidz72aK" } ], "user_mentions": [ { "id": 1212597271, "id_str": "1212597271", "indices": [ 1, 17 ], "name": "Styles \u2654", "screen_name": "larryslovedrunk" } ] }, "favorite_count": 6, "favorited": false, "geo": null, "id": 527712088631033857, "id_str": "527712088631033857", "in_reply_to_screen_name": null, "in_reply_to_status_id": null, "in_reply_to_status_id_str": null, "in_reply_to_user_id": null, "in_reply_to_user_id_str": null, "lang": "en", "metadata": { "iso_language_code": "en", "result_type": "recent" }, "place": null, "possibly_sensitive": false, "retweet_count": 8, "retweeted": false, "source": "Twitter for Android", "text": "\"@larryslovedrunk: I SWEAR I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE LOUIS TOMLINSON IS REAL\n#EMABiggestFans1D http://t.co/AqTidz72aK\" he's so cute and tiny aw", "truncated": false, "user": { "contributors_enabled": false, "created_at": "Fri Apr 11 09:06:45 +0000 2014", "default_profile": false, "default_profile_image": false, "description": "\u2661 may and loes are mine !! \u2661 and im in love with lou and his little things \u2661", "entities": { "description": { "urls": [] } }, "favourites_count": 2400, "follow_request_sent": false, "followers_count": 4717, "following": false, "friends_count": 3592, "geo_enabled": false, "id": 2475817085, "id_str": "2475817085", "is_translation_enabled": false, "is_translator": false, "lang": "en", "listed_count": 27, "location": "Louis a$$", "name": "Maya is larry af !!", "notifications": false, "profile_background_color": "C0DEED", "profile_background_image_url": "http://abs.twimg.com/images/themes/theme1/bg.png", "profile_background_image_url_https": "https://abs.twimg.com/images/themes/theme1/bg.png", "profile_background_tile": false, "profile_banner_url": "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_banners/2475817085/1414508621", "profile_image_url": "http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/527113360169791488/32mh2AYq_normal.jpeg", "profile_image_url_https": "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/527113360169791488/32mh2AYq_normal.jpeg", "profile_link_color": "A400B3", "profile_location": null, "profile_sidebar_border_color": "C0DEED", "profile_sidebar_fill_color": "DDEEF6", "profile_text_color": "333333", "profile_use_background_image": true, "protected": false, "screen_name": "louisxvoguex", "statuses_count": 8900, "time_zone": "Hawaii", "url": null, "utc_offset": -36000, "verified": false } }, "source": "Twitter for iPhone", "text": "RT @louisxvoguex: \"@larryslovedrunk: I SWEAR I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE LOUIS TOMLINSON IS REAL\n#EMABiggestFans1D http://t.co/AqTidz72aK\" he's s\u2026", "truncated": false, "user": { "contributors_enabled": false, "created_at": "Sat Apr 06 00:56:37 +0000 2013", "default_profile": false, "default_profile_image": false, "description": "Be strong tonight, remember who you are, you're a soldier now fighting in a battle to be free once more.

That’s the response for just one tweet! So we drop into the statuses half of that, and then check each tweet in that list to see if it has the attribute 'retweeted_status’. From there we cull the to_add list of things that don’t begin with one of our triggers, those triggers being things like “I can’t believe”. The reason we have this splitting nonsense in there is because we also want to catch responses which will look like “@jim I can’t believe it’s raining today!”

next we update our queue, by putting all of these new tweets at the end of it. This means that if there are still tweets we haven’t responded to we’ll get to them first, otherwise we’ll just respond to the first tweet we got in our response.

queue = queue + to_add

Next we’re going to truncate our queue. Why? Well Twitter is a big place, and tons of people seem to not be able to believe things on it. Due to Twitter rate limiting we can only respond to one tweet a minute, but if 20 people say “I can’t believe” every minute soon our queue will be 1140 elements long (each element being that huge mess posted above) and then you come back a day later to find that your server is out of disk space, or that your program can’t load your queue file in less than a minute and is crashing. Not good. So:

mx = max(len(to_add), 20) if len(queue) > mx: queue = queue[-mx:]

First we find the max between 20 and the number of tweets we got in our last request, with the thought being that 20 minutes should be enough time for people to start tweeting incredulity if we ever hit a dry spot. Using some fancy python string splitting we then truncate the list to those last mx elements, meaning that worst comes to worst we’ll always get one of the tweets from our last search to respond to. Well mostly. Then:

if len(queue) > 0: respond(twitter, queue.pop())

If there’s a tweet in the queue we send it off to our respond function, along with our twitter object. By using pop we will pull it off of our queue so that it doesn’t get responded to again. Note that there’s a slight error here, and if our call to twitter fails we won’t save this popped queue and we might try again with a bad tweet again later. Oops! Well I didn’t promise that I was infallible. One case where this will get annoying is if your bot ingests far less tweets and somehow tries to post a duplicate tweet (maybe you tweeted once to test that it worked but didn’t migrate the new queue, I don’t know). Lets look at respond:

def respond(twitter, top_tweet): name = top_tweet["user"]["screen_name"] twitter.update_status(status="@%s Oh, I can believe it!" %(name), in_reply_to_status_id=top_tweet["id"])

First we extract this person’s twitter name so that we can add it into our tweet. Then we use Python string replacement to tweet it back at them (using the optional value in_reply_to_status_id to make sure twitter understands which tweet we’re responding to as well). Then there’s just one more thing to do, which is to save the data, that is the info and queue json files.

dump(queue, info) def dump(queue, info): with open("queue.json", 'w') as f: json.dump(queue, f) with open("info.json", 'w') as fi: json.dump(info, fi)

Much like load we’re just calling the json dump function to store this data.

Then we call the function once a minute via cron, a standard linux utility that calls bash for us. WARNING: Since our libraries are contained in our virtual environement you will need to do some funky stuff to make sure it can use twython as downloaded in your virtualenv. It might look something like this:

*/2 * * * * cd /home/username/asheeshbot && /home/username/asheeshbot/bin/python /home/username/asheeshbot/bot_logic.py > /tmp/cronlog.txt

This will call cron from the project directory, using that project’s virtual env’s python to do so. The > is for storing error logs, which for some reason never seemed to catch anything, probably because it needs a %2 or something.

That’s it! We’re done, your twitter bot should be ready to go out and terrrorize the internet now! Next time I’ll talk about the process of testing code like this, as it can be frustrating to debug unless you have the proper tools.

Tumblr tags: #learning _________

Can I become Fluent in ______ in ______ months/weeks/days? No. You can’t.

Can I learn Japanese from just watching Anime/Korean from Kpop/Chinese from Wuxia films? Not on your life. Do you only speak the english you know from Spongebob? N’SYNC? The 300? Didn’t think so.

What about Rosetta Stone? For $180-$399 dollars? Are you insane? The program is built to teach you the Romantic languages. If you buy Rosetta stone for $400, and pass up every free resource on this list, I doubt your desire to actually learn anything. Don’t do it to yourself. That is a lot of money you probably won’t get back.

But I heard that Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Arabic/etc is really difficult: Well if over a billion Chinese people can speak Chinese, why can’t you? No really, don’t let something like this bother you. No, this is not the ease of moving from a English to a Romance language or German, but hey, if you wanted to learn German (and all those ridiculous cases) you’d be doing that.

But what about ______? I have knowledge on resources mostly limited to JPN/CHI/KOR classes. This is a participatory list, which I am more than grateful to take submissions for.
