Why "FOCUS ON ME" Became the Ultimate KPop Cover Challenge in Seoul

For UK-based Jus2 fan Alison, a trip to Seoul wasn’t complete without stepping into the shoes of her favorite Jus2 subunit. At KING STUDIO, a professional K-Pop recording hub in Gangnam, she transformed from a casual listener to an artist interpreting Jus2’s sultry R&B masterpiece FOCUS ON ME—a track celebrated for its hypnotic blend of dark beats and sensual vocals.

The song’s lyrics, co-written by JB and Yugyeom, revolve around intense eye contact and mutual attraction, themes Alison connected with deeply. “Focus on me / You and me” became more than lyrics—they framed her 2-hour journey to embody the song’s magnetic energy under the guidance of KING STUDIO’s veteran producers.

Inside the KPop Experience: From Vocal Coaching to Studio Magic

1. Pre-Recording: Decoding the "FOCUS ON ME" Vibe

KING STUDIO’s vocal directors analyzed the track’s technical nuances with Alison:

• Breathy Vocals: The song demands controlled, intimate delivery—a style perfected through mic techniques used by artists like Park Hyo-shin.
• Lyric Nuances: Staff provided romanized Korean lyrics and translation sheets to help Alison articulate phrases like “묘한 긴장감이 맴돌 때” (When a strange tension lingers).
• Beat Sync: Producers highlighted the track’s 90 BPM tempo, guiding Alison to match Yugyeom’s smooth ad-libs.

2. The Recording: Idol-Level Production

The Diamond Package  included:

• Studio A: A soundproof booth with Neumann U87 microphones—the same used in EXO and Red Velvet sessions.
• Real-Time Mixing: Engineers adjusted reverb to mirror the song’s atmospheric depth.
• Language Support: English-speaking staff bridged communication gaps during coaching.

“Hearing my voice blend with JB’s harmonies was surreal,” Alison recalls. “It felt like a duet with my idols.”

3. Post-Production: From Raw Take to KPop-Ready Track

KING STUDIO’s 24-year veteran producer Aiden applied:
