K-Pop(SouthKorea PopMusic)

Post Reply New Topic

^^ The funny thing is, though I'm a Korean myself I started to have interests in K-pop only a few months ago when Murihiku posted a K-pop on a thread..He kind of opened my ears..He never knew that his post made me wander around Youtube searching for more K-pops. I'm still a newbie in K-pop as well.

And if you have questions about Korean culture or language, feel free to ask me..but I don't check posts frequently so my responding could be delayed but I won't ignore any questions in this thread.

^ My interest in kpop started yeeears ago, but im not korean xD Haha, thats awesome how that persons post have gotton you into kpop, i actually think thats how a lot kpop-fans interest in kpop started I dont even remember how exacly i found kpop tho
So you are korea? Nice, i will probably have a lot questions haha, i will try to not ask more than one at once xD Are you living in korea or in another country?
And what groups are you into?

I was born in Korea and I've lived in Korea my entire life.
I don't have any desire to move to other country actually. I'll die here haha.
(And ..I ask you don't ask me questions about personal things in advance I'm not saying you asked personal things..heh you know...just in advance I had to say I really don't like to disclose personal things when I don't know well enough who he/she is..)

I'm into EXO.

Haha dont worry i wont ask you personal questions The reason i asked was because im thinking of traveling to seoul for a vacation So if you lived there you might knew some helpful things


Ah, exo! I used to be SO obsessed with them haha, i still enjoy their music a lot and like the members 'Call me Baby' was one of my favorite songs of 2015 and their album was great

^^I don't know why people want to travel to Seoul lol, maybe to experience some new technologies in IT?
Why Seoul?


On 2nd page in this thread there are some EXO's music videos. I quoted Call me baby for you.

I actually have some friends who did travel to seoul for vacation, they say that it was an amazing experience and had a lot of fun
And my reason for choosing Seoul is probably because its the biggest city there, and as a huge shopping lover im always choosing hotels at the big cities to stay I also want to see some other places there like jeju, but im mainly gonna stay i seoul


Yey im listening to it right now, its so catchy Exo has so many great songs~
Do you have any favorite member?

^Good to hear that.

My favorite member of EXO is Kai, this is one of his teasers.

Wow, Drawyer. I didn't know that I was the person who got you into K-pop. And nice to meet you, DoesItMatter. Welcome to WP.

As for me, I got into K-pop because of a hip-hop choreographer named Parris Goebel (I've been a fan of her dance crew, ReQuest, for years). Back in 2013 she posted on Facebook about choreographing a K-pop song called "Ringa Linga" (dance performance video) by Taeyang. At the time I didn't really know anything about K-pop other than "Gangnam Style", so I decided to check it out. I liked the video enough to look up more K-pop songs and eventually I started liking the whole genre. My favourite groups include Big Bang, BTS, 2NE1 and the indie band Nell.

And yeah, I'd like to travel to Seoul one day, too. I suppose it's not that different from any other holiday destination, but it'd be nice to see for myself different things I've seen about Korea through K-pop and Korean TV shows – especially Korean food. Hopefully I'll be able to speak the language by then, too. Same with North Korea: it'd be nice to actually visit the country for myself (rather than just hearing about it on the news) and speak to the locals in their own language.

I don't watch/read things in Korean language in general that's one of reasons why I don't know about what's going on here in Korea. I have interests in other languages than my own language. I don't really care about things that aren't directly related to my special interests.

By the way, you want to visit NK? I've never wanted that...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I love living in Australia, but I don't need to spend time looking up anything on it. I know more than enough about this country just living my daily life here. I spend more time trying to learn about other places in the world.

I particularly like unique, out-of-the-way places, such as North Korea and Bhutan. Plus if I'm going to learn about Korean culture, it seems reasonable to check out both halves of the previously unified country. I'm neither South Korean nor American, so there would be fewer restrictions for me to travel to North Korea. South Korea shouldn't be a problem either, hopefully.

Love K-Pop, been a K-Pop fan for 3-4 years now, I keep an eye out for new songs and comebacks regularly multiple biases and my phone playlist is full of Hangul titles, basically I started listening when I was 14 or 15 and the first group I discovered was SS501, then Girls Generation, SHINee, 4Minute etc and it pretty much escalated from there. I'm now 18. Fave K-Pop channel on YouTube to stay updated is 1Thek or to catch up with monthly charts. There are people who like and upload K-Pop here too so that's fabulous. Also the poster here is Korean? I want to learn more about Korean Food, the best stuff to eat in big cities like Seoul and what it's like to live in South Korea. Also have someone close studying Korean. ^ ^

They are all guys. I heard that many thought that the long hair(Tae-Min) is a girl. No, he's a he.

Ah I undeerstand you guys, also i dont really follow things from the country i live in, and actually dont have much interesting in the tings there.. i know much more about kpop than the music in my country lol


@Drawyer, so your favorite exo member is Kai? Nice choice, i like him a lot too!
And thanks for posting the lucifer mv, i love that! I remember how popular Taemin got when this came out haha, also i think shinee got a lot new fans from that, catchy song and the guys looks so good xD


@Callmesisixoxo, woah you are also a long time kpop fan! That make me think of... is this my 7th year as kpop fan..?!

Glad to see you here again, DoesItMatter. And happy that you liked Lucifer mv.
You know you're welcome to post any MVs you want here if they are related to Kpop. Actually I don't care even if they have nothing to do with Kpop lol. So anyway which song should I upload? Any recommendation?
