Hello every one, its been two weeks, sadly.
I did plane on getting into a habit and writing a blog every Sunday night after church but iv just been way to busy. But, today I have some free time before I go out. So, I decided to write about the type of music iv been into lately.
The type of music I'm really into right now is called K pop ( Korean pop music). As you have probably already guessed its Korean music. Iv never really been into pop, I was always more of a scream-o type girl, until discovered k pop.
Now your probably wondering why I got into k pop well the reason is music is language. So, when ever I'm on a quest to learn a new language I get really into the music. So, right now I am learning Korean. So, it totally makes scenes, that I would be so into Korean Pop music. Not only does it expos me to other music cultures it also helps me with the speaking pronunciation, understanding and listening. I would really suggest if you want to learn a language, get into there music and listen to it twenty for seven. I know my parents and siblings even can speak some Korean know because of my constant playing of the music. Trust me it really works.
But, that's not the only reason why I like k pop. I like it because it is different from most music hear in Canada. Its up beet and very catchy Also all the singers are really talented at dancing and the Flower boys, awh yaaeh, need I say more. They are so good looking, if your the type of girl who likes boys that sometimes look better then you. I'm not really that type of girl But, then again I admire the fact that the boys can were make up and be confident about it. Canadian boys playing hockey isent the only manly thing you can do, hint, hint.
Anyway, I have to admit a lot of the k pop boys don't really have that manly look witch did turn me away from the music at first But, I came to the realization that if I wanted to get into that type of music and learn about Korean pop culture I needed to understand and get over the fact that the boys don't go for manly they go for pretty boy, flower boy looks. After a bit I did find some boy k pop groups that were very pretty boy and manly at the same time. B.A.P.'s Bang Young Guk, ah Sa-rung-a.
But, enough about the boy groups boys. The girl groups are also very different from the girl singers in Canada and in the US. The girls of the Korean pop industry run on the side of high pitched voices, modesty witch is a plus. and just way to much Ayego. Now, I have to admit I'm not as much of a fan of the girl groups as I am of the boy groups because first off, I am a teenage girl and I like boys. what girl would' ent. Second the girl groups are really girlie, like way over the top girlie and pinky. I'm more of a lets be in a dark room and sleep all day sort of girl. One thing that did surprise me about the girl groups was the fact that they were very modest, way more modest then the people in our pop culture they let nothing show and there songs are all about being pretty cute and having faithful boy friends.The thing that I can not stand about the girl groups and some of the boy groups is the Ayego. Ayego is when some one acts overly cute and frilly just all around annoying girl or boy, and I must say that was the hardest part to get into because the boy groups also do Ayego, and its in there dramas and movies. Ugggg.
(All there groups are modest regardless of the gender.)
Well enough about that, what I did find really interesting when I started listening to k pop was the fact that they have barley any lone singers, like lee hi, Insoone, gummy, and Ailee. Most of the Idols are in groups. But, not small one to three people groups, no, groups of like five to 13 people. Its crazy that was one of the harder things for me to get uses to. But, makes for nice music video storeys, they have huge casts of people.Sometimes the big groups, I think are not always good because they have to have like one or two lines of singing. But another cool thing is they break the big groups in half and have sub groups who go and promote the groups in other parts of the world.Witch I personally thing is really a smart move on the managements part.
There are over 100 different k pop groups out making music this year some in big groups and some singles. Some of my personal favourites are : Lee Hi, B.A.P., SNSD, Super Junior, Exo-M, Infinite Vixx, Kara, and many many more, I don't really get into the group per say. I find the song and if I like it I look up the group to see if they have any more songs that I would like.
Well this is getting way to long and iv probably have already bored you with my long explanation of why I love k pop. Ill probably will write another some other day because I haven't said all I wanted to say.
But, this is getting way to long and you and I both have lives, but I did make up for the last two weeks I think.
Well thast all for now.
Over and out.
Li-ah
