I can't remember if I heard Lee Jung Hyun or BoA first. Either way, it was one of these two songs:

..I still don't know how to post Youtube videos correctly :\

8eight's No One Cries Because They Want To. My first korean song and one of the very few korean songs I have.

BoA's "Nobody But You," back in 2003. I should listen to that again...

Example: <youtube>qwNz_anqd2U</youtube> for the last one, but of course use [] instead of <>. Only put the number/letter combo after v= in between the two.

It works :):

As for me it is very funny: My first Korean song was "Cutie Honey". So, at first I heard an Ah-Yoo-Me (Ayumi Lee, now ICNQ, but I'm sure, that you know this, of course!) version in Korean and only in one year I learned that this song's originally Kuu's song and it was translated to Korean! I was so surprised!

"Tell me" by Wonder Girls, I think. :D It was somewhere in 2008 or 2009, I'm not quite sure but I didn't become interested in k-pop that much. I wish I had though since it's awesome and has no eaten my soul. <3

But the song that got me really into this awesome music was either Hyun Ah's Change or 2NE1's Fire. Not quite sure lol. :D

either Lies or Haru Haru by Big Bang

it was (and IS) so popular and everybody knew it~

Lee Soo Young - Hwillilli

Still from one of the best (if not the best) Korean album I've ever listened to.

That was one of my firsts too! I like the Japanese version of it too. And thanks for the explanation. I'll remember that :D

BoA was my first Korean artist I discovered in 2001. And first song was ID Peace B(Korean). However, back then my Japanese was so lousy that I didn't even realize the song wasn't in Japanese. I even thought Korean looked like alien writing when I first saw it.:P

Kiss- Because I'm a Girl... oh how the music scene has changed since then

Endless Love drama OST since my mom is a huge fan of K-dramas since I was a kid so yeah :laugh
The first Korean song I loved was Jang Nara's Sweet Dream though~

it's still one of my fav 8Eight song ever :heart

Most definitely a BoA song...which I do not know. I would guess ID; Peace B.

That was Rain's (Bi) - I'm Coming (feat. Tablo). Still one of my fav. Rain's songs.

La La La - Lee Soo Young
Grace - Lee Soo Young

I'm sure it was one of these....

Well, it kinda does! LOL!!

My first song was either MIROTIC by Tohoshinki or Jiggy by F.CUZ whichever came out first :)
But the first one, the real one, was some random Se7en song that someone I know sent me. I didn't like it, deleted it and forgot about it :P

Kiss - Because I'm a Girl / Kim Bum Soo - Bogoshipda.

MIROTIC / DBSK

:heart

no idea, probably a BoA song. She was definitely the first Korean artist i listened to, knowing it was Korean.So im gonna say...Girls on Top or Spark probably

I remember like it was yesterday...."Abracadabra" by Brown Eyed Girls. Someone had a avi from the video on Last.fm and I asked who's was it. It went uphill from there. Fast forward a couple of years and here I AM! <3

I honestly don't remember what my first Korean song was...It was years ago. But I'm pretty sure it was probably something from BoA, I'm thinking maybe it was "Every Heart."
