Good K-Pop?

[fanmail]

I'm looking to expand my K-Pop, and need a bit of help! So far, I have albums by~

Ivy
Lexy
Lee Hyori
BoA
Rain
Se7en

Any other good people? Peferably female, and R&B, but if they're pop, then I don't mind. No males though.

You should try WOnder girls they're pretty good, btw where did you find music for Ivy, I've been looking everywhere for some music by her...

lol Fanny

I don't know much about K-Pop & sadly I only heard of a few acts .

I heard K is supposed to be good & also Shinhwa which's Korean's most famous boyband I guess since they have been together for a decade long

you maybe want to try John Hoon also ?

I love Girls' Generation! They're so cute. Wonder Girls are fug, don't listen to them.
Son Dam Bi is hawt too.

[Aga-chan]

If you don't know J by now, then check her out. She's a female singer, who also has R&B-type songs. So she should be just right for you. ^^

Wonder Girls was definitely a good choice!

Girls' Generation is my favorite K-Pop band. Don't worry. They have some cute songs, but they mostly sing pop and ballads. And even if some are younger than some MM members, they have incredible vocals. I uploaded their whole discography here:

And under my sig!

If you want really good hip-hop: Epik High (though it's male)
If you want really good rock/pop: Nell (though it's male too) I also uploaded one of their albums in AHS.

I really like the band Rumble Fish too. It's pop/rock.

Other female pop/r&b band:
- The Grace
- KARA
- Baby V.O.X
- Jewelery

And great pop singers/vocalist:
- Younha (nobody mentioned her? one of the best in k-pop IMO)
- JOO

oh, well that's okay. as long as they aren't lame and cheesy

Why no males? Korean music right now has a lot more great male artists than female. Still, here are three of the most popular female acts in Korea right now, along with some recommended tracks by each.


소녀시대 Sonyô Shidae (Girl's Generation) is pretty well-known now, too. Think Morning Musume, but with serious, Korean talent. They're basically the female answer to Super Junior. Their sound is very girly, cutesy, bubblegum dance-pop.

Recommended: 소녀시대 (Girls' Generation); Kissing you; Merry-go-round; Honey (소원); 다시 만난 세계 (Into the new world)


Wonder Girls are very, very popular right now. 5 cheeky girls, much edgier than Sonyô Shidae. They're produced by JYP who basically made Rain who he is. Their style is very R&B and urban dance, sometimes a little bit 80's synth-poppy.

Recommended: 이바보; Tell Me; Good Bye; Bad Boy; Irony


天上智喜 The Grace Ch'ôn Sang Ji Hûi The Grace (TSZX The Grace) is fantastic. It's made up of four girls with powerhouse voices who each did their own thing before being put together. Their vocals blow everyone else out of the water. Their sound is generally R&B- or soul-influenced pop, reminiscent of BoA's Korean work.

Recommended: 한번 더, OK? ― One More Time, OK?; 女友 (그녀들의 수다) ― Girl Talk; RENEW (사랑할 땐, 좋아할 땐); 4월의 첫날 ― April Fools' Day; 열정 My Everything; Catch the shooting star; The Club (Feat. 비); Boomerang; Dancer In The Rain; 아니기를 ― Not To Be

^ I'm not really into males that much. Male voices in general put me off. I don't know why, I'm just not really into how they sound =/

But thanks for The Grace, I heard about them when they made their Japanese stuff, but never checked out their Korean stuff

[milky_way]

Have you listened to Gummy yet?

[fanmail]

^ Nope. Is she good?
