Are you interested in K-Pop?

[zellyx]

Just a little bit. (:
Jpop is more my thing, but I can't resist some of the really catchy songs of course...
Sorry Sorry, Mirotic, Genie (Tell me your Wish), Gee, Bo Peep, Oh! (SNSD), Heartbreaker, to name a few. I'm always up for recommendations, as long as they're catchy. For whatever reason I can listen to ANYTHING of Jpop, but when it comes to Kpop it must be pop/dance or mainstream.

[teppei_chan92]

SuJu, Wonder Girls, Brown Eyed Girls, Kara, 2PM, 2AM, SNSD n of course DBSK

[JackieRos]

does anyone listen to After School?
I've been looking for their thread and nothin

[primavera♥]

how about. can someone introduce to me to a kpop artists . . .that doesnt sound like every washed out american boy band from the early 2000s. and girl groups that have sincerely deep and unique songs that arent overly generic? please. then ill listen to kpop ^___~ (btw i liked BoA but then i was like. i could just listen to Beyonce or something XD) (can u try to relate to my opinion too. i know its hard)

to me kpop is like rap music. i will dance to it at a dance or party (im not club age yet XD)
but it lacks any sentimental value for me and does nothing special or surrealish for me
and typically it sounds generic and the boy bands sound the same to my ears who have gotten over american boy bands after i turned 7 yrs old. they sing but to me they dont make music.

ive listenend to a few more popular songs from each band and frankly im not gonna be hearing kpop at dances (except the multicultral club full of koreans at my school that im in that used a little for the dance contest)
-i have really picky taste in music
soooo any suggestions?

[noisy_harmony]

Yes (checking OMONA they didn't LJ many times per day xD) And it's not only DBSK and BoA. I don't have a band/artist which I don't like. But I can't keep up with that huge number of boybands and girlband nowadays xDDD

I could help you, but what kind of music do you like? As in, what genre? Pop, urban, hip-hop, indie pop, indie rock, modern rock, alternative, bossa nova, electronica, acid jazz, lounge, acoustic, r&b?

Also, anything that is popular is usually "generic". Yes, there's a lot of catchy pop songs in Korea that are really popular but don't necessarily have deep lyrics. But there's so much more to discover. For example, SNSD's hits are mostly "generic". But they also have really powerful and beautiful ballads. Like almost all girl groups (After School, KARA, Secret, Wonder Girls...). But excluding groups like 2NE1 and 4minute that has only released dance songs so far. Most groups will promoted catchier and brighter song because they are usually bigger hits. But it doesn't mean they only sing dance songs.

SNSD's "Dear Mom" always makes me wanna cry.

[Far Away]

Yes, I looooove Kpop. I used to not, though. I mean, aside from the occasional BoA song in Korean and some really random stuff like OST songs, I just didn't listen to Kpop at all. One day a friend of mine let me listen to an OST song from Jisun (Farewell Without Farewell) and it got me interested in her, so I checked out the song she did with Epik High (One) and just fell in love from there. <3

[mellody]

I need to get into it more. Korean is the next language I want to learn

[yuki_unmei]

"Just a little bit"
It took me forever to get into Korean music at all D:
But i still only know a few artists/groups.

[toniayu]

a little

[Midori-chan]

No

I listen to some songs here and there, but that's it.

[Cherry Dynamite]

I was a little bit but now I completely lost interest.

[Kanzaki]

I'm interested, but I don't really seem to like it. I check out a couple of new releases every now and then, but nothing speaks to me really :/
