K-Pop Music, Anyone?

Since last month, I've been dying to download and listen to Korean pop songs everyday. I think I should blame my classmate Sanet for getting me hooked into the Korean music, like her *laughs*. Actually, I have been hearing backgrounds about some well-known Korean pop group but I never heard their music before... not until now. Some music channels are playing their videos, some shows are dancing to their rhythm, I mean, it's everywhere. That's how fast K-pop (shortcut for Korean pop) corrupt our music streamline.



"I want nobody, nobody but you..." *humming* I've been singing this zillion of times every time I heard the song Nobody. I bet, you can't resist the pretty and wonderful WONDER GIRLS! The group consists of really young and talented Yubin, Ye-Eun, Sohee, Sunmi, and my crush, Sunye. Last year, the MNet KM Music Festival Awards hailed the group as the "Best Female Group", and received the awards "Song of The Year" and "Best Music Video" for their single, Nobody. They had already released 4 albums namely The Wonder Begins, The Wonder Years, So Hot, and The Wonder Years Trilogy. Better watch the video, and imitate the moves!



How do you pronounce their group name? "two-and-e-one?" "two-ne-one?" Err. I think you must listen to their songs first. Philippines, I present you 2NE1. There are two ways to pronounce their name, it's "twenty-one" (say it with more slang, twe-nee-one) or "to anyone". Either of those, fine. Wait a second, take a look at the faces above. The girl in yellow looks familiar? Yeah, it's Sandara Park (a.k.a Dara), the runner-up of the artista search reality show Star Circle Quest Season 1. How did she get into the group? IDK. Together with Bom, CL, and Minzy, the all-girl group has been booming the charts with their first single Fire. They had also released their first self-entitled album, including the song Lollipop, a collaboration with the all-male hiphop group, Big Bang. And so, the so-called "Krung-Krung" before, is now a big Korean pride!

How do I love K-Pop? A LOT. <3<3<3
