I was asked the other day about Korean music, so I feel like it’s about time I get this post finished. Korean music is probably one of the things I will remember most about my time here. K-Pop is everywhere, you’ll find it blaring from cell phone shops, in a cafe, the grocery store or in the traditional markets. Not only is it everywhere, but everyone loves and knows it, especially the inevitable choreographed dance that goes along with the song.
K-Pop is that kind of music that ends up getting in your head and you just can’t get it out. The biggest ‘problem’ though is that usually only the chorus is in English so you’ll find yourself singing along to words that you don’t understand and can barely pronounce or you just end up repeating the same words over and over again.
I’m going to miss the K-Pop. It’s always good for dancing and usually pretty catchy. Here are some samples for you to enjoy!
This was really popular when we first arrived. Jacob made up his own words to the song.Chocolate Love
No look at K-Pop would be complete without including G-Dragon, he sings Heartbreaker.
Zanelle, this one is for you.
This song is currently one of our favourites.
My all time personal favourite and the song that made us famous at a local bar: Sorry Sorry by Super Junior
I feel like I’m watching forever 21 the musical…
When I got back to Canada I watched a lot of Kpop music videos. I think my favorite is Juliette by Shinee. The dancing and tie dye is awesome and one of the singers reminds me of Michael Jackson (a little bit)! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9d2fMJ2ZU1A
Sorry sorry was stuck in my head several weeks after I left Asia…catchy is an understatement!! I can’t wait for another live performance in Canada!
