So we hear about so-called "K pop" these days, and your friend talk about it. What is, then, Korean popular music, really?

It is relatively a new phenomenon in the USA, and even a later development compared to K pop in Europe or Asia. It is clearly happening as we are speaking right now, and I would like to tell you what K pop is, and what it means to us, the young generation of 2010s.I just have limited amount of resources to find out just about every aspect of K pop music, singers, and their influences in the society. But what is even more challenging for me is that, how will I know what kind of thing YOU will be interested? Thus your contribution to this blog will be very crucial.

There is another reason why subscriber's contribution is so important; since this blog is written in English, we only have limited people who can read about K pop, while there are K pop lovers outside of English-speaking nations. So where English-speaking K pop lovers are in terms of information, I would have to know (by the way, I am Korean) in order to blog in a level that is making sense to YOU.

Well, let's begin from here:

have you heard about K pop? Tell me what you know about it! If you just
don't have any idea what it is, then what would you like to know about it?

Comment anything that you feel like it is necessary for me to post on. Comments can be as silly as possible, it just does not matter to me as long as it makes sense! :)

Just some infos about K pop:

1. K pop artists are holding concerts just about everywhere on this planet; Vietnam, Thailand, Germany, France, Korea (huh!), Japan, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, USA,Australia, England... you name it!
2. These are not concerts attended by Korean diasporas around the world. In fact, the majority are from their respective regions!
3. In Korea (as of now), official K pop artists are about 100 in number. Let's talk about what's here deeply on the next post.

Right now, I want some comment for me to prepare for posts after that second post, which I will write tomorrow. Please comment below!
