Pop Culture

Now I’m thinking something which always entertains me everytime when I’m with it. Guess what? Yeah, music! World is full of musics. It’s not music that only about melody, rhythm, and others but all the interesting stuff about music. I like R&B, pop, jazz, and hip hop genre. But at this time, I want to discuss about Asian Cultures that actually have shocked all over the world. It’s not only for Asian people but American even European people. I think you all have heard about “K-Pop”, right? It stands for Korean Pop. When you surf the internet and look up on Google about K-Pop, they will bring you to the fact which shows off about the huge popularity of K-Pop itself. The fact? Yes, you guys should have known. They are boys bands and girls bands who have been overseas since the Hallyu wave hit the world entertainment industry. Such as Big Bang, Wonder Girls, JYJ, and 2NE1 have been promoting their musics though, and they surprisingly got so much love from the American fans and even they have taken over the Asia entertainment industry. They shooted for the music videos, they promoted their musics through a showcase, and now??? They make their own concerts, a huge one! And after all, you can see, Korea music industry has been building since 2000, they are well-known as good makers of dramas. As the time passes, people all copy the K-Pop styles, they even make a parody for music videos. And one thing I’ve been really impressed is their persistence to bring a new music through so many genres and they did it! They rule the faans, they rule the new perspective of music industry. In Korea, there are 3 big entertainment companies who always make the best of the best artists as long as K-Pop has existed, they are YG entertaiment who is led by Teddy, JYP entertainment who is led by Park Jin Young and he is well-known as a good singer too, and the last is SM entertainment who is owned by Kim Soo Man. They all made huge K-Pop artists and even Hollywood artist such as Rain, Big Bang, 2NE1, Gummy, Se7en, PSY, Tablo, Girls’ Generation, Super Junior, Shinee, BoA, TVXQ(They remain Yunho and Changmin), 2PM, Wonder Girls, Miss A,  2AM, and other old artists such as G.O.D., H.O.T., Shinwa. If there’s a friend who mocks about K-Pop say that “Music makes us one”.
