Informing Poeple About KPOP
So for my English 132 class, we are writing a research paper on anything that interest us. My teacher to help us gave us the statement "Being in America." She said to fill in the blank and go about things that way. I was debating between writing about being vegan and being a kpop fan. in the end kpop won. (doesnt it always)
I have come to you beautiful, smart , all knowing people! I know this is a way to get a lot of info and material that would be really good for me to work with SO I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT IF YOU GUYS COULD COMMENT:
- SOMETHING BIG PEOPLE DONT USUALLY KNOW ABOUT KPOP
-SOMETHING THAT SUPRISED YOU ABOUT HOW THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS THERE COMPARED TO WHERE YOU ARE
-SOME ARTICLES OR MATERIAL YOUHAVE FOUND THAT TALKS ABOUT SOME OF THIS STUFF. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CARD @MadAndrea made find it here https://www.vingle.net/posts/1438558-K-pop-is-Infecting-the-World-in-a-good-way
-ALSO, I WANT TO KNOW HOW OLD YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU LIVE { so I can talk about all the different people this beauty brings together!}
BwolfgirlFinally done working in my room, so here are my thoughts on the differences between American and Korean music. K-pop isn't technically just pop music, it is just a broad term for all of the music, it includes all of the genres though - from indie to hip hop to rock to pop - whereas pop in American/English music is just that, pop music. Beyond that, as others have mentioned there is a far more rigorous process in order to get one's name out there - be it in a group or as a solo artist, and even that isn't guaranteed for success, look at groups like Topp Dogg, History, Michelle Lee - they all went through the crazy training and debuted but not a lot of people are talking about or know about them. They are put into terrible contracts where they don't get to see real profit until late into their careers; in America, some artists don't get to see profit until the second high selling song/album, but it's still far better than our idols (any information regarding BAP would help reference this, to cross reference I believe I heard Meghan Trainor didn't make any money off her popular song All About that Bass). As mentioned above, they sing and dance wonderfully, without taking away from the musical talent or experience, while many artists in this day and age in the pop culture are heavily auto-tuned and don't sound as good live/acoustic. Finally artists have been made to perform sick, injured, go on tour with such ailments, and this is often cancelled in the states. Beyond that, I would just say that there seems to be a greater diversity in the message in the songs and videos (positive body image in Just Right, social message about bullying with Nu'est debut song, GOD to my mother, Jay Park Mommae vs. My Last, 2ne1 Ugly, others here: http://saobservations.com/2012/07/25/kpop-songs-with-a-social-message/); whereas a lot of American music is focused on getting together, breaking up, drugs, sex, and alcohol - it's harder and harder to find a song that doesn't have this content in it on the radio [not saying it doesn't exist, just hard to find it as a popular song compared to kpop songs]. This is all I have right now. If I come up with anything else, I'll be sure to add it. Good luck on your paper, if you need any help, I'm great with writing and would love to be any help I can. Also sorry for the long read ^^;
bryyyaannaWhat surprises me is that they work really hard and actually sing live especially while dancing , also that it's completely normal to have a solo album in kpop while being in a band , meanwhile in America usually band memebers who have solo albums at solo artist that left the band , what people don't usually know about kpop is that ITS NOT ALL LIKE GANGMAN STYLE 😂 and kpop and kdramas do indeed help you learn the language ~Bryanna ,15, Arizona
KPOP in everyday life
So I was on Hulu catching up on Lucifer, when I had the unexpected joy of hearing some of my kpop babes. I was watching episode 5 to be exact. I don't know if you guys watch this show but I find it entertaining. the first song was by on of my long time ultimate biasis.
CL have been a bias of mine since I started listening to kpop and MTBD was the song that started the episode off. It caught me off guard but in one of those good ways. I thought that was all i was gonna get like when 2NE1s song was the song for that windows comercial, but it got better.
another of my babes. there was a gallery seen and when I heard the unmistakeable sound of this song I was so happy. I love hearing kpop songs from my favorites in things like commercials, and tv shows.
Some questions:
-Do you guys hear kpop or any Korean music in situations like this?
-Where have you heard some Korean songs that surprised you?
HELP ME LOVE MONSTA X
I listen to some Monsta x song and I have seems one music videos but I have never really looking into their names or anything like that. I have just enjoyed their music, UNTIL
This showed up on my YouTube and I watched it. I didn't realize it at the time but I had heard the song before. there was something about this version however that had me wanting and needing to learn more about them! I am now OBSESSED WITH THIS VIDEO AND SONG!
I began to attempt to learn names and such about them. From these profiles I found
but it wasn't really working for me so I figured. why not learn things in a fun way. SO HERE I AM! I was just wondering if you guys would help me learn about them and come to love them WOULD YOU ALL BE SO KIND AS TOO TAG ME IN THINGS THAT YOU HAVE MADE BEFORE OR WILL MAKE, OR THINGS THAT WILL JUST HELP ME LEARN ABOUT THEM!?!?!? for example: who's the shy, cute ,funny,etc. of the group, what their fan base is called and all the other lovely things there is to know!
THANKS!!!
MonAnnahiXIf you'd like. I can start tagging you in my cards? I try to update as soon as I can with any Monsta X news, funny momments, or inspiring moments. I've also made a Monsta X Study Guide ☺. You should look into some of our challenge questions too if you're trying to get to know them a little better!
@PrettieeEmm, @VeronicaOrtiz, @AimeeH, and @PassTheSuga are also good at making Monsta X cards.
If you're looking into watching any of their stuff to try to get to know them a little better. Some recommendations are: •1theK Monsta X Right Now (Reality show currently still airing) • 3 seasons of Deokspatch • Weekly idol Monsta X Guests •1thek the Qmentary Monsta X guests.
And if you want to see how they were chosen to debut into Monsta X you can watch No. Mercy (10 episodes). Just some options :) Sorry to throw everything at you.
BTS when they date
we all know these babes are cute funny and silly but I was doing some googling and found a fan work of them with girlfriends and it was to accurate for me not to share!
WHICH DO YOU PICK?
I can so see all of them doing this !! what do you think ?
honestly I don't know if i would be able to pick just one
BAbrajan1If would be hard to pick just ONE.. I mean, these dorks can be a bunch of goofballs, but let's be real.. They ALL have a big and kind heart.. They all have amazing personalities in their own individual ways.. They would be amazing boyfriends..
❤️❤️
The person who finds a boyfriend with all of these seven personalities will definitely hit the jackpot..
