What is k-pop? K-pop is Korean pop music that originated in South Korea. It is sung and performed by Koreans, and in some cases, Chinese boys and girls in groups.
Basically, they are boy and girl bands, but with many more members than American boy bands. The number of members in a group can range anywhere from four to 13 members. Below are the top five reasons why you should be listening to k-pop.
1. The dance routines are always on point.
When I say on point, I mean on point. The members of k-pop groups train for a really long time before they debut. In most cases, the members train for years before showing what they are made of.
2. They sound amazing.
Just as they're training to learn how to dance for years, they are also training to learn how to sing. When they learn how to sing, they learn how to sing. K-pop stars have amazing voices, a lot of them have better voices than some American singers.
3. There is a member for everyone.
There is always a member for everyone. In the world of k-pop, there is a person that is known as your bias. Your bias is your favorite member out of all of the whole group. Since k-pop groups have the potential to get huge, you will sometimes have more than one favorite member.
4. The production value of the music videos is amazing.
When it comes to production value, k-pop music videos have America beat by a long shot. It is obvious that a lot of work goes into the making of the videos. It pays off because I am always in love with a lot of the k-pop videos that I see.
5. There are many groups to choose from.
There are more than enough groups to choose when it comes to k-pop. A few I recommend are Seventeen, EXO, and BTS. Some really good girl groups to listen to that I should listen to more, are f(x) and 4Minute.
