I find it quite awkward that I’m starting to like Korean Pop. Ever since the Wondergirls became a big hit in my home country, I’ve found myself listening to others a lot too. Here is the song that they became successful in the Philippines for:
It’s quite ‘cringe-worthy’ in my opinion but I have to admit that it is catchy. However, the other artists that have caught my attention are Taeyang (aka Dong Young-bae or Sol) thanks to a friend and his obsession, BoA (aka Boa Kwon), 2NE1, Girls’ Generation and there is probably more that I haven’t discovered yet. I like some of them for the cheesiness but I also like others because it makes me want to dance (especially Taeyang’s songs).
It’s strange, normally I would think this genre is just too cheesy for me and I would avoid it but I like it for some reason and I think it may be because it can only just make you smile and laugh sometimes (depending on the song) and it distracts you from your troubles. I don’t know, maybe I’m just weird and I have a weird taste but I don’t care. People aren’t supposed to be judged on any grounds so if I like some genres of songs, it shouldn’t be an excuse to make fun of or judge.
*ahem*
