Why Are People Crying Over K-Pop?

I'm doing a 'MIC Drop' after this.

Why Are People Crying Over K-Pop?
theverge.com

K-Pop is a style of music that is becoming more popular around the world and for some reason, it's making everybody cry.

For people who don't really know what K-Pop is, it's a music genre originating in South Korea that consists of hip-hop, pop, rap, rock, R&B and electronic music. K-Pop can stand for Korean Pop or Korean Popular music. It sounds pretty awesome, right?

The real question is, why do people cry over K-Pop so much? I have a few good ideas why.


THERE, ARE. SO. MANY. MEMBERS. FOR. EACH. GROUP.

(Apeace, K-Pop boy band)

There are many members in K-Pop groups and, I'll admit it, I have an ultimate bias. Bias in K-Pop means you have a favorite member within a K-Pop group. But then there is also a bias wrecker, which is another member in a K-Pop group that also catches your attention and tests your love for your ultimate bias. This sounds like a hard thing to deal with, right?

(RM from BTS)

(V from BTS)

I'm obsessed with the Korean boy band BTS, but RM is my ultimate bias because I love his rapping and his smile is to die for. But I also get distracted by V's singing voice and his eyes, which are honestly driving me bananas! UM, HELP.


LOOK. AT. THEIR. STYLE.

(BTS, K-Pop boy band)

When you first look at a Korean boy band or a girl band, you immediately see that their style is on point! Also, look at their skin! I bet people are wondering how they get it to look so bright and clean! Where can I buy this Korean magic face wash!? Where do they buy their clothes from!? They all look so pretty it's ridiculous!


THEIR. DANCING. IS. INCREDIBLE.

Their voices are like angels flying through the clouds of heaven. Don't believe me? Listen to Sweet Lies by EXO.

As for people like me who don't speak Korean, they make it sound like a beautiful and soothing language. It's so pretty and this alone makes me want to cry. Though let's not forget the subtitles for their music on YouTube because knowing their actual words makes things 30 times more cry-able but in a good way!

Final Thoughts

I can see why K-Pop makes people cry because they are just so amazingly talented and good-looking, to the point where it hurts. Their style draws you in, their music speaks a different language, they dance like there is no tomorrow, and there are so many K-Pop bands to pick from!

I have been listening to so much K-Pop lately and I'm absolutely in love. I recommend people check it out! Listening to different music from different countries, with lyrics in languages other than English is interesting and a good way to broaden your cultural horizons. You might just turn into a K-Pop fan!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
