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.
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)
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!
