ヽ(ヽ´Д｀)｡･ﾟ･Hallyu Wave･ﾟ･。 (´Д｀ﾉ)ﾉ

Kpop or Korean pop has been rapidly sweeping through out Asia and other places in the world like: North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East, North Africa and Oceania. The Koreans have characterized this wonder as ‘Hallyu’.

I admit I am one of those people who have fallen for the Korean pop wave. Although I might not be able to understand every single word, there is something about the Korean pop music which attracts me to listen to it more. I am sure there are people out there in the world who agree with me (⌒v⌒)

For those who are new and has never heard of any kpop. My blog post is the one to read !! I shall start the wave for you all!! ヽ(´ー｀)ノ(ノ´ー｀)ノ(ノ´ー)ノ

The first song I decided for everyone to hear is Tae Yang’s Wedding Dress
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uthxUVMcYw )

Its unique sound mix of piano, electric, and the usual pop beats makes wedding dress an addictive song to listen to. Although you might not be able to understand Korean, the minimal English that is added gives you the idea that he is singing about love.  naww ・~ヾ(ﾟｰ^*) 

If this doesn’t make you want to keep listening then the next song may be more you style.

If you don’t like the electic up beat-y sad songs, another good song to listen to is the recent MBLAQ’s Mona lisa.

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SenkemTrZMQ )

The music feature instruments such as Maracas, guitar and accordion. Mona Lisa has that sound you would most likely hear in South American/Spanish music giving the song a South American/Spanish-y vibe. It is a very up beat song that makes you want to get up and start doing the tango or something haha!! 

For those people who love cute songs a good one is Balloons by DBSK
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcdwauRn394)  ,
Gee by SNSD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mPqycQ0tQ)  and
Super Junior – Haengbok also known as Happiness (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuRaKDCrFp0)

If all these don’t tickle your fancy there are always so much more out there! the good thing about the Korean pop industry is that there is different genres of music for different types of people. I’m just starting what could be a wonderful music experience!
OH and before I forget…for those who are interested in kpop and is in Australia there is a Kpop concert Coming on the 12^th of November 2011, be sure to come !! :D here is a link to the site: http://www.kpopmusicfest.com.au/

Hope these would tickle your pickle !

Peace
