K-pop

I have this new-found obsession with Korean music (k-pop). Well, as new-found as last August is. For some reason, it is extremely entertaining and catchy, even if you can't understand anything they are saying. It is kind of annoying when they get stuck in your head but you can't remember the Korean words they were saying so it just plays the same tune over and over and over in your head and it won't go away.... anyways! It is really fun when you can remember the words and people ask you to pick your favorite song to sing at a karaoke party- just stand back and look in awe at their star-struck faces as you spout a string of funny sounding words you don't even understand. PRICELESS.
I have a few particular songs that hold a lot of personal meaning to me. Some because of memories, what I was doing/thinking/feeling the first time I heard the song, and some because of what they are actually saying and how it has influenced me as a person. I like to look up the English translations to my favorite songs and see what they are actually saying. You would be surprised, I haven't found any with bad language or that talk about immorality- you don't see much of that in U.S. modern music ( another reason I choose it over our country's music).

Here are some lyrics from one of my favorite songs FACE by Nu'est (English translation)

If you look down on people, it’s bitter

There’s nothing to see below
There’s no one
Even if you jump, you’re just a flea
Even if you demand, you’re just a spot in front of me

This is a story about a dwarf and giant
But it`s gonna end just like David and Goliath
Keep up with my pace, if you can
Don’t lag Wil E.Coyote cuz I’m Road Runner, fast!

This song talks about bullying and how it is meaningless and empty. Earlier in the song it talks about how it doesn't matter what people say, you need to keep fighting and you can't stop for anything. This, along with many other songs, has strong moral standings- something I really admire in k-pop. 

Sierra and I have a blog on k-pop and a Facebook page if you wanna check them out. For the Facebook page, just look on my wall in my "likes". Here is the link to the blog:
