Continuation of last week - what’s new?

Optional discussion questions:

  • Do you know any Korean?
  • Do you listen to any OST songs? If so, which is your favourite?
  • When did you get into k-pop?
  • What was the first k-pop song you heard?

Looking forward to seeing what everyone says.

    The first K-pop song I heard was most likely Gangnam Style; I think it’s the first K-pop song everyone heard lol.

      Haha.

      I had actually heard Rain when Ninja Assassin came out in 2009, not sure what song we listened to though. Then BIGBANG won the EMAs in 2010 with Tonight and I really liked that.

    My most listened to song was Adelyn Paik - Cupid, by a country mile. Over 30 times and my next most listened to song had 3 spins.

    Top 3 artists are Adelyn Paik, Baekhyun, and Le Sserafim.

    No Korean outside of the odd word here or there.

    I’d say I got into kpop in 2013, but I’d known of it/liked it for years prior.

    I do listen to OSTs. My favs are probably Chen & Suho - Beautiful Accident or Chen - Rainfall. But honestly, there are so many good ones, it’s hard to pick a favorite.

    Edit: Actually, I had to look it up, but my favorite OST would be EXO-CBX - Crush U. I was thinking it was on one of their albums, but it was actually part of the Blade & Soul soundtrack.

    As always, let me know if these posts suck and I can stop. Also let me know if you’d rather do it on a different day of the week

    I haven’t been listening to much k-pop this week. I guess Chanmina might count, but I’ve been listening to the j-pop stuff. Otherwise Black Sabbath. Some Ash-B too, but not much
