Reading K-pop
The great influence of Korean pop music has been dragging in many people around the world which is a known fact. K-pop is a sub-category of the pop music genre and it is there to be listened to. Because, basically, we listen to music. However, there is more than just “listening to music” when it comes to K-pop. As an individual who has enjoyed K-pop for almost 10 years now, I know for a fact that speaking about K-pop, reading about K-pop, writing about K-pop is also part of the nature of K-pop music.
Now, we all know that the media has taken great part in the music industry since Beethoven ages and this doesn’t mean that speaking, reading and writing about K-pop is breaking news. What breaking news is that a large part of the K-pop fans/community use Twitter and Instagram to talk it out. Thinking about the changes in media, the normal and most trendy way to talk about things in general is social media, without a doubt.

BUT. I love to convey my thoughts freely. And I want to read other people’s thoughts without clicking a picture and reading from notes application. (If you are a K-pop fan, you know what I mean for sure.) I think it would be better to read the thoughts on comebacks, albums, debuts, concerts, themes, promotions and many more in a place where the reading is the original purpose. Long story short, I came here to do that. It is not that I’m expecting to cause a splash but I hope this little attempt of mine can be a great influence to others, just like K-pop 😊
