Kpop For Beginners..! (Can you help me?)

Nov 2, 2012 11:09 pm

Hi Everyone, After spending almost 6 months of exploring the land of Kdramas, I would love to check out Kpop too! I've heard a lot about it, and about groups like Big Bang, JYJ, Shinee, etc. But, because I am still completely clueless, I have no idea where to start! So, please tell me what your favorite bands are, and if possible give me specific songs that you think are good/great/wonderful! I would love anyone's help! :) Thanks! P.S. I am open to any kind of music - from the world of idols to alternative... Anything and everything!

There are soo many groups out there with different concepts. It'd be hard to list them all or like them all. My favorites personally are Big Bang, SHINee, B1A4, B.A.P., 2NE1 Other groups I like: Infinite, Teen Top, MBLAQ, 2PM,CN Blue, LED Apple, Lunafly, NU'EST, Secret, SS501, Super Junior, U-Kiss, Block B etc.. Solo Artists: Jay Park, Seo In Gook, Ailee, IU Honestly what I did when I go into Kpop was watch one music video on youtube and then on the side are suggestions and I'd just click the suggestions. I found some of my favorite groups that way. Just keep clicking and keep watching. You'll eventually figure out which groups you like and groups you don't like. I also go on AllKpop.com and that site updates me on new MVs that come out. I watch almost every new MV release as well. That's how I discovered the super talented rookie group Lunafly and my love for Block B. If you want to get to know your favorite groups better then watch their variety shows. There are plenty of awesome subbing sites out there like Daebaksubs.com or kshownow.net or you can just google "*enter name of group here* variety shows". Pretty soon you'll be obsessed. Like me haha. I mean have you seen my profile. It's full of kpop. It's like a drug. Asian dramas plus Kpop equals no life. Your time will be spent watching hot asian men rather than having a life. <- Life of a fangirl.

If you're wanting to check out some indie music try looking up Eat Your Kimchi's K Indie Crunch on youtube. They have a ton of kpop reviews and Indie video playlists that are worth looking at.
