I know you all are just dying to know what sort of music is popular in Korea. Well, let me tell you, they sure love Justin Timberlake and Beyonce. However, home brewed Korean pop music is similar but definitely more bubble gum like.
The song that I will forever remember of my Fall in Korea will be this song:
The name of the group is called Big Bang, the name is in Konglish, which means the Korean letters spell out what it sounds like in English. So Big Bang looks like 빅뱅. The name of the song is called "Lies." The group is a bunch Korean high school students who are definitely NOT in their school uniforms.
For the first 3 months this song was EVERYWHERE! You'd walk by a music store and this song was playing, you'd walk by a Cell phone store, this song was playing, walk by a bakery, this song was playing, it didn't matter where you were at this song would be playing!
So this song has now been replaced by a group of High School girls called "The Wonder Girls" (원더걸) <-Konglish. The name of their song is called "Tell Me" (텔미) which is also in Konglish.
What is becoming rather popular is the parody videos of the cheesy "Tell Me" video. I rather like the High School guys dancing to this song. Enjoy!

Hmmm...the K-bruthas got moves! The first group is quiet hunky. Can see why they, as well as their music, is so popular. Yummy! CC
