Are You A Fan of Kpop? Shout Your Voice Out!
[ad#contentad]
Listening to Korean pop (aka Kpop) is one my remedy whenever I feel tired, bored, depressed, etc. It gives me this refreshing aura for a short time while listening to Kpop music. I’ve been into Kpop music since 2003 and still counting. ^^ BoA Kwon was the first Kpop artist that I get to know through surfing the net. Lol. Some people were saying whenever they have known ppl who loves Kpop or any asian music such as Jpop, Cpop, Tpop, etc. is ‘jologs‘. How come can you say ‘jologs’ to this ppl if they had their own choice of music. Anyway, I respect their own opinions, but please respect these ppl as well.

Now that Kpop is already invaded our beloved country “Philippines” because of Wonder Girls, Super Junior, TVXQ and 2NE1. I just can’t imagine these ppl who used to say ‘jologs’ to other ppl by just listening to Kpop has become a Kpop addict already. Based on my experience its not possible for Filipinos not to get hooked with Korean music most esp. Filipinos really love pop music especially with the upbeat and dance music.
Noon, ako lang ung dito sa subdivision ang nagpapatugtog ng mga Kpop music na pagkalakas-lakas. Walang pakealaman kahit magtaka sila kung ano ung tinutugtog ko. Haha! Pero kita mo ngayon, pati sila nakikiuso narin, nakikikanta narin kahit na di rin nila alam ang meaning ng kanta. Eto na talaga ang Korean craze!
For me, Korean Entertainment is an eye-opener to well, all Filipino producers, artists, company and such. Local networks got so many singing talents and I must say talents of Filipinos are world class but they lack of something which Filipinos (esp. Filipino Kpop fans) were looking for. Korean Entertainment is a serious business to them which makes these companies engaged more by training their artists/talents for years before debuting their talents as an actress/actors, singers or dancers.

Let’s give an example of Sandara Park, a Korean citizen who have known as a one of the contestant of SCQ (Star Circle Quest), a reality talent search on ABS-CBN few years ago. She became singer and artist under ABS-CBN talents instantly because of her charming personality after becoming the first-runner up in SCQ. Years had passed and we didn’t get much updates about her, until we found out last year thru local TV news that she became part of the trainee and signed a contract last 2007 on YG Entertainment, one of Korea’s record label who produces R&B and Hip hop music.
If you’ve seen her from her singing, dancing and hosting skills since she became one of the the member of Korean female group called 2NE1. You will noticed that she really improves alot unlike before, its because of training her for years in YG Entertainment. They look more into talents/skills of individuals not just by the looks of their talents. Some Korean netizens or citizens criticized artists whenever they lip-sync, that’s why Korean companies train more of their artists to perform it live without lip-syncing. ^^
You can’t blame us, Kpop addicts getting hooked with Kpop or Korean craze because Philippine TV networks were the one who introduced them to us by airing Korean Dramas on their networks. So yeah ~
Honestly, I’m kinda lost interest in Filipino Music/OPM anymore… I do listen to OPM before but now I think it decreases my interests listening to OPM and switched more to asian music that includes Kpop. I guess because I’m looking forward to hear more of OPM pop or dance songs than ballads, ‘birit’ , rock and alternative songs. Haha XD
