Not Listening to K-Pop: Ignorance or Choice?
Posted by RSSnews (#1) 2 days ago (http://seoulbeats.com)
At this point in time, Korean entertainment is gaining momentum on the international circuits. Fans from all over the world, from Brazil to the United States embrace Korea and its cultural exports, regardless of all the barriers that range from a lack of understanding of the culture to a lack of understanding of the society. But one of the biggest barriers remains: the language. While the Hallyu Wave is encouraging some fans to learn more about the language, most fans do not. They are okay with listening to songs they don’t understand, opting, on occasion, to read lyric translations, if they’re going to do anything about it all. But that doesn’t seem to bother fans.(...)Read the rest of Not Listening to K-Pop: Ignorance or Choice?

JYP and The Wonder Girls: Persistence is the Name of the Game
Posted by RSSnews (#1) 3 days ago (http://seoulbeats.com)
When idols decide to take their chances States-side, fans like us often hope for the very best and expect the very worst. Questions and concerns that cross our minds usually take the groups we adore, in the context of the Korean pop scene, and plant them in the midst of the fast-paced, occasionally vicious American entertainment industry, and allow the nausea to ensue.Take for example YG’s attempts with Se7en in 2007 and SM’s efforts with BoA in 2008. Se7en and YG took their venture in baby steps; a few featured singles here and there, a couple fan signing events, and then a single featuring Lil Kim in 2009. It was a respectable effort, but some factors fell through, and Se7en was pulled back to Korea to pursue Asian comebacks and save some face with his Asian audiences.BoA, on the other hand, was able to make a bigger splash. She was able to release a full length English album titled BoA, and went on to earn spots on four Billboard charts. However, in 2010 BoA returned to

How “Revolutionary” is YG’s New Girl Group?
Posted by RSSnews (#1) 4 days ago (http://seoulbeats.com)
I think it’s fair to say that no one is particularly upset over the news of Big Bang’s new album release being pushing back because the debut of the as-of-yet named “revolutionary” YG girl group, which was originally set to start teasers this month. From the beginning, I’ve wondered about the emergence of another YG girl group. I have no problem with the expansion of their roster, but YG…remember that little group, 2NE1? That extremely popular female quartet that has been praised to the edges of the earth and back for their style, presence and sound that has changed the landscape of K-pop as we know it? I’d say they’re still doing pretty well.(...)Read the rest of How “Revolutionary” is YG’s New Girl Group?
