Music - Korean musics eat a lot of our girls


               Nowadays, almost everybody knows what K-Pop (Korean Pop) is. A lot of K-Pop songs are heard from various medias. From now on, there are few music programs  that play K-Pop songs. Indonesian teenagers,  mostly immune to exact K-Pop Idols. Boy Group they love the most are Super Junior, 2PM, B2ST, SHINee , Big Bang, DBSK, and U-Kiss. For the Girl Group, they love SNSD, 2NE1, Wondergirls, F(x), Miss A, and T-Ara.



 
when I asked "Do you know about Korean ghrl/boy band?"

they answered : I know about all SM TOWN

and then she told me :

                   However, Boy Group and Girl Group that are really bring the flag of K-Pop in the world are those which SM Entertainment led. They are Super Junior, SNSD, DBSK, SHINee, and F(x). Last June they proved that they extremely rock the world in their special concert in Paris. Million fans from Europe gathered in Paris to watch them. Moreover, those who did not get the ticket for the concert made a huge wave of protest in front of Louvre Museum. They asked  to add another concert date day in Paris. They even did Super Junior’s Sorry Sorry dance !
                    Repeating their success in Paris, few months ago SME held another concert in New York for American fans. They received a lot of compliments in world’s eyes .They are not only introducing K-Pop throughout the world but also introducing Korean’s culture .It is proved by a lot of fans who have started to learn Korean language and alphabet .
                     Also, SME’s SNSD and Super Junior won 5 categories in MNet Asian Music Awards in Singapore last November. Super Junior won Singaporean Choose for Boy Group, Best Boy Group, and Best Album (Mr.Simple). While SNSD won Best Girl Group and Artist of The Year. Almost 80% voters are not Koreans !! They really really rock the world, don’t they ???
