Kpop is here to stay!! I was going to post this over a week ago but school life kinda took over :( In this post, I share a few clips that sort of give you a glimpse into this influence I am talking about
This post was inspired by EatYourKimchi who ecently went to KCON where they were interviewed by the Verge. In case you're wondering, "KCON is the first-ever large scale convention dedicated to the hottest entertainment coming out of Korea including K-pop, K-drama and Korean movies."
Check out EYK's Verge interview:
With KPop having more dominance in the international sphere, we've seen more non-Korean artistes covering kpop songs. JD Relic's cover of Bigbang's "Blue"

Tonye, our resident techie also made his version of GDragon's "One of A Kind" beat
With kpop being increasingly listened to by English speaking people, I find it hard to understand why most of the English/Korean songs have such horrible use of English, Engrish to be more specific. EYK said so on a panel they spoke at during KCON, it's as easy as hiring an editor. Some times the lyrics of these songs are cute like "gee gee gee baby baby baby" but sometimes it's weird stuff like "When you feel like there’s no way out. Love is the only way". There are more examples of Engrish in kpop but I'll leave it at that.
Long live kpop.
