Random Video #2 Led Apple - Bruno Mars' "It will rain"
Random video posted but going through Led Apples covers I fell in love with this song even more and I love Bruno Mars and i'm now a new Led Apple fan :)
Music brings people together
I was lucky enough to join a small community page on facebook that is about kpop. The people I've come across are feat sweet and down to earth. But one person really opened my eyes and actually takes the time to explain a few things to me about kpop seeing as how I'm a newbie. Thank you Tay for showing me other ways to get my kpop fix. There isn't a big kpop following in Texas so meeting another person from the states was interesting a fun because now I have someone to talk too lol... Even though we're thousands of miles apart from each other she educates me in.the world of kpop. Thanks Tay :) these are for you.

K-DRAMA FEVER
Korean drama (Hangul: 한국드라마), k-drama for short, refers to televised dramas, in a miniseries format, produced in South Korea. Many of these dramas have become popular throughout Asia, with growing interest in other parts of the world. K-dramas have contributed to the general phenomenon of the Korean wave, known as Hallyu (Hangul: 한류), and also "DramaFever" in some countries. (source Wikipedia)
K-drama's to me are addicting. I've always been a huge fan of dramas and foreign films, I don't mind reading subtitles :) and after listening to a few kpop songs and after a night of going through my netflix account I came across korean dramas. All I had to say was wow, way to open your eyes to a new culture. The first korean drama I watched was Dream High and instantly I was smitten :)
Being an American it was a bit hard in the beginning to follow and understand but once I got into it was a little easier. It was also easier to enjoy k-dramas more than american television. American television and Korean television have a few similarities but they also have a huge differences. I come from a generation of Saturday morning cartoons, v.h.s instead of d.v.d's, a time where we played outside instead of keep our head down and our noses in our cell phones. So kdrama's were an easy transition because they reminded me of what t.v. should be like. I'm not interested in watched young women with 80lbs of makeup on their faces and enough hair spray to keep a zombie still; or watch them prance around half naked. Some people like that but i'm not like most people. The one thing that drew me in about kdrama's is the fact that they don't prance around half naked, the girls wear makeup but its barely even noticeable. Plus the dramas rarely last longer than a season which keeps it fresh instead of drawing it out for 5 or 6 maybe even 20 seasons (like some american soaps). I would honestly recommend K-dramas to friends than recommend something like Teen Mom or even Twilight (lol that's a whole other post). So for now I will drown myself into the world of K-dramas.

My introduction to K-POP
I have recently become obsessed with all things K-POP, especially K-Dramas. I got into the music first then worked my way slowly into dramas. I've always been a fan of foreign films so I guess my jumping over to actual dramas and series' was only a matter of time.
The first drama I ever watched was Dream High and the first song I heard was Gangam Style (typical I know lol) but listening to that is was opened me up into the world of K-Pop. After listening to PSY I youtubed girl groups because even though a part of me is a total rock and metal head, deep inside i'm a girl too and love pop music. That's when I discovered 2NE1 and MissA. I quickly fell in love with the rawness of 2NE1 and the some what sweetness that is MissA. But of course my favorite in the end turned out to be 2NE1 they have everything musically that I was love.
Most of my friends have no idea that I listen to K-POP, honestly I don't think they would understand. Some people don't like to think outside the box, but i'm not like most I was willing to give it a try and was instantly hooked. I recently was able to get my boyfriend to listen to a song other than Gangam Style. Hopefully i'm able to get him to cross over *fighting*
K-POP to me is more than just music and dramas; it's art, it's life... it opens your eyes to a whole new culture.
WELCOME!
Hello Fellow K-Poppers :) Welcome to MY K-POP WORLD!
I created this space because I am new to the world of k-pop and needed somewhere to vent and express the way I feel. I'm probably one of the oldest fans around (it won't tell just yet ;))So I thought i'd create my own little corner to express how I feel and express my love for all that is Koran pop culture and Korean dramas. Hopefully you enjoy your stay and enjoy what you read, maybe you can even contribute :) Welcome to MY K-POP WORLD
