YG

So recently I got some new songs on my iPod. It’s because of KPOPSTAR, which is a TV show/program thing in Korea to find and ‘raise’ potential super K-pop stars. And in the program, are three ‘judges.’ They are from the three major Kpop companies—SM, YG, and JYP. From SM is representative judge BOA, from YG is 양현석, and from JYP is, obviously, JYP (박진영).

I found out more about the kpop groups—Super Junior, Big Bang, you know. This was all in my mind.

On one fine, boring day, I wanted something new to play on the piano. So I went surfing on the web for some good sheet music. And I found that this user-name person, something with Star7something, whatever. He/she had created a sheet-music piano version of Lonely by 2NE1. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not a K-Pop freak. But I’m not anti, either. Imean, I’m Korean! How can I hate my own culture—or what’s becoming the culture? I actually like K-pop, but not K-pop. I don’t say, “I love kpop” like some people do. Not that it’s bad. Just that I don’t do that. I like certain groups or singers in K-pop, more so near just Korean music. And they have to be able to sing. And honestly, boy/girl groups with like ten billion people in it and stuff—they’re all pretty or handsome and all, but you listen to their music.

I like music that actually means something to me, or sounds good. Something with a melody, so that it can get stuck in my head. Imean, I’ve never had a rap stuck in my head before.

Despite these restrictions, I’ve found myself quite interseted in 2NE1, from YG. Especially their song, Lonely, and also Ugly. It’s quite good. I listen to it a lot these days.

And branching off into just generally the YG company-ness, I remembered (I can’t say ‘discovered,’ because I already knew they existed, liked them quite a bit already, actually) Big Bang. Their songs are very very good, and they are very very good at singing, and I have to admit, some of those people aren’t the ugliest, either.
…forget that last fragment.

Anyhow, I found that their recent music, like ‘Blue,’ ‘Love Dust,’ and ‘Fantastic Baby’ are pretty catchy. I’m tone-deaf, but if you could see me at random intervals of the day at home, I’d most likely be singing. Because in front of your family, nothing’s embarrassing. (Except perhaps, yourself in your birthday suit.)  These days, it’s either 2NE1 or Big Bang.

And I’ve cleaned out my iPod of old songs and stuff, and I got some new 2NE1 songs and Big Bang. I was looking through the iTunes store for what they (2NE1 and Big Bang) had out recently.

Pretty good songs.

I like those two groups. Very decent.

Listening to my iPod on the high school bus these days. Day-light’s savings makes it scarily dark outside, so music is always a friend of mine to stop me from looking behind me for potential murderers every five seconds.

Actually it just helps me a little, because I look behind me for potential murderers every ten seconds. But it’s exercise for my neck, right? Let’s be positive.

…yeah right.

 

Oh, and. Happy Pi Day!
