Guide to K-pop: How Much It Costs

Before Korean pop music, I listened to other genres and languages. All of them were just vibes and performances with the occasional fan interactions. Now, let me tell you how much it costs to guide yourself through this dense culture of K-pop. Disclaimer: I am only a decade long K-pop (technically nine years) fan. I am not Korean born or of Korean descent. I also do not know the first thing…

Lyrics (Original):

그대 아무런 말도 하지 마요

이 맘은 여전히 그대로예요

따가운 햇살 그 아래 우리

이 분위기 난 좋아요

어떡해 나 숨이 가빠져요

그렇게 쳐다보면

열이 올라요, 에오

뜨거워진 온도 탓일까요?

약이 올라요, 에오

한번쯤은 무너져줄게요

에오, 에오

열이 올라요

에오, 에오

여름 밤 열긴 밤새 식지 않고

나는 자꾸 위험한 춤을 춰요

따가운 햇살 적당한 바람

이 분위기 난 좋아요

어떡해 나 이제 못 참아요

그렇게 쳐다보면

열이 올라요, 에오

뜨거워진 온도 탓일까요?

약이 올라요, 에오

한번쯤은 무너져 줄게요

올라 올라 라라라 요

올라 올라 라라 라요 라요

올라 올라 라라 라요

올라 올라 라라

잔뜩 취한 듯한 기분

좀 더 높이 날 데려다 줘

잠에 든 도시 타오른 밤이

식기전에 한번만 더

열이 올라요, 에오

뜨거워진 온도 탓일까요?

약이 올라요, 에오

한번쯤은 무너져 줄게요

Lyrics (English Translation):

에오 에오

열이 올라요

에오 에오

Dear, do not say even a single word

My heart is still with you

Two of us under the burning sun

I love this vibes

Oh my, I’m getting breathless

When you look at me

Heart burn Eh-oh

Is it because of the heat

Getting me tight Eh-oh

I’ll let my guard down once

Eh-oh Eh-oh

Heart burn

Eh-oh Eh-oh

Summer heat doesn’t cool down all night

I keep dancing with dangerous moves

Burning sunlight with mild breeze

I love this vibes

Oh my, I can’t hold it anymore

When you look at me

Heart burn Eh-oh

Is it because of the heat

Getting me tight Eh-oh

I’ll let my guard down once

Ohla Ohla lalala yo

Ohla Ohla lala la-yo la-yo

Ohla Ohla lala la-yo

Ohla Ohla la la

Feel like I’m drunk

Take me much higher

One more time before the burning night

In the sleeping city cools off

Heart burn Eh-oh

Is it because of the heat

Getting me tight Eh-oh

I’ll let my guard down once

Lyrics (Romanization):

Eh-oh Eh-oh

Heart burn

Eh-oh Eh-oh

New Jeans (2022) Get Up (2023) NewJeans

The cynic in me dismisses NewJeans’ coolness, the group’s tasteful and thumping nods to UK garage and bass, as no more than corporate ploy – but if corporate ploys can manage this, mark me a mindless chump. This is really rather excellent, only a fool would dismiss something so undeniably chic. 

Pick(s): ‘Cookie’, ‘Super Shy’

album review; ive's love dive

♡ released in april 2022

♡ k-pop

♡ overall rating: 9.4/10

I know praising IVE is seen as unpopular nowadays (when only a few months ago they were untouchable), but it’s not surprising this single album is beautifully mastered. I am waiting for the full album, or at least a mini, but if they consistently put out songs like those above, I’m doing alright 😁

A song by song review can be found underneath the cut. My favorite track is Royal. My Least favorite track is Love Dive.

Love Dive -> 9/10

Royal -> 9.5/10

El artista de K-pop en solitario más rápido en alcanzar los mil millones de reproducciones en Spotify (masculino) - en general. Jeon Jung Kook

El 27 de marzo de 2023, con solo tres pistas diferentes disponibles para transmitir en Spotify, el cantante de BTS Jung Kook (Corea del Sur, b. Jeon Jung-kook) alcanzó el hito de 1 mil millones de transmisiones. "Stay Alive", "Left and Right" (con Charlie Puth, más dos remixes y una versión instrumental de la canción) y "Dreamers" (con BTS y FIFA Sound) impulsaron a la estrella en solitario a mil millones de transmisiones en 409 días, solo dos días antes de que la cantante y rapera Lisa presentara el hito (también con tres pistas) el 26 de octubre de 2022.

Jung Kook debutó en Spotify como solista con “Stay Alive” el 11 de febrero de 2022. La versión original de “Left and Right” es el lanzamiento más popular del cantante en la plataforma con 591,3 millones de reproducciones al 4 de mayo de 2023.

an excerpt:

A contact zone like the Los Angeles metro area played a key role in the creation of what we call the “DNA of K-pop” because many K-pop artists hailed from that area. To many 1990s Korean youth, LA was both a place of fantasy and threat, reflecting Hollywood-produced popular culture. H.O.T was a K-pop boy band in the 90s, and one of its members, Tony Ahn, hailed from L.A. Because of his fluency in English, Korean youth were fascinated with Ahn and his hip image. In addition, Lena Park, Tiffany Young (from the group Girls Generation), and Tiger JK are some other examples of K-pop pioneers from LA. Furthermore, as Young Dae Kim points out, many K-pop performers were not Korean Americans; rather, many would be better described as gyopo, a Korean term that “…broadly embraces people with Korean descent who lives (sic) abroad, with or without a foreign nationality of which they chose to live.” 6  This term perfectly describes those Koreans who study abroad in the US or have lived there for a period. One prominent example is Lee Soo Man, the founder of SM Entertainment, one of Korea’s major entertainment companies. He studied as a graduate student in Southern California in the 1980s and came up with the idea of SM Entertainment through watching MTV in America. SM Entertainment also played a key role in the growth of K-pop, revealing yet another connection to Los Angeles.

Lyrics (original):

Blackpink

Blackpink

Blackpink

Blackpink

Kick in the door, waving the coco'

팝콘이나 챙겨 껴들 생각 말고

I talk that talk, runways I walk-walk

눈 감고, pop-pop, 안 봐도 척

One by one, then two by two

내 손끝 툭 하나에 다 무너지는 중

가짜 쇼 치곤 화려했지

Makes no sense, you couldn't get a dollar out of me

자, 오늘 밤이야, 난 독을 품은 꽃

네 혼을 빼앗은 다음, look what you made us do

천천히 널 잠재울 fire

잔인할 만큼 아름다워 (I bring the pain like)

This that pink venom, this that pink venom

This that pink venom (get 'em, get 'em, get 'em)

Straight to ya dome like whoa-whoa-whoa

Straight to ya dome like ah-ah-ah

Taste that pink venom, taste that pink venom

Taste that pink venom (get 'em, get 'em, get 'em)

Straight to ya dome like whoa-whoa-whoa

Straight to ya dome like ah-ah-ah

Black paint and ammo', got bodies like Rambo

Rest in peace, please, light up a candle

This the life of a vandal, masked up, and I'm still in CELINE

Designer crimes, or it wouldn't be me, ooh!

Diamonds shining, drive in silence, I don't mind it, I'm riding

Flying private side by side with the pilot up in the sky

And I'm wyling, styling on them and there's no chance

'Cause we got bodies on bodies like this a slow dance

자, 오늘 밤이야, 난 독을 품은 꽃

네 혼을 빼앗은 다음, look what you made us do

천천히 널 잠재울 fire

잔인할 만큼 아름다워 (I bring the pain like)

This that pink venom, this that pink venom

This that pink venom (get 'em, get 'em, get 'em)

Straight to ya dome like whoa-whoa-whoa

Straight to ya dome like ah-ah-ah

Taste that pink venom, taste that pink venom

Taste that pink venom (get 'em, get 'em, get 'em)

Straight to ya dome like whoa-whoa-whoa

Straight to ya dome like ah-ah-ah

Lyrics (english translation):

원한다면 provoke us

감당 못해 and you know this

이��� 퍼져버린 shot that potion

네 눈앞은 핑크빛 ocean

Come and give me all the smoke

도 아니면 모 like I'm so rock and roll

Come and give me all the smoke

다 줄 세워 봐, 자, stop, drop (I bring the pain like)

라타타타, 트라타타타

라타타타, 트라타타타

라타타타, 트라타타타

Straight to ya, straight to ya, straight to ya dome like

라타타타, 트라타타타 (BLACKPINK)

라타타타, 트라타타타 (BLACKPINK)

라타타타, 트라타타타 (BLACKPINK)

I bring the pain like-

BLACKPINK, BLACKPINK

BLACKPINK, BLACKPINK

Kick in the door, waving the coco

Just get your popcorn, don't even think about getting involved

I talk that talk, runways I walk, walk

Close your eyes, pop, pretend you're not looking

One by one, then two by two

Everything is collapsing at the flick of my fingertip

It was flashy for a fake show

Makes no sense you couldn't get a dollar outta me

It's tonight, I'm a venomous flower

After taking your soul

Look what you made us do

A fire that will slowly put you to sleep (Fire)

It's so beautiful, it's cruel

I bring the pain like

This, that pink venom

This, that pink venom

This, that pink venom

Get 'em, get 'em, gеt 'em

Straight to ya dome like

Woah, woah, woah

Straight to ya domе like

Ah, ah, ah

Taste that pink venom

Taste that pink venom

Taste that pink venom

Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em

Straight to ya dome like

Woah, woah, woah

Straight to ya dome like

Ah, ah, ah

You might also like

Black paint and ammo, got bodies like Rambo

Rest in peace, please light up a candle

This the life of a vandal, masked up and I'm still in CELINE

Designer crimes or it wouldn't be me, ooh

Diamonds shining, drive in silence, I don't mind it, I'm riding

Flying private side by side with the pilot up in the sky

And I'm wilding, styling on them and there's no chance

'Cause we got bodies on bodies like this a slow dance

It's tonight, I'm a venomous flower

A fire that will slowly put you to sleep (Fire)

It's so beautiful, it's cruel

This, that pink venom

Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em

Woah, woah, woah

Straight to ya dome like

Taste that pink venom

Taste that pink venom

Taste that pink venom

Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em

Straight to ya dome like

Woah, woah, woah

Straight to ya dome like

Ah, ah, ah

Provoke us if you want

You can't handle it, and you know this

It's already spread, shot that potion

Pink ocean right before your eyes

Come and give me all the smoke

It's this or that, I'm so rock and roll

Come and give me all the smoke

Everybody stand in line, stop, drop

I bring the pain like
