Kpop - Music has no Language Barrier
Kpop - Music has no Language Barrier

We all now know that Korean pop music is dominating the music industry these days. Many haters says that international fans can't even understand what they are saying, for all they know, they night be cursing the fans without them knowing it. Believe me, i have met many people, in reality or online, who hates Korean Music. But is it wrong to love them without knowing their mother tongue? I think there are only 1/3 people who are open minded and the other 2/3 are all close minded people. I mean, male call the male idols gays. Don't they just feel insecure because the male idols are too handsome and not to mention talented? And when a male like Korean Music people would judge him as gays, well i think fanboys are the ones who have lots of courage because they don't care what other people thinks, it's what they like so no one has the right to judge them. Sure, i will admit that their are Korean Fans would go crazy and chase their idols around the town of Seoul but it only shows that they love them deeply that they want to make their idols notice them. Just like in one of the animes i have watched. The protagonist would go around saying "Senpai, please notice me!" I think its like that.

From what i have seen people who love Korean music tends to be more picky in picking the people who they want to have a relationship with. Because they want that specific person to have the criteria to be just like their idol.

Music has no language barrier. If you like the music then listen to it. If you want to understand what they are saying learn the language. Idols do learn other language so that they communicate with their fans. So just like that learn the language and you can communicate with your idol online or in

    If you are speaking to someone that isn’t familiar with the language you are using, it can make it harder for them to receive and understand the message that was sent. This can easily be avoided as you or other staff can either familiarise themselves with the languages they use or using someone else’s skills to get the message across (using a translator or an interpreter). However these can be expensive and hard to find so there is a service you can use over the phone which acts as a translator or an interpreter. Another way of overcoming a language barrier is to use phones/ computers. People can easily gain access to sites/ apps that allows them to translate your message into different languages. This can be a lot cheaper, easier and more convenient than hiring a translator/ interpreter to come in and assist.…

    Andrew Santella thinks that, “However, the Navajos devised a code that worked extremely well. They made a list of Navajo words that would represent each letter in the English language alphabet. For example, the Navajo word for apple (be-la-sana) stood for the letter A. The Navajo word for bear (shush) stood for the letter B, and the Navajo word for cat (moast) stood for the letter C. The code talkers sent messages by using Navajo code words to spell out words in English. For example, to say "Navy," code talkers would say the Navajo words that stood for each letter: Nesh-chee (or nut, for N), wol-la-chee (or ant, for A), a-keh-di-glini (or victor, for V), and tsah-as-zih (or yucca, for…

    I was exposed to Asian music in college. My attention was drawn to one music group to the point I joined the staff of an international fan forum. Managing a tech support team and helping with social media engagement was my main responsibilities. Continual fandom updates meant I needed to engage with fans on all social media platforms daily. Language was a barrier for some staff members. I was motivated to learn language basic so my English responses where clear to non-native speakers. Using my wit and drive, I hope to solve any situation as a mod to help both the client and consumer win.…

    This photo shows that one of the main forms of entertainment that Korean families have is to watch television, whether it is entertainment shows to drama. It is one of the largest industries in Korea, as it is evident through the success of Korean dramas to Psy’s “Gangnam Style.” The reason why the entertainment industry is booming is due to possible factors such as how attractive the actors and / or actresses are to the clothing styles that are presented.

    Although there is a multitude of prevalent, blatant acts of racism throughout To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee that one may point out with ease, there also exist overlooked instances of racism in which theoretically good characters allow usually veiled racism to creep into a conversation or event. The utilization of both conspicuous acts of racism as well as more normalized acts of racism creates a well-balanced spectrum that draws a detailed picture of racism that spans the reality of decades, from the 1930’s setting of the novel to modern times. In fact, several characters in the novel are the epitome of differing points on the aforementioned spectrum. Throughout To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee develops the theme of racism with the…

    The Korean entertainment industry for a long time studied and understood the concept of soft power and its uses on the world stage. They knew the only way to penetrate an American cultured global concept of the entertainment market is not by riding against the tidal wave of US cultural imperialism, but to adopt it. They understood that in order to appeal globally and make it, they had to transform the popular K-pop music production to be more American. And today, in the soft power stage, K-pop is considered to be South Korea’s most powerful weapon on the world stage. Bringing in revenues of billions to the country and making the country a top recognized business hub for investors from around the…

    "They may ignore many of the more archaic elements of their heritage, but they still see themselves as Koreans first, and may adopt a more combative 'us against them' mentality when it comes to other groups. It makes us neither fish nor fowl. Some Koreans don't feel terribly connected to their home country, but they never truly feel like Americans either. They are somewhere in the middle, torn between the inner circles of the Korean communities and the forces of Westernization and modernization in America. It's been this way for decades, and I'm not sure it's going to change any time soon" (Kim).…

    Moving to a New Country

    When you just come to South Korea, when the excitement of a new experience is past, you get surprised by the homogeneity of Koreans. In this country, everyone is literally alike: physically (more than other Asians like Mongolians or Kazakhs), their clothes’ style is the same, their gestures, their behaviour, their habits, and their tastes also. Koreans don’t like to be mixed, they believe and trust only their “race”. Usually, they stay in groups (only Koreans), move, work, and live in-group. One example is the word –my- don’t exist in Korean, it’s only –our- : my phone became our phone in South Korea. It’s clearly a collective society and not individualist, which explain their resemblance.…

    Korean Psyche

    Nowadays, many Korean are prejudiced against the Japanese. The main reason why we feel antipathy for them is the Imjin War of 1592 and the era under the colonial administration of imperial Japan. Then, I will write about why we have gotten antipathy, even though we won the Imjin War and we separated from Japan now. Also, that is all water under the bridge. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, unified Japan for the first time and wanted to make territorial expansion. Plus, they believed the power of rifles made in Portugal. Korea always defeated Japanese raiders previously, so we were not too concerned at the onset of the Imjin War. As a result, Korea was considerably damaged. But this is not the thing that Koreans hostile toward the Japanese. The reason is they not only encroached upon the territory of our country, but also plundered Korean cultural assets. Their behavior became inglorious chapter in our mind.…

    My favorite Singer

    My favorite Korea pop singer is Ailee because she is a talented person and she is my role model. Whenever I'm feeling down, her music makes me happy and relaxed. I accidentally heard her song few months ago in a coffee shop and I love her singing right away. She has an amazing voice. Her voice sounds like an angel sings. She also has been studying how to rap on her own. She is not just can sing well but she is also a pretty good dancer. She started her singing career by making song's cover video on YouTube. She is famous with her covers such as “Catch Me If You Can”, “Heaven” and “Lonely”. She is also a very good actress. She played a small role in "Dream High 2" and she has received much love and support from fans and the audiences. I love her character in the movie the most. Another reason Ailee is so important for me because I can learn a lot of good things from her. I love the way she always try her best. She never stops pushing herself to the top of best Korean singer. She never gives up her dream and that is what I'm trying to learn from her in order to be a better person. For example, I used to spend a difficult time when my father passed away about five months ago. At that time, I wanted to quit school but when I see what Ailee has been going through then I changed my mind. Looking at how she overcome her difficulties when she decided to leave her home in US and go to Korea to fulfill her dream, I realized I should never give up easily in everything if I want to be a successful person. After all, I'm glad that there is an artist like her so that she can be a role model for young people, especially me. I hope she will always keep up her good work and bring more good music to the world.…
