Even though I'm Korean I consider myself quite
white washed since I was born in New Zealand and raised in Australia. Have I ever lived in korea? no I haven't, but I have been on holidays over there to see relatives etc. although it's been a while since I've last visited (4 years ago).
ANYWAY the point I was trying to make is that K-pop is gaining alot of interest around the world these days and has been since a couple of years ago and as a result, more and more young "singers" are debuting and it's getting a bit too out of control... It's hard to find a group that can actually sing and have that passion rather than just doing it for the fame, since a majaority of them only really do it for the fame. Oh and the reason I say "group" is because there seems to be about 1000000000 boy groups and girl groups debuting. I guess it's a
trend.
Although I only started to listen to Korean music to get better at my own language (I wasn't very good at Korean) there were only a few artists that stood out to me and that I would actually listen to, and I hate that cutesy innocent kinda stuff. ughh.
2ne1
What more can I say... I love them for their unique style and amazing music. Their voices and styles are all so unique and different compared to other korean "idols". I especially love their fashion because it's literally just amazing. 2ne1 provide a variety of music styles that all happen to suit them very well and they can adapt to any kind of genre which I find is great and is the reason why they are such a great group.
They have also done work with Will.I.Am from Black Eyed Peas and are very close with Jeremy Scott, if you don't know who that is, you better find out for yourself! He is an amazing designer.
If you haven't listened to their music, I hope that you check them out. Even if you can't understand korean, you will definitely appreciate their style.
