K-pop became popular in this modern era. Many people love K-pop especially teenagers. There are many K-pop idols that very popular among teenagers, such as BTS, EXO, Blackpink, etc. The reality is there are some people who dislike or even hate K-pop. Some people think that K-pop songs are not cool, they think that western songs are better than K-pop songs. They also said that being a Kpopers is useless because they think all things that Kpopers do is just fangirling (it’s like admiring their idols by watching their music videos or performances). K-pop is not as easy as western music to be acceptable in society. However, Kpop has many beneficial things despite of many people who refuse the existence of K-pop.
K-pop is good to enjoy especially for teenagers. K-pop can reduce stress for teenagers who got too many assignments from school or college. Watching some of K-pop variety shows is fun and that can makes you forgot a little while about your homework. It can also makes you relax, especially when you are listening to K-pop ballad songs. Even though it is true that watching or listening K-pop just wasting time, in fact, K-pop is a good solution for boredom.
We can learn Korean language and culture from watching some of Korean series. Being Kpopers of course we want to know more about Korea. We often watch some series and then the more we watch it the more we are curious about Korean pronunciation. Sometimes we try to imitate the dialogue in the series, it is so much fun because the way how Korean people speak is unique.
Compared with English, Korean language is less interesting for common people because not most people in the world speak in Korean, and yes, I agree with that statement. Actually, learning other country’s culture is not wrong, it can develop our knowledge. If we know much about Korean culture, it also can give a good impact on our future career.
For example, if we we are master at Korean language, we can get a scholarship and have a chance to study at university in Korea like Seoul University, Yonsei University, Daegu University, and many more. Not only about study, we can also being an interpreter for K-pop idols when they are visiting our country. Imagine if you are doing the interpret for BTS when they are talking on the stage, that must be a great experience ever.
Kpopers who love to watch idol’s performance, they can discover their new talent or skill. For example, if they like to watch dance practice video, they will try to imitate the dancing movements, and it can create their dancing skill and also their creativity. They can improve and create a new dancing movement if they are dancing regularly.
The more they dancing into K-pop the better their dancing skill. Not only dancing, singing but singing also can change people who usually don’t sing, but then after they knew K-pop they found themselves are quite good at singing, they are finding their hidden talent. Even though that is correct that many people think that having academic skills is more important than having non academic skills, such as dancing, singing, etc.
In fact, having an additonal skill besides on academic skill is such a good thing. Not only dancing skill, when we are dancing into K-pop, we also can develop our memory, because we often memorize the lyrics of the song while we are dancing to help us easier to learn the dancing movements. Dancing skill helps us to get better focus because when we are learning the movements, we have to be very focus and detail, otherwise we will miss the beat and the choreography will not synchronic. Singing skill helps us to be a carefull person. When we are singing a song, we have to be careful when we hit the high pitch, we have to make sure that our voice can’t be crack.
Many beneficial things that we can get from K-pop. We can have fun while watching K-pop videos. K-pop makes us know more about Korean culture and also its language. It has a good impact for our future. K-pop is not just about boyband or girlband, but it is also about how we can accept their musics and cultural things that are very different from our own country.
Many people still can’t really enjoy how fun and interesting K-pop is. They just ignore the existence of K-pop just because they don’t understand the language. For them K-pop musics are hard to understand. I believe that they actually can understand K-pop if they want to learn it. Why don’t people just try to accept and respect the existence of K-pop? People should open their mind so they can get more knowledge that actually K-pop is not that bad.
