Get your music on this summer in Seoul.

Wed, 05/22/2013 - 23:34 — devanrosey

I’m all about the music. I am up for any concert, just ask. With only a few days left before I leave (tear tear), lately I’ve been reminicing about all I’ve managed to experience while teaching and living in Korea (Are you ready?). I am amazed at how much I have done in such a short amount of time, especially when I think about all the concerts I’ve attended. It seems like ages ago, but at this time last year I was preparing to witness Lady Gaga’s first and very controvercial world tour stop in Seoul.

Man of the Week: Jaejoong (김재중)

Tue, 04/23/2013 - 21:10 — The Kimchi Queen


I got an e-mail the other day titled Hyun Bin is hot, but Jaejoong is hotter. While I don't know where my bias would lie, luckily this isn't a zero-sum game. We can just enjoy both of them.

K-Pop and the Future of Korea

Mon, 01/28/2013 - 19:36 — SeoulSearching
Many Westerners who come to Korea to live or to visit quickly write off K-pop, Korea's mainstream music genre, as a cheesy, sugar-coated excuse for entertainment. They see outlandish costumes, boys in heavy eyeliner, and flamboyant choreographed dance moves.  They become annoyed with strange Engrish lyrics and seemingly identical tunes that blare from just about every storefront of the country.  But, what they don't realize is that K-pop is much bigger than skinny jeans and plastic faces.  In fact, K-pop is transforming Korea as the world knows it.

K-pop, Celeb Spotting, and Fangirls: My Inkigayo Experience

Sun, 12/02/2012 - 15:14 — SeoulSearching
Last week, Korea welcomed its ten millionth tourist with a ceremony at Incheon International Airport.  Tourism in Korea has grown exponentially in recent years, partly due to the improvement of tourism policies and the measures taken by the government to make travel around the peninsula more convenient for foreigners.  Still, there's a more obvious catalyst for the sudden boom in tourism: Hallyu, a combination of soap operas, movies, and, of course, K-pop.

Exclusive: PSY`s Anti-America Protesting Past?

Wed, 11/28/2012 - 14:10 — idlewordship

Note: This is the original story that broke the whole PSY anti-American scandal wide-open. Was wild to watch it start from my little musings over on Haps to eventually being  cited by everyone from the New York Times to Time Magazine to ABC news.

“Gangnam Style” has made PSY a global household name with millions of adoring fans. According to recent English translations of his performances in 2002 and 2004, PSY participated in several high profile anti-American military protests on the peninsula that might anger some, while winning over others.
