Kpop is wondrous world.

It brings together fans from all over the world. From different countries. Different places. Different backgrounds. Languages and experience.

All coming together to share in the music of a small nation. South Korea.

It's kind of crazy when you think about it.

A reflection of our modern world. Interconnected. And open. But often specialized. With everyone able, through the internet, to find their own unique niche. Their own corner of the world to share their passions with like minded friends and peers.

Kpop has become my niche.

I first got into this world when I was introduced to SNSD through their Into The New World mv by a Korean classmate 12 years ago.

And while that song will forever remain special to me, it's not my favorite song in the kpop.

That distinguishment belongs to So Nyeo Shi Dae, SNSD's next and often overlooked eponymous entry.

When I hear it, I am transported back.

To those early days where I was just getting into this world of kpop and everything was new and fresh and exciting.

I can almost be there. In my dorm in college where I had it playing on my white iPod or in the hall waiting for Chinese class.

There is no single song that I associate with kpop more than this song.

The song. The MV. The look. The feel.

The feeling of exploring this whole new world I never new existed but would later become a large part of my life.

It all comes back with this track.

To me, it distills in one song my emotional connection to kpop and the magic of this world .

If I had to pick the one song that is "kpop" in my mind, to me.

It's this.

Here's a song about a friend who's depressed, with lyrics (from kyricskpop.net) like

If you keep it inside and stay upset
Your head will spin, tears will fall
And you’ll cry till you’re exhausted, it’s obvious
...
Ooh do not feel depressed
You can tell me (tonight), honey
Ooh we're friends, I do not want to waste time
​

You'd expect a song like that to be a gentle ballad, ...

... but no, Red Velvet's All Right is a bouncy, encouraging, cheer-you-up piece:




I don't speak Korean, and this is one of the Kpop songs that I appreciated a whole lot more after I understood the lyrics.

A cute song for a very romantic girl

 

[MinSquishy]

I can relate to this song on a deep level.
I've been through so much, it's made this song a bit comforting to me because now I know someone has gone through that I've gone through.

Also this song for similar reasons.
When my mom left, me and my dad listened to this song on repeat for comfort.
