Heard of K-Pop? No? Well, fear not, listen to these essential cool and camp cuts and expect your life to never be the same again!
Do you remember the days when there were fun Saturday morning kids shows with the cheesiest pop stars banging out the most joyous arms in the air pop anthems. Yes, it feels so long ago. These days, as we saw from the dreary Brit awards, every music star takes themselves so seriously these days which makes for a very boring chart rundown. But over in South Korea, there is a fabulous musical movement that is fast taking over the world called K-Pop. It is a genre that spans over thirty years and whose latest stars produce heart-lifting pop tunes and insane music videos packed with colour and tight dance routines. You may have heard of massively successful boyband BTS (they’re playing Wembley Stadium this summer) and girlband BlackPink (they’re here in May) who have topped the charts in the US but there are so many other bands to fall in love with. Here, we list our favourite K-pop tunes to get your party started.
