Best Songs to get into K-pop

So you want to be a k-pop fan ehh?

K-pop (Korean pop) has been going mainstream lately *woot woot* I mean, sadly, some people are transitioning from Gangnam style or haven't even skimmed the outer shell of all the glorious-ness of this genre.  This is my personal list of songs that I think are great if you or your friend are trying to get into k-pop.  Get ready to Fangirl or fanboy yo brains out!


1.  Wonder Girls "Be My Baby"
So much nostalgia! Wonder Girls is probably the first girl groups I liked and got me into kpop.  This is and still is one of my favorite songs with its catchy "please be my babyy~" chorus.  It will definitely get stuck in your head!

2.  BIGBANG "Bad Boy"
Probably one of the most popular groups from YG Entertainment, Bigbang is one of the top k-pop artists. G-Dragon, TOP, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri, are all individually talented in rapping/singing, but together they form like this Power Ranger Megazord rap group!

Also a member from BigBang, Taeyang has those honey vocals and dance moves that make girl's all over the world thank god for making such a human being exist.  Remember how i said each is individually talented?  Taeyang's voice reminds me of Usher or Chris Brown (strangely though, i don't even really listen to them).

aka "Beastly idols" 2pm is my kind of group.  They're like the songs you listen to when you be dancing at the club~ or in this case, when you feel sexy AF.  Heyo, black and white MV + chair dancing? it's like the recipe for how to create fangirls.           ヽ(。・ω・。)ノ

One of the most internationally popular kpop girl groups, SNSD,  is just AMAZING.  Girls and guys both love them! I mean, I can't even describe them... they're like the Unicorns of the music world,  you can't help but just be mesmerized by their synchronization and singing skills.  

So one thing to know about Kpop groups is that Dancing is just as important as the singing.  So, practically ALL groups you see have awesome dancing skills.  Plus, if you don't know them, EXO is one of the most popular ovary-bursting groups right now (girls be cray-cray for them).  But I don't know for how much longer since 2 of 12 members (Kris and Luhan) have left the group T^T

Okay, so I've been thinking of this post since forever, but if you saw that new Microsoft commercial with a sassy laptop tablet thing then you probably heard this song.  I mean, who can't love 2ne1's songs?  This is so perfect for feeling like a boss. 

The first time I listened to this song, I fell in love with this brother-sister duo.  The song itself is just so happy and upbeat.  I don't even speak korean and yet it's so catchy~

 Of course, I can't exclude my bias group! (a bias is basically your favorite idol/group) And CNBLUE is one of the few popular actual BANDS that i love.  They compose a lot of their own music and most of them are power ballads like this. hehe and chelby will probably be mad that i didnt include her group in here (oops). 



If this were a list ranked by order of favorites, Ailee would be like my #1.  She is the Beyonce of Asian singers.  If you like them high notes, she delivers!  You should also look at her debut song Heaven.
