The first Korean singer I fell in love with was Lena Park. She happened to be promoting her 4th album in Singapore at that time and appeared on a variety show on channel 8. Well, it was not entirely a coincidence that I was watching that show on that night itself...cos her album was advertised on channel 8 too and I was very impressed with her songs. Her live performance on dat show was equally breathtaking, and that 4th album of hers remains to be one of my all time fav albums ever.
Lately, I've been listening to A LOT of K Pop, and I really mean A LOT.... Cos there really isn't dat many new songs coming out from the english or chinese music industry, and I'm kinda bored with wadever songs I already have in my collection, all 16 GB of them... So, since I was watching Boys Over Flowers and really enjoyed one of the songs in dat series, I started to pay more attention to Korean songs instead...
There were/are many bands from the Korean music industry... You've probably heard of the Wondergirls by now, with their addictive and widespread "Nobody" parodied/emulated all over youtube. FYI, they're releasing an english version of dat song soon I think.... They're preparing to enter the US market like BoA and Se7en did...tho I dun see much success from the both of them.... Hopefully they'll do better... Then there are bands dat are huge in Asia like DBSK, Big Bang and Super Junior...and newers ones like SHINee, 2NE1, Girls Generation, After School, 2AM, 2PM, KARA, and the upcoming 4Minute.... So many bands.... o.O
But then, I came across this Korean singer one day and was totally blown away.... She's a renowned singer in Korea known for her love ballads, and I just can't stop listening to her songs..!!! I mean, her voice is unique like Lena Park's, but she has this way of singing that reminds me of old old chinese songs lol....but in a VERY good way....
She seldom appears in her MVs, and most of her MVs tell a sad love story - typical korean drama type, yes I know....but who cares? Her voice alone is enough to compensate for all other things found lacking with the MVs.
Ahhhhhhh...... I am so in love with her voice right now.....
