When Korean music makes you cry.
Even though “Kpop” music, as fans hear it, has been around since 1996, it has grown and exported tremendously over the last 10 years. The style is mainly known for its powerful rhythms, its millimeter choreographies with exceptional synchronization. When we speak of “Kpop” in the broad sense of the term it includes for the uninitiated pop, hiphop, ballads, Korean soundtracks.
If kpop, and more specifically Korean pop, takes you on board and forces you to get up from your seat, it is also capable of moving you with ballad-type titles. Some solo singers are kings and queens of this genre and when they associate an MV with their title, big tears roll down the cheeks of listeners. We can thus mention the soloist HUH GAK with for example his title “I can only say I want to die“.
Or the singer and rapper, former member of the B.A.P group, BANG YONG GUK for the track “Remember” featuring singer Yang Yo Seop (Beast / Highlight).
Or finally to finish with the boys, the singer K.WILL and the title “Please don’t …“:
Singer LEE HI, with her extraordinary voice, paying a strong tribute to SHINEE member singer Jong Hyun at the 2018 Golden Disc Awards.
At the group level we can speak of BIG BANG with the title “Haru haru“:
From the UNB group with the title “Only u“,
What is even more striking for most Korean music fans are the “OST (Soundtracks)” of dramas. This music which is there to accompany events in films and dramas in order to accentuate the emotions felt by the actors. One of the most popular was the title performed by singer GUMMY – “You are my everything” for the drama “Descendants of the sun“.
When Go Hye Mi (Suzy from Miss A) sings a happy birthday to Jin Guk (Taecyeon from 2PM) in the drama Dream high “with the title “Winter’s child“. In the drama Heartstring with Park Shin Hye and CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa who performs the title “Because I miss you“.
And it can go even in variety shows which normally either dazzle you or make you laugh, when three young girls cover the title of the group I.O.I – “Sonata” written by Woozi of the group SEVENTEEN. Where in the show “King of masked singer” which had its share of emotions.
We no longer count and cannot list all these titles which are capable of bringing tears to our eyes. Whether thanks to their voices, the melody, Korean artists also know how to make you feel a lot of emotions.
Leave us in comment the title which managed to move you by its musicality, its words or the voice of the artist.
