Any K-Pop Fans Here?

I know it's unlikely, but would be interesting to see

I'm prepared to listen to good music from all over the world. (Indeed, I probably listen to far more music in foreign languages than I do in English). However I tend to find that listening to K-pop is like listening to an unending diet of Eurovision Song Contest entries. (Don't get me wrong here; I adore the Eurovision Song Contest but I'm not up to listening to the same type of music all day long though).

Things aren't helped either by the fact that only a very small number of K-pop groups get their music played here. So many people tend to think solely of groups like BTS when considering K-pop, rather than some of the many other groups (which, if they were able to be heard, might introduce a bit more variety into the mix).

As an example of the 'Eurovision' feel, I'll offer you this track from Blackpink, which, if dubbed into a Slavic language, could easily be a Eurovision entry from almost any eastern European nation:

I prefer cornflakes myself.

If I was going to seek out some excellent teen-oriented pop, I'd probably look closer to home than Korea.

Let's try Norway ;-)

K-Pop is best in the original Klingon :-)

If you would like some recommendations of artists then let me know

. . . or, for some pure bubble-gum pop, try the Netherlands ;-)

All sounds like *** pop rather than K-Pop

I don't know what K-Pop is.
Is it the name of a group?

[Buenchico]

K-pop, Barsel, is Korean pop music, which has a massive following around the world and with many groups performing it.

The best known group in the UK is possibly BTS, who've had several chart hits here, including this (which peaked at No. 3):

Thanks Chris. I need to get 'with it'.
