What is the name of this kpop boyband ,10 points?
before i was into kpop i saw a couple videos of this kpop boy band and and now i cant rememer the name. I remember one of the members had orange hair. But not the regular orange color that asians usually put on their hair. He had a regular asian hairstyle YET his hair was extreamly orange！！！ like basically neon orange if there is such a thing.... Can you please name some kpop band where one of the members looks like this and hey it might be the one im talking about :D Thanks
As unbiased as possible, what is your opinion on this Korean boy group's latest video? (BTS's DNA) What stood out to you the most?
The aesthetics of the video are actually very unique compared to previous concepts they did. “Spring Day” had a pastel-esque feel, which many kpop groups have done. “Not Today” actually had unique aesthetics, but it wasn’t anything mindblowing either. “Blood Sweat and Tears” was unique for a kpop music video, but a lot of groups do the same “rich prince” concept (for example, Monsta X with “Beautiful.”) Their music videos before that often followed what was mainstream at the time.“DNA,” however, has a very retro vibe and the colors are immensely saturated and satisfying. Their music video for “Blood Sweat and Tears,” the Japanese version, has a similar concept, but “DNA” brings out the colors much more.Other than that, while watching the video, I noticed that while there were many scenes with color saturation, they also included softer scenes, like when the bridge is coming to a conclusion. Colors weren’t emphasized in those scenes.The song, in general, is different from other kpop groups and the concepts they’ve done. I have personally never seen any other kpop group come close to their new concept, because it’s almost all over the place (in a good, way, of course). Their song, as far as I know, is not very similar to any songs that any other mainstream boy groups have done. BTS is a very unique group and stays on top of the trends, which is impressive, in my opinion.

Why have K-pop stars become so popular in America within the past few years?
Kpop is known these past few years in the West only to those who loves Kpop and those open minded persons who loves various kind of music. Not just Americans but also those who lives in America.I think i don't have to answer your question anymore coz above post says it all. I'm here to state facts about the achievement of Kpop, particularly BTS.BUT last year, 2017 is one of the biggest break of Kpop in the US because of BTS. Aside from Psy, who is a rapper and the singer of the famous Gangnam Style, BTS is the first and the most powerful Kpop group to break records of Kpop in US. The doors of Western music industry was opened for Kpop and they got a lot of attention because of armys. One of the biggest fandom of a boy group/music artists.FIRST, BTS got nominated and won as Top Social Artist on BBMAs over JB and other US artists. It may just an award for others but it’s a big award for those who stan Kpop, Armys and Koreans. BTS also debuted in AMAs singing their hit single DNA, which has over 200m views on Yt now. They were interviewed by Ellen and performed Mic Drop and DNA. they also performed in Jimmy Kimmel Live with 5 songs and they played Flinch which James Corden. Releasing their hit single Mic Drop with Steve Aoki which has over 100m views on Yt. They are praised by other US Artists because of their achievements. Collab in the future: BTSxCharliePuth
How did you get into K-pop music entertainment?
-How do people get into K-pop?How can you not?Many doesn't like K-pop because it seems childish or ridiculous, like, come on, adults are singing and dancing while wearing a high school uniform? Some of them are even 25+ years old.Gross, right?-WRONG.Those bands that are everywhere with huge fandoms like, EXO, BTS, TWICE etc. pretty much deserves it, and they've been training for YEARS, dancing and singing and I heard that their training is also really hard.They've been training hard for their dreams to come true, they're really good at singing and dancing and many of them are good looking too.Just by recognizing their efforts, how can you not applaud them and not get into k-pop ?They're amazing. Try dancing with 6 or more people in sync while also singing fabulously while not gasping for air with those hard as fuck dance steps.Darn. That's difficult.And nope, they're not really that old most of them are young and passionate about their jobs. There's nothing wrong with it.I'm not really into k-pop that much anymore, (I used to be obsessed with it lol) but I still listen to a lot of their catchy songs. I admire their hard work and good looks and voice and dancing skills, and just their amazing uniqueness.Oh, yeah! I forgot.How do people get into K-pop?I think I haven't answered your question, sorry, got swayed by the moment.How? Easy!Open YouTubeSearch whatever K-pop group you want, whether it's a boy or a girl group. Your choice!Watch and admire their looks, voice, amazing choreography, their efforts and passion.Read, watch, everthing about them, write fanfics, buy merch, draw fan arts memorize their songs and dance steps etc.Be obsessed over them. And before you know it.Congratulations, welcome to the fandom.There's no turning back now.
Is it okay for me to let my 12-year-old listen to Korean music, like BTS and EXO?
My sister is currently 13yo, she came to know about k-pop 4 years ago and started to listen to it more since the last year.I don’t see problem with that. She isn’t like some young k-pop fangrils dreaming about her “oppa” and arguing about ships.Some people might dissaprove this but she likes even songs with MVs like Triple H - 365 days. As some of you know there is suicide, violence and a bit sexual content, but I let her like/watch whatever she wants, because she has more “mature” opinions. She understands message of MV, appreciate colors/compositions/lightning/good cut; and most of all korean idols inspire/motivate her.She is a fan of Hyuna, Pentagon, BTS, Seventeen, NCT, JoKwon, Stray kids, MiSo, Sunmi, Jackson Wang, Got7, Dreamcatcher, Red velvet, Holland, EXO, Blackpink, …I think that not every kid should watch 15–18+ types of MVs but it depends on individual kid and MV. (I mean plz there are MVs like Holland - Neverland which shouldn’t be 18+) She has good posture towards these things. She grew up with me so I guess that she has this point of view because of me. .-.Fan fact - since she is young, she searches for young idols - because of which her favorite ones are usually maknaes like Jungkook - BTS, Jisung - NCT, Sana -Astro,~I ended up with answering a bit differently but if question was about listening to k-pop as a whole, then there isn’t really reason against that. Idols are on cameras humble, hardworking and polite. I think that there are some good role models.
