A new section dedicated to K-Pop has been added to the website! I previously posted various articles focused on K-Pop, which can be found in the “other” category of the blog. Now, I decided to dedicate an entire section to this crazy world, since it’s a passion I’ve had for many years.
The K-Pop section will include different types of articles, starting with as series of beginner guides that introduce several different groups and artists, explaining their concept, themes, musical style, and also some songs to listen to. The main page can be found here, and presents ten of the most popular K-Pop groups. If you want to know more, check out the pages dedicated to girl groups, boy groups, co-ed groups, female soloists, and male soloists. These guides are constantly a work in progress, they will be expanded over time with new groups and artists, and will be updated if necessary.
More guides to the world of K-Pop will also be included here, such as articles explaining the origin and meaning of the names of K-Pop groups and idols. The main page listing all the introductory guides published about K-Pop so far can be found by checking this page: K‑Pop explained: beginner guides to understand this crazy world.
Another type of article you will find in the K-Pop section are a series of deep analyses of the grammar and vocabulary of the songs by Loona, my favorite K-Pop group. You can find the introductory page to this series under “Learn Korean with K-Pop“, and from there you can navigate to each song that has been analyzed so far. While I’m not at all fluent in Korean, I found that making this type of analysis helped me a lot, so I decided to publish the notes I initially made for myself, hoping that they can help someone else too. However, since I’m still learning, I have to admit that I can’t be 100% sure that everything is always correct, but I do my best to check everything multiple times. Once again, this section is a work in progress and currently only features the first few songs. There won’t be a fixed upload schedule, but more songs will be added over time as I finish every analysis, so I suggest checking the main “Learn Korean with K-Pop” page every once in a while to see the new updates.
Beyond these two sub-sections, I will also post other articles focused on K-Pop, which aren’t included in any category at the moment. Right now, you can find a post explaining the origin and meaning of the names of K-Pop groups and idols.
The new K-Pop section of the website is only at its beginning, and it will evolve over time with more articles and content dedicated to this world. Stay tuned for more updates!
