uhm, i guess music has no bounderies...... so is the language.
SuJu is my first korean idol group and probably the only and last idol group id ever listened to and i so liked their music yet i dont understand one bit. and i enjoy wantching korean dramas too... soo i dont really think language becomes that kind of a huge barrier when it comes to liking something... english subs are always there..LOL

well i'm asian, but not korean,,,,

i first got into anime,then japanese music,,,and since BoA was korean and sang japanese songs, i was introduced to korean music and my friends were korean,,, Then i remember going to random mp3 rotation sites and fell upon 'se7en'. And then suju->dbsk->BIG BANG->wonder girls->girls generation and korean dramas/fashion : D

the very first korean singer i listened to was eugene kim because of her drama wonderful life, then i watched full house (bi & shk)
while looking some NG videos i found BoA's video while she's dancing/singing the three bears song, so i got interested and searched some of her MVs and i found Moto, GOT and Valenti. I really liked the song valenti so i searched her performances and i landed in DBSK's video while singing that song and loved the way junsu danced. after that i started to discover more SM artists.

Im vietnamese, living in aus.
I'm obsessed with korean ohmy.gif
Got into it since year 7.
Friends told me about a band with 13 guys, super junior
and i was like WTH haha
and i googled em and youtubed em,
they turned out to be pretty HOT and hilarious
and now im into more korean bands of course like big bang and ft island and kdramas.
I get updated from Popseoul and other blogs and soompi.

Koreans are so pretty
I wish i was korean sad.gif

My friends are into kpop/jpop as well
and we all gossip about it and update each other biggrin.gif!
Others say How can you like it,
You don't even know what their saying.
Well as long as it sounds good (Y)
Sometimes i read the eng subs too.
I find korean entertainment better/funny than Aus/us entertainment
I don't even listen to much eng music or watch austalian tv much and movies
I'm so weird yeah, lolllllllllllllllll

One day I'm going to Korea for sure.

J ROCK ==> my BFF is a huge fan of FMA so one day she looks up their theme song [err main song, whatever] and finds out it's L'Arc... she gets into Hyde... forces me to watch Moon Child w/her.... i fall for Gackt and eventually discover other JRock artists...


K POP ==> i looked up gackt on youtube and came across a vid called "DBSK vs. GACKT vs. MIYAVI" and then i researched DBSK and well... the rest is history

I got into Korean music because of J-pop. I was into those JE boybands and wFL until I eventually got bored and then found out about Dong Bang Shin Ki. And then I started to watch Arirang (the channel) and found out about other artists, etc.

Right now I'm not really into just K-pop or J-pop or C-pop only, I like to listen to a little of everything. : )

I'm not Korean, but I'm Asian =.=

ANYways...my friend and i were on MSN one day and she sent me a link to SJ's Don't Don/.
I fell in love with the song, but was majorly confused at why there were 13 people in the band =P
After that, I listened to more songs and thus got into kpop.

But I've listened to kpop before my friend sent me that song...
I used to listen to a few Boa songs a few years ago.

i'm asian xP
i was a bit white washed when I moved here because there was practically no asians where i lived, i listened to mainstream western music and very limited chinese artists. then i bought ayu cds and mika nakashima cds when i was back in china, so it was jpop/jrock for a while, and then on to boa's jpop releases, and eventually led me to listen to other artists because (sorry to boa fans) i wasn't extremely into boa's music.
