K-Pop Songs

With the Winter Olympics being hosted by South Korea this year, I decided to finally dedicate a post entirely to K-Pop music – a genre which, if you didn't know, is based exclusively in South Korea and has become wildly successful throughout all of Asia and across the world. Essentially, it's a very upbeat, dance-y pop style, generally accompanied by elaborate and very colorful music videos. While there was a wide variety of popular K-pop artists I could have chosen, this post focuses entirely on the female singers and groups. Mainly because I really don't like boy bands...much less boy bands singing in a language unfamiliar to me. SorryNotSorry! Enjoy?  ~  JH
