Korean pop music (K-pop) has taken over global music charts in recent years. While many may think of Psy and his infamous single “Gangnam Style,” the list of notable K-pop musicians who are making their way into the American music market is ever growing. From quirky and cute love songs to hip-hop and rap jams, K-pop offers music everyone can find enjoyable. But with several dozen K-pop groups releasing music constantly, it may be hard to keep up with all the latest tunes. Whether you’re a K-pop fanatic or simply a little curious, here is a breakdown of some top artists to check out.
Recently, I wrote a story on a pop-punk band that peaked about 10 years ago called Cute Is What We Aim For. They played at High Dive two weeks ago as part of the band’s 10-year-anniversary tour for their only commercially successful release. I was originally irked by the idea of some old one-hit wonder cashing in on the nostalgia of 20-somethings who used to shop at Hot Topic; after all, I used to shop at Hot Topic. I felt cheated after I interviewed the guys from CIWWAF and learned they haven’t written any new material since 2008. Who were they to stop making music for almost a decade and just jump back into the scene 10 years later? Then I considered why the band quit in the first place. They released a hugely successful album in 2006 through a small indie label. In 2008, after getting signed to Atlantic Records, their sophomore album flopped, and they were dropped from the record label.
