MTV has launched a new global music brand called MTV IGGY!
I guess you all probably know that thanks to the infamous
Yoona and Taeyeon criticized for being bored at their interview?. But you know, we aren't here to talk about that being the SNSD stans that we are, they were probably tired or something. Haha.
But anyway, why is this so special and why are we telling you about this here at Super-Kpop?
Because this proves that people are taking note of Kpop! Cheer for the hallyu wave!
Ok, MTV Iggy is not entirely about Kpop, it aims to connect U.S. audiences with global music culture which includes Kpop! :D So you can check out MTV Iggy if you want to experience more international music culture. However, most artistes they promotes seem to not be mainstream artistes. (I've looked at the Japanese and Taiwanese artistes and I am like NUGU??) So yeah, they tend to be more unique and MTV Iggy is a good way to discover these un-mainstream acts!
For Kpop however, they promote artistes like BoA, 2NE1 and Se7en just to name a few (mainstream!). Kpop artistes breaking into the USA will be featured on the shows I guess so do watch out for that. They feature stuff like interviews and photos, reviews and scenes!
We just think it is cool you know, that Kpop is no longer limited only on the Asian branch of MTV like MTV China and MTV SEA and is getting exposed to the US and a larger range of audiences all over the world now. So do check it out!
P/s: Discovered new Kpop act while surfing MTV Iggy. IDIOTAPE. Well their music ain't really my thing, but yay to know more about different Korean acts!
