An interesting article

Sometimes we feel like setting ourselves on fire when we try to write essays like,


But it helps if you are trying to write about something wonderful and something that you feel passionately for. Like KPOP!!!

I know because I have tried to squeeze in stuff like the Korean/Hallyu wave and the use of it as soft power to gain dominance in the world (kpop fuels a large economy). Or how technology has evolved leading to spread of cultures(korean culture) so fast. Or using KPOP to show emergence of youth cultures which turn into mainstream cultures. The best part is of course using group bands in exam essays like a boss! Eg, We can see how TVXQ has managed to break into many global markets and they even have the largest fanclub in the world! or SM Entertainment, a korean talent agency managed to have sold out concerts at Madison Square at NYC, an incredible feat for them considering they have not officially debuted in the US.

Well here is an article by Linda Constant which might be helpful for you people out there needing to write essays regarding Hallyu. Can erm, borrow some ideas about how kpop is one of the ways soft power is exerted over the world. And in her article we see how KPOP is taking over the world baby~~ Share the Kpop love everyone!

If your teachers disagree, well,





MTV Iggy


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!
