The Best K Pop Group: Big Bang
Now day’s Korean wave struck the world, including Malaysia. Whether their cloth, drama, food, variety show, and the music. What can I say is all items from korea will get response from people all over the world. it is a symptom of Korean wave. But did you know why all of this happens and why from day to day it is more spread? Actually the leader of Korean wave is their idol group or better known as k-pop group. They have so many groups in Korea but the best group for me is Shine, Big Bang, and Girl Generation.
The first group is Big Bang. . It is a South Korean male band under the management of YG Entertainment. Formed in 2006, Big Bang has grown to become one of the most successful Asian acts in the world. The group consists of G.Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung and Seungri. Big Bang is known for their unique urban-originated music and fashion style. The members' involvement in composing and producing their own music. In 2011 BigBang come back with Big Show concert and the album Tonight. The album also became the very first K-pop album to reach the Top 10 on US iTunes chart and is the only non-English language album in the Top 100. The most memorable for this group is when their won the 2011 MTV EMA's "Best Worldwide Act" award as representatives of the Asia-Pacific region with over 58 million votes. Since their release of Alive in 2012, Big Bang has received recognition from notable sites such as Rolling Stone, Ebony Magazine, Time Magazine, and a photo was featured on the Grammy Awards homepage. Their first world tour Big Bang Alive Galaxy Tour is directed by choreographer Laurieann Gibson and will be stopping on 5 continents, 16 countries, and 25 cities including in Malaysia this October.

    Korea lies in the eastern part of Asia. This peninsula is divided into two countries: North Korea and South Korea. Although there is a division of landscape, government, and culture, the bulk of people in Korea consider themselves a part of the Korean nation. Regardless of that, the countries do have their differences. The entire peninsula is cut off from Northeast China by rugged mountains and sizable rivers (Rowntree 365). The north suffers from heavy deforestation, however it has more natural resources. The south has made extensive reforestation efforts post WWII and so they have more greenery. In terms of culture, there are more intense differences. In the South, k-pop and Korean drams have gone global. The culture has appealed to people worldwide. Meanwhile, North Korea remains somewhat in isolation. What’s more, North Koreans attempt to flee into Northeast China, quite often. Yet no one flees South Korea. This shows that there are different cultures and levels of comfort in each…

    Moving to a New Country

    When you just come to South Korea, when the excitement of a new experience is past, you get surprised by the homogeneity of Koreans. In this country, everyone is literally alike: physically (more than other Asians like Mongolians or Kazakhs), their clothes’ style is the same, their gestures, their behaviour, their habits, and their tastes also. Koreans don’t like to be mixed, they believe and trust only their “race”. Usually, they stay in groups (only Koreans), move, work, and live in-group. One example is the word –my- don’t exist in Korean, it’s only –our- : my phone became our phone in South Korea. It’s clearly a collective society and not individualist, which explain their resemblance.…

They understood that in order to appeal globally and make it, they had to transform the popular K-pop music production to be more American. And today, in the soft power stage, K-pop is considered to be South Korea’s most powerful weapon on the world stage. Bringing in revenues of billions to the country and making the country a top recognized business hub for investors from around the…
