When I first hear the term K-pop, Gangman Style automatically comes to mind and I'm sure that is the same for many people around my age that live in Australia. Gangman style became a world-wide sensation in 2012 with reaching millions of views on YouTube. This was for me was my first ever introduction to K-pop and I wasn't sure how I should react to this new type of music. At the time One Directions album 'Take Me Home' was my favourite CD to listen to which is totally different Gangman Style. It amazed me that I was interested in both these types of music because they are so diverse. For example during PSY's music video there are a lot of scenes that I would call 'unusual' to be had in a music video but this is what drew me to this song. It is something that I wasn’t used to; it was different but it was a good different. K-Pop is something that is very unique within the music industry. It gives an altered spin on what I know to be ‘pop’ music. From clothes and costumes that are worn by groups to the K-Pop fans, there seems to always be a unique spin on things. K-Pop it is not only just a genre of music but it is a way that people can express their thoughts and feelings in a way that is acceptable in society.
