Korean music finally gets noticed by our press, and its this one? lol. Okay, I think Wonder Girls or Girls Generation have appeared on American TV (Live with Kelly and David Letterman Show)

I still prefer T-Ara, 4 Minute, 2NE1 etc.

I have seen that Rock and Heavy Metal fans are displeased at Gangnam Style. In S. Korea, Rock fans are not only displeased but downright hostile. They are not usually into K-pop, Psy or otherwise, but somehow react strongly(in a negative way) toward Oppan Gangnam Style, while they tend to be casually dismissive of other K-pops.

Have you seen or heard Vanilla Lucy (with Bae da Hae as the lead singer)? I love their style which features a quartet with a cello, a violin, an E flat clarinet and a classically trained singer. Their compositions are rather eclectic and certainly not quite K-Pop style. I’ve not seen much about them lately since da Hae went solo.

I’ve also discovered two guys who called themselves “10cm” (one is 10 cm taller than the other). One plays guitar and the other sings. He has a great voice.

I’ve fallen in love with Kolleen Park whom I think you’ve surely heard of. She is a US citizen by birth, has a wonderful and powerful voice and IMO, is stunningly beautiful.

What I find interesting about “Psy” is that he too, like Kolleen Park, studied music in the US. She in California and he at Boston University and the Berklee School of Music.
