The Guardian, "Bored by Cowell pop? Try K-pop"

The Guardian published the article, "Bored by Cowell pop? Try K-pop", on 15th December.

It introduces K-pop with the words,

"Korean pop music driven by soap operas, not reality TV is beginning to make serious inroads in the west."

Then it continues by mentioning Big Bang's win on the MTV EMAs 2011 which surprised many western viewers.

"The biggest surprise at last month's MTV European Music awards didn't come from the outfits chosen Lady Gaga, or that weird naked man roaming around the stage. In fact, the most unexpected moment arrived towards the end of the ceremony, when the winner of best worldwide act award was announced. The winners of the fan-driven award were Korean group Bigbang, who won 58m votes to beat Britney Spears. This was the one act that night most viewers wouldn't have known."

Beside that, it also mentions various K-pop artists such as Super Junior, Girls' Generation, G.NA and more.

    Kpop is amazing and their songs make much more sense than most English or Western songs!

    I hate articles like these because this is when anyone with a bias or an arrogant comment gets to open their ugly mouth and speak...well type. Ugh.

    Hurray for Big Bang. :)
    And Western music doesn't all around suck.

    The End.
