CazGirl Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Was that rumor true? Heard that in Europe Hyoyeon is one of most fave in SNSD and Yoona one of least and I thought it's just rumor! ha! Yes Yoona (Not same as my name. ) is perfect idol for Korean guys... Korean guys tend to love typical 'pale white rose' girlies than hot sexy girls.. Hyoyeon and Sooyoung is part of latter while Yoona and Taeyeon is former... It's interesting... really part of culture diffence! Surely Hyoyeon enjoys her fame in Europe I think... How about guys? what type of Kpop idol guy is loved most in Europe? (Not your personal fave, caz just in general... ) LOL oh no it's definitely true! We love our Hyoyeon She's so AWTHUM. Pale white Rose...do you think I'd fit in alright? Not the rose bit but definitely pale Ah my favourite is U-Know Yunho from TVXQ... He so sexy!! But lots of people loooove Big Bang...T.O.P is particular favourite (though not my taste per se), my friend loves GD...but SHINee are also really popular here...loads of girls love Taemin (wish they'd get rid of his extensions though!) and Key is absolutely beautiful. Ah all the members are popular really! Super Junior...also popular...though not many are a fan of Shindong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Junior...also popular...though not many are a fan of Shindong About guys it seems almost same... but about Super Junior I can't understand why they're popular there more than here Shinee...well first they did debut with '누난너무예뻐 -> donno what's called in Eng) I felt like kill someone when listen the song because of the extreamly cheesy lyrics! I hated that honestly!! But that song was kinda hit because of that cheesy thing but I igonored that for several years.. well but their latest single 'Sherlock' is so good and I was quite surprised cuz they evolved in very good way I'm not huge fan of any of those idol groups but GD&Top is very talented and quite like their songs these days..

CazGirl Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Oh' date=' I like that! What do you mean by American-sounding? Is it really that bad?[/quote'] Well Will.I.Am has worked with 2NE1 many times. They practically do dance music...not always...but it's mainly hip hop stuff which isn't my thing, but out of the Big 3 Agencies these are the most American influenced, musicality wise, I'd say. I really don't like 2NE1 that much, but this is their best song.

That stuff isn't usually too popular here.... I think thte sound is similar, but mainly its rap or more pop-contemporary like some of maroon 5 and things like that. Electro isn't very mainstream where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarryEyed<3 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Also, I'm curious as to what's really popular over there... I like Coldplay, Pixie Lott, but I don't know if they're really popular...

But they are dancey/hiphop/rap artists really. Good for parties I guess lol. People go nuts for "I Am The Best" and "Fantastic Baby"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarryEyed<3 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 That's cool then it really is really different from what I hear on the radio, a lot of what is popular here is mainstream pop. I personally have nothing against one direction, but I'm disappointed in some of their career choices, as they're really talented and I think they're beinng over listened... As for Adele, she is great and very talented, but from what I hear a lot of my friends don't like her and they criticize her... I don't know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon 5 and Jason Mraz latest album is going good...better than that Bieber or One direction things... and Mika's celebrate is going good in pop chart but we should see how the entire 3rd album would do... if he do some promo here, like Mraz or Maroon 5 does, he will do better i think... I can say that Katy Perry or One direction sells worse than Mika here.. maybe TBWNTM sold better than Bieber songs... am proud but it's just part of cultural stuff...

I actually quite One Direction's song "What Makes You Beautiful" so who's on radio most in Korea? f(x) just had a comeback with Electric Shock so I assume they're doing well.

And EXO have just concluded their activities. Super Junior comeback soon :boing: Well .... unlike most of other countries, in Korea, radio airplay is not that important and dont reflect recent hit songs. Instead we have some huge music download&live streaming websites, like Naver Music or Melon.. their streaming&download chart is much more important. Because they dominates music market already here, itunes chart never works good here.... it's kinda...different and somewhat unique.. On those charts, recent F(X) song is just 9th place.. a in chart, 'organic musicians' are doing better than Kpop idols here. Sometimes I think they're more popular abroad, like southeast Asia and Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
