If you are a serious music buff, it is a good idea to expand your horizons from time to time. Instead of limiting your scope to genres you are familiar with, you should widen your scope to include things that are new to you. Korean pop music is quickly gaining popularity across the globe. Here are all of the reasons you should add some of it to your playlist.

One of the main reasons to listen to this type of music is simple: It is far different from listening to American pop. After listening to most pop songs for quite some time, things began to be a bit formulaic. Expanding your horizons and introducing Korean music to your repertoire will offer you a sense of variety; something that is often lost when listening to all of the traditional pop music that is available in the United States.

Koreans make a huge deal when they are selecting concepts for each album they release. It is not as simple as having fun, being in love or something mundane. Typically, two albums are released each year and they go all out to make sure that each of them is quite different and pushes the edge a bit. For instance, their first album of the year may have an alien theme and the second will have a jungle vibe. It is always fun to see what they will come up with each time.

The genre encompasses a myriad of different styles, so it is easy for everyone to find something that they like. Perhaps you are someone who likes pop that borders hip-hop, or maybe pop-rock is more your speed. Regardless of what your preferences are, they have music that will suit you.

Many of their songs are beyond catchy. Even if you have no idea what they are saying, the way the lyrics flow and the sound of the music is more than enough to make the average person stand up and take notice. While not technically a K-Pop song, did you see how popular Gangnam Style was when it was released?

Instead of taking my word for it, you should think about listening to some Korean pop music for yourself. Even if you are not someone who will end up being a serious fan, at the very minimum you will have expanded your horizons and opened yourself up to something new and exciting.
