Learning Korean Through K-Pop

Big Bang – Bad Boy

“Bad Boy” isn’t Big Bang’s latest song, but it is my favorite song out of the ones they’ve released since their comeback to the music industry as a group. After having a tumultuous time, it was a gamble as to how Big Bang would be received by the public when they released their album; alas, the worry was for nothing as Big Bang dominated once again upon making their comeback and are continuing to dominate. Good to see! Let’s jump on into the lyrics!

Sistar - Loving U

I have found that in the past, I’ve learned and familiarized myself with certain Korean words by hearing them repeatedly in K-Pop songs. If I heard a familiar word but didn’t know the definition, sometimes I would look it up, and sometimes I wouldn’t. In order to help widen my Korean vocabulary I have decided to start this blog, and in this blog I will utilize K-Pop songs to familiarize myself with words I may not know. Much more fun than rote memorization, right? This blog is mostly a project I am doing for my own benefit, but if others can get something out of it as well, that’s great. 이제 시작합시다!

The first song I will look at is Sistar’s latest, “Loving U”.
