Marigold's Guide to KPOP

Welcome to...

Marigold's Guide to K-POP!!!!1

Hold onto your hats!!!

I may go a bit crazy with this, so stop me when I do.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of K-Pop!

The K-pop fandom can get a bit crazy, I must warn you.

So WATCH YOURSELF!!!!

Okay, let's start!

K-Pop Vocabulary:

Kpop: Korean pop music, which is popular everywhere, even that one island that nobody knows about.  Once you enter, you can never come out...

Aegyo: Aegyo means cuteness, so it's whne a Kpop idol does something cute, such as whine and/or act childish.  Some people like it, some people don't.

Maknae: The youngest of a Kpop group.

Daebak: It basically means AWESOME! or WOW!

Bias: ohh boy.  OHH BOY. In K-pop terms, it means when you love an idol, or it's your favorite one of the group.  when you love someone but they don't and won't ever know you even exist.

Ok I think you've learned enough vocabulary time to DIVE DEEPER INTO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF KPOP

Now you will get to learn about some of the most popular and my personal  favorite K-Pop bands and hopefully you can find your soon-to-be favorite one too!!!


we will start with my most favoritest Kpop band of all time...



BTS!!!!

cough I love this photo 

Members from Left to Right: V, Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, Jungkook, rAp Monster

Things you must know before entering this magical world:  This is probably the most craziest Kpop fandom.  They can get quite insane. Make sure you don't dive too deep.  shoot that probably wasn't a normal way to say what I meant to say. just WATCH OUT.  also know they make good music and there isn't a single uncatchy song by them.  and they are all huge memes.

Fandom Name: ARMY (Adorable Representative MC for Youth)

Songs You Must Check Out: "Dope", "Blood, Sweat and Tears", and "Spring Day".  "Dope", because WHY NOT!?!? it is a good starter, and almost every ARMY started out with "Dope".  "Blood, Sweat and Tears" because this is seriously THE CATCHIEST SONG YOU WILL EVER HEAR and it is so AESTHETICALLY PLEASING. Mhmm I get warm thoughts just thinking about it now.  its really beautiful. "Spring Day", because it's a good change from the other two; they are all loud and hype-ish.  But "Spring Day" is just so slow, but beautiful, and so colorful, it makes me so happy just thinking about it.  ahh tears are flowing from my eyelids I must warm you it is sad though. I just AIGHHH!!!!

I should probably stop now. 

Okay onto the next one!!!

GOT7!!!!

cough this picture is "Just Right" heh heh

Members from Left to Right: TOP: Yugyeom, JB, Youngjae, BOTTOM: Mark, Junior, Jackson, Bambam

dont question their names

Things you must know before entering this magical world: This fandom is actually tame.  They're not that big in America, well wait, they are, like they come to America for concerts a lot, but not as popular in America as BTS is.  A cool thing is that in my opinion, all their songs sound quit different from one another.  But I find that to be a really cool thing.

Fandom Name: iGOT7

Songs You Must Check Out:  "Just Right".  Oh my goodness.  This song is just so beautiful.  It's rally cute and childish, in a good way, and in their top 3 most popular songs.  This song was so annoying to me in a good way, and it's what got me into the fandom.  and the MUSIC VIDEO AHHH! they're so cute in the music video! They're all really tiny and they make a girl feel better and AHHH!!!!! just check it out.  Please.  

"If You Do".  This song is really good, with pretty backgrounds, and a catchy tune.  The choreography is FANTASTIC and I love their outfits.  They also sing BEAUTIFULLY and the rappers rap beautifully, I guess...

"You Are." This song was just released a little over 10 days ago, so you should support it by viewing it 100 times on yOUTUBE.  The settings are really beautiful aND SO arE tHEY MHHHHMMMMHMHM

help.

EXO

these are the remaining members of EXO


Members From Left to Right, if thats Possible?: TOP: Xiumin, Baekhyun, Chen, D.O., BOTTOM: Suho, Chanyeol, Sehun, and Kai.

shtooot im not lying i did not type this i PINKY SWEAR

okay where were we

Things You Must Know before Entering this Magical World: There is an amazing sub-unit, but ill talk about that later.  There used to be 12 members, but there were issues.  But now there are 8, and it is great.  here is a picture of the OG EXO with 12 members

 

It is still nice with only 8. EvAn Is BacK I HaTe lAy
im not lettimig evan back on the computer while im blogging. 

Songs You Must Check Out:  "Power".   "Power" was released about a month and a half ago, and the song is what really got me into the EXO life.  It is really cool and there's lotsa english.  Theres also a cat.  it is also quite the catchy tune.

"Ko Ko Bop".  "Ko Ko Bop" was released on mid-July, and it is REGGAE MAN.  It is a good song and Baekhyun has a MULLET. A MULLET. AHHHHH!!

"Growl".  Oh man.  hOW COULD I NOT TALK ABOUT "growl" !!??
 "Growl" is the song that made EXO popular.  It was also released on my birthday!!!  It is dancy and catchy, and UPBEAT.  WATCH IT NOW IT IS AN EARWORM.

what I was talking about earlier was EXO's sub-unit, EXO-CBX.  It has 3 members, Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen.  They've only really had 1 single, i think.  But it's such a good song.  so check that one out too.  it's called "Hey Mama". NOW.

this is getting a little out of hand.



BIGBANG!!!

cough i know the picture is probably too big but whatevs heh heh

Members from Left to Right: Daesung, G-Dragon, Seungri, Taeyang, and T.O.P.

Fandom Name: VIP

Things You Must Know Before Entering this Magical World:  THis is a really old Kpop band.  It wsa one of the first popular ones.  So we've got MVs for DAYS.  They're 0also a lot older than the previous bands I just mentioned, but not TOO old.  Andtheir songs can get a bit out of hand *cough cough "Bae Bae" cough couch*.  but WERE BIG KIDS! WE CAN HANDLE IT!

Songs to Check Out: "Bang Bang Bang".  This song is SO HYPE MAN I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN.  you just gotta check it out for yourself man.  there are no words to explain.

"Fantastic Baby".  This song is A LEGEND.  ITS MORE OF A LEGEND THEN GANGNAM STYLE.  its soooooo cool and its magic.  but watch out, young ones! its reated 15 and up...

I feel bad for typing this, so lets just say it starts with an F then 2 XXs and then a K and then the word IT.  It's honestly a really good song, with nice coloors.  It's their most latest song ever made, and it was released December 12th, 2016!!  Us VIPs are suspecting it will be their last song, and were worried SICK!  It's a really good "Farewell" type of song. UGH IM SOBBING THEY WILL COME BACK THEY WILL THEY WILL THEY WILL I JUST KNOW IT

i better stop now
