I AM A BIG FAN OF KPOP

K-pop (Korean: 가요, Gayo) (an abbreviation of Korean pop or Korean popular music) is a musical genre consisting of pop, dance, electro pop, hip hop, rock, R&B, electronic music originating in South Korea. In addition to music, K-pop has grown into a popular subculture among teenagers and young adults around the world, resulting in widespread interest in the fashion and style of Korean idol groups and singers.

Through the presence of Face book fan pages, availability on iTunes, Twitter profiles, and music videos on YouTube, the ability of K-pop to reach a previously inaccessible audience via the Internet is driving a change in the exposure and popularity of the genre. South Korean popular culture is today serving as a major driver of youth culture all across the Pacific Rim, with special reference to China, Hong Kong ,Japan, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.

I am a big fan of KPOP. I am very interested in their music and drama.  I have been exposed to the world of Korea ways since 2009 through my friends. Start that year, I very-very interested in whatever Korea drama and Korea music. Korea music gives me inspiration to do something and improve my spirit when I feel bored.

Next, the famous group in Korea is Super Junior, Girl Generation, Wonder Girl, Big Bang and many more.  The group that I really-really interested is Super Junior, Girl Generation and Big Bang. While the drama that increase the name of Korea is Winter Sonata. Who do not know Korea drama Winter Sonata? I think everyone knows right? This drama has something that can touch our emotion and heart of the audience.

I will share my new hobby. Because I really-really interested in KPOP, I start to collect and buy anything about Kpop.  Every month I will buy magazines that contain Kpop news. I also collect poster Kpop artist. Now I have a lot of poster and magazine about Kpop. My social networking also contains about Kpop and many link in my social networking related to Korea. Not only that, I also learn how and where to download Korea drama. Now I have a lot of Korea Drama in my room and in my hardisk. I also buy Korea Drama through online. I became a loyalty customer to my buyers.

Advantage and Disadvantages of Blogging

Blogging is popular among the people in today’s society, especially amongst teenagers. In fact, the number of blogs is exploding, with about 14 million existing blogs. On average, the number of blogs is doubling every five months.

There are many advantages of blogging. Firstly, people can use as an online dairy, using it to share the day’s happening in her life with other visitors on the net. Furthermore, if the blogger (author of the blog) has met up with certain incidents in her life, he can share it on the blog and others can console or praise him, by giving comments or leaving a message in the blog’s tag board, depending on the incident. Blogging can also be a good way to relieve stress as some way want to use their blog to vent out their frustration or pour out their woes when stress becomes too much for them. Some bloggers even use their blogs to flaunt their literati skills by posting poems about themselves or things around them.

Secondly, bloggers can also use their blogs to inform others on a certain topic which happens to be his niche, thus allowing others who are interested in the topic to learn some tricks from the blog, they are also post questions to the blogger if they meet up with problems. Other organisations are also using blogs to make announcements to all of its members, as it is a fast and quick way to convey messages to one another.

Anyone can have a blog. The blogger does not necessary need to know how to write complicated hypertext to own a blog. However, knowing how to do so may just allow you to create personalised blog templates or blogskins, in blogging language. Your blog is your world, you choose any topic from and the sun and speak about it, and may it be personal anecdotes or political commentary. Furthermore, it is free!

However, there are also many disadvantages of blogging. Blogs may be a easy way to vent one’s spleen, bloggers should be careful of what they say on their blogs as blogs are easily assessable. Example in the United States, many employers have fired their employees due to their posts on their blogs.. More serious cases can also be punishable by law.
Next, the hate speech on blogs targeted at some specific people might also hurt the targeted victims emotionally, the bloggers might also touch on inflammatory topics such as religion and intentionally or unintentionally hurt a certain group of people. One might think that blogs can be edited or amended, many a time this leads to reckless behaviour in their posts, but once the damage is done, nothing much can be done to salvage the situation. Last but not least, bloggers may infringe copyright laws by posting some material online that might lead to the offenders being prosecuted by law.

In conclusion, blogging has many advantages that many can benefit from, but bloggers would have to beware of the pitfalls or find themselves in hot soup. The blogging society would need to watch what it says or else it might hurt others emotional or cause something that might run out of hand.
