Korean pop or K-pop has been the craze in recent years with its catchy tunes, sharp choreography, and funky outfits. One of the many charms of K-pop songs is that we wouldn’t know how fun or sad the lyrics are until we look up the translation for the lyrics that are masked by upbeat and catchy tunes. Groups like Blackpink, BTS, Twice, and NCT have been among the front runners of the genre, in recent years. With fun choreography, bright music videos, and often catchy lyrics, the ‘summer’ or upbeat K-pop songs never fail to make people happy and excited.
