When in Korea, one thing that one cannot avoid is Korean popular music widely known as K-pop. Most of the time, the songs are sung in Korean but surprisingly artists sometimes sing in English, too. The music takes inspiration from the western genre of RnB and Hiphop. Koreans have added their own style to make the songs their own. Songs are heard in train stations, supermarkets, shops, bus stations and buses. No doubt the Koreans certainly love their music. One of the most popular songs at the time of our travel was ‘Good Girl, Bad Girl’ of the Korean girl band known as ‘Miss A.’ A popular artist in Korea today is Rain. He is a renowned actor, having appeared in a couple of Hollywood films including ‘Speed Racer’ (2008). His popular songs include ‘I’m Coming’ and ‘Rainism.’
