Kpop Real Talk: Music Videos




Things have already begun to heat up in the world of K-pop for 2014, with the return of two amazing legends, DBSK and Rain, along with Girl’s Day. However, there are several conversational topics that continue to surface up particular dealing with music videos.  Here is the list of topics: race, culture appropriation, misrepresentation, and sexualization. From my observation these topics will to continue to be a roller coaster ride dividing Kpop fans and non-Kpop fans. A majority of those topics, we deal with on a daily basis, and can be use to analyze various types of media, regardless of what background we come from.
