Experience Korea through K-Pop


It’s been a long time since K-pop has been around, and the continual growth of the K-pop community over the past few years has been nothing short of remarkable. Their international reach is stronger than ever, and the music is creating not the metaphorical ripples in the global music taste but unimaginably loud bangs. Whether you have been a hardcore fan for years or just jumped into the bandwagon recently, here are the few very best K-pop bands anyone can enjoy listening to. Experience raunchiness, explosive glamour and skip-beat music. Experience Korea.


      1.     BTS

It’s not possible to say K-pop and finish the sentence without mentioning BTS in the same breath. BTS is arguably THE most popular K-pop group around the globe, and not without reason. They have reached #1 on iTunes in over 65 countries, have held first place on Billboard’s Social 50 chart for 114 weeks in a row, and they just embarked on their first U.S. stadium tour in May.  The group mixes hip-hop, pop, some EDM and rap into their body of work with their three rappers (RM, Suga, and J-hope) and four singers (Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook). Just watch one video of theirs to understand how they became such a global phenomenon.

      2.     Blackpink

If there is one K-pop band you just can’t resist to dance to, it has to be Blackpink. Jennie Kim, Lisa, Jisoo and Rosé bring stardust into their music with every syllable and once they have made it into your life, you will find them impossible to let go. Considered one of this generation’s most popular K-pop acts, every song Blackpink has released went on to be a massive hit. Experience Korea and its very best all-girl K-pop band, and do try to resist the urge to learn Blackpink’s amazing choreography. I dare you.

      3.     Monsta X

K-pop’s bad boys definitely deserve a spot on your playlist. Topping multiple music charts and breaking hearts all over the place, you'll understand Monsta X's popularity the minute you hit play. Bringing some hip-hop, EDM , and pop to the plate, every Monsta X song is a universe you’ll want to immerse yourself in. Layers and layers of fierce vocals meet a vehement rap line in each of their songs, and there is nothing worth watching more live.

      4.     Chung Ha

K-pop isn’t just about the groups. There are some soloists leaving a mark in the K-pop world. In the case of Chung Ha, its not so much a mark as it is a crater-like dent. Originally part of a 10 girl group, I.O.I, after its disbandment, Chung Ha decided to pave her way on a solo path and the rest is history. If you don’t like absolutely vibrant vocals and music you can break a leg to, not to mention her amazing dance sets, well what do you know, she is too good for you.

      5.     Girls’ Generation

Ever wondered what K-pop classics are? Girls’ Generation is what you are looking for. Every K-pop groupie around the world have been touched by these amazing nine girls, catching the eye with their signature youthful soul, vibrant and fun songs and videos. In many ways, its credit to Girls’ Generation that K-pop is even a global phenomenon now and fans still shed a tear having heard their electro-bubblegum sound mature with time and the girls turn to women right in front of their eyes. While they may not be performing together any longer, they have made a home in our hearts, probably for life.

There are countless more K-pop bands, coming up with their unique music, sweeping us off our feet with the glitter, gloss and glamour that is K-pop. What are some of your favorite ones we might have missed to mention? Let us know, in the comments hit. Experience Korea with XcelTrip and make memories that last a lifetime.

Visit The Wonderland Of Natural Attractions, Costa Rica

Image
Costa Rica is a wonderland of natural attractions, with volcanoes, beaches, cloud forests, and unique wildlife. This is a country that appeals as much to birdwatchers and luxury focused travellers as it does to surfers and backpackers. The busy city of San Jose is home to the country’s best museums and lovely squares, but the real treasures lie beyond the capital, in the forests and small coastal villages. Endless stretches of beach line the Pacific Coast, with small towns that cater to surfers and sun seekers. Inland, the forest-covered mountains offer their own adventures, from volcanoes and waterfalls to ziplining and extraordinary wildlife viewing. Costa Rica also has shoreline on the Caribbean. While this is a lesser visited area of the country, it offers something a little different in terms of culture and attractions, and is known in particular as a breeding ground for green sea turtles.

Description of the sights of China brings us to the idea of an encyclopedia. In this country there are so many remarkable places that are interesting for tourists that talking about a short list is even somehow offensive. The names of the sights of China include museums and temples, both Buddhist and other religions and faiths. These are whole streets and cities, areas and natural parks, mountains and bays, rivers and deserts. These are gorges and rocks of an unusual shape, these are temples hanging on the rocks, and bridges of a futuristic look. The Palace Museum Housing over 690,000 artefacts, the National Palace Museum in Taipei is a treasure trove of Chinese culture.
