Ok, so Korean pop music might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I recently discovered it (Kat Graham from TVD mentioned it in an interview) and since then I can't stop listening to it. Asian pop music in general is very preppy, bubblegum pop with fast-paced squeaky songs, mostly in an annoying way. My favourite k-pop band is Girls' Generation (SNSD, SoShi), and I think they got the balance of enthusiasm and good songs just right. They are one of the most successful artists in their genre and are signed in Korea, Japan, the US and France. They have 9 members; Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyun.
Their best song, in my opinion, is Gee (over 69m views on YouTube), other great songs include The Boys, Genie, Mr. Taxi and Run Devil Run. They're incredibly catchy and I like to pretend that I can understand what they're saying and that I can dance as well as they can.
Super Junior, 2NE1, Big Bang are also k-pop groups, but their music is more edgy and not really to my liking. However, Girls' Generation are awesome, and they should definately become more popular in the UK.
