Kpop Meets Black Women (tumblr) Review

It’s not very easy being an international Kpop fan - especially if you are a person of colour. The reason for this, I am honestly not sure. I wonder if it is because Kpop exists outside of the stereotyped idea of what persons of colour are supposed to like. For some time now I’ve noticed that it’s especially worse when you're black. One such site that explores the intersection between Kpop fans and black people - specifically black women - is Kpop Meets Black Women . Now I’ve checked out this site a few times and there are lots of things here that you find on a typical fan website, regardless of what or who said website is dedicated too. With that said I have noticed that this site gets loads of negative attention for being what it is. That is why I have decided to review it, like I would anything else. It took me a while to put together because I have some strong opinions on this particular website and the amount of hate it receives on a regular basis. With that being said, I ho...

11 Great Quotes made to inspire

When I first started my internship there was something that really bugged me about my little corner cubicle. It wasn’t my desktop computer that looked a bit lonely where it was placed in the center my strangely curved desk. Nor was it the company phone on which I had just learnt how to transfer calls. The thing that was bothering me subconsciously was how blank and bland everything seemed. It all looked empty. Usually I’m all for the simple things especially since I can sometimes be easily distracted but I didn’t like how I felt when I looked at my desk. It felt as if by the end of the day if I wasn’t there it seemed as if like no one worked in that spot. What was missing and what I wanted to do is add something to my area so that my presence would be felt even without me physically being there. I knew that whatever I choose would have to be something that also inspired others just as much as it could inspire me. That’s how I ended settled on putting up quotes that made me feel somet...

Must See Kpop Dance Practice Videos –Male Version

The Kpop world is filled with many great bands that are within their own right amazing dancers. Watching the music videos is one thing but when you get to see those dances without all the lights, glamour and cut scenes is when you really get a chance to appreciate them. When its just the music and them dancing without distractions is when the magic happens and you really get to experience their talent. I have watched a few dance practices from bands that have really inspired me to try to learn those dances myself. So I have decided to list out some of those wonderful dances for you guys to judge for yourself. Now this list is going to be limited because there are many dance practices that I have never seen so if I have excluded a band that you think deserves some recognition for their amazing dancing abilities let me know. Also the list is not in any particular order either. 1) History- Just Might Die (blindfold dance practice). You can tell when someone has practiced a dance lot...

Current Obsession: BTS

From their style, sound and swagger BTS really bring something different to the Kpop scene. Their sound is a mix of hip hop, alternative rock, pop and R&B. Each member has their own unique vibe and voice that sets them apart from each other and adds to why they work so well together as a group. BTS or Bangtan Boys is a seven member korean Hip Hop group. Its members line are made up of rappers Rap Monster (Leader), Suga and JHope, and singers; Jimin, Jin, V and Jungkook (the youngest). This band only has a few years under their belt so far but if they keep it up I think that they could be here for a very long time. There is something that feels very unfinished about this them, something very raw and I like that. Writing their own lyrics and often producing some of their own songs gives their music a personal touch. Often it feels like whatever they are singing about is something that has really affected them or something that they have had experience with. Especially in their pr...
