KCraze: KPop girl groups 101

Kekeke...I knew it! Sooner or later, I had to ‘let the cat out of the bag’. I have to confess something...not so secret.

                I like Korean Pop a.k.a. KPop. 

                Silly, right? Well, I guess I’m guilty of being silIy. I know there are people who simply hate the hype & even called it 'KPoop'. Ooo...

                I think it all started years ago (I think back in 2003) because of a certain KDrama called “Winter Sonata”. 

Gosh...that drama was so good (I cried buckets watching that drama) that I just had to surf the net & look up this ‘Hallyu Wave’ thingy some more. Thus, here I am now =)

                Let’s just say, when it comes to KPop, I know what I’m talking about...huhu. If you are a noob in this KPop thingy, well…lemme help you become an instant pro! 

                This entry is dedicated to several KPop girl groups that I feel managed to spice up my interest in what I fondly called the ‘Kimchi Pop’. 

NOTICE: If you suddenly happened to find yourself surrounded by KPop crazy tweens, feel free to drop some names from the following girl groups. Then, those tweens will certainly find you very ‘cool’ indeed…kekeke. If you wanna go even further, just click on the songs I’ve linked here. Then, you can also sing-along with the tweens, if you feel like it =)
