About korean music

Stephen,
It was heavy wind and cold this morning in Korea. It’s -1 degrees.
I reckon English weather is very changeable. I could see all types of weather in a day when I lived in Manchester.
I felt you’re really warm as I read your blog. You’re also very good dad for your daughter, Lucy. I believe she’s lucky to have kind and smart dad. I’m quite jealous of her good dad. I’m sorry that your wife was died by cancer. I know it’s heavy to manage a family with single parent.
I remembered that I thought about death of my parents when I was young girl under thirteen. I was afraid how I lived without my parents after they died.
At that time I should enjoy playing with friends but I was philosophical and scared about life. I didn’t sleep at nights because I wanted to see and keep my parent’s live in their room. Isn’t it strange? I didn’t tell my mum what I was feeling about them. If I told her about my feeling she must be laughed. Now I don’t have such a ridiculous fear any more after I realized death is out of my control when I read the book, Anne. I was quiet and very timid girl before I went to high school. Now I still have these characters but I’m changed to be lively and cheerful. How about your daughter, Lucy? Is she complicated?

Today I want to tell you about Korean music. Of course, I like to listen to Korean music but Korean musicians are not popular with European people. I don’ know if you have heard them ever.
You seem to have very young inspiration, you listen to the music, green day, scissors sister’s like that. Korean young generation likes idol group, Dongbangsinki, SS501, Super junior. I don’t like them because their music doesn’t give me any sympathy and doesn’t motivate anything. Also I hate to watch their stupid performance with lip-sync on the TV. Am I quite criticsm? I like old music like 80’s and 90’s. When I was a high school student, Taeji and boys became a brilliant pop hero. Their songs hit on the top as soon as the album was released. His impressed music was unique and sensational even he appeared on TV news at prime time. He stood up to the press at the end of 90’s because he stopped making the music and he lost his inspiration due to pressures of creation. He still has lots of crazy fans even it has past almost 10 years.
My favorite Korean pop musicians are SG wanna be, MC Mong, SPY, Lee jung. I hope you have an opportunity to listen to good Korean music through the Inter-net. I like smooth and easy songs. Sometimes I like to listen to dancing music loudly especially cleaning my room.
I tried to link my favorite song on the blog but it’s not available.

I didn’t talk to my mum last night because I came back home late. She was sleeping early because she was tired during her journey. This morning she gave me a small, beautiful pearl earring. She managed to carry two heavy luggages when she left for Seoul. My elder sister packed a lot of clothes for my youngest sister’s baby. She brings up two girls in China and some clothes are not fit for them. It’s economical that old sisters hand over the clothes to younger sisters as I grew up. My mum bought gifts for my family and her friends. I’ll see them tonight. I think she didn’t visit Forbidden city and other beautiful sites because she visited there last journey. She preferred spending the time with her grand children to sightseeing.
I’m going to go to Korean traditional architectures tomorrow because I want to show you gorgeous architectures. I believe you will be very impressed.
My family is going to celebrate 100days of my youngest sister’s baby on Sunday after she’s got born. It’s traditional in Korea that parents shared foods with others for celebrating their baby’s live.
What is traditional custom do your country has?

Have a good time with your family and friends,
especially Stephen, I hope you and Lucy enjoy her birthday’s party at a nice hotel then relax on the comfortable bed till awake.

Hello! Vhere there anything else like a fairy-tale in my life as operas and ballets which I could enjoy in Prague long time ago? Sounds crazy but the only band which I was able to record as enjoyable in last xx years was "...the Red said Fred?" brothers from the UK. Though, I dont really read books. Practically I don´t own the radio. Soyoung, I can´t run so quickly as your English is good now. Keep your lovely character, you are really strong!

My favorite group is Super Junior!and i like SG wanna be, MC Mong, SPY, Lee jung,too. MC Mong is a funy and good man,has so many friend. Lee jung has a beautiful voice,though he don't looks so good,haha! you don't like SJ and the other young group ,i don't want to change your mind .But i'll say that they are simple and kind-hearted,and they make all their effort to be good. This makes me moved. Do you like hip-hop music? I think Epik High and Big Bang are both great group.

Am I too late to comment on this? XD. Anyway I'm an idol group fan [super junior]. as you said probably because of age [i'm 19] and also due to media that made me like them. haha my parents don't approve of my choice of music. They'd also prefer '80s songs. As you made your list of your favorite korean pop musicians, i would also like to try listening their music.

i love dongbangshinki and super junior ans many more, and they dont lip sync alot. more artists here lip sync then they do and plus they work harder than any artists here. i understand they arent your taste, but i would rather you not say bad things if your dont like them. it just gives people a criticism before they have looked at these artists!

my favourite idol group is superjunior!they are very hardworking and also handsome.they are just big boys,but they are quite good!

My favourite group is Super Junior, but I also like other aritist such as Moon HeeJun
