When I did second blog-spot assignment, I found a lot of picture of girl group. Most of them are under 20 years old. However, they are wearing extremely revealing dress on stage to attract fans' attention. There are many girl groups in Korea and Japan. They have pretty face and slim body. But problem is that every members of girl group have almost same proportion. They compete against other all girl group members. In addition, their popularity is banded according to fashion and visual appearance even if they are involved in same group. Due to this situation, their clothes become revealed and flashily more and more to receive attention.

Recently, revealing dress code is refrained by broadcasting station, especially in music program stage, in Korea. Viewers want members of girl group not to wear dress flashily because they are pretty much young, and they are often forced to wear revealing dress for entertainment agency that they are belong to.

I also enjoy watching music program on television to see girl group. As we know, they are trying to show themselves to viewers. However, music industry is really competed world. They have to inform their music and performance to people. I hope that they do not become just commercialization in the entertainment world. They are young and do not have right of choice.

Due to the developed social network, celebrities should pay attention to their dress code even when they go to the airport, to a restaurant and a convenient store. If they dress well, their clothing will be a fashion icon on which people support. However, if they do not, their fashion is robbed right and left consistently.

Weekly Blog Post #2 "Pop Culture"

                  I have been studying for a year and a half in Japan. When I came to Japan for the first time, it was hard to meet Korean culture. However, many Korean teenagers were eager to Japanese culture such as animation, music and manga.

                  However, now it is easy to access Korean music in Japan. Korean girl groups are on Japanese television show programs and commercials and it indicates the spread of Korean culture in Japan.

                  Korean girl groups are working in various fields. Girl’s generation, Kara, and 2NE1 are representative of Korean music girl groups. Their music is often located in a high rank on a music chart, and many people see, listen, and sing their music through “You Tube”. The reason why Korean girl groups are popular in Japan is that they have powerful performance and great proportion compared of Japanese girl groups I think. In addition, Paris Hilton, most famous celebrity in the world, posted 2NE1 music video on her blog with comment “why U.S cannot make singer like 2NE1” and it became really a hot issue in Korea. Recently, the concert was held in Paris successfully. It shows that the Korean music has become well known around the world.

                  The people who enjoy listening to Korean music also show curiosity on girl group’s fashion, activity, and even their comments. Few years ago, Japanese fashion, known as Harajuku Fashion, was popular among Korean teenagers. Now in an opposite situation, where Korean culture is coming to Japan.

                   Recently, number of friends asking about Girls’ generation and Kara has increased. It is really good news to hear that people who do not know well about Korea have curiosity on Korean culture along the spread of Korean girl groups’ music. I hope that this current situation is not only a temporary trend, and it keeps to grow constantly as a cultural icon.
