I have come to realize that communication knows no boundaries, a sense of understanding and emotion can emit from something as universal as a piece of artwork or as complex as a melody. Wedding Dress by Taeyang, was the first Korean song that I was exposed to and since 2010 my obsession and passion for all things Korean has not only persevered through the years, but it has grown strong. A simple search on the world wide web kindled a passion as hot as the many Korean dishes. From the search of my first Korean song, I was strung along to watch my first variety show among many, to my first Korean drama among a vast sea, to my one and only first concert, which happened to be of a Korean boy band, Big Bang. The life of a Korean Idol has been one of the many things that intrigue me about this culture. My passion for Korea is built from admiration and curiosity, but above all, is the facade of glamour that attracts me. The Korean idols that I admire began their journey from humble beginnings and able to reach many amazing achievements through sacrifice and hard work. It is the gloss of glamour that surrounds the idols and the story that shadows them that fuels my passion for the Korean Entertainment Industry. The beauty of Korea is one that I would like to witness, not through the monitor, rather, with my own two eyes.
