I didn’t plan to like K-Pop. It just happened in a very normal way. One day I was tired, head full, thinking about life and worries, and I played a song someone shared in a group chat. I didn’t understand a single word. I almost skipped it. But something in the sound made me stay. That was it. No big moment. Just a tired person listening to music.
Since then, listening to new K-Pop songs has become something small but meaningful for me. I play them while sweeping the floor, sometimes while cooking, sometimes when I can’t sleep and the night feels too long. My parents always said music is medicine if you use it well. I didn’t believe them when I was younger, but now I see it. The songs calm me, even when my mind is noisy.
The music videos also caught my attention. At first, I only noticed the colors and dances. Later, I started seeing the effort. You don’t move like that without practice. You don’t smile like that without discipline. My father used to say, “Anything that looks easy has a long story behind it.” When I watch those videos now, I think of training, mistakes, and repeating the same step again and again until it works.
One day I tried a dance challenge I saw online. Just in my room. Nobody watching. It was funny and bad. I missed steps and laughed at myself. But it felt good. My mother always encouraged us to try things even if we fail. She said fear wastes more time than mistakes. That small dance reminded me of that lesson.
K-Pop didn’t change my life in a big way. It didn’t give me money or answers. What it gave me was release. A break. A moment where I could breathe and not think too much. Sometimes that is enough.
I also noticed how music connects people. Different countries, different lives, same song. It reminds me of family gatherings where everyone sings differently but still feels close.
For me, K-Pop is not about trends or copying idols. It’s just music that found me when I needed it. Simple, imperfect, and real. And maybe that’s why it stays.
