Intro and Need to Know...

This site is going to be giving you all the information you need on your favourite Korean idols and your favourite Korean groups. The majority of the Blog will be based on groups from SM Entertainment and YG, both music companies from South Korea. This blog will contain files and pictures of each member of each group, that I can accurately relate to you, as well as new music videos, new album releases and tour dates when and if released. I hope this blog will be use full for any English speaking K-pop fan that just wants to know that little bit more and wants to watch their favourite idols in interviews and parodies. Also if I have gotten anything wrong please leave a comment below and I will rectify my mistake, in no way am I an expert so help criticism is welcomed.
To begin with you need to know a few basic facts.....
1) unlike in the UK and USA superstars, in South Korea, are referred to as idols
2) when you are referring to your favourite idol you would refer to them as your "bias"
3)"oppa" is often a term used to refer to a Korean Idol as it is a respectful term in Korea, among other things. For example you may refer to a certain idol as "Siwon Oppa" but it is not regularly done by the majority of English speaking fans.
4)Each group has a fan base with a specific name. For example Super Junior fans are E.L.F's
5)If you want to watch an interview or show in Korean on YouTube ensure that when searching you include "engsub" or "eng sub" in your search. This will bring up English subtitled videos if they are available.

Please note that in the profiles for each idol not all looks and styles for a year can be or will be included. The main look for that year will be the picture used. Thank you.
