Traditional Korean sounds get a makeover in K-pop, meet Joseon-Pop
One of the big reasons k-pop has been receiving so much love the recent years is the success of global influences in the music of k-pop. First-generation k-pop fans can definitely agree that Korean music has gotten more westernized in an effort to globalize the genre, which is great, but sometimes you just want to hear some more traditional.
Thankfully, there are a handful of songs that have the traditional Korean sound, and it shows a more Korean side to the music. Fans have dubbed this genre unofficially"Joseon-Pop," in which Joseon was the last dynamic kingdom of Korea. The sounds and beats included in the songs have a traditional component, and Koreans have felt pride in nationalism.
This track is a great example of a fusion of traditional Korean sounds and modern music.
After listening to this playlist, can you say you feel a little bit more Korean? Korean people have a strong sense of nationalism, and it's times like these when you know that we can never forget our traditions and history.
