Headed to work like usual and then in the evening I met up with John, Ryan, Josh, and some girls from school at a Korean club. The majority of the people there were female making it great and we were the only foreigners there. It was pretty awesome. Since it was a Korean club they were playing Korean music. Korean club music is crazy. The video I have below is just an example of how one song has so many different parts it almost doesn't make any sense musically and I often felt confused as to weather the song had changes or was just at a different part in the song. Another thing that really set the music apart from other music is that most songs would feature a part where everyone would sing something that sounded more like a cheer at a sporting event than part of a song. The song I have below starts at about 40 seconds in and the main part that people would yell along with in the club is the part where the girl keeps saying "OK". This was one of the top songs in Korea last year. This isn't a perfect example, but it gives you a little bit of an idea of how crazy the songs can be and how many tempo changes and musical changes can take place in one song.
This second video is just to show that not all Korean music sounds like that, just what I experienced at a Korean club here in Japan. This song was released in 2004.
