Teenage Trends: K-Pop and Anime

 
Wazzup Pilipinas!

As a teenager, what's your dream that you wish to fulfill in the future?

To be a doctor? An engineer?

Have your own house and car? How about your own happy family?

That would be great right?!

But as of the present time? what's your dream? For your favorite anime character to be real? To meet your bias Korean artist?

If your answer's yes, then you can surely relate to this article.

                                   

But before I start.. I'm just curious..

For ANIME LOVERS, what's interesting about anime? who influenced you to like such?

For KPOP FANS, why do you admire those Korean so much? I mean they're just humans aren't they? what makes them so special?

In this article, I'll give justice on why most teenagers love these stuffs (though I love reading more than fangirling.) :)

Teenagers like me tend to follow the trends and in our generation, these two are the famous topics. But in your opinion, is following the trend reasonable enough to like something? For me, its not. Of course there's something in animes and kpop that we teenagers love.

KPOP

EXO, Girls Generation, Infinite, Shinee, Big Bang, 2ne1, These are just some of the famous korean groups that we adore. In my point-of-view, I find Kpop songs pleasing to listen. Even if I can't understand the lyrics, I still take time to listen to their music. I also love their performances because I can see the cooperation among the group, they're so talented and I can see that they enjoy performing because they love what they're doing. Also, the topics of the songs are nice because the topics are something that anyone can relate to, like for example, love. Unlike some songs that tells about sex and money, not appropriate for young audiences. Lastly, I also like them because frankly, I find most of them drop dead gorgeous, especially my bias Luhan and Sehun of EXO. Every girls' dream as they describe them.

ANIME

Like in Kpop, I also have reasons why I like anime :) First, I really like the characters because their looks are unique. I mean they're different to common cartoons. Second, the stories. Though some are cliché, everytime I watch them, I can feel the emotions to the point that I'll laugh, be sad or even cry. I also like them because somehow, they show the Japanese culture. I can also understand some of the things they say because its in nihongo and currently, I am studying the japanese language. These are my favorite animes that I would like to recommend: Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Gakuen Alice, Special A, Naruto and Lovely Complex. There's a lot moreeee out there! Enjoyyy :)

Before I end this article of mine, I would like to share something. Do you know what's great in being a fan of Anime and Kpop?

It's fangirling together with your lovely friends.
