FARSIGHTED
When you are forced to stay in enclosed spaces, there is a natural tendency to reflect, to marinate on your thoughts and feelings, to reevaluate all aspects of your life. While some can’t stand being in confined spaces for extended periods of time, I actually don’t have a problem with it save for the thought that there are people who can’t make a living while in quarantine.
Lately, I’ve been watching a Netflix Original that, like its show where it detailed the formula for the genre’s recent worldwide success. The episode explained that there are multiple layers of sounds and beats that are paired with Korean and English lyrics in specific seconds of a song. Of course, it also explained K-Pop’s visual styling, the intentional use of beauty products for both men and women and their ways of marketing. The snack-size documentary attributes the success of K-Pop largely to the support of the South Korean government. The industry is not only fascinating; it is brilliant and is entirely farsighted.
