00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.810 align:middle line:90%
- K-Pop is Korean pop music.

00:00:09.810 --> 00:00:11.760 align:middle line:84%
Some people would say,
it's just pop music,

00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:13.220 align:middle line:84%
but it's something
different to it.

00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:14.540 align:middle line:90%
There's something unique.

00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:17.100 align:middle line:84%
- People say to me, how do you
understand what they're saying

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:18.425 align:middle line:90%
when you don't speak Korean?

00:00:18.425 --> 00:00:22.145 align:middle line:84%
You just like them for their
looks and their dances.

00:00:22.145 --> 00:00:24.890 align:middle line:84%
- When I became a fan, I
was going through a lot

00:00:24.890 --> 00:00:26.300 align:middle line:90%
of personal things.

00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:28.880 align:middle line:84%
Their lyrics, their
music uplifted me.

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:31.550 align:middle line:84%
I have so much to
look forward to now.

00:00:31.550 --> 00:00:37.550 align:middle line:84%
- I feel like people really rely
on these K-Pop idols to connect

00:00:37.550 --> 00:00:39.920 align:middle line:84%
when they wouldn't
otherwise connect

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.190 align:middle line:90%
in a way with other people.

00:00:43.190 --> 00:00:45.250 align:middle line:84%
- I think, at the
end of the day,

00:00:45.250 --> 00:00:47.780 align:middle line:84%
K-Pop is just another
genre of music,

00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:50.140 align:middle line:84%
as well as a culture
phenomenon, and it's being

00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:52.130 align:middle line:90%
internationalized here.

00:00:52.130 --> 00:00:53.420 align:middle line:84%
But at the end of
the day, no one

00:00:53.420 --> 00:00:55.940 align:middle line:84%
should really be
teased or targeted

00:00:55.940 --> 00:00:57.350 align:middle line:84%
for liking something
that's supposed to be

00:00:57.350 --> 00:00:59.515 align:middle line:90%
an international language.

00:00:59.515 --> 00:01:05.000 align:middle line:90%
