If you get a chance to visit South Korea and happen to bum into kids, ask them who is their "President"? Well I am not talking that kids over there joining political at very young age but I am talking about something else. Hahaha! You will get the answer straight away from them which is "Pororo". What is Pororo?? or have you ever heard about Pororo?

Pororo is little penguin, a computer generated animated cartoon series created by Iconix Entertainment, SK Broadband. This little Penguin is not only the most famous cartoon at South Korea, but it also swap away in many form, just name it; toys, bags, shirts, stationery,phone case and even handy plus!!

When I saw it at the first time I fall in love with this cartoon animated!! With bright colors, big glasses, it was so adorable!^^*. This cartoon animated not only attract kids attention but adult love Pororo too!! including me. LOL ^^ If only I live at South Korea, I think my room would be full with Pororo stuffs! hahhahah!!

The program currently airs in Australia, France, India, Italy,Puerto Rica, Singapore, Vietnam, Norway, UK and also Disney Junior (all across Asia). Wonder how can I get to know Pororo? Well I am not free to watch TV but as I'm looking for information through internet, out of blue pop up Pororo on my screen! I was like @_@!! What is this?? Its look so cute and adorable so I start to search for it and forgot what I am looking for earlier! Hahaha!

Then after I know what is it and get to know someone from South Korea, I start to ask him about Pororo. ^^ He gave me some link on YouTube and I start to watch it ^^~~ Then I told him first thing I wanna buy once I reach Korea (my spring trip) is Pororo!

When I open it (on my birthday) I was extremely happy as I saw PORORO plush!! hahaahhah!!! along with stamps collection, and toys for my nieces and nephews! I was so moved!! ^^

Music: K Pop vs K Indie

These days K Pop become a phenomena around the world and if you ask around what is K Pop, most of people know about it even though they were not a big fan of this music genre.  As K-pop attract a huge amount of attention from around the globe, they were officially listed it in YouTube as one kind of music genre on 15 December 2011.

Since its establish on YouTube, K-Pop fever kept gather millions viewers every month.  K-Pop really bring the house down on 2012 and become the King of music genre in YouTube as
Psy videos hits the chart for most views for this year. Gangnam Style not only set a record for the most watches videos on YouTube but it also set the World Record of 1 Billion viewers.

However, most of my Korean friends told me that
Korean prefers K-Indie rather than K-Pop. At first I was thinking what is K-Indie??I always heard K-Pop, but never heard of K-Indie. After struggling thinking what is K-Indie I decided to search for it at YouTube and after hearing couples of songs, I understand why Korean prefers K Indie rather than K-Pop! In fact me myself have fall in love with K-Indie!! Below is some of my favorites K-Indie songs. :D



                                         




P/s: Enjoy it!!
